If someone received a phone call from this number than either our sales department was calling your business, or a creditor may have sent you to collections. If you call back we would be happy to verify the debt and if it was sent to us by a creditor by mistake then we will close the account. We take all collection laws seriously and are professional about how we approach our claims. Feel free to contact us if you are getting messages and we will get to the bottom of it. Thank you

I CONTACTED THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NO RECORDS OF THIS INDIVIDUAL BEING AN ATTORNEY!!!!
I checked the name out too. There's only one person with a name partially resembling his, but he is NOT currently eligible to practice law. Also, there is nothing on this group that I can find on BBB.
"Supervising Attorney Liaison" Right. It's a hogwash title. Meant basically to imply he's somehow connected to a law firm. It's not unusual for the employees of some of these debt collection outfits to imply that they work for a "litigation firm" or that they are engaged in "pre-litigation". Or that they are part of a law firm. In their outgoing calls they sometimes say they are part of some sort of pre-legal group.
Their corporate agent is:
MY TAX COMPANY, INC.
18075 VENTURA BLVD STE 105
ENCINO CA 91316
Rundown building in a run-down area of Ventura Blvd. I know the area well. I suspect that that is their physical location. Either that, or they are working out of a house or apartment.
In any event if they call you about a debt, always demand a debt validation letter be sent to you by US mail. E-mail no good.
They are debt collectors. So far as I know they aren't licensed at all. I believe they are located in the corporate limits of Los Angeles City and should have a business license. In any event, this is a common technique of some debt collectors, They cold-call someone and imply that they are conducting an "investigation". Of what, they don't really say. It's all meant to scare you. I'd ignore and block these kinds of calls.
This company is a scam
Complaint
Red Alert! Scam! Lies and Bad Faith!
I was contacted by this company. The representative Claimed to be able to collect my past due invoices upon a contingency that if they were not successful I would not pay a dime for their efforts. So I turned over an invoice to them in excess of 20k that I already had a judgment on the client. Within days the representative calls and claims that he did a skip trace and had located them in Texas and he also claimed that he had discovered that the client had over 140k in a savings account and he needed to have their attorneys to lock the assets of this client. However, now he needs me to send him a retainer of $6882.00 and needs it rushed; wired overnight in order to get his attorney working on it. Of course the no fee, unless we collect, does not pertain to the attorneys fees and there is a contract that says no refunds on your money. The century rep said this should take about 120 days for him to collect. I spoke with the rep many times throughout the course of over a year. And after they collected the money from me they surprisingly do return my calls and they give amazing excuses and they seem almost legit. Until you get the next representative and they give you a whole different story and they now claim my client has moved to ********** and has no ***** address and never was. Then you can tell yourself yep I have been scammed. There is a lot more to tell and I won't give out names. Due to the fact I did let the reps of Century Debt Solutions, Inc. know that I had been instructed by my attorney to file this complaint. The girl I spoke with begged me not to file this report due to it would cause her to lose her job and she is a single mom. It is not my desire to cause anyone to lose their job. I, however, have been lied to and scammed by this company. I want to caution and warn everyone, if you are having trouble collecting on invoices don't lose more money with these guys. Thanks for reading. Sincerely a concerned business owner and single Dad.
