my elderly father (who has dementia/heart condition) received a call which upset him regarding being sued for fraud & was given an affidavit #. I spoke to a david smith then got the info about what account they were calling about then hung up. I called the # that was given to me to check on the supposed owed account & the # was out of service then tried looking up the corp. office address for the co. for the account & no such address matched. I tried looking up Cont. Legal Support on the BBB-nothing, I googled them & luckly came up w/this site & fd another address in Washington NJ which when I pulled up the website was just another business giving out business reviews for money however they did have a map site which I went to & it was an old small office building that held other businesses(massage etc). I called back & spoke to a Jacklyn Smith-funny how everyone's last name is Smith!! & she would not give me their address or any other info. I work full time plus, have a deabled son & elderly father to take care of & my dtr w/2 sons had to move back in due to loss of job so I don't have time to do any more f/u on this but I intend to call the local TV station & give then the info, they have a investigative team that will hopefully check this out & stop this people from scarring/scamming anyone else out of their hard earned money!!!
This company is using scare tactics illegally! I reported them to the FTC. It is illegal to threaten anyone with jail time, seizing of property and other threats. If you gave them any personal information, such as your bank account, IMMEDIATELY change your bank account. Notify your bank as they will take money out.
The company is NOT any legal intitiy. They are a collection agency only and fall under the Fair Debt Collection Act. If you want more information on your legal rights, go to https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ to file a complaint. Very easy to do.
If you want to read information on the Fair Debt Collection Act and what your rights are go to http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm
I hope this information will help anyone who is having to deal with this company. Although payment of debts are the responsibility of the consumer, a person should not have to feel threatened in order to resolve a debt.
Report them to the FTC. I have listed information on this in this thread. Do not worry, you haven't given them enough information to worry about, but if they threatened you with incarceration or seizing of property, report them.
Yes...my brother recieve call on his cell regarding a debt that l owed...first how did they get his number..and they told my my brother....that l was going to jail!!! they were rude and pushing...this is scary...and they are scammers
I received a call from this number some Investigator Josh Jones lol! They stated that I owed some money to a company in 2010 stating that they sent a supeona to my house and they received no reply they also stated that they would have the sherieff come to my house to serve the supeona so I asked for my court date to appear she saId that that would be in there some ghetto [***] black girl! The little Hindu people are getting smarter they are the ones that usually call, you know the ones that can barely speak english lol Now they have the hood working for them PEOPLE BEWARE!! I asked her what was the address for the company that was suing me she stated they didn't have that info so I'm waiting on he sherieff to come to my door with a supeona!! LOL I swear don't believe this crap they will get your info and leave you broke and F@#$% up! They will never get my information I don't care what they already have and best believe if they are calling you they have your social security number, your address and your work number. They got my information from a loan I applied for online and they sell your information to other [***] who will call you and try to access your bank account over the automated line( yeah they do that too) so yea they are some really needles in the a@@! Your best bet will be to get call block on your phone so that you can block the numbrs they call from and unknown caller Android users check your market they have all kinds of app you can get to block them.
