Last thursday I was served with a summons at my place of employment. Apparently this company has initiated legal proceedings for a Direct Deposit Overdraft I had with my bank. I contacted them today to see if i can get the issue resolved by just paying it and seeing if they will settle. I owed $1,500 and they alllowed me to settle the account for half of what I owed. Before paying them I googled the phone number and found this page. I just checked up on them on the BBB and the County Recorders office and everything seems legitimate. They emailed me a settlement letter agreeing to release me from the debt if i follow through with their offer. Im calling them back shortly to pay.

Really? And had you been in contact with them before the summons? Did they mail (not email) you validation of this debt? Why don't you mention your bank contacting you about this well before it ever coming to a summons? There is much about your post that does not add up.
Good call yef. Especially considering this is apparently in reference to the infamous Barrett & Associates. Could be a new number, same methods. Time will tell.
Gud valsigne!
