This # calls everyday with a recording they are Esser, James & Assc & are doing an Asset Liability Investigation on my son & to call back @ 1-855-624-9665. After much research on this, I have found out it's a scam & they call all kinds of people under all kinds of #'s - calling all their family members & such as well, asking for info & pics - wth kind of crap is that?!! If they were real investigators, wouldn't they have all that already - duh!!!
So I just wanted to let you all know who is in my area that might be getting calls from the local # because it had not yet been reported. But do look up that 855#...you'll see exactly what I'm talking about - go to 800notes.com

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
