Hey hope you can provide me with more info. i called the FBI and they told me to report to the Federal Trade Commission. Did you at any point end up with mail or anything like FED ex stuff from them? My husband got to work today and saw a note from Fed Ex that read he was attempted but not there. he called Fed Ex and no record of anything in his name or record of fed ex note. They are obviously using fraudulant paper. just wondering if this may all be conected. as i know when you get served it goes through the Sherriffs dept not Fed Ex.
These people have nothing to do with your brother. They are doing the same thing that Goodman Stern & Associates does, making harassing phone calls to people, claiming that they are going to serve you with a subpoena the next day if you don't give them payments for a debt you don't even owe! They tricked me, got me to pay them 50 dollars through my credit card and were going to take monthly payments until I spoke with the sheriff's dept, and they told me to report my credit card as stolen and get a new account number so that they could not get anymore money from me. I should have talked to somebody before I did such a foolish thing. I guess I'm getting a little naive in my "old age". Stupid me, I thought it was something that my wayward son had done, or that it was the homeless girl I had staying with me awhile back, but that was just my fear working overtime on my stressed-out mind! If I would have calmly thought it, through, I would have realized that if someone had really used my name and address for a credit card, the bill would have come to me and I would have known something was up. This never happened! And anyway, the sheriff's department serves subpoenas, or someone is hired to do it, and they certainly don't phone to warn you ahead of time that they're coming! How many people would answer the door if they knew someone was trying to hand them that dreadful piece of paper?
i have received 2 of these phone calls and one of them was today. Saying someone was going to show up tomorrow serving me papers for a civil matter stating i was being sued for over 800.00 lol. this was for a quick payday loan that i don't have. they refused to give me any information regarding this so called debt, and they refused to give me the so called creditor's phone number and told me to find it myself. are u kidding me And this was from 2005 are u kidding me. they were rude, indigent and told me they were going to send me documents via mail but had my mailing zip code incorrect. i cant believe these people i fell for this [***]. my husband works for fed ex so now i know what to look for and i will be contacting the appropriate people to report them. i got into a screaming match with Christopher James (probably a fake name and also a shouting match with his so called director Eileen Matthews i think her name was) btw, she was a real peach also and she hung up on me when i told her i was recording our conversation. the location of Decker, Ellis and Associates they said is located at 2711 centerfield rd suite 400 , Wilmington Delaware. I am going to call my mobile carrier and block any calls from them. I just received an updated credit report and it has nothing whatsoever about what they are calling about its a bunch of crap..
This place is a scam and they scammed me !! They called and said they wanted to get a current address to serve me with papers to take me to court for an old walmart credit card. they game me my social security, an old address and my full name, year card was opened and when it went default. i was convinced since i really did let this card go to collections, this was real. they said i could settle out of court for a little over $600. gave them my credit card info and they took half of the $600 something and said they would recharge me again in 1 month.
i started wondering if this was a scam. i called walmart, which banks with GE capital and they said my account is now with a different department of GE capital that deals with old / bills that went to collections. i called that department and they said that my balance is $0 and that they did not give my debt to a collection agency to collect. they said since it was over 8 years, they pretty much gave up on tryin to collect...lol.
i called chase, my bank, and explained all this to them. within 12hours they credited me back my money. i was really surprised i got my money back...it was a good 2 weeks later that i started having my doubts.
