I've gotten the same calls...three times now. Same message about "the property". I called the number back the second time they called and the guy just says he's with the corporate office with JDI and associates. He kept wanting to know the number that was called so he could "look me up". I refused to give him my number and he got nasty and hung up on me. They called the third time today and I called back still refused to give my number. When I told him when I looked up his number I found reports of it being a scam, he said, "Good luck with that" and hung on me again. Total BS!!!
I received a phone call yesterday around 8:35pm est from the above number , A man stated I was name in a civil lawsuit and i owe epay loans $600.00 and they will settle for $400.00 and if you don't pay a officer will come to your home and issue you a summons to appear in court . Can someone tell me what to do?
I received a call from this same company today... They asked for a lump sum. I explained that I just got laid off and that I didn't have any money to pay with right now maybe next month and he responded "never mind you're just a deadbeat that doesn't pay your effing bills" I said excuse me? And he yelled "shut your effing mouth and I'll" I hung up on him... I called the company back and asked to file a complaint on mr. Murdoc and the operator said good luck and hung up on me. I doubt this is a legitimate company, I have worked in debt collections and we were never allowed to talk like this even if the customer was being rude we had to sit there an be polite. I called the cops and spoke with a deputy he suggested to watch my accounts and filed a report so that if something does happen that I can bring the report into court about the phone call...
Recieved a call from these people threatening to prosecute me criminally for a debt that they refused to verify in writing. This is an illegal practice! These people are frauds and if they call you please report them to the Federal Trade Commission at: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?lang=en
A collection agency cannot threaten you with criminal prosicution OR tell you that you are a "defendant" in a lawsuit that doesn't exist (and if they are still trying to collect, it doesn't). These people are also verbally abusive which is illegal. Don't let them scare you. They want your money & don't care what they have to do to get it (including scaring you to death) If they call tell them that you won't take any action on the debt until they supply you with proof of the debt in writing. If they get verbally abusive tell them that you, again, expect proof of the debt in writing and are going to file a report them to the FTC. Try to document the phone call as best you can so you can give the FTC an accurate account of what threats they made during the phone call.
This person calls and says that they are going to send a Sheriff to arrest us because they have a lawsuit against us and constantly harass us so I had to cuss them out today and tell them to go ahead and send the Sheriff.
