23 Aug 2012Received a voice message on my cell phone from "Melissa" to remind me that today is my scheduled service date and that she would be out to my residence and/or my place of employment "to serve a notice of intent" unless I returned the call immediately. What a crock! She said yesterday she would be out to see me today. Idle threat. She calls all over the country so she just uses a scare tactic. If she shows up at my job she can't get past the front entrance. If she shows up at my job or at home later today I will call the local police to arrest her for attempted blackmail and attempted extortion, which is what they are engaged in. They are crooks. A legitimate collection agency sends a notification letter and follows the federal Fair Debt Collection Act regulations. The local sheriff's office where I live delivers notices of lawsuits filed in court and they do NOT call in advance.

      I got a call today from a Carolyn Adams and she told me that I would be served by her tomorrow at my house or my work. Isn't there something that can be done?

    A Paul Wiseman left me a message today saying he had an affidavid that I need to sign & to call me back. I think I will pass on that request.

    Same as Joe P, a Paul Weisman called saying that an affidavit had been signed and notarized and for "unnamed" to call back or else it will not be in that person's favor.

    I rec'd a call on today, when I asked questions they refused to answer them. So I told them I would be reporting them to the attorney generals office, & they told me there was no need to call the attorneys general office & hung up on me!

    Similar experiences to the above postings.  Left a voicemail 10/5 stating:  

    "Yes, hi, this message is intended for Barry <my last name>.  My name is Mr. Andrews, calling today regarding an affadivit I've received here signed and notarized and due to proceed against Barry.  At this point, I do need to attach a voluntary statement on file, prior to forwarding this documentation out.  I can be reached, Mr. <my name>, at 585-286-3015, that's 585-286-3015 case # XXXXXX."

    So many things wrong with this.  

    First of all, it makes absolutely no sense that anyone would "require" something that is "voluntary." If my  statement is voluntary, then you don't require it.  

    Secondly, as previously observed, this is not how negative action against a consumer progresses.  They don't call you in advance.  

    Third, an affadavit is simply a sworn statement, which could be as simple as "I know nothing about this person."  

    Fourth, "attach a voluntary statement on file" - huh?  "Attach on file?"  What language is that, exactly?  

    Fifth, "prior to forwarding this documentation out" - to whom?  A creditor?  Me?  Shaggy, Scooby and the gang?  (if it's the latter, I can go ahead and tell them it was old man Weathersmith, the disgruntled janitor at the closed amusement park)

    Finally, I called an attorney friend who stopped me mid-sentence to tell me he'd run into these exact people several times before, and after tracking them all up and down the east coast, ultimately determined that it was a total scam and they were very difficult to pin down.  

    Just to be safe I pulled all three of my credit reports (via the free method ... federal website https://www.annualcreditreport.com/ ) and all are sparkling clean.  My credit is actually even better than I thought.  I pay my bills, and have no outstanding unpaid debts.  

    Conclusion:  Total Scam.  

    Oh, PS - They called my cell (primary line) again today (10/25).  Answered on speakerphone but muted.  Result?  Dead air for 45 seconds before they hung up, reaffirming the conclusion that this is a scam.

        Maybe holding multiple false and deceptive thoughts in your head, over and over again as you try to repeately con people, kills brain cells and makes you stupid.

    I just got a call from Paul Weisman. They have actually called me several times, but I didn't answer. They leave messages like the above... "I have an affidavid that I need your response on..." . That doesn't really bother me. But today they called my work. That does bother me. Is there anything I can do? They are trying to collect on a discover card from 1995. The balance, when I got divorced was $3000... now they say it's $17,000. Any comments?

      When you get another call, tell them that the debt is OOS (Out of Statue).
      They can't collect.
      As for the original poster who was told that "Melissa" was on her way...nope!
      That was and is a lie.
      If anyone gets a notice it will be and IS served by  Gwinnett County Sheriff' Deputies ONLY!
      I repeat by Gwinnett County Sheriff Deputies ONLY!

    Got a message today from "Caitlin Reed" about "a complaint filed against (my) name and Social Security number." She said I had 48 hours to call her back at a 585 area code number to "address the matter at hand." Sounds like a total scam to me. As others have noted, any real legal matter shows up as a printed document in the mail. I know I haven't done anything illegal or offended anyone, and my credit rating is good.

    I received a call last week from them in regards to a supposed payday loan debt that I still owed on.  When I told them that I had filed for chapter 13 bankruptcy 6 mos after the supposed debt, a woman named Lisa said that the debt may not have made it onto my bankruptcy so I still owed them.  Not possible, I spoke to my lawyer and he said that all debts were absolved, besides that he gets several calls per week from his clients in regards to the same scams.  Not to pay them.  I never recieved written notice from them nor from the payday loan company they said I owed.  All debtees are given 1 year to file against the bankruptcy before they can no longer collect.  This payday loan company did not file.  Nor do they show up on my credit reports.  

    They have no legal ground.
