Attempted Extortion
Complaint
Louky
Country: United States
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.

That is the information I received via e-mail this morning. I got a blocked call from an Al " K " stating he is from Legal Once Services. He received a file with my name and SS# and he is scheduled to serve a notice of intent for a pending suit against me and he will be at my place of employment or my residence on 08/29. I call the number he gave me to call to get this matter resolved (844) 748-9648. I called and was told that I must come up with $150.00 dollar TODAY to stop the litigation process and to schedule a payment plan. I asked her to send me a Validation Letter of the Creditor and debt. They did and I requested further information to validate the debt and I clearly explained to the lady that I am aware of an outstanding payday loan but the amount she is claiming I owe is ridiculous , her response was it's was due to interest and additional fees, ok well I want to know what those fees are, I told her I want to make sure this is not a scam. After I told her I wanted to make sure this was not a scam she put me on hold for 5 minutes and then told me I would get an e-mail. Long story short here is my last e-mail to them:
Hello once again,
I asked to speak to you several times and was left on hold twice and spoke to a gentleman who stated he was the manager. I explained to him that I received another call from Mr. Al Kent or Al K as he referred himself. I told him that I have not received a response from my last two e-mail's which to this hour I still have not received a response. I explained that I want further information to validate the debt in question, his response was that your company is not a collection company, you are hired to litigate the matter and " TRY " to get the matter resolved out of court. He also stated that he can not provide me with any further information than what has already been provided in the validation letter. I told him what he just said contradicts the " validation letter ". I was not given the opportunity to request a FULL VALIDATION of the debt, I need further information regarding the creditor and the debt. He said there was nothing further he can do and it is my option to resolve the matter NOW. My rights under The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) has been violated. If the Notice of Intent of a suite against me is served tomorrow I will be contacting an attorney and filing a complaint against your company. I feel you are just trying to scam me out of more than what is owed and I have been given misleading information which is illegal when it comes to collecting a debt. That is another thing I would like to bring to your attention, during my call not once was I told that the call is in regards to attempt to collect a debt and my information was not confirmed, you could have been speaking to a complete stranger about my case which is also against FDCPA. As far as I'm concerned your business is a joke and I will not take your threat of a lawsuit as the truth until I have been subpoenaed to court and I am in front of a judge. I have been fully cooperative since this has been brought to my attention yet I have been mislead and I now believe this is a case of being scammed.
I will see if I get my notice of intent tomorrow!!
When they waffle and backpeddle, throwing in weazel-words instead of just serving a real summons, it's a shakedown scam.
They either serve a summons, or they don't.
The balance of your account is as listed above. Our client has authorized us to release you from all responsibilities in regard to this debt for 485.54
If you need to discuss this matter, contact us at 8669289430 M-F between the hours of 9 am to 5:30 pm EST.
The payment must be in our office on or before November 03, 2016 as this offer will no longer be recognized by our office after this date.
Yours Truly,
Robert Freeman
