Leaving debt collection information with your supervisor

Complaint

Texas Heat
Country: United States
Today a collection company called and left a message on my supervisor's phone with a very detailed message regarding my alleged debt status.  So I called the number and these people threaten me with not paying my bills and well as never paying my debts which is none of her business. They were going to serve with a  complaint to sue from the original source to appear in court. A bench warrant would be issued if I didn't accept their paper work.She also said a police office would be wtih her when she served me at my place of work.  They then called back to speak to me about this and I told them what they did was illegal what she said.  She also stated to be served at my job in front of my co-workers.  I told her to do what she had to do.  Then she call another number where I work and left a message she wanted to speak to my direct supervisor and left a reference number. Why would a process server need to speak with your supervisor

    I got two calls today about my son being served papers and court documents from a Texas number (214) 504-2404.  Is this for real?  Why would he be served papers on the east by someone from Texas? He doesn't owe anyone or does anything out of line.

      Profile is consistent with a common fraudulent "debt collection" shakedown racket.
      The threats and attempts to evade validation are typical of such fraudulent rackets, and violate FDCPA.
      They are indicators of fraud.

      Google finds little under that phone number.
      That is consistent with scammers running a con while attempting to hide their identities.

      Real debt collectors have a history of months to years of complaints, as expected for an actual business.


      File fraud and extortion complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General.
      Don't fall for this scam.

    I too just got a call from Andrew Joseph from J&R Processing # 214-504-2281. Saying a courier was trying to deliver documents to my job. If anything don't you get served by the sheriff office if its court order?

      Typical "shakedown" script.

      Don't hold your breath waiting to be "served", or you will faint.
      It's an act.

      File complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General.

      My mother received an urgent call from R&J using # 413-391-1941. They threatened her that I was going to be served and arrested at work for a debt back from 2001, which I do not owe. I'm guessing that after I research those records from 13 years ago - I'll find out that I've wasted my time for a bunch of scammers. The rep threatened that I would be served at my job for civil litigation, which I work to support my quadriplegic brother and father who suffered major brain injury after a home invasion. Needless to say I don't need the added stress of this false collection. I've got enough with every day life. What should I do?

      I received a call from J&R grouping,  stating that I was supposed to be served a summons,  they new my old address as well as my current.  They also called all my family members trying to contact me,  I don't know how they got their numbers.  They Also knew my SS#. I don't know if this company is legit, but I  have 3 kids I'm trying to  raise,  I can't afford to go to jail like they threatened me.  PLEASE HELP ME!  NEED ADVISE. I  did give them my account number to automatically withdraw payments cause they would want to take check by mail saying it might get lost.

        Call your bank and have those payments stopped. They can't threaten you with jail, you need a due process first- which is court. i'm pretty sure this is a SCAM!

      J&R group called looking for my husband. They wouldn't give me any information. I called back the number they gave me and they said they didn't have a website, they're just 'process servers' and needed to get some documents to him. I said can you call him on his phone and lose my number, they said sure, and hung up. they didn't even ask for his number.

      TJ  was right about everything he said, this IS A SCAM,  don not allow yourself to be worried when these idiots call, GET AS MUCH INFORMATION FROM THEM AS YOU CAN,  names, address, phone numbers, email address, fax#'s,  anything and everything you can get from them, then file a complaint with your local law enforcement, when you have the report from them,  file a complaint with the state attorney generals office....

      I feel so stupid and know better than to fall for this collection tactic, regarding an outstanding phone bill.  They did get me for one payment but Idid some research realized that it was just a scam.  Trying to dispute the charge and ensure that they don't get any addition funds.  They caught me when I was totally distracted 😟

He and his "supervisor" couldn't email it for i was already given enough time! Red flag! It's a scam! I then told him i needed to talk to my father who is a lawyer before doing any business without reading forms or letters. The today only price kept going down! Red flag red flag!

      My Dad got a call from JR group this past Tuesday. Very similar tactics. I'm willing to bet that it's the same people at it again.  How have they been getting away with this for so long?

      Got a call from my account 'agent'. Name was Lina Reeds from J & R. Said I didn't pay my electric bill from Stream utilities. I asked why it took them 10 years to call. They did however have all my current address and read all my 'rights' before a server and Sheriff arrived. So someone is out there selling information about me without realizing I am broke. Couldn't have paid my $800 electric bill even if they were not a scammer.
