Legal Asset Financial Group LLC Collection agency
Complaint
Michael
Country: United States
Legal Asset Financial Group LLC is an offshoot of Rincon Mangement Group LLC, et. al. As you may recall, the "Rincon" collection cluster was run by Jason R. Begley and Wayne Lunsford, all of which were shut down pursuant to an FTC sting and TRO/PP back in October of 2011. Two weeks after the raid on the Rincon cluster, Legal Asset Financial Group LLC was formed. The corporate documents are mailed to 2401 Simon Circle, Corona, CA.. This address is the last known address for Samuel Alexis Marquez and Victor Hugo Marquez. As many of you insiders already know, these two individuals were managers/senior collectors for the Rincon cluster. Recent internet activity shows complaints are already trickling in about this company. I need help getting a location on Legal Asset Financial Group LLC as I beleive that previously purchased debt from the Rincon cluster is now being collected through this entity in violation of the FTC preliminary injunction. If anyone has information or complaints against Legal Asset Financial Group LLC, please post and I will do the follow up investigation.
Comments
That would imply that the person on the phone would have at least known some of the details of incorporation, perhaps one of the Marquezes themselves.
This sounds like a really small office.

Then you must be referring to a mail drop for the agent on the incorporation docs.

They are probably in Corona, or they wouldn't be paying for a business license there.
Goggle gets hits on "355 N Sheridan St " connected to old "ARM" and "Pacific Management and Recovery" complaints.
So is that their real address, or is it just in the records for some other reason?
Can you emai me with what you think at wizeowlkac@yahoo.com. Thank you.
Real issue is what you want to accomplish. Telling them you are recording is a good way to make most scammers hang up immediately. For all their bluster, it's safer to be chicken. If they keep calling and threatening, you have evidence. Either way, it's your advantage.
If they are making physical threats, or pretending to be law enforcement, like claiming you will be "arrested" or demanding payment as they pretend to be "detectives" investigating you for "bank fraud", probably no problem either. File a complaint for wire fraud and attempted extortion with your state AG, who could use your recording as evidence even if they couldn't have recorded it themselves.
See California Penal Code, Section 633.5, states as follows,
“633.5. Nothing in Section 631, 632, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 prohibits one party to a confidential communication from recording the communication for the purpose of obtaining evidence reasonably believed to relate to the commission by another party to the communication of the crime of extortion, kidnapping, bribery, any felony involving violence against the person, or a violation of Section 653m. Nothing in Section 631, 632, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 renders any evidence so obtained inadmissible in a prosecution for extortion, kidnapping, bribery, any felony involving violence against the person, a violation of Section 653m, or any crime in connection therewith.”
See also California Penal Code, Section 653m , re harassing calls threating arrest,
“653m. (a) Every person who, with intent to annoy, telephones or makes contact by means of an electronic communication device with another and addresses to or about the other person any obscene language or addresses to the other person any threat to inflict injury to the person or property of the person addressed or any member of his or her family, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
I was aware of an earlier CA Supreme Court decision to the same effect.
Who else should I contact? There isn't a lot of information out there and I want to help spread the word.
Always expose the tyranny
See FTC v Rincon et al.
Since they claim Mr. Papp represents them for purposes of debt collection, send both LAFG and Mr. Papp a dispute and validation letter, mailed certified.
If after verifying receipt through the USPS website, you receive further calls, or further implied threats by Mr. Papp, contact an attorney to discuss suing for violations of FDCPA.
I asked her repeatedly of she works with LAF and she admitted to working with them in some capacity. I told her what was going on and she didn't say much but "ok" over and over. She said she would speak to Eric and call me back but that obviously never happened. Ciuldnt get much info from her..
If she won't provide it, ask her if Mr. Papp is their agent for service of process.
Nothing but a mail drop
Expose them
