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.

My story is very similar to everyone elses' on here, except that in an interesting twist, when I asked if Mr. Duke had proof the credit card in question actually belonged to me, he replied that he had photos of me using it! He has also indicated that he has numerous pictures of me and "I am a very ATTRACTIVE girl". It gets better. Before I realized this was a scam, and was attempting at all costs to prevent process servers from coming to my workplace, Mr. Duke suggested I "ask my boyfriend for money" because a "gorgeous girl" like me "has to have a boyfriend". After that, when I still couldn't come up with any money (because I'm broke, duh) he said he would give me 1 hour to come up with any "better offers" I could make him or if I could think of "anything else" I had to offer him. In every call to me, he mentions he has my photo and that someone as "pretty" as me should be able to come up with money. I actually did give him my credit card info, thank God I was so broke he didn't get anything. SO. CREEPY. Has he pulled this [***] on anyone else, with the photos? It's utterly bizarre and if he's trying to pretend he's an attorney I mean COME ON. What attorney would say this kind of stuff, especially if it was being recorded?
I called Michael the P.I. today. So glad his number was on here. Also filed a police report in my hometown, a complaint with the FTC, a complaint with the attorney general in my state, and have a call into a detective in the financial crimes division in Corona.
Not today, Mother F*ckers!

You don't get a "g" letter within 10 days, file a complaint with FTC reporting same.
You get some other letter, like a "settlement letter" missing the required FDCPA language, file a complaint with FTC then get an attorney, to sue for FDCPA violations.
They harass and threaten you, or keep calling your relatives after they've already located and contacted you, or start feeding you some line of BS about some "account" that's not yours, get an attorney. You can find a consumer attorney in your state through www.naca.net
Note the weazel wording.
Deception by implication, fully intended to threaten, but with an "escape route" if they get caught.
Pretty typical for US shakedown rackets.
Ironically, the scripts used in the office are almost exactly the same as the ones previously used by the "Rincon" scam group that was raided in October of 2011. I will post these scripts from their office online tomorrow or Monday (give me time to scan them in).
Some of the employees are as follows (generally "closers"). I will give the full names of the remaining individuals as soon as I complete the records review and assess their culpability. The real names of the people harrassing whartever consumer that is reading this is as follows:
Samuel Alexis Marquez (of course)
Joshua Starbuck (manager who recently scored and lost a big "spiff" in one week lol)
Wendy L. Marquez aka Wendy L. Starbuck
Damien J. Brown
Bernadette Martinez
Kisha Foster
David Liebo
Joe Villa
Manuel D. Guerro
Don't worry, haven't forgot about you Paul (big producer), Yvette, Olivia, Sean, Joel, Andree and Antonio, just haven;'t had time to contact all your victims yet. tomorrow I will spend the day contacting the victims and once I establish culpability, as I have already done with the ones above, everybody's full name and home addresses will be made available so the consumer know who to sue and where to serve you at.
I will do my best to help all consumers get their money back, but this will probably only be effective if you paid by credit card and if it was within the last 90 to 180 (depending on the card issuer). Further, to argue fraud, the collector must have made false representations that litigation was pending or that they were process servers. Further, the debt must have been beyond the (California) four year statue of limitations.

Has everything finalled?...I see that some of the plantiffs have been dismissed. Are the above being held accountable for their actions?
I hope people find and read this thread before paying them any money. Are they legally allowed to collect debts and are the debts real? I am a bit confused and hope someone (maybe Michael) will explain.
