Country: United States
I got a call today at home from a man stating he was a process server for Collin County DA's Office and he is with the Sheriff's office and needed to come serve a warrant on me.  I was shocked and asked why?  He stated do you live ....are you still at this address are you now at this address and I stated who are you?  He again, stated he was from the county going to serve court papers on me today. He gave me a toll free number for what he stated was the county's office which is 1 866.872.6116 gave me a case no. which he called a Cause No. 008307-TX. I called the number was transferred to a Mr. Fisher's office who stated that law suite in the amount of $6,214.24 was filed in Collin Co., Tx and that warrant was out for me.  He then after back and forth said let me get more information from my secretary and state this was for an outstanding debt in from Capital One a credit card that I obtained several years back and had disputes over interest charges etc.  He stated that if I did not want to go to court or jail that I could pay $1,951.00 in full by end of business today and this matter could be cleared up.  I explained that I recently lost my job etc.  Anyway, he stated that I needed to call him back by EOB today or they will serve the papers.  Ok, so that was a heads up for me.  I called the DA's office nothing is filed on me as of today, after searching PMG it is clear that they do not practice best practices for collections and have been in trouble for this before back in 2004.  I need someone to give me advise. I want to pay off my debt, I don't want this type of collections to continue this upset me, made my blood pressure raise, this type of collections are not the right thing to do.  Had they called and ask to make arrangements or give me an opportunity to clear the matter, rather then threaten me by taken legal action, or harassment stating they are sending a sheriff over today.  This is wrong, bad business, and should not continue this company is bad news.

    Not all reputations are ruined
    This has not even been "big news" in the Sun City/Menifee area.  Wayne's friends still view him as the second coming.  Or maybe they are just still enamoured of all the money the Lunsfords are still throwing around.

    A breach of contract is a lie.  Everyone we called actually owed money and instead of doing the right and noble thing decided to run and hide and not pay their bills.  So yes they lied when they said they would accept all the stipulations in their loan application for that credit card or loan.

    Don't you people ever get tired of this? Leave it alone already, everyone else has moved on, maybe you should as well.  Talk about beating a dead horse, all of you are pathetic. It's really pretty damn entertaining to come on here and read all the ridiculously, narrow-minded comments that people from both sides of the issue are writing.  Bottom line, if your one of the "employees" that got screwed, hey, find another job. And, if your one of the whistle blowers that keeps posting, well, it's obvious you don't have a job because you keep posting.  Let the courts settle this, and just shut up already, everyone!!

    make me stop
    Then why in the hell are you posting on here.
    Worry about yourself and don't worry about when and why the public wants to post a comment.
    If I want I can sit her all day long and make comments.
    It's truly none of your business.
    My job status is not your concern, but if you need to know I am retired and have plenty of time and money to post whatever comments I feel like posting.
    If you don't like it then don't read it.
    It' sounds like you are just tired of being exposed over and over again.
    This is a message board, to tell everyone on her to stop posting messages and to shut up is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. You must be a debt collector with a genius mind like yours!

    jeb needs a life and a job
    Jeb, People may of owed money but they did not owe it to you.
    You need to understand you were not working for a reputable company.
    You harassed people that did not owe anything to anyone and I honestly hope you go to jail. You need to go back to school and learn some ethics and morals because you seem to think you have done nothing wrong.
    You are dishonest and in denial. You sir are the liar.
    Now, go see if Jack in the box is hiring because debt collection does not seem to be paying your bills.

    enjoy while you can
    The Sun City/Menifee area is a pretty sad place to live.
    It really is the armpit of Southern Ca.
    Great place to make or buy meth though.
    The reason it hasn't been big news over there is because over half of the friggin city can't read or write.
    I'm glad he's throwing money around because what he doesn't give away will be taken from him real soon.

    What's really odd...
    Is the fact that you assume that I am a man. Are men the only people that you believe can form logical arguments or remain unemotional? Again, please note that the angry shill failed to actually address any of the points made above. Just like I thought.

    You and your friends celebrated each and every ill gotten gain collected. Why can't I have a good chuckle at your misfortune? You cared not for the family members that were harassed in pursuit of a 'paycheck,' and you certainly didn't care if the victims got fired after repeatedly being harassed at work. So once again, save the sanctimonious drivel for someone that might believe the lies. You know, like when you had to explain to your family that you're broke and don't have the skills to find work elsewhere.

    On a final note, please brush up on your basic understanding of proper nouns, comma usage, compound sentences and capitalization. While I wouldn't be so quick to question intelligence if I wasn't able to spell basic words like 'opportunity,' I really get it. You're in a lot of pain,
    don't appreciate the fact that you're being mocked and truly think that you should be given a break. That's why I'm not even touch any of the 'points' made in your circular arguments. I guess debating 101 wasn't offered at your alma mater.  

    Even still, I applaud your efforts to write a grammatically correct post that wasn't completely riddled with errors. I'm not one to give kudos to mediocrity, but at least you are applying yourself somewhere. Must have taken you an awful long time to come up with something worthy of, oh, maybe a C+ grade. Thanks again for playing the shill game! Come back again soon!

    FTC documented cases
    where people didn't owe anything, and you still got money from them using illegal deception and threats.

    Your scripts were designed for that purpose, even including how to handle cases where people claimed they had already paid, the debt was discharged in bankruptcy, or the account was fraudulent.  It didn't matter whether the account was legally owed or not, you had a talk off to get money anyway, all while evading validation.

    You played "process server" without being licensed and bonded, you played "attorney" without being licensed as one, even "deputy sheriff", or "with the DA's office" or "with the county court".  You even relished playing those parts, calling and harassing relatives, or even complete strangers, since you were incompetent at skip-tracing.

    And no, a breach of contract is only that.  It is not a "lie".  Your legal recourse would be to sue, if you still could.  But your legal remedies weren't good enough for you, so you had to lie with every call.

    Diana still wants her money.
    Now Harlow want some, too.

    Keep changing names, mail drops, whatever.  For all your talk of "deadbeats", you are the definition of "fly by night".

    That's what RICO was made for, to allow your liabilities and judgements to follow you wherever you go.

    You ignore the law, and just change names when you get sued.

    If the horse were dead
    there would be no reason to keep beating it, but this horse keeps getting up and moving.  It really needs more beating.

    If edward had money to open a new office last week and hire brad jade steve and others.  Why don't he pay his former employees?
  • 0
    serious
    I don't think he is responsible to pay anyone.  He also did not get paid.  Did he ever sign any checks that any of the former employees got paid?  Leave him alone, he owes you nothing.

    WHY
    Because you did not work for Edward, you worked with him.  Why don't you pay the former employees, since you are so concerned about it.
