Harassment
Complaint
Debra M. Persiano
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.

Murphey v. Asset & Capital Management Company: Misclassification claim on behalf of debt collectors for failure to pay overtime.
On July 14, 2011, this employment lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, North County Division. According to the complaint, an integrated enterprise of debt collection companies in Southern California operating under the direction and control of Jim Phelps, Thai Han and Stewart Phillips intentionally misclassified debt collectors as independent contractors in order to avoid paying them overtime compensation. These debt collectors have the job titles of “dialer” and “collector”. The enterprise controlled the kind of work performed by the debt collectors and also how the work was to be performed. The enterprise also provided all supplies, tools and office space to debt collectors. The debt collectors were supervised closely by the enterprise and could be terminated at will. As a result, the debt collectors claim that they do not meet the test of independent contractor under California law and are entitled to overtime for all the hours they worked in excess of eight in a workday and forty in a workweek.
If you believe you worked as a debt collector for any company that may have been part of this integrated enterprise of debt collection services, your information may be critical to the prosecution of this case. Please contact us now. 858-292-0792
Seriously? Think you were cheated out of "overtime" for your illegal activity. Hahahahahahahahah!!!
If you think any judge is going to be sympathetic once he/she learns what you were doing in the course of your "work" for this "integrated enterprise of debt collection companies".....you're seriously deluded. A more accurate characterization of what these THUGS do is robbery.....over the phone.
What goes around comes around.....and it's certainly coming around.......
If run legally, these would be marginal businesses.
Think about it..
Most businesses only have profit margins of maybe 5% to 7%, after all expenses needed to pay employees and keep the doors open.
Only thing that keeps them going is fraud and "efficient" collection through extortion, while shovelling away the money somewhere else.to evade judgements.
Require validation, take away extortion of unowed payments, pay unemployment and payroll taxes, and after a couple lawsuits, these scams are in the red, ready to shut their doors.
They can't be run profitably if run legally, so the "profits" that keep them going.are a direct result of their illegality. The owners know this, which is why they break them up into a lot of locations to keep going.

As I said before....come on current/ex-employees.....sign on as a member of this class action along with Joel & Christine and (the respectible) Pam.....so we have a neat, tidy and comprehensive list of who you all are so we, the victims, know where we can find ya........
Whoo hooo!!!
Are they shut down?
Is this verification that CMAG was one of Thai Han's operations?
Are they a Thai Han operation?

Sounds like she's upset 'cause she's got 32 apparently non-working phone lines with which to menace victims and Ring Central is causing her to lose (according to her) $10,000 dollars a day.
What's a respectable girl to do?
Wonder if this is happening at her CMAG offices in Corona -- or her P.B. Recoveries offices in Anaheim?
Maybe collecting some of her unpaid wages from Thai Han will be enough to cover for it.......
(Gross, presumably)
She could save a bunch by just laying everyone off.
You could paw through Accurint searches, find friends and relatives, employers (or at least people you thought were those, since you really weren't very good at it), and spread your harassment far and wide, all from the safety of anonymity.
Now, the game is out there, it's known.
"Even a child is known by what he does."
You are known by what you do.
You can be found anywhere, whatever name you use.
The tables are turned.
You picked the wrong person. I know who you are and I know where you live. You can no longer hide behind all those LLC's.
