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.

Alexander Graham Bell is spinning in his grave.
So was CMAG a Thai Han operation?
And what do any of these have in connection with Shekinah?
It's a judgement call.I know they trust people they put in place to make good sound decisions and I know for a fact that doesn't happen often enough .For instance, they hire people like Rain Lane and Pam Matthews who alienate everyone they come in contact with and have no concern for what position they put the principles in legally or morally.Both of these terrors made and continue to make huge messes but sometimes you have to learn as you go along.They would not have hired either of these two if they had the opportunity to do again but as we all know hindsight is 20/20.
If it was profitable for a time, it's a viable business strategy, consistent with setting up lots of different "offices", so if you lose a few, you just keep going. Drain all the money out, and it they get sued, just fold up that "office".
When there is so much of this going on, it's just not credible that they just "trust people they put in place to make good sound decisions". Maybe the people they put in place are making exactly the decisions they were incentivized to.
That is funny!
(doc. #78, 79), counsel for Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or
“Plaintiff”) and counsel for Defendants Rincon Management Services, LLC also
d/b/a “Rincon Debt Management,” “Rincon Filing Services,” and “Pacific
Management Recovery”; Prime West Management Recovery, LLC; Union
Management Services, LLC also d/b/a “Union Filing Services”; National Filing
Services, LLC; City Investment Services, LLC; Global Filing Services, LLC;
Pacific Management Recovery, LLC; Jason R. Begley; and Wayne W. Lunsford
(“Defendants”) met for mediation on April 2, 2012, before Attorney Settlement
Officer, Leonard L. Gumport. The parties submit this report regarding the progress
of the mediation.
First, the parties want to acknowledge their appreciation to Mr. Gumport for
his time and for the valuable service he has provided to them in mediation. Mr.
Gumport greatly facilitated the parties’ settlement discussions.
At the mediation, the parties entered an agreement in principal regarding
settlement on behalf of the seven named business entity defendants in this matter.
The FTC has provided defense counsel with a proposed stipulated final order for
permanent injunction and monetary relief, which defense counsel is currently
reviewing. FTC counsel has requested financial disclosures from Defendants,
which will be used to prepare a settlement that counsel will recommend to the
Commission.
After the mediation, through continued discussions between counsel,
individual defendants, Jason Begley and Wayne Lunsford, agreed to settle on
behalf of County Filing Services; Maple Filing Services, LLC; Prime Western
Investments, LLC; and Rockwell Management Services, LLC. In order to
facilitate settlement with these non-named collection entities, counsel are currently
discussing a potential stipulated amendment to the complaint to add these entities
as defendants.
In addition, counsel are currently discussing a potential settlement with
twelve (12) additional receivership entities that also engaged in debt collection.
Defendants identified these as entities that were owned, and managed by their
collection managers. See docket #45-1 p.16 (Begley dec. ¶ 35). Counsel have
agreed in principal that settlement with these entities is a desired outcome, and will
continue to discuss issues related to settlement on behalf of these receivership
entities such that settlement is efficiently and expeditiously reached.
To date, the parties have discussed, but have not reached an agreement as to,
settlement with the individual defendants, Jason Begley and Wayne Lunsford. The
parties and Mr. Gumport, however, have agreed to reconvene for a continued
mediation in early June 2012. The date for the continued mediation is being
finalized by the parties in consultation with Mr. Gumport

They will probably settle, their property turned over to a court-appointed receiver to deal with consumer claims, with a multimillion dollar fine hanging over them, suspended unless they were found to have failed to disclose all their assets, and claiming poverty.

Within months of being awarded the $10 million judgment against Global AG, I was able to identify Han, Phelps & Phillips as the owners of Global (as well as dozens of other fictitious LLC debt collection agencies operating in and around the infamous corona-scam area). As a result, I have recently filed an amendment to the original lawsuit that seeks to hold the owners, managers and other key past and present personnel personally liable for paying the $10 million judgment.
If the Nightline episode gets bumped, I will let you know.
They all need to be identified now!
Although, I did read on 800notes that you were having trouble collecting on the judgement.
I took a small time debt collector to court and won many years ago - it was small claims court. While the debt collector received service, he didn't show up to court and the mailing of the judgement summary came back as undeliverable - the dirtbag took off and left no forwarding address. I ended up selling the judgement to another debt collector but what I wanted to get at was the possibility of making this a contempt of court issue, much like debt collectors do when they receive a default judgement. Is there any possibility that you could go to court again, explain to the judge that the debt collector had not made good on the judgement and that you want to know where their assets are to satisfy the judgement? In short, could you receive a motion capias and throw the CFO of the agency into jail until you find out where they are hiding the assets necessary to satisfy your judgement or until you get court ordered automatic payments? Or is this the dumbest idea you've ever heard of?
