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.

Sub service on Victor Hugo Marquez and Samuel Alexis Marquez was just completed but additional info on these individuals would also be appreciated. I see alot of discussion here, but unfortunately all the venting does not help bring these people to justice nor has the FTC action even named thses individuals. Please help me so that our lawsuit can hopefully put a stop to many of the "Corona cluster" illegal collection operations. Thank you in advance for any help tht may be provided. Information can be posted here or sent to my private email at diversifiedarb@aol.com.
I know for a fact GBR was sued for their illegal tactics, and Orca will be too if they keep it up. I heard of a law firm in the
LA area (The Consumer Law Center) that can help you no matter what state you are in. Do not give these schisters any money,
bank info etc, and record them if you can. They cannot send a "server" with papers. Also get their address and send them
a return receipt letter, demanding they cease ALL contact with you. Hopefully I have made some sense. Orca, I know someone from there reads these post, I would watch my back carefully...be very aware....108 Business Center Drive ain't that far.
I also know that her other company - CMA - extracted a million bucks from victims in less than a year in 2011.
And yes.... 108 Business Center Drive Suite A in Corona is the correct address.
And as to the poster "LEAVE HER ALONE". Your analogy about homeless panhandlers and window washers doesn't fly because those folks don't make money illegally and immorally like Pam and her minions do by holding a proverbial gun to peoples' heads while making baseless threats about bogus debts, lawsuits and process servers.
Pam - and others like her - deserve EVERYTHING she gets.
Also, others, record your phone calls from these crooks...
As dishonesty was at the root of the last recession, it's not likely that more dishonesty will do anything but delay the recovery.
If this "industry" self-implodes, somehow the world will go on.
Grow some balls and stop playing in the play ground with the big kids, when your a infant still sucking the tit. Worry about the collection agency you work for keeping there doors open. And stop trying to put your competition out of business. If we could just get rid of you want to be collectors maybe this industry could move past the [***].
Why don;t you leave this open for consumers to complain?
basic English....thanks.
Let me ask you what "kind" of person uses the phrase a$$ clown?
I'm not sensing you do much but perhaps troll the local gay bars on the dl.
P.S. - The digs you make at gays just make you look like a latent homosexual yourself.
It's part of the shakedown game.
Abuse and deception are two sides of the same coin.

They claim my friend owes money and i have to pay it for them "
"talked to Shavon Johnson and she asked if I knew what type of company they were and I stated a dept collection co and she said no. "
"He also advised that I was on his "schedule" to come to my work or residence to serve me papers"
"I do find this very odd and believe that this is a scam since I do not owe any money to debt collectors....."
"I also called them and would not give company name."
"I received a call from a Mike Gervais who said he worked for a place called Vision One. He wanted to come out and serve me papers."
"I called the number back spoke to some lady who said my sister use me as a co-signer 3 years ago and I needed to report to court. "
"She was calling on something I paid off over 4 years ago!!!! She kept saying the papers show I owe 15 times more that what I paid!!.....she put me on hold claiming to talk to some attorneys and came by wanting to make a deal less that half of what she originally quoted me!! "
"he replied from a check loan that I got 5 years ago. I had thout this was taken care of years ago. I asked him to tell me the exact amount that I borrowed and he wouldn't."
Deception includes implying or pretending to be "attorneys".
One shill post shows up.
Note numerous attempts to collect when clearly no debt is owed, using unproven "cosigning" claims, etc. They are adapting their pitch to match the victim, implying a con, not debt collection of real owed debt.
Several reports of attempting to collect on trumped up old paid payday loans. May have just conned the consumer into thinking an old loan was being collected on, or may indicate access to credit reports.
May also indicate they are buying old payday loan debt information out the back door of some other debt collector, and working the really old junk, including paid and settled "debt".
Report of calling when the alleged debt was supposedly owed by a friend may indicate use of skip-tracing. They could also just be browsing social networking sites.
No address reported by anyone. Never any validation, use of talk-offs when people ask for proof, implies they have nothing, and couldn't get it if they tried. They are making this up.
Complaint start date of Jan. 2012 is consistent with a Corona Scam or CMAG spin-off.
No location, but style of con, and aliases, sound like "Buffalo" area.
Does not appear to have the usual Corona-style separation between callers and closers.
May be just a small number of people, which would be consistent with no "portfolio", and no need to employ and totally fake "debt".
Nothing at all shows up in BBB under "Civil Claims Bureau" or "855-294-0886".
There is a debt collector called "Vision Financial", but their complaints differ from these "shakedown" reports.
Vision One may be their telecom. They may have failed to change their caller id, and had to talk their way out of what it showed.
You might contact Vision One, and ask them if the number is one of theirs.
