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.

There are some youtube posts of John Cook giving his "motivational pep talks", sounds just like a sermon. If you want to sell a deception, it helps to believe it yourself.
Thai, Jim, & Stewart... they started a company, it grew real fast. they expanded, (who wouldn't!), they put their trust in managers, it kept growing... there were some bad eggs, (money breeds that), a few disreputable people used unethical tactics to make money in any trade or industry. If there weren't, there wouldnt be much use for a site like complaintwire.com. It would be reduced to blogging about consumer concerns like pot holes, street closures, and poor restaurant service.
Yes, Lundsford got his start with a company under the ACMG umbrella.
Mathews ran offices for ACMG, went from hero to zero, and left blaming upper management.
Mathews helped start CMAG with her partners, went from hero to zero, pulled the plug and left blaming her partners.
Mathews starts OPM, (Orca Portfolio Management) with Anne Nelson in the same office space, with the same employees, as with CMAG. Nelson brings her crew from a previous office to merge with Mathews existing crew. (waiting to see who will be the next target for Mathews and what excuse she'll use for failure).
Ms Mey... first and foremost... the WRONG person, in the RIGHT place, at the RIGHT time. There is NO excuse for the threats and language used in the collection/intimidation tactics implemented towards her.
That being said, the sound bites used on the news were both highly prejudicial AND highly cropped. You don't hear Ms Mey as she egged the collector on, in a pseudo-provocative manner and bringing to mind police stings and entrapment. The ploy of naming the rank and file employees, regardless of whether or not they were ever implicated in any way in the tactics alledged in the suit is CLEARLY an attempt at generating fear to get to Thai, Jim, and Stewart. This is further demonstrated by her request for anyone that has or hasn't been served to contact her attorney.
Now then... that was fun. So I'll leave you to each other. You all seem to deserve nothing more...
That was a lot.And fairly accurate.I am not sure why we must all turn into cannibals but like you ended your post you will " leave us to each other".You know we must all take a step back and do some spring cleaning.Connected to Pam or Jim and Thai and Stewart or not.This is should serve as a wake up call !
Closer attention has to be paid to who runs these offices because if they are not running it as if it were there own then these kind of slim balls end up causing serious issues for everyone.

Yeah, *that* old song and dance...anything that goes against what the crooks rely upon has to be wrong. It's knowns as 'solipsism', or, if you don't have a dictionary to look up the word, try on 'reality distortion field' for size. It's close enough.
Smell that, folks? That smell? It's the smell of desparation.
Banks generally deserve the defaults they get, even more so in the last few years. They thought they could all make a fortune in fees, on inflated rate mortgages to people who couldn't afford them when the rates reset, but who cares? The loans were already sold off, to the Chinese, or the Europeans, or some other sucker. How's that working out?
Buying and selling debt may be part of commerce, but this junk debt is hardly "vital to the economy".
It has, however become a nuisance to the rest of us.

Looks like these crooks haven't learned their lesson.
There has evolved an infrastructure of companies brokering really old debt, that is in reality being used to extort people who don't even owe it, hiding behind the fly-by-nite "process server" shakedown rackets. The CRAs aid and abet them, pretending they "don't know" and it's not their problem, as do the skip-trace services like Accurint, without which none of these scum could locate your ex-wife's father's daughter-in-law to harass her about "serving papers".
If the debt was collected in compliance with the law, it would be unprofitable, even if bought for nothing. Validation as required by law costs money. That it is being traded at above zero, for more than legitimate collectors could justify paying, is the proof that it is actually being bought with the intent to collect by deceptive shakedowns. The buyers know this, as do the brokers who sell to them, even as they piously harp on how "important to the economy" it is to collect these "debts", long written off by the original creditor. Their targets are deliberately not limited to the actual debtors, however, as the "process server" scripts are designed to collect even when people don't owe anything. The profitable targets, the intended targets, are actually non-debtors, with the "debts" mere props for this shakedown. The reason is obvious. That's where the money is.
re: "I NEVER BRAKE THE LAW OR YELL AND THOSE THAT DO ARE SCUM!!!!!"
But, the real question is, do you brake for lizards and other small reptiles?
