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.

    Do you actually have a job?? Just wondering because youve been on message boards for years. If you don't have one, please get one. Everyone's tired of your repeated counciling articles. It's like a cd player playing the same song over and over. Your getting no where. The same crap is going on now then it was when you first started voicing your opinion years ago. Your research gets no where. You educating peope gets no where. I laugh because it's the same crap coming from you and it hadn't changed anything. You might want to focus on another hObby. Or be useful and get a job!

      The same crap is going on, replies to TJ??
      but they have to scatter to new burrows more often.

      It's really a classic anti-guerilla warfare tactic, which is appropriate because the collection rackets are deliberately set up as asymetrical game players.  As fully legitimate and responsible businesses, they wouldn't stand a chance.  Repeated attention and disruption is destabilizing.  They have to actually try out their LLC covers, see if they hold up to litigation, keep making new ones, rather than only relying on them theoretically.  They churn more people, and churn bank accounts.  It causes people to make mistakes, like exposing the aspects of common MO and common control, or failing to defend themselves from lawsuits by trying to cut and "disappear".

      tj replies to TJ??
      I would have thought you might object when I claimed the intended target of the shakedowns was non-debtors.  Perhaps you take that for granted.

      Have a job.... replies to TJ??
      ...this may come as a shock to you but many of your victims hold meaningful jobs in the "real" world yet because they were so affected by your actions, they regularly check these boards to keep up with the latest legal action taken against you and others like you involved in what many consider to be the under belly of the debt collection industry.

    I need a little help. The remaining people need to be served on our action. We have filed a motion to intervene on the FTC action and will also be seeking leave to pursue the individuals not named in the FTC action.  I need current addresses and/or place of employment for the following individuals:

    Sarah L. Bartsch
    Arthur Castillo
    Patricia R. Ccolvard
    Cutter F. Halleman
    Tohso A. Hendlin
    Steve R. Nelson
    Tuan Trac

    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.

    Not Me Again
    | 5 replies
    I believe Orca Portfolio Management to be the old Global Bureau of Recovery, or in the very least bought their accounts.
    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.

      Yes, Global Bureau of Recovery became Orca after Pam Mathews merged with Anne Nelson, and yes they "sold" there accounts from one to another, and yes there at 108 business center drive, and yes, Pam is a fat toothless tweeker who throws blame and lawsuits on previous employers, toll roads, and her stupid son who uses a Jewish alias cause he thinks it makes him sound like an attorney, but LEAVE HER ALONE!!!! do you guys f*ck with the homeless guy with dirty greasy dreadlocks panhandling on the freeway offramp?  do you f*ck with the guy that trys to clean your windows at street intersections?  NO?  then leave her alone!  she's just a pitiful individual with a pitiful future.  would you rather she applied for welfare and soaked up the free money?  she has no skillls other than shopping and tweeking.  hows a girl to survive????

        PB Recoveries? replies to LEAVE HER ALONE
        How's the business doing that Pam started in Anaheim with a grand opening on April 1, 2011?  PB Recoveries?

        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.

      GBR was not sued but I can see someone has a hard on here. This site has became a war between collection company's nothing else.  It is sad that people in there own industry are so stupid that they attack there competition by lying and making up things.  Instead of destroying the industry why not stay positive and try to take care of your own problems and stop making problems for others.  Try going to church and asking .God to forgive you for all your lies and the people you continue to try and hurt.   .

        Don't dignify them.. replies to Prove it
        Phone shakedowns aren't an "industry", just a racket.

        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.

    Fyi: the Brindle and Stone Associates scam! is running healthy they called me today leaving threats about my properties and how they will serve me papers if i dont' respond within 4 hours to make a decision. Blah, Blah, Blah ya know, anyway their new Scam number is 214-810-3778 and they are also calling the company "Paul Phelps". So in my anger and frustration i figured i would play a little game with them, i decided to make private calls to them all day long and a matter of a fact i will continue to make them all week long; as different people just to harass them back, lol... Kinda funny when they get annoyed, i love playing this game... I got the guy so pissed off he started yelling and asking for my real name, hahahah, i was laughing all the way to my car. I plan to make another call sometime next week and ask if they want to meet somewhere local in Dallas Texas so i can pay off this debt, i will laugh if they agree to meet and i am nowhere near or in the state of Texas of where i plan to send them... Ha, lol, [***]! Gotta love giving them their own medicine....

      What idiot keeps throwing names out there from left field.  Sounds like you have a problem with Pam Mathews.  I don't think it is right that you put her cell phone number on this post,  

      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?
