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.

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".

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?
