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.

      You have to understand we are dealing with debt collectors. Obviously the people who chose this line of work are not the brightest people. Expecting them to be able to read or write a literate sentence is just to much to expect. More often then not these scum buckets do not pay much attention to detail. Instant gratification is what makes these [***] clowns wake up in the morning. Learning to read and write is not exactly a priority for a debt collector.

          Well, that's news to me. So tell me, ye wondrous, completely innocent, law abiding debt collector or non-deadbeat citizen that defends scammers for no apparent reason; what are we educated wussies permitted to do under your watch? I'm sure you'd like us to shut up and just make it easy for you to collect an easy payday, but that's not gonna happen.

    I received a message from them at my home and at my mother-in-law's home asking for me about a legal matter.  The message on my answering machine indicated that she had papers to serve me in 2 days.  Left a claim #.  I called the number left 855-294-0886 and the man stated it was the Civil Claims Bureau and the person who called me was the courier and he would see if my "hard copy" was still in the office.  Wanted  me to identify myself with SS# and other personal information.  I told him the claim number should be enough and I wanted to know who the claim was filed by.  I also told him I had googled this number and it came up with multiple message boards about this exact situation and that it was all bogus.  His reponse was "if you believe everything you read on the Internet, then you would believe you had aliens living next door to you".  He told him to just go ahead and serve me with whatever he had because I'd love to see them.  I find it interesting that I got the same exact phone call about six months ago saying the same thing and then was miraculously never served with anything.  This is why I find them completely incredible.

      Complaints start Jan. 24, 2012

      https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-855-294-0886
      "Civil Claims Bureau"
      "claims to be lawers"
      "Candice Lee"
      "Jeffrey Douglas"
      "Shavon Johnson "
      "mr Sullivan"
      "mr Hamilton"
      " Candace Lee "
      "Mike Gervias "


      "Azdartman
      24 Jan 2012
      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.

              Crooks? Sounds like they were screwed by crooks... I think they probably started this co with hopes of honorable people to come work for them but as I hear on here that its was the lack of some managers doing their job and keeping things under control. Its sad that the owners names are out there like this when I think that each individual should be responsible for their own actions...

                Yes like you say Im sure the owners are honorable upstanding men and innocent bystanders and its sad their being tarnished like this.  So sad since they just wanted to earn a living to support their families.  Its all those managers faults.  And all those other lawsuits they have filed against them are just blood sucker lawyers filing cases for debt beat debtors who more then likely deservd all the abuse they got by these  honorable people that came to work for them.

      I do not know about 60-90 days but that may very well be the case.And the reason being, is from hiring left overs from Lundsford and now Han's.
      Yes I was given information that too much noise was made in April with a broker they bought debt from so it is very likely to happen in the next 6 months.
