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.

    Ashley Reed from St. Amant & Associates called me up threatening me they'll take me to court. Do not let these guys bully you. Do not tell them any information over the phone. They will threaten bloated court fees as a tactic. Ignore them.

    Report these guys.

    Where is Michael now??
    Its true Scott Harlow lost his rights in California to practice law for a year. Don't understand why Michael Peterson has not responded to people wondering about the civil case? I don't think anyone involved in that has to worry it must be done! No Attorney, no Michael, no case!!

    This is so funny, they took you all for millions and you thought this guy Michael was gonna get them and get your money back! The FTC took all of your money and gave it to their people that actually took over the accounts! If you want your money try asking Richard Wiseman and his office! It was just another scam that was played by the FTC. They put such a negative spin on the case that in the end gave them the upper hand and allowed them to not only drain that company but also drained all the so called victims funds that should have gone back to them! Lets face facts that no one can deny! 1. All that debt could not have possibly been ALL fake! 2. The owners and offices made millions (last month or two at least 2-2.2 million/month). 3 Offices were open for 2 1/2 years before being shut down. 4. The owners had another 800 million in portfolios and un collected debt. 5. The FTC has not released any funds to the victims as of 9/5/12, just shy of a year since they were shut down. 6. The FTC has released funds to the owners to support their families after taking control of their millions. 7. Michael Peterson has been very unreliable and unprofessional. 8. No one has seen even a second of jail time through out this whole process. 9. You will never see a penny of any money and not a piece of justice. 10. You were played by your own team.

          | 2 replies
          Scott N Harlow is an attorney in Palm Springs, CA practicing in Real Estate, Trusts, Wills & Probate. He was the attorney that Michael Peterson was working under. The attorney in charge of the civil case that more than likely will be dismissed due his dishonesty and the fake threats Michael Peterson was making.

      the feds went after Stephens and Brylaw for contempt for failing to turn over documents on where the B&L assets were squirreled away.

      Anyone know what the result was?
