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.

None of aforesaid judgments are dischargeable. Judgments can be verified at Riverside County Superior Court website, case no. RIC 1117805. Within the next 3 weeks, final judgments will be entered against Jose M. Manjarrez, Cutter F. Halleman, Jason P. Hawthorne and Robert Tyler Hangen. After that, Summary Judgment will be sought against remaining defendants Wendy Marquez, Denise Deakins, Tina Coca, Michael O'Keefe, Barbara O'Neill, Tina Coca, Josh Starbuck, Jason Begley and Wayne Lunsford.
There are 11 remaining individual defendants, who presumably will play "ostrich" until the trial is over. BTW, a truck in the driveway of one of the defendants had the license plate "PAYFILE". Anyone know what that means? New business?

Why would he call and threaten you, rather than just do it?
Only reason is it's all made up.
Notice how much "work" he did to come up with your employer and county, all so he could use it to con you, when none of that has anything to do with a legitimate debt collector collecting a legitimate debt.
It's actually one characteristic of these shakedown cons, as they have to weave something of your "identity" into the script, since they lack any real information on any real "debt".
Working at it is an indicator of lying and deception.
And yes, there's a reason you got no letter.
It's a scam, and the scammers NEVER send letters.
They just make threats by phone, and have to hide to avoid lawsuits and prosecution.
Snakes got to be careful, or the hawks getem.
File a complaint with FTC and the FBI, reporting any details, particularly phone numbers.
