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.

    Don't feel sorry
    There is absolutely NO WAY whatsoever the employees DIDN'T know what was going on.

    Don't feel one bit sorry for ANY of them.

    Employees and applicants have been reporting they knew what was up the day they applied, or within a couple days.  See comments by "EJ" posted various places.

    Most of the employees partied together with the principals and their relatives; they knew what was going on.  Scum....scum....that's all they are.

    There also is reported to be a "John Cook", with apparent connections to various other Cooks in the area.

    Assuming the Corona Scam assets have either been snorted up people's noses, or get blown away by the FTC lawsuit, what deep-pocket liability do the CRAs have?  Is "I'm just an idiot" or refusing to see, an adequate defense?

    A job for mrs. begley?
    People like the Begleys and Lunsfords are what is really ruining our nation.
    They have no work ethic and are not highly educated.
    The only thing that gets these people up in the morning is pure greed.
    I think their motto is "another day another sucker to scam"
    They feel they have no option but to scam and steal because they have
    no clue on how to make their money honestly.
    Thinking short term like they have isn't going to benefit them in the long run.
    They are all going to wind up in jail and that makes me happy.
    MAYBE SHONTLEL MIGHT HAVE TO GET A JOB!!!!!!

    not feeling bad for scammers
    Are you kidding me? Everyone that works there knows it is a scam.
    I don't feel sorry for any of them.
    It's a free country and if that's the job they have decided on to support
    there family then so be it.
    You reap what you sow.
    Feel bad for the victims not the predators.

    Idiots
    You'll find half dozen of them with public facebook profiles.  "Senior Closers" for HHSMB - Heavy Hitters Spiff Money Business.  Spiff money is what they called any extra money they could scam off victims over and above the big man's take.

    Chris Begley - Jason's brother - isn't even cryptic - his profile says he works at Heavy Hitters.

    Vanessa & Jonny Deese (Jason's brother/sister in law) work at HHSMB and their profile has photos of coworkers at "PMR" with comments like "I remember those fun days too, especially the Steve Nelson closes.....hahaha, made me laughed till I cried".  

    Joshua & April Martensen - friends of Vanessa & Jonny - April's profile says she works for PRM Krew and Prime West Management.  Josh says he works at HHSMB.

    The biggest crock is that so many of them talk about church and God.  How they reconciled their behavior with God, one can only imagine.  

    Here's apparent ex-employee Tina West posting this past Saturday:  

    To all HHSMB FAMILY:
    Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
    We all pray and stand in agreement-have faith to believe without evidence-then we step out of the way and let God take the wheel! In Jesus Name we pray for God to go before the battle-we claim the Victory!

    I hope to heavens God does take the wheel and all of them get the justice they deserve - both from God and the Courts.

    Reading all these posts I think how sad it is that it has come down to personally trying to ruin reputations. Most of these posts seem to be from other bill collectors that have either worked or currently work for this company. At a time of uncertainty you all show us that when the chips are down you are the types that will bail and personally attack those that have worked for and fed your families in the past. It amazes me that you would put someone's cell number, their photos, links to their personal information all over the internet. It concerns me even more that you would make threats to other people and their lives their reputations and above all their families!

    Here it is...it's very simple...we are all human, we are all in this boat together, the people who run the shops the people who work at the shops they are plagued with uncertainty...no matter your overhead...or how much you make...when something happens like this to this scale...we are all in the same boat.

    If you work in collections or have worked in collections, you know that this is a job of rejections...of hard livings...of pushing hard and walking a very gray line...this is a tough enough job without us turning to attacking each other...I am sure when all was good you didn't have anything negative to say...remember no matter what the situation is this too shall pass...stick together and stop being out and out nasty! Stop and think everyone at this company, including owners and managers are in the same horrible situation! So be nice to each other and wait out the storm together and it will pass, or you can continue to beat each other up and at some point (collections is small enough) you will be in the same office with these same people, and how will you feel sitting next to a person you once tried to sabotage?

    getting closer to the truth
    Thank you so much for exposing these people. When I checked one of their fb I saw we had mutual friends. That's scary. These are the same people scamming me. Please help us shut them all down. You would be doing such a great thing the public.

    That is consistent with reports from an ex-employee that one of the managers was regarded as some sort of cult leader.  It is also consistent with Bud Hibb's reports on the old "Shekinah" culture.  

    The "true believer" shills coming around here from time to time were really rather pathetic, asking if there wasn't some way this could be all legal.

    Any connection?

    It would not be surprising if a lot of what comes out now is from the many people who worked for this outfit, or related ones in Corona.
     
    Save it.

    This group has consumer complaints of playing "D.A." and "Deputy Sheriff", and of extorting old ladies.  They stopped being legitimate "debt collectors" long ago.

    Here is their FTC lawsuit:
