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.

    If I owned this site...
    I would be looking really hard into that. Cyber-terrorism is no joke.

    Unbelievable
    Especially since Wayne and all the managers are having everyone contact Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Ken Calvert in attempts to try and rush the date sooner. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising.

    Like the South Park with Homeless people
    So, soon these guys will get behind on car notes, mortgages and credit cards, ruin their credit, and then the next generation of Shady debt collectors can call these guy's POE's and family's....

    A recent complaint against "Portfolio Investment Financial" and "Union Filing Services", reportedly using the mail drop "1191 magnolia ave ste d-396 corona, ca 92879" was reported on Oct. 17 (after the TRO).

    Google "1191 magnolia ave ste d-396 corona"
    and you get that "Suite D" is a UPS Store,
    http://www.quickr.org/1191_magnolia_ave_ste_d_396_corona_ca_92879

    and that "Box 396" is used by:
    "National Filing Service" and "Pacific Management and Recovery LLC"

    Shown as address for Pacific Management Recovery in BBB report.

    "Union Management Services, LLC" is specifically named as a defendant in the TRO, which also refers to "Union Management Services, LLC also d/b/a Union Filing Services".

    Complaints linked to Union Filing Services.

    Note the report of calling as the "county Sheriffs department" and spoofing caller ID to appear to be that.

    But why is it that..
    The receiver is continuing to run payments? Why not stop it now so that more people do not lose money?

    Yes because all Senators love hearing from non-voting non-constituents under investigation for fraud. Wow. What a joke.

    Yeah then
    they get harassed and get mad and find this site to complain and help shut down Debt Collection: The Next Generation.
    It's the circle of sh*t.

    They were ALREADY behind
    When you're used to clearing $80 a shift at McDonalds you don't know how to act once you start making REAL money. Hence the panic when they learned that they would not be getting paid on time. People with real careers having savings accounts, stocks, and other assets that they can tap into when cash reserves get low. Just another peril of giving ex-convicts, high school drop outs and the otherwise 'unemployable' access to a big payday. They were too stupid to see that it couldn't last forever.

    What exactly is this "Debt Database"?

    Were they buying promotional credit marketing lists from the CRAs?
    If so, which CRAs, and what business entity purchased them?

    That is harder to do without bank accounts, unless you get your targets to use Western Union, or get Walmart debit cards like the Indians demand.

    They ARE
    As hard as it is to believe, payments that were scheduled to be ran are continuing.

    Sounds like instead of merely blocking their numbers they are now Spoofing them to come up as Sheriffs...

    Wow, it's like they just don't learn...
