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.

"Since April 2008, the FTC and the Better Business Bureau have received a combined 270 statements about Rincon and the other companies, from people all around the country."
"The FTC is now going through the companies' records, preparing a second, more detailed brief to be filed on November 1. The companies will then have a chance to file an opposition brief, and perhaps defend their actions, on November 3."
That's not what they stated in the Washington Post. And, I know that's not true. You're going to have to try a little harder...
C M Association Group 866-647-1620 they also go by CMAG, any connection here, it looks like they are all over the internet, same scam about the process server.

I get many calls from this number/spammer.
It's an automated message from some place claiming to be "Progressive Management" looking for someone I never met or heard of. They claim to be "collecting a debt" and would like you to respond to their "offer" (which is an oxmoron or a contradiction at the least)... they also give you an option to "opt out"... all of that means it is a SCAM.
