Complaint

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.

    Sorry for the delay in posting the following info as promised, but I and my staff just got back to the office after filing and serving the complaint today.

    The case number for the complaint is RIC 117805, filed in Riverside County Superior Court, Riverside, California. The problem is the complaint is 100 pages long counting the attached exhibits, thus purchasing it through the court's website will be insanley expensive. Still, it is now technically a public record document, thus I will attempt to scan the document into an accesible site. Are there any suggestions as to where?

    Previously a poster had offered photos of some of the Defendants listed herein above for purposes of assisting in identification during service of process.  I would appreciate those photos if possible.  I do not need photos of Stephanie Porchia, Cutter Halleman, John Cook, John Westholder, Tina Westholder, Jason Begley, Wayne Lunsford, Tina Coca or Timothy Harding-either I have these individuals photos or they have already been served today. The remaining defendants still have yet to be served, and I anticipate that the individuals served today are at this very moment notifying everybody to be served, thus it will make it more difficult for us.  

    Please forward the info to diversifiedarb@aol.com.  Further, any named defendant as listed on the civil litigation that wishes to avoid the inconveniece and/or embarassment of service in public or at home can email me and can pick up their copy of the summons and complaint directly from the law office.

    Thank you all for your assistance.  For those of you who were victimized, I do beleive that there will be justice in the end for all, through both the instant civil litigation and the FTC action.

    That site...
    Is just 3 lines. Have they taken it down like all the FB's?

    I think they were just beginning to construct them.
    Basically, just placeholders.

    They weren't yet using the associated phone numbers, so they would have no reason to think anyone would be looking at their uncompleted sites.

    It appears the sites and listings only existed to create the appearance that a company exists, and is "a collection agency" (or in this case, a "law firm").

    They weren't designed to be read by anyone but consumers trying to find out who they were, probably searching with Google on the name or phone number.  Those would be ones they had already called and threatened. They certainly weren't designed to attract creditor clients.

    The other "filing services" sites just had common boiler plate "generic consumer debt advice", with the names and phone numbers changed to match the "company".

    Did you get sad?
    Don't be sad. Sure, all of you are broke, but you were all broke before you got this scam job so welcome back to the bottom of the heap. Except now, all the people who were named in this will have a hell of a time finding employment. Thanks to you, there are now talks of rewriting the laws to remove the kind of "grey areas" you thieves exploit to steal from people. So maybe, just maybe, some good will come from all of this. Thanks!

    Just an update on my previous posting. I gave the wrong case number (left out a number).  The Riverside Superior Court case no. is RIC 1117805. Sorry for the earlier typo.

    RIC in the first field,

    1117805 in the second.

    Not quite PACER but it gives the names of who should be a little scared now...

    Ex employee
    This is what sucks, I was an employee for this company for three months before it shut down. What sucks is from the very beginning, they told all us lower level employees this was all legal and what we were doing was a legit collection practice.  They even told us they did sue people and that our scripts and everything were approved by the ftc and stuff like that. im pissed off they lied to all us low level employees.

    Defendant mispelled
    FYI:  I noticed on facebook the other day that one of your defendants - Todd Loop - spells his name Lupe.

    Hope this helps.

    Sadness too late
    I don't feel sorry for you....at a basic gut-level what was being said and done was WRONG.  I don't care how many times they told you it was legal....morally you had to know it was wrong.  

    Hope you can live with that.

    wow have any of the bashers on here thought about the fact that some of the postings that you are putting up could warrant a civil action against yourself? the personal bashings, picture request, personal info request, threats. The people on this site are acting no better than the people you are after. remember to those who are being persued, print these pages for future ref. ....you may need it.

    Tj.... You have nothing better to do than sit on a complaint board giving out fraudulent information? I'm sure you do not get paid to do so. You repeat yourself over and over and over like an idiot... Obviously most of these people have a learning impairment. The print below says not to give out false information.. You OBVIOUSLY have a missing bolt in your brain. Just saying, why don't you get a job to occupy your time and releasing people's  information and address'. It's a safety issue.. You have so much "information" then you must've been associated with the company. With that being said, wouldn't that make you "SCUM OF THE EARTH" just as you're calling everyone associated with the company.. How ironic ! you are a little boy it's time to grow up sweetheart.
