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.

    In regards to the above post. That rip Off report was filed by Lucy Cafiero, whom I did an investigation on after she stole money from a client, Julie Montante. Ms. Montante sued in Riverside Superior court, obtained a judgment, after which Ms. Cafiero immediately filed BK.  All aforesaid info is accessible on the Riverside Court website. I am assuming that I will be on the recieiving end of many more anonymous "rip off reports" before this action is completed as defendants herein seem to be much more tech and internet savy. Regardless, as stated by the previous poster, I believe all parties should rely on the facts, i.e. don't take my word as fact, don't take defendants in the FTC word as fact. Please do make an effort to review the civil complaint that has been filed and all the FTC docs. Further, any party, defendant and/or former employee that is concerned should seek advice of independent counsel to advise them of their rights and their exposure.  Finally, as stated previously, I am willing to forward a copy of the civil complaint and FTC docs to any party that asks. Please send your requests to diversifiedarb@aol.com.  I will be leaving the office at 1 pm today and returning at 4 pm, thus I may not immediately respond to email requests.

      Michael Peterson is a RIP OFF artist as well as Julie Montante.  The TRUTH, which both of them no nothing about, is that I was scammed into entering a business arrangement with Julie Montante, who claimed the IRS would not allow her to own any more businesses and she asked me to put my name on everything, even though, she was the owner and was trying to avoid paying taxes.  I NEVER RECEIVED A DIME FOR ALL THE WORK I DID FOR HER.  In fact, when I told her I needed to get paid, she told me I was crazy if I thought she was going to pay me!!!  I closed up the business since she wasn't paying anything for it.  I moved and went to work for a contractor in San Diego where several months later I was served with a bogus civil lawsuit stating she and her "lawyer" Micheal Peterson were suing me for money I had never seen.  Once I had spent over $90,000 in lawyer fees, traveling to depositions that were never scheduled from San Diego to Palm Desert, I fired my attorney and went Pro Per.  Once I went Pro Per, I never heard or saw from these criminals again.  In fact, I showed up for a hearing which neither of them showed up to and they were fined $250 each for a no show; the case was DISMISSED!!! There was NEVER A JUDGEMENT AGAINST ME.  This post doesn't surprise me since these [***] are lying thieves!!!  I filed a BK from the $90,000 in lawyers fees they rang up on me.   Stay away from these people.  Michael Peterson is a felon, spent 10 years in prison for armed robbery and burglary and studied the law.  Because he's a felon he can't be a lawyer but he is a paralegal who is a crook through and through.  Julie Montante runs a prostitution ring in the Palm Desert area.  If you run across these two, run as far away as possible.  And Michael, if you continue to drag my name into the mud, I will sue you for defamation of character!

        I forgot to add, that Julie and I were to have an agreement written up stating the facts of our "business" arrangement.  When that didn't happen, I knew I was in trouble.  I ignored all the warnings from my family and friends.  I kept a detailed, written journal of everything that happened.  Stay tuned for my new book!!!  I will be exposing their scam of not just me but many others who have gladly told me they will tell me their story regarding their encounters with Michael Petersen and Julie Montanta.  Julie knew I was suing a doctor for a misdiagnoses and the potential of a million dollar settlement.  When they heard I lost my case, they knew I had no money for them to steal.  Oh, and the document he has posted on the internet from his law firm he is a paralegal with, states "no show for 5/30/09"  for which they never showed up to court again,  I did to defend myself, but they were cowards.  And now the cowards will post slim on the internet to make themselves feel better.  Bottom line, Michael and Julie, you're cowards!!  I've gotten on with my life, I suggest you do the same.  Oh, and I will be investigating Judge Hopps, since he seems to be the one who presides over all your bogus lawsuits.

    And yet he is a licensed PI, which you can verify with the state of California.  That requires a background check, and rejects licensing for many reasons.  How exactly would that work, if supposedly one were convicted of "armed burglary"?  They have PI training in prison now, taught by a judge who will also expunge your record?

    The Corona shills have been spreading BS for months smearing anyone they can identify.  Deception and extortion is their favorite game, so fake posts and over the top threats come easy.  You can find their "handiwork" against Michael, against Julia Forte (owner of 800notes), and against Steve Rhodes (getoutofdebtguy), on scaminformer, and several other sites.  They also copy and reference their other posts, as "authority" on the "information" they have just found, just like the old KGB used to manage disinformatzia campaigns using cooperative foreign reporters.

    If you track their shill posts on the 800notes threads, you first find simple dumb shills, pretending they either are "glad they settled", or all whiney about "getting sued and garnished".  If that doesn't work, some shills post lots of "details", to lend credibility to their stories, even claiming they took the advice of the consumers complaining, and "got sued".

    But their most creative energies are reserved for anyone who would post personal knowledge of them.  Those they smear with accusations of criminality.

    Just like this.

      My lawyer did track him, we tried to get him on frivolous lawsuits, cause he has a long list of them, but he judge wouldn't allow it.  The judges are getting pimped by him.

    I checked hi also, he is legit.  So you dont know what your talking about.

    Pretty sad. you have to make up stories about process servers and their lawyers, you must have dirt sticking some where also.

    I hope they bring all of you jerks down, for what you have done to those people you screwed under.

    The owners and managers need a few years in jail.

    Lets forget everyone and read the proof!  The FTC would not file all this information with the court for the public to read, if it was not true.

    Forget the process servers and concentrate your selves on Wayne, Jason, their direct family members that worked in the  business and managers that screwed all of us and launder money!

    These people are buying bad debts and trying to collect on them.  They bought a debt that my husband and I had written off in a bankruptcy.  Dont know how they got it.  Called his mom and tried bullying her into paying it telling her that her son was going to prison.  They tried getting her debit card number, etc.

    I work for attorneys and as soon as I talked to them I knew they were scam artists.  If you pay on a debt that has been written off you re-activate it and they can collect the whole thing.  DO NOT PAY THEM A DIME.  Call the Attorney General in NY and let them know about how they are contacting you and threatening you.  NOT ALLOWED.  

    I got rid of them about a year ago, now they are calling my sister-in-law about the same debt.  Trying a new tactic.  I am calling the AG in New York on them and reporting them this time.  Good Luck"

    worse then I thought
    Unfucken Believable! I am in shock right now.
    I can't believe that they thought they would get away with this.
    This is some of the worse [***] I have ever read.
    Someone needs to call 60 minutes so they can do a story on this.
    These people were out of control.
