800-555-5160

we received a letter today stating 150.00 in fines is due , which is not, we have all receipts of all court costs have been paid.

when i called the number 1 800 555 5160  not professional at all , just hi this is Ashley how can i help you. no company greeting , nothing.

was sent supposedly from a city courthouse but return address is a bogus address as we looked it up. says no such address.

its bogus no doubt ,guess its time to contact the federal authorities.

I received a letter today stating that I owed the city of Moore $180, the problem is that I have never had any business in Moore.  I lived there over 11 years ago and I am sure I paid all the bills.  I am thinking it is bogus too.  Were you able to resolve this?

Received a letter from them today stating we owed $287.50 to the City of Muskogee. The only outstanding citations we had was in Tulsa and Okmulgee which was paid several months ago. The lady was very rude and insisted we send money even after explaining we had checked with the city already and they said there is no warrant.
Called the Courthouse, Sheriffs dept, and the local PD for Muskogee and all 3 said there is no warrant or outstanding tickets.
Googled the address given on the letter "11062 S Memorial Dr Tulsa, OK 74133" and came up with a strip mall that does not even house the "Warrant Enforcement Division" that is stated on the letter.

I would not send any money to them!

I received the same letter for 422.50 to Muskogee.  I tried to call the number 2 times and they just picked up and hung up.  I have no outstanding warrants either.  I checked.  My letter states the case is from 2005.  Why would I pay for a warrant issued in OK to a Warrant Enforcement Division address that is in TX?? I have a 11063 S Memorial Dr and a Carrollton TX address to mail payment to.

I just received a notice of a warrant out for my arrest and freaked smooth out. Of course its a Saturday and cant get ahold of anyone that can tell me the real story.  I have looked online and called my local police and it all tells me i have no warrants.  These stupid people dont even make it look real.  The website it says is very unprofessional it looks like a child did it. HOnestly if anyone sent money online to that website they would be stupid.  I didnt call the number because i didnt want them to have my phone number.

I got this B.S in the mail they tried to say I had a ticket from sept 2002. The lady didnt even greet me she said," this is Gloria". Then she tryed to give me my license # which was wrong. I asked how can I dispute the charges and she replied that it wouldn't be worth it I should just pay the 118.75. Then she asked for my C.C # I told her i'd call back. SCAM!!!

This is bogus, refer all mail to your local post office for prosecution and phone calls to the FBI.  Federal laws are being broken here.  Let's book em Danno!

I got the same letter address to my mother house on a old pre 911 address. They say I owe $2030 to the city of Iuka Ms and have out standing warrants for my arrest, I called the city and they have no record anything and of course no warrant.. Do not contact them just give the letter to the post office..

I just recieved a phone call from these people also. Now i did have an unpaid ticket in 08 and shamefully i was arrested :( Not proud of it. I did however, pay my $600 bail in fines and got my license back. I know got a call from these people saying i owe "$647 and there is a warrant" this is bogus..My neighbor, who is a retired police officer, was kind of leary about this number contacting me. He says it sounds suspicious. So I am calling the county clerk tomorrow to find out if this is legit. I mean if i do really owe something i want to know. Im a responsible citizen, except for the 08 ticket :(

I also received a Warrent enforcement notice which implied that I owed for a ticket from 1912, which I did hire an attorney and appeared in court in person although I live in Fort Worth, Texas and did at the time I received this ticket in 1992.  This cost me a lot of time and trubble which also left a vivid memory of the event in my mind.  I had an I whitness that this was managed with complete integrity.  
So I had my sister go to this court house to have record looked up.  The record does show that this was paid and managed as I have stated. This "Warrent enforcement", out of Carrolton, Tx is bogus.
This must be given to the police to handle.
This if froud!

These people repersenting this diserve to have harrasment charges. Based on this messaging I can tell this is a collecting co of some sort which is harrasing random people with a fear tactic.  Who would not be emotionally disturbed to think they would have to deal with some skeliton which was delt with "in my case 18 years ago".  Good luck with all the records being intact. this is a SCAM with harrasment stink all over it.
I was lucky to be able to verify that the County records did show that I did diligently manage this situation
which occured 18 years ago.  
We all need to complain to the police from this: 3724 Old Denton Rd  address. They need to be exposed! This is extortion, froud, harrassment and ipersonating law offecials.

Debt Collectors – Collection Agency's do NOT fall under Do NOT Call registry, as they are not telemarketers.  However, they do constantly violate other Federal Laws, because us American's don't know the laws to protect us.  They are counting on that.  

- Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that.   This includes Attorney's in state's other than your state of residence.  The only Attorney's that can sue you, have to be licensed in your resident state.

A word of caution:  Some Law Firms do have Firms in other states, and Lawyers licensed in other states, so you have to do a little research before sending a Cease & Desist (Do Not Call & Go Away letter) to make sure they aren't in your resident state or you're likely to get sued by these #%#&*@!#%&@$^*.  

Once a debt collector makes contact with you, they also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt.  You are not required to ask for it.   They never do this!!!!

This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act.  You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.

Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar.  Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!!  You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency.  Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.

Do NOT agree to any payment arrangements, or you'll be creating an agreement/contract, where upon initial contact by the Debt Collector, one didn't exist.  The collection agencies are counting on you not knowing this little bit of information.  

The best advice I can give you is, do NOT talk to these idiots - they will leave you in a frustrated heap on the floor.  They lie, and will tell you whatever they need, in order to get you to commit to paying them.

The lies are illegal, but they honestly don't care, they're probably on commission for how much they collect from you and others like you.  

If you do answer the phone, do NOT give out your employer, social security #, DL #, Credit Card and/or Bank information, or any personal information.  Tell them to send you a written statement & you'll respond. Then hang up.  When you get that statement, google, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you'll probably find a letter you can send them   Or:  send the letter I’ve enclosed that I use.  Sign and mail that letter Certified Mail, so you have a signature and confirmation of delivery!!!

In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties.  Google Law of Novation and read up!!!

No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer.  I have spent the past 2 years studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws.  

I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away.  I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law;  I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.

Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining/highlighting them.  Not to mention the knowledge I have gained on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.

I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations.  Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.

I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence.  I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time.  And our Judge's let them get away with it.

And for those of you who say pay up and quit being a deadbeat; it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4.  

And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job.  And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by.  And when that happens, then what?  

Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad.  Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.

What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with?  We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do.  I hope someday, something throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.

Oh, we've struggled.  And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced.  We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations.  I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least.  My husband started his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.

People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation.  Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!  

Again I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences.  There are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your circumstances.  I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am again just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help.  If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.

Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.

If anyone should need help with Lawsuits regarding Collection Agencies/Debt Collectors and/or Credit Cards; I may be able to help you.  Please contact me at tlcpetmommy@gmail.com.

I have no idea what this call was about other than to indicate it was 'law enforcment'.  Law Enforcement for who? and for what?  I never heard of a town called McAllistar which was referenced in the call.

The return address is a mailing center address. Y'all are [***].

If so many of y'all know where this place is why are y'all just talkin about it. Do something, they are legit they are a third party that is contracted with city courts. There is no statute of limitation on tickets. So it's not harassment, it's their job.

They don't like trying to get money off of a ticket that is 15 years old. Think about what their job is like before you go off telling them that they are horrible people.

Oh, and I think it's quite amusing that when you google the 1-800 number. The first thing that pops up is Hurst Municiple Court. Yup they're a scam alright. Y'all are dumb and just don't wanna pay old tickets that you know you owe.

Hey tard, ('Ummm yeahh') I got one of these messages and never have received a ticket in TX so shut the [***] up and learn how to write without using "Y'all" all the time. Hell you probably work for the [***] you seem stupid enough.

They are NOT a 3rd party contracted w/ the city courts. Have you READ the other posts??? Some  people have never even been to the areas they are getting these letters from, I, being one of them. It's called SCAM. Why are you even reading this forum if you are not a person receiving these letters? I'm w/ Craig-you must be an employee of this bogus company. Yes, there are people who are not savvy with law, uneducated, easily intimidated, or whatever the case may be, who will, in good faith, send money. Then there are others like myself who recognize an illigitimate claim when they see one. Once more, I ask, WHY are you on this forum if you have not been an attempted victim of this fraud?

As for defending people in this sort of job market...I would eat road kill before I ever worked as a collection agent or scam artist. I would never prey on those who have encountered hard times. Yes, there are those who use credit w/ no intention of ever paying off their debt, but that is not the norm. I would venture to guess your credit score is not stellar. Anyone with time to post things such as this which apparently does not even apply to you have far too much time on their hands. As for me, I have been a gainfully employed person for all of my adult life with very little spare time to waste on such things as this. I would not be here had I not received several of these bogus letters trying to take advantage of the ignorance I do not possess.

I challenge you to explain your presence on this forum.

Hey Moron,
Use your spell check. It is MUNICIPAL...not MUNICIPLE.
