855-670-8405

They called me and said that they were preparing an intent. Intent to what? I tried to find out about the number that they left, 855-670-8405,but there is no such number. They said that the company was I M and R Inc. Ever heard of them?

I got the same call too

i think this is a bill collector. got a call from them around April 2011, claiming they'd filed a case. i happen to work in legal field - tried to search local courts and could not find anything, and number they gave did not fit format of case numbers. then waited to be served, which is really the normal process if a case has been initiated. never heard back, never got served. today, sept 2nd, got another call. i suspect this is a new scare tactic and they're trying to collect on something waaaaay past statute of limitation.

Called and told my mother they were calling from the county courthouse. Told her if I didn't call them by 7:00 p.m. today I would be arrested. The Company name is IM & R their address is 29105 64th Avenue, Suite 200, Mountlake, WA 98043. Spoke to "an attorney" named Mr. Jack Bailey. When I told him he had broken the law by threatening to have me arrested he said, "You don't know what you're talking about, you have no rights." I told him I didn't owe any money and that I wouldn't deal with him or his scam company. I would only deal with the company who allegedly said I owe them money. He told me I couldn't deal with them. I told him he needed to go back to his mail order law school and demand a refund because he certainly didn't know the law. I told him to stop calling my family members and harassing them and to be watching for a cease and desist letter next week. Big scam!

They called my family too - my parents came home from vacation to that on their answering machine!  I knew at once it had to be a scam.  Bet they'd say that if I sent $2500 or something then I'd be cleared.  Morons.

Received call while on break and they told me that they were filing a Notice of Intent on a VISA and I never owned a VISA! They gave me the case number too and threatened me and told me that I wasn't cooperating.  They said because I had medical reason that they would "discount" and all I had to do was pay them $500 and they would settle.  Otherwise, they said they would ruin my credit, seek a judgment and destroy my life.  When I explained my situation they they stated that I needed to get creative in obtaining money to pay them.  I told them I wouldn't do anything illegal and asked for the file or debtor to be identified.  He would only say VISA.  Then I had asked for them to send me the paperwork and he said that they wouldn't do that but I could only do it over the phone.  What gives?  That is illegal.

No phone call but today I did get a mailing from them.   The 'official document' is so amateurish as to be laughable.  According to them I 'owe' Bank of America over $17K.  There's only one problem:  I have never in my life had any account, loan, credit card or any type of promissory note with BOA ever.

Seriously, I wish I could upload a scan of what they sent me.  Everything about this outfit screams SCAM.

I have zero debt and a 798 credit score. I got that by paying my bills on time and living below my means.  If these clowns think I am going to even acknowledge this piece of BS that looks like a [***] 7th grader made it they are sorely mistaken.   Like all mailings of this type it is going straight into the shredder.

No doubt the calls will start soon, and they will be ignored just as every other bottom-feeding boiler room collection agency has been ignored.

I owe NOTHING.  Leave me alone.

I got a threatening message in which this number 855-670-8405 was left. On caller ID 425-697-6019, then 425-673-0981 appeared. One said investment management & R. The other said Investment capitol managment. google search showed Edwards Jones group out of washington on the 425 number and this blog on the 855 number. After what I have read I do not intend to call back as it appears to be a scam.

They have called me three times - once in July and then again on September 2 and Sepember 19. All calls have been about an alleged Bank of America VISA debt. Callers referenced a Social Security Number which is not mine (I did not give them mine). The third time I asked them to remove my name from their "call list" - they said they would. Today (September 26) I received a threatening letter from them in the mail. When I called them, the person I spoke with hung up when I said that I had already told them they had the wrong person.

Got the same BS threat. Sue me [***] or is this a Tom Mabe joke!

So Randall Goins has recently opened a debt buyer biz which is located @ 21905 64th Ave West Suite 200, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043, phone number is 855-670-8405, he opened it August 2011. It is called Investment Management & Recovery, Inc. (IM &R for short). I started working there today, I was suppose to be trained, ya right, I sat there for 2 hrs with my thumb up my a** while his training manager, Sean, if that is what you want to call him, left me sitting by myself. The reason I didnt come back from lunch is because they gave me a packet to rules to sign, which would have been fine, but the one policy that was alarming was, stating that during the 30 day probationary period you had to wait 30 days to get paid, and that during those 30 days if you did not hit the quota of $7k they would terminate the employment and instead of paying the employee the $10-11.00 per hr. they would pay you washington state min wage and they would mail you a check 30 days from the termination date. It is impossible to hit the quota despite what he says, because by his and the collection manager Jesse Wofford (425-918-2068 cell #) admission, all of their accounts are out of stat. I made 60 calls in an hour and most of the numbers were discoed, and the rest people werent answering. The other reason I quit is because in the collector's script, they have the collector tell debtors by VM or when they do get people on the line that they have verified their checking accounts and employment and to avoid garn on their personal property and they need to pay. Here is a collection secret, if an account is out of statute and a debtor makes a payment on the account, even if its a dollar, the account goes back into statute for another 6-7 yrs, depending on your state.

   I never turned in my W4 or the rest of the paperwork because I didnt want them to have my info, and I left for lunch and never came back.  I am a very ethical debt collector and what he is doing so completely illegal. THEY DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL DEPARTMENT OR ANY ATTORNEY ON STAFF WITH THEM SO DO NOT BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAY THEY DO.  Randell is also Friends with Owner Jim Stewart of Sentry Credit, a 3rd party collection agency in Everett WA, a company known for unethical practices and major drug use. In fact when I told Randell I worked there in the past and that I quit because of drug use, he said "well that is common in the world of collections."  I was smart and saw the warning signs early one, but feel bad for the people that trusted this guy. Most of the collectors he recently hired are very green and have little, if no collection experience and buy into his crap, and do not realize that they are getting bent over by him.  Randell cares about lining his pockets, that is it and then bragging about how rich he is. Thing is, most people who are really wealthy do not have to brag about it, and most of them earned the money the honest way, not by getting people to do their dirty work and screw people out of money. It's funny that Randell owes a collection agency because from what I hear, he owes more people money from Florida to Washington, and will never pay.   The info above is current for him as of 11/21/2011, so if you want to serve his a** or contact the FBI to investigate him, this would be the address to direct them to.  You Can also look at different posts from people on 800 notes.com.

   His facebook profile is: http://www.facebook.com/randall.goins3, email is rgoins.investmentmanagement@live.com.  I hope this info helps everyone.  He also has a Craiglist ad currently listed for employment, it is listed under seattle-snoh co- customer service jobs. I copied his recent employment ad below.

   This is Randell's current biz card per his FB page, just copy and paste the link into the addy bar and it should come up, if not just go to his FB page and click photos and search under mobile uploads. I think all of the debtors he has his employees call over out of stat debts, or bogus debts, should start calling the jerks cell phone at all hours of the day and night, and start emailing the hell out of him.

           Tell me if you don't agree that this office space doesn't look like scam central? Funny how Randell Goins brags about how rich he is, but yet this is what the inside of IMR looks like. One would think that the prez would at least buy his employees real desks, not thrift store looking desks. This place is such a joke.

               The "Great and Mighty Get Rich Off Of Cheating Others, Randell Goins" cant even upgrade to windows 7, he is still using windows 98, I guess that is because he can never keep a business open long enough to find the need to upgrade to what the rest of the "real legit" business world is using.

Do not pay them or be scared of them.  The owner is a crook, he has owned a few debt buyer bizs from Florida to Washington State. All of the accounts are Out of Stat. He does not have a legal dept or a atty on retainer.  For more info see the info I posted below and also google Randell Goins in washington state. He has owned Reliant Recoveries, Greentree Acquistions, just to name a few.  A reputable Collection Agency will be fully licensed and will follow the FDCPA to the letter. Also, collection agencies\a debt buyers who suggest possible legal proceedings, need to have a attorney on retainer and have the intent to actually sue on a debt, all of Randell's accounts that he has bought are ALL out of stat. Which means that it can not be collected on and after 7 yrs is off of your credit report, 10 yrs for a judgement.  Statute requirements regarding various debts do vary depending on individual state laws. If you make even a small payment on a out of stat debt, it will start the statute of limitations for that debt all over again. I hope this info helps.

This man called us saying his name was Steve Young; from the same I N R inc. stating there was an intent out and it was very urgent to call immediately; ontop of that a recruiting agency just scammed us out of 99.00  that I did fall for.  What is there a "sucker list" they put our names on!? Thank God I read this helpful information prior to calling him back because we are trying to fix these problems right now (credit and scammers) and are calling everyone back.  Man what a world we live in.

Thanks so much for the info!  I had received a couple of calls from this number before however today was the first time anyone left a message for me - actually my OLD NAME!  That was the first clue that tipped me off.  Thank goodness for this site - not that I would have fallen for it however it's good to have a "gut check" and know that not returning their call is the right thing to do.  If they are dumb enough to call me again I am now armed with info and can shut them down.

Thanks again and may you all have a wonderful holiday and a safe, Happy and Blessed New Year!!

Thank you for the wealth of information.  You have no idea how many peoples livelihood you may have saved!  Not to mention their own sanity.  Best of luck to you!!

DO NOT go to work for this company or even consider taking a job with them. They do not pay their employee's on their scheduled pay days. Almost every pay day the employees do not get paid or recieve their paychecks as promised and if they do the paycheck is postdated for later in the week and then when the employees go to cash the check on that date the bank says that there are not funds available to cash the check. And on top of that someones paycheck is always shorted or has some kind of issue with it or the pay rate or amount of hours worked. And they always say they are going to take care of it and fix it and cut the employee another check for the difference of pay or hours lost, but never do and then when the employee asks about it they get blown off or get some kind of excuse as to why they havent been paid yet for those missing hours or pay or are told they will give it to them by the end of the day and then the management persons handling that issue leave for the day, they sneek out with out saying anything to anyone so that they don't have to deal with it or anyone, they run away like cowards!
Everything about this company and how they handle business is completely illegal. They do not run their business the way a legitamte business should be ran, they do not follow any guidlines or laws as they should. They screw people out of money and then fire them so they don't have to pay them. They cause their employees to be late paying their bills and then have no sympothy or even care when that person ends up in debt or with their phones, cable, power or water shut off or are kicked out of their homes. I know of several people that did or even still do work there that have had their phones shut off, their cars repossesed and have been kicked out of their homes or almost been evicted. I personally have not worked there but i see what the people that have or do go through or have been put through. This person running this business is a shady, cold hearted man who doens't care who he hurts in the process. He is causing so many people termoil and is messing with peoples lives and their well being and ability to live and it is not right. He diserves to go down for fraud!!!

Just received a phone call at my parent's house from these guys, and it really angered me. They used my name, it seems -- it was pronounced kind of badly, so I THINK it was my name. That was my Asian middle name, which I do not go by, but it is part of my full legal name. However, they then called the recipient of the message "Mr. (my last name)" although I am female, it was definitely not my father's name, so even before I was 100% sure it was a scam I wasn't too worried... how odd, though, that they had one of my names. Why on earth would they have information like that? My information IS out there in various places I'm sure - so why wouldn't they have called me by my English first name?

Anyway, the caller said they had a notice of intent for Mr. (last name) and then left two numbers. He said he was (something I couldn't decipher) Ericson (Erikson? Erekson??) and said that 425-673-0980 was their personal number, and also gave 1855-670-8405. They also gave some kind of case number.

The caller left a message on our answering machine and I tried to listen to it several times because I couldn't understand the name of the company. So, I tried calling the 855 number, because it was after hours to try to get the name clearer so I could Google it. And here I am.

So, anybody have this kind of experience too? Weird, huh?

Got a call today from 425.673.1018 and Stacy or JC Mitchell left a message regarding "property". So she left a call back number of 425.712.7591. I called and she told me it was regarding a Chase VISA card (which I've never had). Then she asked if I still resided at "address"...I said no. She asked if the last four digits of my SSN was XXXX. I said no. She said okay, this isnt you then. So I asked "Wait a minute, is this on my credit?!?" So she transferred me to some idiot that started reading me a script. I told him "Wait a minute, before you go further, I just confirmed with the lady that this isn't me." and he said "Yeah, its you, at some point you called and confirmed it." I told him that it was NOT me and to let me talk to a manager. He got super ghetto and basically said "There is no one higher. Its me. We'll just see you in court and collect our money. Cause thats what we do." then hung up.

I called back and asked for a manager and got the same frickin guy. Told him to send me a summeons and I will see them in court. And if they call me again, I will sue for harrassment. He then told me "You called us twice today...thats harrassment."

Keep in mind the first time was when this idiot hung up on me and the second time was to talk to the manager. Unbelievable.

Screw this company. Morons.

Thank you so much for the information you have provided.  I was contacted today by this office and I have to say, I was a little shaking up by the call until I started talking it over out loud.  I could tell the guy was reading some kind of script being a telemarketer/bill collector myself and the things he said was way out of line.  What really kind of freaked me out is when he read off my SSI to me correctly.  How does this scam artist have this information?  I was told I had a debt from Sears dating as far back as 2001.  Ya right!  I instantly warned people on Facebook to watch out for this scam!

Thank you soo very much for the information, I was contacted by these people also a couple of months ago then again two weeks ago, and the most recent was on Thursday Jan 5, 2012.  I was called by a person who said his name was Frank Lawrence and that I needed to call him immediately because there was an intent being filed against me because of a judgement that named me as the reciepient.  I was worrying so much that I could not sleep for two nights, I have not eaten in almost three days.  I was just about call them when I decided to find out where the area code 425 was and was directed to this site....I now know that this is all a scam so I will go and have a good meal and take a long nap.  Again, thank you all for the wonderful information.  Happy New Year to all of you and God Bless!!
