877-333-5260

Keeps calling my family, where I lived about 10 years ago!!! Not current! Don't know why they are calling them instead of me, it makes no sense! They won't stop!

I just received a threatening message by someone name michael jones.

recieved a call from a ms. terri hatcher?  ( you gota be kidding!!)
saying I owe money ..but wont say to who. and something about a dept ? ...the woman sounds like shes calling from a toilet , a lot of background noise and very tinny sound.

I too received a call from them...when i called the ansewered aas the corporate office and aske for information...then sent me to their legal department.  The same guy who answered teh phone worked in the legal department.  was extremely rude.  saying they were serving papers.  When did a debt collection company call and say they were serviing papers from a sherrifs office???  I told them I was recording them and they hung up

Same Here they are full of crap.

I too, recieved the same phone call, she even asked for my SS# I told her to KMA and to read me my SS.  Said I owed a ridculous amount of money and that I should had already been served papers.....then proceed to ask for the payment in full but couldnt tell me who was collecting it....

These people have been harassing me for the past month - they call from 'restricted' numbers claiming they are law enforcement wanting to serve me some kind of bogus papers.  If they are harassing you, call your attorney general's office and put in a complaint.  They claim they have some kind of bill I owe and when I asked what it was, they didn't even know.  I've paid off all of my credit cards and I told them this.  What they are doing is illegal.

NEVER
   give a debt collector your banking or credit card information.

  They will take much more than you authorize.

NEVER
   do "checks by phone" as debt collectors could empty your bank account.

  You would have little recourse.

NEVER
   send them money via Western Union.
BEWARE
   Paying a collector will NOT get an amount removed from

  your credit report. They do NOT have that ability.

RECORD
   conversations with collectors (where legal) so they can be

  held accountable if they break the law.

NEVER
   do anything based only on a phone call.  A legitimate collector

  should be willing to put agreements in writing BEFORE a payment is made.

► Under Provisions of Federal Law

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

It is Illegal for Debt Collectors to:
◄
 Imply that failure to pay the debt could result in arrest, imprisonment, or garnishment of wages;

Call consumers at work when they knew the consumers' employers prohibited such calls;

Talk with third parties, including neighbors, children, and employers, for purposes other than acquiring location information about consumers, without consumers' consent;

Cause the telephone to ring, or engage a person in telephone conversations, repeatedly or continuously, with the intent to annoy, abuse, or harass a consumer;

Threaten to take action -- such as filing a lawsuit -- when they did not intend to do so;

Call consumers at times or places that they knew or should have known were inconvenient;

Fail to notify consumers of their right to dispute and obtain verification of their debts, and to obtain the name of the original creditor  

Continue to try to collect debts after consumers disputed them in writing, and before verifying the debts.

Use obscene or profane language

We received a call from an unavailable # person (Michael Jones) left a VM for one of my relatives at my home #; they also left a reference # stating to contact their legal dept., at 1877-3335260. I called the number they answered Corporate office I asked which corporate office they were calling from and the person became defense stating they could not discuss that information with me when I asked for Michael Jones I was told there was not Michael Jones at that #.

It sounds like a SCAM!!!

Don't give this company any money whatsoever.  They are not a licensed collection agency (because if they were, they wouldn't break so many laws), they are unethical and all they are doing is harassing people.  If you do have charge-offs, they are not the people to collect on them.  They buy old charge-off accounts for about .50 cents, yes .50 cents.  Then they find out who all of your relatives are, neighbors and employer.  They will harass you and others connected (or not connected) to you in an attempt to bully you into giving them money that they are NOT entitled to.  If you fall for this and pay them, you're basically paying them to leave you alone temporarily.   Once they know you are a sucker who will pay them, you will be on the top of their list of people to continue to scam.

Call your local law enforcement and report them because it's harassment (something else they are doing that is illegal).  

AGAIN, DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANY MONEY WHATSOEVER!!!!  IT'S A SCAM!!!!! CALL THE AUTHORITIES AND REPORT THEM!!!!!

Got a phone call from same company...same threats about papers being served.  Question:  Has anyone reported to police or how do you do this?  I don't want to get anymore calls!

Report them to your State's Attorney Generals Office. They are criminals that are violating many of the State's laws as well as the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

Call your local police department and put in a complaint if you receive anymore calls from them.  Chances are, they will NOT leave you alone.  There is a chance they will find out who your relatives are, your neighbors, your friends, your enemies - and, they will call them and harass them, too.  That's why it's important to report them.

A creep by the name of Thai Han owns this company.  It's located in Riverside County California.  They have po boxes/mailbox rentals set up in Riverside and Orange County strip malls.

They are NOT a law firm nor do they have lawyers that work for them.  They have not filed any lawsuits against you.  They are trying to intimidate you and bully you into giving them money they are NOT entitled to.   They are NOT a licensed collection agency meaning if you fall for their scam, you'll be out the money with NO advantage whatsoever.  

REMEMBER - DO NOT GIVE THIS UNETHICAL AND FRAUDULENT COMPANY ANY MONEY!!!!

I just got a call from them, and they have been calling for over 2-4 months and it has always been from an unrestricted or private name and unknown number. They said something about these serving papers, even though the people in the house have been working on paying off their debts anyways. They also said something about the judge already trying to get here to serve 2 times and it has failed.  When I was taking Computer, they said that this was illegal, and they also said this in personal finanace when we were watching Dave Ramsey.

Got a call from these idiots today on a private number. They are trying to reach my daughter who hasn't lived with me for 15 years. They also call her uncle making threats. They say legal action pending blah blah blah. My niece works for a collection agency  in Dallas and she said in the state of Texas, collection agencies cannot sue, or threaten to sue. So ignore them if you can, don't call back, don't do anything. Don't let them frighten you with threats. Every state has a limit on how long debts can be pursued. Here in Texas its 5 years, so yes it will go on your credit report, but you don't have to pay after those 5 years. eventually it will drop off your credit report .All they do is buy these old debts and charge you way more than you originally owed, plus it will STILL be on your credit report and they will still continue to call and threaten. Don't be a sucker..be informed

Some michael jones called my old job today..left a message and case#.Said possible action is pendibg against me.left the number..877-333-5260.Im afraid to call back since i have not been contacted by mail...only at mt old employer where i have not worked for over 2 years.Any suggestions on how to handle this?

I received a call from a private number. The guy didn't say his name, but he said he was calling on the behalf of a private company who is trying to collect a debt.  He gave me the 877-333-5260 number to call and said I had to call asap or they would have a court hearing. I asked the name of the company and he said it was ARM, but he doesn't know what it stands for.  He also didn't know the hours of operation of the company. It sounded really bogus!!!

I received the same call from Michael Jones asking for someone who has our same last name but we don't know. Then he said that my husband knows this person and to deliver the message.
He gave me this number 877-333-5260 and a case number.
This is fraud and you should file a report to the Federal Trade Commission, the federal agency in charge of investigating fraud cases. They are scammers.

I have just received a private number call from this woman asking for me, I ask her who she is and with what organization, she then says well is this sarah? I said answer my question first who are you!. She says she is kim from KRS. Like that is even helpful. I tell her she has the wrong number and she says before hanging up in my face, "well I will just call back later then!" what a freak.. haha when she does I will blast some type of heavy metal music in the phone while answering it. These type of people you can not reason with or get them to leave you alone so the best thing to do is not try and reason with them, instead give me a taste of their own aggravating medicine when they call.
