Called us for a 17 year old debt. BOGUS! We are pursuing affirmative action to shut this outfit down. Pertinent names: KAREN HEADLY INVESTIGATOR
TIM DETOTH: MANAGER

My sister called me today around noon to tell me that this woman call and said that I need to call her, or they will take action against me. So i call this lady Mrs. Robertson and ask her what company she worked for and she told me Legal action and she explained what they were about after gave my name, she told me that my debt was sold to them and that I owed 1125.36 and that they can take some off if I paid them and would not have a sheriff come to my house so I said ok. I then was transferred to a Victor who was very ruid and ugly, he got mad because I asked him how do I know that I took the loan out, I did not remember doing that in 2006. He asked me why I was trying to argue and I told him I wasnt I want to make sure not paying for some one else, he then got very ruined and told me a sheriff would come serve me, and then hung up I called back and he got back on phone and I asked how would I be served when they didnt know my home address or number he said they would find me and that i was ruined and hung up on me again. Well at this point my husband called back and they gave him to Victor and he said let me guess your the husband of the raacest [***], my husband replied with you dont know her and said what he had to and Victor told him they could do what they want and said really things. So when he hung up I did some calling around and found out who sold him that and called them I expained to the lady I spoke with what Victor had said and she said I only owed 370.00 and that she will fix everything and that she will pass on to boss what had happened, she said she didnt know why they said I owed so much. I then hung up with her and called Victor back and told him now he cant do thing and he said that he still can and will and asked me why I was raceist and I asked him why he thinks that he said way I talk and I saidd well I am mexican and have mixed twin boys and he hung up on me. I then called the FTC and they are going to look into it. So every one be carefull these people are very dirty and lie about everything.  The FTC said they will contact me they are done looking into it will let you know what they say.

Investigator Rose Benson called my fathers house making the very same comments as you can read in every case. I went to our Police Dept. and I was told that unless they receive money from me they can not file a legal complaint for fraud against LEGAL ACTION INVESTIGATORS in Marietta, Ga unless they get money from me. So people get their address and send them a certified check for $1.00 Dll. so you will be out a dollar but they will be out of business and with any luck they will do time.

Received a call from these people today.  Very threatening and they were looking for a cousin I haven't seen in years.  I filled out an FTC complaint.  They should not leave that kind of information on just anyone's phone.  They have no idea who I am.

Here is the phone number of the Georgia Attorney General.  404-656-3300

Anyone who wants to complain about this company should report them to the Attorney General as the business is run out of that state and the attorney general is responsible to investigate fraudulant businesses.  If they get enough complaints something might be done.

Also, impersonating a police office is a federal offense and the attorney general should also be able to direct you to the appropriate agency if they identified themselves as a police officer.

On January 17, 2010 we reported our call and filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Today January 28,2010 we received a phone call from the New York Attorney Generals office Buffalo regional Office. They are developing a case against this company, and informed us that the owner of the company is now incarcerated. Apparently the FTC is forwarding all complaints to them. If you want action file your complaints with the FTC.

Charlie the main man,

Do not send them any money even if you are trying to get them in trouble. Once you pay them you open up a 7 year statue that has already passed and soon as they receive it they can put a lean on your credit for the next 7 years. This is the scam they are actully doing and it is totally leagal. Now repersenting themselves as a police officer is not leagal and your police should be investigating it.

I received a voice mail on my cell phone from "Investigator"... someone. He rudely informed me that a "relative" was going to be arrested in 48 hours if they didn't return the phone call.

First of all, when they called me, they called me by my ex-husband's last name. When I got married, I NEVER changed my name. That's always a big clue that something isn't right.

Second, it's a civil matter - you're not going to be arrested.

Finally, they run and hide when you say you are recording the phone call.

My advise... FIGHT BACK! THIS IS A SCAM!

Here's how:

1. Call them back but DO NOT give them any information!
2. Say you wish to record the conversation for legal purposes (they should hang up quickly). If not, read on...
3. Tell them the truth! Say you know this is a bill collector and you're going to take legal action against them (even if you're not).
4. Laugh at them, they HATE it!! They were screaming at me and I just kept laughing - drove them crazy!!
5. Talk like a fool! When they ask for your SSN say that you were born on Mars and raised by apes, therefore you have no SSN.

You get the idea.

Anyhow, the bottom line is that this is merely an attempt to collect a debt.
We all know the best way to avoid bill collectors is by paying our bills. However, sometimes it's not possible. Sometimes (like myself), they are calling relatives... even children. Stop them, you have the power.
Just remember, never give personal information over the phone.

Good Luck!

All I can say, is thank the Lord for the internet! I got a phone call (first one) from these people today - it was an 877# so I let it go to voicemail. I accidently deleted it, but wrote down the name, numbers given, etc. and immediately went to the internet to look it up. Special Investigator Diane Hayne (what it sounded like) gave me the same line as everyone else here has written. I'll get a recording set up and call them back as y'all have mentioned above. I will also be filing a complaint with the FCC.

Thanks everyone for your advice and input!

We received a call from this number as did my in laws - not quite sure how they found or related our numbers at all but was very threatening.  so glad this was on line before we called back. I can't say that we owe anything or have done anything civilly wrong but the messages were threatening and caused quite a hassle between me and my inlaws.  nasty people - trying to fear people into doing something for no good reason.

I received a call tonight from my brother stated that the people are very upset with me and they have a civil case against me. I called back and the person who answered put me on hold. So I decided to Google the number, boy I'm glad I did. I will be reporting them also.

Thank you

I had three missed calls all back to back and one voicemail from  "Investigator" Diane Haynes yesterday. She told me that this was her final attempt to contact me and that it would be in my best interest to return the call with 24 hours or I would be summoned to appear in court with charges filed against me. I called 8772013399 right back and asked to speak with "Investigator" Diane Haynes. Once transferred she answered "This is Ms. Haynes, how may I direct your call?". I responded "Is this Inestigator Diane Haynes?" Her tone changed dramatically and she said "yes". She asked for my "case number" and then called me two different names in the same sentance. She told me I was being sued by a credit card that I had paid off in 1999. I was so confused. I asked her for more details and she had nothing. I then asked to be transferrred to her supervisor. "Legal Investigator director Cedric Fortson" then got on the phone and asked me to give him my name, address, and current bank. I told him he was crazy and demanded more information about what this matter was concerning. He told me the same story that a credit card that I paid off in 1999 was demanding final payment of $2,895 and I could do it over the phone and be done with it today or would need to appear in court. I told him again that I had paid the debt and was curious why in 11 years this is the first time I had heard any mention of this card??? He told me they had been trying to contact me for ages...I told him I had documentation that I had paid this debt and wanted the contact information from his client. He had nothing not even an account number. I then told him to send the summons and I would meet them in court and was half tempted to sue them for the aggrivation. He told me I could have a week to think about it and he would call me back. Now I was getting angry. I told him to send the summons and I would see them in court. When I asked who he was in the matter he hung up.
I was so confused and angry that I actaully left work and went home to find any record I had of this account. Once I did I called the credit card company and they had no idea what I was talking about and apologized.
A few hours later I found out that they had tracked my inlaws down and threatened them that i was going to to go to court and possibly jail if I didn't pay that debt today.
I have fild charges with the BBB and the FTC!
If anyone calls you from this number don't give them the time of day and you do threaten them with fraud!

I to am very glad I googled this number,,Not only did I get a threating message on my phone it was for somone else with the same  last name. Then again today I got 2 more calls same number but different excuses one was like the orginal call and the other was a "Dentist Office" looking for a husband and wife to set up a teeth cleaning appointment, How stupid they dont even try calling at different time or numbers... I hope this isnt a scam to get honest peoples numbers for some reason

This "Investigator" Diane Haines left me a voice msg on my home phone.  I called the number back and was told I needed to get a lawyer because their client is filing a civil suit against me.  I asked for the information of this creditor and she told me ProSolutions. I asked what was the amount and why haven't I received anything in the mail regarding this.  She then sounded very agitated by my questions and placed her supervisor on the phone who in turn told me he's not going to argue with me about it if I want to be irresponsible and not admit to owning said account then thats on me.  Also, he said that his client has proof and it will be presented to the judge and there would be no way that I would win.  I told him that I know I didn't sign for anything and unless I receive something in the mail or from the court, do not call me. He claimed the account was a payday loan back in 2006. He also had the last 4 digits of my SSN. They were trying to have me resolve something by paying them before this "situation" lands me in court.  Yea well, I'll just have to go to court because I wasn't about to give them any credit card or bank information.

Hey...... these people calling from INDIA, CHINA and other countries. where hundred of call centers are running for getting money by fraud from USA and UK citizens... ITS ALL SCAM...

How it runs..........(for debt collection)

It starts when people tries to get loan online, they fill all their personal detail on that sites and problem starts from this point. all your information is sold to collection agencies (call centers) at $4 to $6 / Person, whether you got that loan or not.

SO what actually they (Call Centers) do...

1. They have all of your information includes: your name, social security number, address, employment detail, 2 references and a detail of amount.( which you didn't get)

2. For dialing purpose call center gets USA or UK numbers. they calls through various softwares (like: ICALL). And have various phone numbers.

3.They hire college students or some people and prepare them to communicate with you. (training classes for getting a bit of American accent) and gives them fake names (American).

4. They makes a write up for leaving message to threaten you. like:-

"This message is intended for Mr. john (your name).  john the very second you receive this msg i need you or your retained attorney to call me back. the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. my name is ..........., and i am calling from financial accountability association, my call back no. is 123456789, i am repeating this for you john 123456789, john don't disregard this msg and call me on my number back as soon as possible. if i don't get any call from you or from your attorney........ wish you good luck, bye"

5. If you pick up phones ...they will threaten you by saying... that federal govt or federal legislation  is going to pressing lawsuit against you and your social security number. and try to make you remember that you took a pay day loan and never paid it back... so it is very easy to threaten you by saying that "such company falling lawsuit against you for your unpaid loan".
( you don't know for which loan he/she talking about and try to remember your last 2- 3 loans (which you actually got and never paid)).  At this time you stuck in the situation.

(according to my perception you never know "how many loan you took in last 1 or 2 year"- sorry-- joking)

6. They will tell that you are charged against these allegations:-  1. Theft by deception 2. collateral cheque fraud

7. They will tell u that they have sent various mails to inform you but u never replied and that was the only way to communicate you.

8.They will ask u to write a Apologizing letter that “your intention was not bad and you never wanted to run away with that money & you want to fix that issue by paying ..... amount.”


how to avoid them...

1. By telling that you have an attorney (Both criminal and bankruptcy). give any number by saying "call to my attorney"... they won't call.
2. By telling that u know : Its ALL SCAM .......... they will hung up.
3. By telling that its not my social security number....... they will never call.
4.By asking for the date of loan taken (online)........ they can't help you in this matter (by which u can come to know about scam)

Don't be afraid.........They won't sue........

If this detail is helpful for you please copy paste this into other pages... don't be selfish.... and save other people from being fool.


My English is not so good.
I am an Indian........ all Indians are not same... you can send me mail for more detail:- jasusviju@gmail.com

IF YOU REALLY TOOK LOAN AND WANT TO PAY IT BACK THEN PLEASE VERIFY ALL DETAIL BEFORE PAYING ANYONE.........

Thanks and help people

The person said to call this number back-877-201-3399,I was to get in touch with him or my lawyer was to get in touch with him ASAP! He also said that failure to do so would result in a sheriff showing up at my residence or my place of employment?? I am not going to call and I really think this is a bogus call trick!! Since he has asked for a Robin Clark and that  was 2 married names ago for me?? He also gave a case # as a reference for me and said that someone has filed a complaint against me at his office?? Really it sounds like a dumn trick! For some reason they are calling about a debt collection,I will bet $ on it!!

same as all the others on voicemail 2 times! He says his name is Victor??  Thank Goodness for the internet-we can all stop crap like this if we can report it like this-Thanks for these postings!

I was called at 6:30 am on a Saturday looking for Harland Tipton.They said he had used my wifes name as an emergency contact and saying something about a citation in court. I mentioned my wife works at the local court and they quickly excused themselves. This was a follow up call after two other calls threatening legal action also. The name given is Investigator Rachel Falkner and a case number.
