Our call came to my Husbands Dad this morning.  I was givin the number and I called.  The lady that left the message was an Investigator Hawthorn.  When I got on the phone I didn't have a ref. number so Luke Hawthorn looked it up and told me that my husband owed over $800 on a payday loan we took out online in 2007.  I kept asking him what was the name of the company who is "sueing" me because we have not taken any loans out Nor have we received any bills or calls from anyone.  He said the company is tired of sending us bills only for us to ignore.  He gave me the bank name of who we bank with now.  I told him if I owed them, they why are they not calling us directly.  He said he didn't have that info and that the loan company sold the debt to a Jeff Mick and Associates and they were hired by them to find Kyle.  I told Luke that all he had to do is type in my husbands name in Google and you will not only find all kinds of stuff on him (because my husband is very well known in the theater and used to always be in the paper) and we own our own business that is online complete with info on how to get a hold of us.  Not to mention the white pages, yada yada.  I kept asking him for the original debt owner and he said they do not have it, then I said we will not pay anything.  He kept saying he was not a debt collector but was just here to inform us that we will go to court if we don't settle this today.....OK WHAT!??!?  so he is not there to collect a debt but if we don't pay we go to court?  I asked him what he wanted from me today and he gave me a choice to pay the settlement payment of $541.  I said I wasn't going to pay and I wanted answers to the original debt owner.  Finally he said he would let me talk to his superviser to see if he could get more info for me.  I talked to a Timothy Duff?  (very slurred and sounded like Luke)  He kept telling me the same thing.  I asked him who hired him and he said that was confidential to protect his client.  I then told him that Luke had already told me who it was and he said, "Well we have a lot of clients so it could have been".  I told him I would not pay the debt without the original name so I can call them, he finally gave me a name of Pro Solutions and said that they own a lot of PayDay Loans and that they would not talk to me if I contacted them.  I finally got tired of all of the run around so I told him just that.  He then told me that I was giving him the runaround and that he was just going to hang up because they get paid by the hour and he didn't have time for this.  
So I called the number back and talked to a Rod Sawyer, (who sounded just like the other two guys) I told him I didn't like being hung up on and if he could nicely give me answers.  He told me the same thing but a few more things.  He proceeded to tell me that this is my husbands debt and that in the end it will be my husband who will suffer.  I told him I am married to him so this does affect me.  He just said well....... He said they could take the house and garnish, If I paid then he could give me the name of the creditor and the case number saying we are released.  Oh and this is pretty funny.  He said that they are not a collection agency and only collection agencies hang up on their clients.  The only reason I was hung up on is because they are paid by the hour.  I called our court house and there is no case against me.  I used to be a community corrections officer so I still have connections to the court house.  They told me (under the table of course) to call th FDCPA and threaten them with that. Oh and did I mention that our son's girlfriend is a police officer!!!  And that I still know many sherriffs officerss out here?  HAHA I will be calling anyone I can includin all of these in this post.

Okay, so here's the deal, my mother got a phone call today from this number, a Stanley Keystone, spoke with her asking if she knew my mother in-law. He continued to tell her that there was a civil complaint against my mother in-law, and that MY mother was listed as an emergency contact on "Her list".  So my mother asked, "What list would you have got this from? I maybe see her once or twice a year." The man then rudely replied, "Well, if you're not going to help me, then I will find someone who will!". So my mother asked for his info. and said she would track her down and give her the message. He even gave her a case number! My mother then called another number she found online, supposedly for reporting this type of incident, but she said after the last phone call, she didn't know who to believe, so she hung up after being put on hold. Does anyone on here know how I can go about reporting this, or for my mother to report this?

i got a call from this number today.a detective lou harlthorn said i will be served with a warrant to go to court in my county within 72 hours if i don't return the call.i know it is a collection agent because i talked to the police department here in my town.

i got a call from the same people in 2008, for a debit from 2004 and his name was suppost to be John Wayne?(with a very thick indian accent) sound familar? this guy threatend me my husband and my family, well my husband being the type of person he is..... got on the phone and got into a yelling match with John Wayne!!!! told John Wayne when and where to meet him.... LOL I asked my husband if he wanted me saddle up the horses? He never showed... needles to say we did get to pay that debit wich at that time we in a position to pay,  Then this morning i got a call from "Special Investigator Diane Hynes" told me they were going to send the local sherriff to serve me "papers" my husband got on the phone and he told her what had happend 2 years ago with those people for her to get us served and we will be happy to see her in court, to make sure she brought john wayne with her, LOL

How do these people get phone numbers of our relatives? they even called my husband oldest sons phone number my husband is 15 years older than i, he & i got married 10 years ago, his son never lived with us, and to think about it. the last time my husband and his son lived under the same roof.... about 20 years... that cant be legal. and another thing... are theses people even licensed to collect in Texas? or any other states?

This is a company in Georgia that is making false, improper threats to debtors with incessant phone calls.  They have been reported before and should be put out of business...they are violating several of the laws of the US and the State of Georgia, where they operate from.

I asked for proper verification of "the debt" (which they say is from 1999) via US mail, and told them to go ahead and send me a summons, and that I'd be thrilled to counter sue them for violation of the FDCPA.  I told them that the phone call was being recorded and that I would continue to record and document each and every contact that they attempt to make with me, as they are all in violation of the FDCPA as of this minute. Read the FDCPA. Read it!

Ya know how debt collection agencies are lying? Their mouths are moving.
Thanks Dave Ramsey!

I don't expect to hear from them again, and if I do, I'll just follow the steps and they'll fall apart.
All is well.

Someone called named Luke Hawthorne a claims investagator called. A court case file against him. Someone will serve him from the sheriff 's office in our parish. Hawthorne did not even pronounce the name right and said you have 48 hours to call the office. It sounds like a tape recorder because it is beeping throughout the message left. Thanks guys for the information on these jerks!!
