8772095454

My elderly father and mother get a voice mail on his house phone that if he doesn't call back 877-209-5454 on behalf of St Charles County a summons will be issued for his arrest.  I think it may have been an old bill looking for me.  I have not lived with my parents for 25 years.  I have been a collector for 25 years working at both agencies and banks.   This has violated several areas of the FDCPA.

Needles to say when I call them back they will get an ear full for harassing my elderly father and mother.

This number called me and stated it would send law enforcement to my house if I didn't call back. What a scam, I called and they answered legal dept. I'm going to keep calling them back and harassing them. I suggest you do the same.

i received a call from a Gabriel Cotochie from this company today saying that I was a respondent in a civil matter & that either me or my attorney need to get in contact with them as soon as possible. Also giving me an affidavit # to refer to when I call. They also said that if I didn't call back that I will be summoned at my job or home.  They also called my mother. She called them back but they wouldn't give her any information and told her that they were going to take her off the contact list...

They just called and said they were a special investigor with Legal Action. I have never even lived in the 'county' they said the 'court' will take place in. also ended the call with good luck.. BOGUS! Do not fall for this. They used my maiden name which i have not had for 15 years. what a joke!

These people just left a message regarding my son having a civil complaint against him in Sacramento County.  My son once flew through the Sacramento airport when he was 11 years old; stayed hardly long enough to get into any trouble! Further more, this young man managed to graduate from college debt-free, has never had a credit card, owns and owes nothing. He may have returned a library book late once but I'm sure the fine was paid timely. Anyway, our lawyer is sending a letter of debt validation to them today or tomorrow (Investigator Pennington provided the address without hesitation)and once we hear back, I will follow up with the Attorney General for the state of Minnesota, if our lawyer recommends for us to do so.

Sounds like the same outfit.  Woman calls, doesn't identify herself says she wants to speak to "Lorraine" who is an emergency contact for someone. I say no Lorraine here, ever. She says Oh, sorry I see I have the wrong file. It says "Mr. and Mrs. (My Last Name)." (Spouse and I have different last names). I have you as an emergency contact for "James Grear."  We don't know anyone by that name so I told her and she hung up.

If they are trying to serve papers on somebody or collect a debt, it's pretty low to insinuate that the person has been in an accident.

Received the same call from Erick Bishop from the same number with extention 105, saying that he is a special investigator calling about a civil complaint filed.He even had a file number 119176 and saying failure to respond will result in further action and litigation will be filed.

Received a voice mail at home from Carl Ingram (sp) stating that he is from 'Office of Legal Services' and that he has a series of pending legal cases against me and that it's "time sensitive" that I call him back.  Stated that if I call him back he'll refrain from filing the cases.

I am calling him back for sure...to give the FTC as much information as possible.  Apparently, these people have never heard of the Fair Debt Collection Act of the agency that oversees its enforcement.

this person - Inspecter Gabriel Cartachi called me with this.  did throw me in the beginning, just got through dealing with student loan garnishments and having to request hearing to have it released so i was one of those believing these people.  she said she needed to speak with me or legal rep or this would be a civil matter pursued through my county court. she gave me an affidavit number and everything.  i called legal aid but they couldn't give me any assitance but wanted me to set up an appointment, i didn't have time for that.  so i called these people back asking her what it's about and explaining im in no finacial situtation to deal with it.  she was sympathetic, understanding [i see now it was false] and it was from something from 5 years ago.  she told me the total was $1500, saying it could be reduced to $1000.  i did set up bank draft for $30/mo and now that i see what they did was illegal as per the debt collection act i will stop that and contact them letting them know.  i really wasn't thinking clearly [no paperwork received, no court documentation, no information mailed on resolving the matter or appearing in court].  i just heard court summons and thought not another garnishment please!  anyway, yea these people do prey on you.  i generally look up the numbers coming through from people like that, did it after the fact this time though.  thanks for the info all of you!  oh yea, the "director" was Tim Doehk or something.

these people called my cell phone and my parents house identifying it was investigator sky and she was calling about a civil complaint which was filed and I was the respondant. She had the last 4 of my social as well as my old address. When I called back she claimed I owed $706 dollars to an account which had been closed back in 2006. She was rude as could be asking why I did not pay this and ignore the attempts to collect debt all these years and insisted I was going to court over this matter. They had the right account information, just 4 years later. These people are VERY good scam artists and sound believable. Please don't fall for this and offer them any more information then they already have.

"special investigator Roberts" called me and said that i am going to be summoned in fact tomorrow, if i don't pay $1000. He said I am being sued and that he can transfer me to a person who can help me settle this. "Victor" told me that i needed to pay $700 and the debt would be wiped out. otherwise, law enforcement will be on their way out to my house soon. I told him that I would like to be sent something in the mail, and I want the name and address of where he is calling from. He said the company name is Amingo Action Recovery and he refused to give me an address, but did say it was in Georgia. I then told him that it is odd that a debt collector, for a debt that is not mine, is also a police investigation unit. i told him to go ahead and have the police summons me. what scamming [***]!

Women called numerous times stating the a civil complaint had been filed against me in Jackson county Missouri.  I was given a file number and told to return her call within 24-48 hours or further action would be taken against me.  I'm really glad that I checked the phone number on the web and was able to see all of the others who had received bogus scams from this number.  I will be contacting the General Attorney for the State of Missouri as well as local authorities.

I work for a credit company, several of my customers in good standing have called very upset because of these people. This is not real. They are not real collectors. It is a scam.
It is also very illegal to misrepresent the purpose of your call when attempting to collect a debt. (ie "your mother has been in a car accident)

Is there a way to have this stopped?

This company called relatives claiming to be a prosecutor for the Maricopa County, AZ indicating they had a warrant for arrest, called back and it turns out its a collection agency,  This company should be prosecuted for this type of action.  Impersonating a legal entity and threatening arrest is going a bit beyond the law I think.

These people just called my grandfather who is recovering from a bipass surgery and told him I was being sued.  I havent spoken to my grandfather in 10 yrs and would never give his phone number to anyone.  I then called the company for them to tell me they were sending out a warrant for legal action in a civil suit for $563 for a debt with my cell phone company.  The guy hung up on my 4 times and then I called my cell company as I am in good standings with them and they told me they have no information about a bad debt with them ever.  So I filed a complaint with the FTC.  The FTC rep said to mail Legal Action Recovery a  certified letter to stop all communications with me.  I didnt give the guy any info but he had my current address trying to tell me I didnt live there anymore.

Sargent Eric Bishop called my sister-in-law.  Have no idea how he got her number.  Same BS as reported by many others.  They are trying to strong arm collection of debts that are over 10 years old or written off years ago.  There must be a way to stop such harrassment

They called me on a acct that chged off over 10 yrs ago..................very illegal and implying on my voice mail and with 3rd party of the pending proceedings ................file a Attorney General, Fair Trade Commission , and BB complaint they will be fined and stop their crap!
