Got a call from someone named Mike Canonico claiming that I owed some outstanding debt like a payday loan or fraudulent check. They threatened to serve me a summons unless I started up a payment arrangement with them. I initially paid them $20, but in the meantime I began to do my research. This company is a fraud posing as a third-party affiliate that is collecting debts from other companies...they basically buy old account information from shady companies and then pursue you in hopes of making some money off an old debt. If you receive any calls from them...demand document evidence for the debt and then contact the original company that they are claiming to be representing.

Process servers to not call to collect debt or negotiate. These calls are coming from a person who is "retained" to work out of their home. They leave a number for you to call. In some isntances they will threaten or call late at night. I spoke with Xerox and they apologized and claim that they do not encourage this and are not liable for this subcontractor. I have already been inn contact with the Attorney General in my regional office. Xerox Management LLC can be found on the NYS Dept of State. Whether or not you owe the debt, does not mean they can harass. We called the police and ahd a trace placed on the phone. If you are getting these calls please respond. I can help you by telling you who to talk to at the Attorney Generals Office.

I got this directly from the Better Business Bureau website regarding these sort of companies.

- Debt Relief and Settlement Services – BBB warned consumers in 2010 to be careful when considering third-party assistance for getting out of debt. These companies often require upfront fees and potentially leave the consumer drowning in even more debt. Complaints to the BBB about debt relief and settlement services increased by approximately 30 percent in 2010.

This Xerox Mgmt company is simply preying on people who don't know know how they operate, it's a total scam and I guarantee you will not be served a summons for a payday loan, Lol. Next time they call...simply tell them to serve you the paper and see what happens.

A person by the name of Felicia called & stated they're going to serve papers on me for not paying off a payday loan, when I asked to speak to her supervisor she was very nasty on the phone & the  hanged up!  How do these people get away with this!  They should be a law against this company harrassing people!

No Cadillac, they cannot do that! Any legal process requires formal legal paper to be severed by The Sheriff"s Dept. or a private serving company and you have to sign for the papers.
These people buy information from others that have had access to an application that has been submitted online.
Mine was an online payday loan, I applied out of curiosity and never took the loan.
many many months later (could have been longer) I started getting calls saying I defaulted on a payday loan of $300 and that I was being sued, they ware giving me a chance to take care of it out of court by paying them $500!
After I told the to send me the paperwork of the lawsuit they kept repeating themselves. I never received any paperwork nor did I ever get sued!
After many many harassing calls and blocking many different phone numbers they finally gave up.
These people are counting on you to be ignorant of the law and try to scare you into paying them money to make it go away!
It's called "Extortion" do not fall prey to these people... that CANNOT touch you!

I received a call saying a law office in trying to contact me regarding illegal use of a checking account.  A male answered and claimed his name was Brian and asked for the person who is not at the phone number.  When asked what firm it was, Brian wouldn't answer and said he will have to end the call.  May be debt collector.

Received automated calls from this number informing me that my checking account was involved in fraudulent activity.  Person contacted at that number wouldn't disclose what the name of the company is.  The number is now on report with the feds and state verified they have no record of this as a debt collection company.  Most likely a scam outfit that is now being investigated.  The information below may be accurate, but needs to be verified.

A man by the name of Mr.Thompson called & stated for  me to call him back, and at the end of his message he stated (Yo call me back)! Con artist for real!!! Shame on these people!

Please be advise people, the companies are NOT SCAM ARTISTS or FRAUD.  They are legitimate companies who PURCHASE DEBT in an attempt to collect.  When lenders, both large and small have charged-off debt, they sell it and companies, know as DEBT BUYERS, purchase it and their collection staff attempt to collect.    You might also want to remember, that they are NOT the bad guys, as if people actually PAID their debts, ON TIME, there would not be a need for COLLECTORS.  

Clearly, yet another group of people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and pay their owed debts.    Also, if someone truly intended to pay their bill, it would have never gone to the point of being purchased by a debt buyer.  

**Sherri - your claim of inquiry is absurd.  Those companies review an application and REQUIRE authentication  BEFORE funding. And yes, they can touch you.  Its all determine by whether or not they choose to waste their time.  

One last thing - NO, you do NOT have to be served by a police officer or the like. Service can be done by mail or posting.    

Please educate yourselves people, before blogging about something you clearly have NO KNOWLEDGE about.

I have been getting these calls for months and my sister has as well.  They will not leave me alone and they threaten and harrass me daily!  What can I do outside of changing my number?  I have already reported them to the FTC,

so i was getting calls from 866-344-7763 some guy saying he was retained to serve me with a summons it sounded like ajoke so i ignored it then he called my grandma my ex wifes parents so i called this place up and they were so-so to talk to and soundy ify so i didnt pay, and last week the guy that was calling me showed up to my house and served me, i did some research on these ppl when they 1st started calling and i saw nothing but bad things so i figured it was a scam, but i guess it was just ppl who didnt want to pay there bills and were mad they were calling them to pay there bills, now i went to court and my 500 bill is at like 2300 with court and atty fees!! FML

You crooks must be getting desperate LOL.

you guys are off base. daniel chamorro doesnt own xerox and neither does dan olcott.  dan chamorro was only an it guy and dan olcott just set up the entity. the real owner of xerox management group is shris collins under his "consulting firm" cjc consulting. he is a scum bag con artist, he has his collectors trained in how to use the "shake and close" which is when the collectors call up posing as process servers to sscare people into calling, then threaten legal action to get them to pay. its the only thing he knows and he does it at all of his companies. bayside management, titan, international systems development, santa fe management services, orbit international services, and several more. none are listed under chris collins directly, always under a friend or relative. his operating agreements list his scam "consulting company cjc-consulting.  do not pay these dirt bags a dime record all conversations and have an attorney file suit! also report to the NYS AG!

My mother received a call about returned checks,  i have not written a check in a few years. They called my parents phone in a different state. If they are legit they should be able to locate me as I am listed in the phone directory.

they are NOT legit, file a complaint with the NYS Attornehy General ASAP!!

Yes, I to receive this same call about summons to court for a bad check with the Cash Store and gave my bank account number for ACH electronic deductions they have taken $150.00, $75 payment plan for 5 installments is this a scam.

You obvious work for these crooks to be claiming they are legit, they can collect debt but as consumers we have rights, we do not need to be harrassed or threatened with a lawsuit. You purchase debt pennies on the dollar and the debt is now yours to collect not the original lender. You can not say you are calling on behalf of the original company saying they are going to sue you and serve you papers. You can not call and tell other people that the debtor is writing hot checks or bad checks, if you spent all this energy in actually learning laws and how to collect a debt truthfully then this post would not even be here. And you might want to tell your owners of the company license and bonds are required to even try to collect a debt in some states. So you are wasting your time. Your a crook and a con artist extorting money not collecting a debt. You are full of yourself when you say you are legit, if you are legit get a real website with actual address and contact phone numbers, get a license, and quit changing your number because you know that what you are doing is wrong and ILLEGAL on your debt collecting practices

Received a call from this number.  The folks I talked to are a collection agency.  It was for a payday loan that I had forgotten about.  I made arrangements to pay it off and they emailed me an agreement with payment terms that I had agreed to.  The letter contained a phone number where I could reach them and speak to someone.  I have had no problems with this company since.

My xhusband worked at, at least two of several of the companies, owned/managed/consulted by the owner of Xerox Management Group, llc. I was made aware of their illegal activities via my xhusband. I can only imagine that some of your complaints on this timeline, are due to his compliance with his company's directions and training. This particular company only had a handfull of individuals. The two companies he worked for, were not run out of individual's homes, but at legit "offices."

I, in no way, shape, or form am here to defend their or my xhusband's actions. But to confirm from a more inside perspective that these claims of illegally attempting to obtain debt occurred. I can't apologize on behalf of my xhusband. He consciously made the decision to continue working for these companies after I provided him with info on legit debt collection practices, verses the tactics employed by him and his company.

I am, however sorry! Please file complaints with the NYS AG, FTC, BBB, and your local governing agencies, as well as complaints with Amherst Chamber of Commerce, Amherst, NY, Buffalo governing agencies, and the Amherst Police & Buffalo Police.
