Said I owed them money going to call my place of emplyment if i. Didnt call them back and serve me papers

I received the same call from "URG" saying they are serving papers and I have a case against me! Its amazing how they feel like these threats are legit.

they did the same to me today, what ever happened?

they did the same to me today

I did too just now. They keep leaving messages on my main number. Any suggestions?

This company keeps calling my mom and harrassing her tlling her that if dont contact them they qre going to send the local authorities to serve me because they are taking me to court. They keep calling her at 5 or 6 in the morning, i finallu had enoigh of them and call them back this lady answered and i told her my nameshe started telling me everything about my personal business i told her to stop harrassong my mom thathat this was illegal, she got very defensive and stated she was going to serve me and sue me for fraud and that i was going to be responsible for any attorney fees and court fees and hung up, any advice you guys can give me.

File an FTC complaint against them...they are required by law (Fair Credit Reporting Act) to give you this information

I got that call today and asked him who it was..called the number back. File a FTC complaint against them. the more complaints they receive about this company, the sooner they will b out of business! Its illegal

File a complaint with the FTC. It is illegal what they are doing. They just called me today and told me that they were suing me. When i asked for an address to send a verification of account letter, Gina told me that she does not have to do that. WRONG! Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, any debt collector is mandated to send the information if the consumer requests it. Gina wouldn't even give me their address. File a complaint- get this joker operation closed down.

first and foremost they are also using 1-888-997-1173. They contacted me too, my mom, my niece looking for someone else so they are using nearbys to try and get whatever information they can.  If you speak to someone they HAVE to mini mirandize you if they don't - violation number 1.   It should go something like this:  this is an attempt to collect a debt, any information obtained for that reason......
If you do not owe the debt, send a cease and desist letter and for goodness sake SEND IT FEDEX OR CERTIFIED MAIL so you have record of it!!!  This may not stop them and if they continue, you file a complaint with the OAG office. Obviously you will have to have their address first. I would also file a complaint with www.acainternational.com.  Even though I looked and they aren't members, the ACA is fed up with these mock agencies who give the good agencies a bad name.  Keep a log of everytime they call, every message. The more leverage you have the better case you will have and then... you find an attorney who sues for FDCPA violations and harassment. There are plenty of them out there and they love the business!! I can provide names if you wish, but you don't have to look hard.  When suing you sue for attorney fees as well...don't let them get away with having you pay a cent!

Actually the law as stated does not require a collection agency to send a validation notices.  Most agencies do this as a courtesy.  However, if you ask for a itemized statement they do have to provide that to you so that you can validate the debt. Some may tell you to go back to the original creditor though because they are not provided with the backup documentation - which is a red flag. Any GOOD agency would go out of their way to help you resolve the debt.

The FDCPA prohibits and it is a direct violation of the FDCPA if a collector threatens litigation when they don't actually intend to do it.

They also use 855-822-0146, and a host of other names and numbers. They have been shut down in some states, and just move on to another. Currently they are operating out of an alleged law office in Georgia, and complaints have been filed with the GBI, as well as with the FBI (potential wire fraud) and the FTC (violation of the TPA and FDCPA). Almost all of what they do is in direct violation of the FDCPA, esspecially calling and leaving details about alleged debt with your relatives, friends, etc. and threatening arrest and/or lawsuit, neither of which they can actually do.

Until they are arrested this bad behavior will continue.Recent arrests have begun to have an effect on other scammers, like the infamous Patel companies in CA, but we all have to keep filing at least online complaints to keep the pressure on the new Consumer Watchdog agency and the FTC to put a stop to this nonsense

These people have called my work threating me with a court order for fraudulent check charges when I have not written a check to this company. The person calling me claims to be Inspector Atwood but when I return the calls no one there knows who I am talking about & then they ask for my social security # & when I refuse to give out that information they end the call. These people are a real piece of work & I feel our State Senators really need to do something about this. Our economy is in such a sad state of affairs right now. Senior citizens are being scammed out of there misally retirements it happened to my own mother who receives only $520 a month. That doesn't even cover the cost of groceries. So what are we the American society going to do about this issue. The people that keep calling are Jamaicans, very broken English. We need to ship them back to their underprivileged countries they are not our problems but they are causing more & more problems for us the American people.  

These people called my former employer and told a co worker that they needed to speak with me they called from a Miami 305 #. He said he was with Nationwide and he was a courier and was hired by URG to give me a susponea. David left a telephone 888-997-1189 with a case #. When she called me she said that David was going on about a legal matter that I had she told him very ubbrothly that  David need to speak with the person he was asking for He went on about needing to speak with the HR Depart as he need to tell them about the legal matter . WHAT LAW DO WE HAVE THAT PROTECTECT THE CONSUMER about junk like this???????

This is crazy behavior these people Nationwide / URG called my former employer and left a message that was so detailed my co-worker said stop you need to speak with the person that you are asking for. He Left his name David and was calling from a Miami 305 area code she did not get the whole phone number. David said that I need to contact URG as he was hired as a courier to give me a subpoena . That I should call this 888-997-1189 # with a case # . I BELEIVE THIS AGAINST THE LAW

I received a call from a Lauren indicating that I will need to contact 8669382863 I called and supposedly spoke with a supervisor who was extremely rude from urg,she wanted the whole amount due told her I could not pay that amount then she knocked the payment down and everytime that I would talk she would interrupt me. She had lauren call me at work which she was very rude and my employer stated that if she comes up here to serve me paper good luck.

I also am getting the same phone calls they contacted my family and said they were one person Malissa Garcia and then I spoke with a man Mr. Goldstein and then a woman called again and I just answer and tell them I'm waiting to be served so I cannot work to pay them their money lol I asked too where could I mail a money order too to pay this and they said I had to have a card and it clicked I remembered this debt was from 07 and that's why it never got paid because they always wanted a credit card never give any debt collector a card number

This company "urg" called saying I owe money for a payday loan from 2007. I told them to go [***] themselves and stop draining real people with real jobs. I dont owe anything like that.
