210-774-4150

called told me that my husband was going to be arrested if he didn't call them back saying its in regard to a litigation they have againist him first I have heard of it they were very rude and demanded he call them back today by end of business day when I said I wanted to know what this was in regards to they said NO and hung phone up in my ear.

SCAM ----IF your husband was in trouble, a process server would show up unannounced.  It is also illegal to threaten arrest. This would be a civil matter anyway!   Would an honest, professional company hang up on you??

called me too. A bunch of crap. Wanted me to give them some money or I will have a warrant out for my arrest.

called me and said I wrote a bad check and would be arrested.

Realizing it was a scam I kept calling them back after they hung up on me several times

Debt is not a criminal offense.

Just got a call from them and below is the message they left. I didn't call back. Figured I would google the number first which brought me here.

"This is James Thompson with pre-trial
intervention. You have a pending case in our office that needs your immediate attention. I need to speak with you or your attorney of record immediately today. My number is 2107744150. If I do not hear from you or your attorney. I will document that you wave your right to counsel and submit your case. Cover yourself accordingly."

I recevied the same message, stating i would be arrested by my local authorities if i did not either a)give them the settled amount or b) have my lawyer call them by end of business day. Im from NY why would a TX company be calling me?

I just got the same exact message about 15 minutes ago. This is crazy!

Jus got the same message as Miss did exactly word for word.

They just called me and said the same exact thing. I've never lived in Texas so Im not worried about that. He said someonehas a lawsuit on me... I guess.

I just got the same exact message, exact word for word. This is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got the same exact message. Exact, word for word.....ugh!

I got the same call from 2107744130. I don't live in Texas or do I write checks. I just got a voice mail as I didn't pick up. Didn't get a name of the person they asked to speak to me they never said my name or my attorney. Told me to call back immediately and good luck. They were from a check fraud division. This is a scam right

Got the same exact message 5min ago. Wow these people

Just got the same voicemail as Miss....Pathetic...

They must be in need of fresh blood....

You didn't sign a contract with them and therefore do not owe them! In tx if the original lender could not collect on the debt it is considered bad debt! Don't settle with ANY debt collector because it won't b removed from your credit if it ISNT the original lender! Tell them do it! They can't! Bad checks? They aren't the payday loan people and most sates will do nothing with payday loans because they are guilty of 1 kind of fraud or anither

I was told the same thing. I asked for a copy of the debt they said they couldn't provide it

I have my lawyer acting on my behalf to get to the bottom of what this actually is, and if this is a legitimate claim. He doesn't think so, but they are making jump through the normal hoops

>> they are making jump through the normal hoops <<

Is that what your "lawyer" is claiming?
IF so .... hmmmm.

Y'see, in order to validate the debt, the collector MUST send you a snailmailed "validation notice" letter, within five days of first contact.  The collector must do that ... all you or your lawyer have to do is wait.

Is you lawyer charging by the hour to wait for that letter, or is a "friend" pretending they are a TV lawyer?

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:

* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.   ["Written" means snailmailed ... not emailed or texted]
