216-393-0456

called and left a message at a relatives home mentioning a subpoena as me as the repondent about a case in a county I have not lived in in 9 years. Listed a case number that does not appear on the County website.

iWAS CONTACTED ON 5/23/07 IN REFERENCE TO SOME "PENDING CASE " I CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO; HE SAID TAKE IT TO COURT. HE ADVISED ME THAT I WOULDN'T RECEIVE A SUMMONS AND THAT THIS SOME COLLECTION AGENCY TRYING TO COLLECT AN OUTDATED DEBT. EXACTLY 2 WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A SUMMONS AND WAS SUED FOR 8725.43. THE PRINCIPLE BALANCE WAS ONLY 5674.33. I WISH I WOULD'VE SETTLED THIS WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

i was contacted by an investigator regarding a civil complaint regarding a loan that i had taken out, i was offered an opportunity to resolve this matter be for it went to court.  i told them that they could do what they wanted to do because i was not paying this matter because it was on behalf of my ex husband, within 48hr i had a sheriff at my door serving me with a summons  for court and i am due to go to court 8/16/07, when i called back to try to resolve matter they could no longer speak with me.  i don't know what i am going to do now because i do not have any money to retain myself an attorney.

I received a call from this agency and was threatened.  Guess what?  They had the wrong person!  They were "fishing" and became combative when I demanded to know who they were.  I was cussed at and called names by one of the males working for them.

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS # STATING THAT THERE WAS A CIVIL COMPLAINT FILED.  THE WOMAN OFFICER BUCANNON (SP) STATED THAT WE HAD A DEBT FROM OVER 10 YEARS AGO GOING TO COURT.  THEY DID HAVE PERSONAL INFO.  WRONG ADDRESS THOUGH. SHE COULDN'T EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS WASN'T SHOWING ON ANY OF OUR CREDIT REPORTS IF IT'S A COLLECTION. SHE GAVE ME THE TOTAL WE OWED WHICH WAS OVER $3000 BUT THERE'S AN ATEMPT TO SETTLE OUT OF COURT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1000.  WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE AND GO TO COURT IF WE HAVE TO BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS ISN'T OUR DEBT, LET THEM WASTE THEIR MONEY :-).    I HAVE ALSO NOTIFIED A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS A LOCAL DETECTIVE AND WILL LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS CALL. I FEEL WE ARE A VICTIM OF FRAUD, THE CHARGE THAT THE SO CALLED ATTORNEY "ROBERT GOLDSTEIN" (WOMAN WOULDN'T GIVE ME HIS #)IS CLAIMING ISN'T OURS.  

AS TO THE PREVIOUS STATEMENTS ABOVE MINE...THE WOMAN REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH INFO ABOUT THE COMPLAINT AND WHAT EXACTLY I WAS GETTING SUED FOR..  SHE WAS "FISHING". SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE IS HIRED BY THE ATTORNEY TO FIND OUT INFO.  IT'S KIND OF FUNNY HOW ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE FROM THE PAST COUPLE DAYS.  MAYBE THIS IS A NEW TYPE OF SCAM GOING AROUND.  TRYING TO THREATEN PEOPLE WITH COURT IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WILL SETTLE.  I'M GOING TO CONTACT THE LOCAL NEWS STATIONS AND THEY CAN START THEIR OWN "INVESTIGATION" INTO THESE PEOPLE. IF THIS IS A SCAM THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILY.

I just received a call today saying the same thing about a civil complaint filed. I have no clue what it is about. If anyone knows how to deal with this I would love some advice!!!

I had a terrible day today due to the call from 216-393-0456 saying something about getting a criminal warrant for arrest.  Like so many posts here, they have the WRONG PERSON!!!  I called my local police department and an officer came to my home to listen to the message.  He said the message did not violate any crminal laws but he recommened that I file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  I encourage all of you to do the same.  So far I am the first person who has ever complained about the company at BBB.  You can logon to www.bbb.org and search for the Firm "Robert Goldstein & Associates".  They are based in 6100 Oaktree Blvd., Independence, OH 44131.  

The officer also mentioned that I may want to call back and tell them that they have the wrong person.  I called and tried to explained that I am not the person they are looking for.  The conversation became heated and a string of profanities came from the "receptionist".  I tried calling back and asked to leave a voice mail for Robert Goldstein, but the receptionist blurted another string of profanities before hanging up on me and threatened legal action if I ever called back.  Funny isn't it.  At least I gave them a dose of their own medicine; repeated unwanted phone calls.

If you are frustrated like me.  Contact BBB and complaint.  Those folks need to learn to do their homework before randomly fishing for names.

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the company is so new that BBB does not have an official link for complaint.  You can just send an email to the OHio BBB office and
summarize your issue with Robert Goldstein & Associates.  People united, we will prevail!!!

Send email to info@Cleveland.BBB.org

Mention your complaint is again:
Robert Goldstein & Associates
6100 Oaktree Blvd.
Independence, OH 44131
(216)393-0455
(216)393-9240

I should also let you know another thing the officer told me.  He told me that the collection agency can't just go off and get a criminal arrest warrant.  They need to first establish the case in a civil court.  A judge will not sign an arrest warrant that easily.

I am going to contact the Ohio Bar as well as the State's attorney general's office to monitor closely those idiots' business practice.

called by 216-373-1461 lead investigator and told to call 216-393-0456.  Nicol Morgan said I was being charged with a class E felony for failure to pay a c.c. I never owned.  I contacted the c.c. company and there is no record of me or of litigation with Robert Goldstein.  Robert Goldstein is too new with the Ohio BBB to have complaints on file, but the company NAAIB with the same address and phone number has numerous complaints that they have not responded to.

Hey these guys are busy now. I just got a call re: a civil case vs. me (I told them I was someone else, expecting it to be a scam). The person who called me "Jason McKay", says he's an Investigator with International Asset locators (i.e. Collection Company). I brushed him off and will await a future contact again. I have a very common name and wonder if that is part of the scam to, to get you to open the file and then you are hooked.

i received a phone call from the same number two days ago--they had the wrong number but the person they wanted to speak with does live in my building...what to do?

I just got off the phone with them and they had some of the correct information.  They called looking for my husband that has a very popular name.  Some of his information she had was right  but when I asked her his social she did not have that right.  The town she was saying this charge was from we have not lived there in over 10 years and the company she is claiming she is calling on behalf of we claimed them in a bankruptcy.  Also it never showed on our credit report.  We just bought a house a year ago...so where was this.  Think I am going to contact my local police and do a reverse phone number check.  All beware!!!  Do not give them any information!!!  Fish for what they have!!!
