440-220-6337

Got a call from this dirt-bag using the same number. I reported him to the police.

Left a voicemail saying I need to hire an attorney, and God be with me during "this case "

Got a call stating there was a case against me, but doesn't say who he is calling. I'm not calling back just so he can continue to call me about something that isn't  pertaining to me.

this guy just called me and left a vouicemail telling me to have my attorney call him before the end of the day or else he (trent nelson) would submit my case.@@ i have no pending case.i don't have time for these people so thats why i just don't answer

received a call from a different number. states I am being sued, and also stated, that I have a criminal case against me. well, to his surprise, my husband is one of the district attorney's for the state of New York, and when I asked for legal documentations, the conversation turned from bad to insults, and again threats. they did not call back, until today 4/6/15. this number, do not answer back, do not get scared. Anything legal by law, does not matter the state, has to be done by mail and then submitted thru a local court system. BY LAW!!!

I receive a call from this number yesterday I call it back today and there telling me I am going to be arrested today if I don't pay $1,000.00 by the end of day and may God be with me. They could even let speaking to anybody else.

I just got the same VM from a Trent Nelson.  They just don't give up!  I called the court house there is no pending case!

this guy Trent Nelson just called me and left a vouicemail telling me to have my attorney call him before the end of the day or else he would submit my case. I called the court house and there is no pending case.  Do not call these people back!  They went as far as to start calling and harassing my stepson during high school of which whom is a minor!

Received a message from Trent Nelson stating that I am being sued for stealing and fraud. I called and I was told that they couldn't give me a court case number, they couldn't say who was suing me, and they couldn't negotiate. They did say I was going to be arrested....today. I asked "So why are you calling me?" To NEGOTIATE. These uneducated people calling are idiots. People this is a SCAM!! I work in the court system. You must be informed in writing. There has to be a court case number.
I decided to keep calling them. They began to become frustrated. I spoke with Mr. Davenport, Terry Anderson, Nancy, etc. They began to throw obsenities at me as if words could harm me. They begged me to stop calling harassing them.
Do as I did today and  I bet they won't call your number anymore.

Received a call from the 440 220 6337 saying he was a pre trial collector. He had all my information, and said if I refuse to pay that he will send notice to my state, and I will be arrested. Threatening me, saying I committed Fraud. I asked for over ten minutes what company it was suing me, finally gave me a name. I called and guess what, no collection. Ignore the call. Do not give out information.

Got a VM from Trent Nelson @ call back number 440-220-6337. Called the number back; the guy answered stating the VM was a pre-recorded message and was hesitant with information regarding the business details he was representing...this is indeed a scam, as a consumer you have rights to be informed regarding the collection agency information and the company supposedly initiating the sue. I called the number back after I googled it and learned this was a scam, sure enough no one answered however my went to VM. I conveyed a message of my own informing the jerk not to ever call my number again!

Same dirtbag as well  threatening me with legal issues and I would be "SORRY."

These people called my mom today threatening her, telling her I had a case against me etc... I have no civil or criminal cases against me. I called my county office and checked! The lady at the county office said it was a scam! If you are being sued or arrested you don't get a phone call notifying you ahead of time!! Don't answer the phone! Ignore! Scam!!

Huge scam!! Even called my boyfriend and scared the crap out of him!! Ignore all calls!

Got the same call today and the guy said he needed to hear from me or my attorney by the end of the day. Or I was gonna be sued. I have no cases or pending cases on me. Sounded like the guy was talking thru a diquiser microphone or something.

I also spoke to a Mr.Davenport that was very rude to me and stated that I would be arrested at work and serve 180 days in prison. He also stated that my child would be put in foster care if I didn't pay yesterday when he called. Who are these idiot people out here in the world!!!!?

What is he judge, jury, and executioner?  Even if it was true, he could not tell you what your sentence would be, that is up to the judge and is figured on several mitigating factors.  In any case, debt is civil not criminal.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Important information about  a case and we needed to call

These dirt bags called yesterday! They told me that my husband was being charged with fraud because we closed our bank account to avoid paying a payday loan. First, our bank closed the account 2 years ago. Second, we filed bankruptcy 2 years ago and it satisfied the 2 payday loans we had. When I told this "Trent Anderson" that we filed bankruptcy, he stuttered a bit and said "well, that satisfies the civil matter, but, not the criminal" you still need to pay the $1,355 by today or my husband would be arrested. Um, dude, seriously?!?! We don't have time for these dirt bags! We have worked so hard to turn our lives and finances around and you're not gonna come and screw that up!! I will be filing a complaint with the FTC today!

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
