714-888-6884

Called my mom said they were suing me. Im not even from cali. I keep calling and no answer got someone once they gave me a name of berry bradshaw then tranfered me which the call got picked up and it was ppl laughing then i got hung up on

I had the same thing happen to me. I got a message on my voicemail (no name listed on my voicemail just my phone number) saying that American Process Servers needed me to call and schedule a time to be served a summons to appear in court and the name on the case was Barry Bradshaw and to call 714-888-6884 to discuss this matter.....sounds fishy to me!

I have done every search possible and can find no information. I even talked to the law office of orange county. I think its fishy to.

Same thing happened to me and my husband.  Calling saying we were being summoned to court.  They even called my husbands job and told his office girls they needed information about him.  This is scary stuff!  Some poor person is going to get sucked into this and lose some money!

Just got a call saying I needed to call Fred Fitzgerald so they could deliver a summons to me and they didn't have a good home address. I've been at the same place for nearly 17 years, so I can't be that hard to find.

Yeah my brother just told me I got a call too. It sounds like a bill collector to me.

I received the call today from Legal Support Services trying to get my address because they were trying to serve a summons, but it was returned due to 'No Compliance'. They left a message to call a David Phelps at 714-888-6884 with a a reference number. I called the number and a woman answered, did not say who she works for, but asked how may I help you. I said the mentioned name and they forwarded me to his voicemail. Stone and Associates is the firm representing the reference number. I left a message so I can find out what is going on. Most likely a bill collector using the legal tactics scare so you can pay the overdue bill. I have records of all my bills, so let's hope this isn't a scam...

I also got a call and called the court house and checked.   The city that I live in told me it is illegal for them to call and say such a thing.   One thing to know if you are being sued by them they need to have the paper work and most debt collectors just by it.   Most do not have the paper work for it and fight them.   In order to sue you they have to have the proper paper work

I've dealt with these idiots before when they sued my wife over a $300 credit card.  Now they're calling me on a credit card.  I just got served this morning.  Who cares if the garnish me for $50 per pay check, thats all the judge let them get from my wife.  These idiots are a joke.

Saying they were suing me, he was Steven Steinwicke from finalization department, he was sending this out to the judge and since i say it is fraud, he is going to file a police report himself and if i am lying, i will be charge with filing a false police report, etc...threatening me with non compliance and failure to appear...I mean, come on...I told him it is fraud, I am going to report it to the credit bureaus and he continued to freak out ....freaking me out

I got a call from these people. Sterling and Phelps law office they said. The gentleman on the phone knew my information and said he'd be sending a letter about my payment schedule..

My husband had the same thing just now happen to him. Just said he was being sued and to call the number 714-888-6884. Crazy!

So, I just got a call from this number as well and it completely freaked me out. I'm glad I looked this up before going to pay it, I still can't tell if this is a legit company or not

I got a called at my moms house and my 16 yr old nephew answer and a Lisa Martin talk to him.  She told him that she was taking me to court (mind you he's only 16) and I had until 10am the next business morning to call her back before she appear in court.  Two years ago, these same ppl done the same thing to me, I comply pay them, and call back for a reference number once i got down to the last payment, and the number was change.  After that, I moved, change my number, and vow to never do that again.  It is creepy and they do try to scare you in the worse way.  Stick to your guns ppl.  These pple have game.  Deal with the bill collector yourselves if you can.  Good Luck...

Received a message asking to call this number, I did and they do not tell you who they are, what it is in reference to.  They said this was a civil matter.  (?)  Okay I never heard, received anything until this phone call.  Sounds extremely suspicious.

Scare tactics  should not be allowed.They are saying that Im being summoned to court , Im not being summoned by any court, I have been at home and no one has shown up here.

OK so I've been harassed by these idiots for a few weeks now.. What i don't get is that I've updated my address with them, TWICE, & they cant seem to reach me? They call my job every other day, informing them im being issued a summons.. That is defiantly NOT COOL!! Im sure this is a scam as i felt it was from the beginning.. What also gets me is that the number they call me from is BLOCKED.. And the address they have "on file" is my OLD address.. OF COURSE I'm not home to get it!! Stupids!!

glad to know im not the only one getting these scary calls. isnt this illegal? two different ones. lisa martin and david phelps. threats also. said to call stone and asso at 714-888-3392. threats to my property. told to call within 24 hrs

I am so glad I googled and found this site. I just had the same thing happen to me this morning. Someone from American Process Servers called me at work and said they had been hired by this Barry Bradshaw character to serve me a summons to appear in court. Then they gave me a number to call him back at 714-888-3392. Called and got nothing but voicemail.....this can't possibly be right. Can't something be done about this type of thing? This has had me stressed all morning and of course they never showed up!

Hi All,
American Process Servers, Legal Assets Recovery, etc. are a legitimate debt collector, however, their behavior is illegal and inappropriate. I was even cursed out today for pointing out how they are in violation of several parts of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Debt_Collection_Practices_Act

Prohibited conduct

The Act prohibits certain types of "abusive and deceptive" conduct when attempting to collect debts, including the following:

   * Hours for phone contact: contacting consumers by telephone outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time[8]
   * Failure to cease communication upon request: communicating with consumers in any way (other than litigation) after receiving written notice that said consumer wishes no further communication or refuses to pay the alleged debt, with certain exceptions, including advising that collection efforts are being terminated or that the collector intends to file a lawsuit or pursue other remedies where permitted[9]
   * Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously: with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number.[10]
   * Communicating with consumers at their place of employment after having been advised that this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer[11]
   * Contacting consumer known to be represented by an attorney[12]
   * Communicating with consumer after request for validation has been made: communicating with the consumer or the pursuing collection efforts by the debt collector after receipt of a consumer's written request for verification of a debt made within the 30 day validation period (or for the name and address of the original creditor on a debt) and before the debt collector mails the consumer the requested verification or original creditor's name and address[13]
   * Misrepresentation or deceit: misrepresenting the debt or using deception to collect the debt, including a debt collector's misrepresentation that he or she is an attorney or law enforcement officer[14]
   * Publishing the consumer's name or address on a "bad debt" list[15]
   * Seeking unjustified amounts, which would include demanding any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under applicable law[16]
   * Threatening arrest or legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated[14]
   * Abusive or profane language used in the course of communication related to the debt[10]
   * Communication with third parties: revealing or discussing the nature of debts with third parties (other than the consumer's spouse or attorney)[17] (Collection agencies are allowed to contact neighbors or co-workers but only to obtain location information;[18] disreputable agencies often harass debtors with a "block party" or "office party" where they contact multiple neighbors or co-workers telling them they need to reach the debtor on an urgent matter.[19])
   * Contact by embarrassing media, such as communicating with a consumer regarding a debt by post card, or using any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram, except that a debt collector may use his business name if such name does not indicate that he is in the debt collection business[20][21]
   * Reporting false information on a consumer's credit report or threatening to do so in the process of collection[22
