844-891-9269

someone named Dave Williams says a message about a potential complaint against my step son. left this number. son is responsible. no idea what this is.

recieved a message that there may be a complaint about me.  same number 844-891-9269.  seems like a scam

caller id had it listed as mvp and associates  caller id number was 623-242-5009

The user called looking for a relative I'm not responsible for. Not sure what they wanted

When I got the voicemail and figured it was a scam when they didn't say their company name. Double checked the number just in case.

caller called and could not spell the name of there company. He was laughing and was short not wanting to give out to much info. He gave a claim number and stated that he had court dates that he need to give to the person they were looking for, Has to be a scam. If the court was looking for this person they would contact that person by certified mail or have them served. " silly people "

Got a similar call from Dave Williams. Directed to my ex wife of 27 years ago, using her remarried name, about "a case that may be filled against her". "Time sensitive matter". I don't have caller ID so I don't know where the call originated but she was told to call 623-242-5009. Mumbled something about "notified" but it sounded more like he cut off early rather than my answering machine. If I google my name and go to the links, she comes up as related along with families of families twice removed. That's probably where they are sourcing the connection.

Long history of debt scamming on 800notes.

So do you believe this is a scam the same number is trying to get my mom to go to court over a bank account she opened in 2010 with US Bank and she overdrafted the account by $400 but the thing is she has never had a bank account with US Bank.  They said she has to be in court tomorrow but we don't even know what court!!!

Just received a call about a complaint. Saying there is a case and gave a case #. Pretty sure this is a scam. Same thing happened last summer.

Same number called

They left me the same message using my maiden name that I haven't used in over 9 years. I called back the number listed and they were talking about an account with US bank that I have never even opened. They wanted 300 to clear an account that I supposedly owe.

got the same all called, googled Kaplan and associates and called the number they said they receive calls from people at least 3 times a week reguarding calls from so called "Kaplan associates". the real Kaplan associates said they have called the police and made complaints against them but they wont change there name and they have nothing to do with them, but there caller id says "mvp" is it a scam I paid 300$ called by bank and they are investigating

They said I had a debt from 5 five years ago supposedly with Wells Fargo and was being sued for $1500 but would settle for $400 and I could pay in installments. Pretty sure this is a scam. The information they had for me did not match up. Had a message left from a female who said her name was Audrey Santos and spoke on the phone with some dude who said his name was Don Smith.

A phone call, email or text message from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.

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 - US Mail ... not emailed or texted]

Source:
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via Green Dot, MoneyGram, Western Union, prepaid gift card or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.

IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit  the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

these people are scamming the [***] out of va  they called last year and again they called today trying to collect a debt of $800.00 they saID I OWED TO A CHECK INTO CASH told me a case number and threatened court if i didnt settle today! said this was a debt from 2010 that they bought. I know there scamming ppl but it bothers me greatly that they are pulling this off with some of the elder folks here. I mean come on who threatines an 80 yr old lady that she is going to jail if she dont settle a debt! these ppl deserve hell, anyone who threatens an old lady like that should be put in jail themselfs for this [***]! [ OH AND BTW THERE CALLING FROM A NEW NUMBER THIS TIME. 1-844-241-2202, BY THE NAME OF JIM MORGAN FROM KPL AND ASSOIATES.

I got the SAME person,  he made the typical threats.  Running his mouth as if he was a Big Boy. shouting, and bullying. Not gonna happen Pal. here is a NEW number they are using 844-275-1640.BTW They cannot threaten ANYBODY with jail, or pretend to be an Attorney,  Thats fraud. Check to see if the statue of limitations on the debt has expired. If it has,  they have no legal right to collect on it. Even if you go to court over it,  tell the Judge the SOL has lapsed. You may have to SHOW proof so Go online to see what your state has for time frames on those debts. They will try to collect from a dead person they are so desperate. Makes me sick , You can report them to the FTC and the Attorney General for violations of the fair debt collections. C. F. P. B. If they harass,  or make Threats,  or continue to do so. If they contact me again thats EXACTLY what I'm doing.  They're unethical collection attempts,  and High pressure tactics NEED TO BE STOPPED.

These people say i owe a Allied they have called my family and threatened my son i am unemployed at the moment
