855-546-9125

I got a call from this number this morning and they left a message stating that I am being named a defendant, and that if I don't want to be pulled into a lawsuit and pay additional court fees and the maximum penalty allowed by law, I must call them today and set up a payment arrangement.  If I don't, then I am going to have an officer show up at my place of business to serve me papers, etc.  I don't owe anyone any money, and I contacted my local Attorney General's office and they said that this is a scam.  Do not return calls to these people, they are trying to scare people into paying money that they don't owe.  The Attorney Generals office stated that if this was a real case against me, I wouldn't get telephone warnings about being served, that a sheriff would have just shown up and served me papers.  If you get calls from these people, call and turn them in!!!!!

This number harassed me into setting up a payment plan for a phone bill in 2011 that I don't even remember! They even sent a cop to my house and arrest me! Now I have to call my bank and attorney general to resolve it!

A police officer came to arrest you for a civil debt after you set up a payment plan.  I believe you are trying to scare people so you can steal from them.  Shill lately?

anonymous from NJ is one of the scammers.  In the US you don't get arrested for debt.  Also, attorney general is a public official, not a private lawyer.

I'm trying to let people know this number is a scam and that's exactly what happened.The point is be well informed before giving out any information.

that's why it's a scam! Why would they send a cop or threaten you?! Attorney general is better than a lawyer to get them to stop!

Got a call that showed up only as Out of area on the caller id. They asked for me when I answered and I politely told them "he's not here, may I take a message?" The chick said her name was Ashley Simmons from Imperial Processing Solutions and I needed to call her back at 855-546-9125 extension 210. Feel free to call and harass her like Im thinking about doing now that I know it's a scam.

LMAO..yeah right.

its a scam, no one can be arrested over a debt in America..no one

I received a call from a local number. The automated caller left a message stating: "Your name and location information have been attached to a civil complaint filed with the county. Press 1 now to speak with a live representative, or call 1-855-546-9125 to schedule service of process."

I received a similar call the day before with a different but similar message.

Total scam.

Anonymous-YOU are probably part of the scam.

Report this number to the Consumer financial Protection Bureau.

No cop just shows up at a place of residence to hand out tickets for non-payment of debts.

Get a life, you moron!!

They called my father trying to get a hold of me and know it is a scam. Being it is around tax time these scammers pull up your relative information on the Internet and hurass them too

they just left an automated message stating that there is a civil complaint attached to my name and social security number and to call 855-546-9125. This is my work it's embarrassing.

I just received the same message on my cell phone.

I got a call for my husband for a debt from long ago they left a massage stating that my husbands name was attached to a civil suit I called back they told me if I didn't give them a thousand dollars within an hour they were sending someone to appraise my house so they can put a lien on it! Thank god I have a lawyer and I come from a family full of cops anyway called lawyer he said its a scam tell them to come with a court order! Said only the IRS... government or mortgage company can put a lien on your home!  I called a Mrs.johnson back and she said I can't believe your lawyer gave you that kind of info I said yes he did she said your willing to lose your house for a thousand dollars I said first of all I have a homestead which means they can't touch it second he knows the law! Just then my lawyer called back I told her to hold so he can talk to her she said okay by the time he got to the phone she hung up! The next day I told my son and uncles who are all police officers so they had me call back so the call could be recorded and later traced the man that answered kept asking who I was finally when I told him he was gonna be recorded he hung up! The APD said it's a total scam so if imperial processing calls just tell them you know it's a scam and stop calling! Report it to APD! Even my sons friend who is a female officer said they called her too and she said no way am I falling for this! Be careful out there scammers are scum and have no heart!

Total clap trap.  Being in debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.  Your bank and the AG would have nothing to do with a phone bill.    Do you think we are ALL stupid?

ID themselves as "Imperial Processing Division.   Division of what, they don't say.  Total debt scammers.

No debt validation, no debt. It's that simple.

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).

Being in debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.  Police are not involved in ordinary civil debt.  Who, exactly, are you trying to fool?

I received a call from Imperial Processing Solutions from phone number 707-470-0769, that automated system said they have a payment that was return and I had now been named in a legal suit. I could press #1, to speak to a representative or call back at a number I couldn't write down as the automated lady said it to fast. I looked into the number and it is a company in the Sacramento area that helps you move, but when I call the 470-0769 it is a lady that says you have reached Imperial Processing Solutions. I am sooooo sick of these people. And why do we the victims have to be the ones who continually are working on trying to get these scammers to stop but it does NO good. They will never get them, I am sure they are not even in this country and they will not go overseas to take them down... So sick of the BS....
