866-743-2836

8667432836 is a scam. Do not pay them anything. Do not give them any information. They use fake tactics like telling you that there's a judgment against you. They spook the caller ID sometimes showing numbers for local police departments or county clerk's number. They want you to pay them with a credit card or prepaid card. Don't do it!! It's a major scam. They bought your name from an old list and are using your personal info to extort money from you. Contact your local police department and file a report.

I called the number back and a Sally Thompson answered

I just paid them for an account that i did open and did not pay. I was unsure at first if i should pay them but i called the company that gave me the loan and they forwarded me to another company that purchased the account and then to another and then finally talked to the company and they told me they were the company i needed to pay. I do not know what you are talking about, they were very helpful and gave me a great deal to pay now. It sounds like you like to blame others and take responsibility for your own actions. You cant even use your name , let me guess you voted for obama. This company is legit

Hmmmm... first poster mentions some pretty specific violations, yet you paid them simply because they told you to?  If they're so legit, did they validate the debt before you paid?
I smell a shill here.  Your political comments do not help your case.

I called the company i borrowed the money from and they directed me to the company , but i believe i already said that. You read what you want and not what i wrote. That smell must be you and your BS. When the company i got the money from tell me where to go thats all the validation i need. I took the money , lost my job and didnt pay, got a new job and payed what i owed. Its not rocket science.

After reading such transparent lies as your I had to wipe the slime off my monitor.

These people bought my name from Ace Cash Express. I have never owed them money; I used to cash an out of state paycheck there. I asked them in November to send me proof of the debt in writing- which is the law.They sent me a letter; I contacted Ace and sent back there statement that I had no debts with them...ever.No charge offset; no payday loans.Nothing.  I called to follow up and they said my name would be removed.Six months later they are back again.This is the 4gh go around.They have called family members and my employer.I am filing with the attorney general and contacting an attorney. At 1000 per call I will be wealthy.

they told me they are holding an arrest warrant for me and if I don't give them my credit card info they will have police arrest me.  But wouldn't say who they are or what this was all about

I got a call from this number today 866-743-2836 stating her name was SALLY THOMPSON with Sam & Associates. She stated she was trying to collect a 2008 debt from my son, if he didn't pay she was going to have to file a Notice onf Intent. I contacted my lawyer and she asked me to get something in writing before we paid this debt. I called SALLY THOMPSON back and gave her my email and she agreed she would send me that informaion. Minutes later she called to say she couldn't send me the information I requested becacuse I was a third party. Strange she didn't think I was a third party when she called my cell phone looking for a payment. My lawyer then called for an address to submit a letter in writing, they refused to give her an address. My lawyer was told they only accept debit card or credit card which was strange. I called back to get an address and spoke with a Mr. VETO, he gave me the name of the company and address- South Atlantic Money Mgmt (Same & Associates), 169 W. Prospect Rd, Suite #15, Oakland, FL 33309, which I dont think is the correct address. I will look this street name up and call a business on that street to see if it a legal store front business. These people are SCAMMERS!!!! When you question them, they over talk you, and hand up on you if talk like you know the law regarding your rights on debt collectors. I'm reporting this number to FL BBB. If you get a call from this number please post your complaint and call to report them. Don't send them any money, ask for the CREDITORS name you owe the debt too and see what they say.

Bottom line - any caller who refuses to MAIL (not email or fax) a debt validation letter to you proving that you owe them a debt, and that they are licensed to collect in your state - is a scammer.  DO NOT PAY THEM!  Read about the FDCPA and learn your rights as a consumer.

you sound like a fool, oh excuse me fool is a strong term, if you voted for an alienfrom space what does that have to do with fair credit act?

"Musta voted for Obama" is this year's shorthand for "deadbeat who wants something for nothing". From debt collection thugs it's meant to be an insult, even as it describes most of them quite well.

Obtaining validation isn't your problem as an alleged debtor, something you would know if you had read your controlling laws rather than blindly following what passes for compliance training in your collection shop.

I received a call on behalf of my daughter, The man stated that his name was Marshal Baker, he stated that he need to speak with my daughter I told him that my daughter was not available, and that if he could sent this debit in writing, so that I could give it to her, he stated that he could not because it was Third Party. I told him that per the debit counselors that we needed it in writing he refused. I told him to stop calling if he could not provide me with the information. He stated that he would not and he hang-up on me. He has also been bugging my family member too. It does sound like a scam even if it is a third party collector they should be able to send you something. Now a days you have to be careful.

I have been getting this samething.   They refuse to send anything because it is time sensitive.  They are also telling me that they are in the pre litagation department and cannot send me anything.  I ask them to give me the information and I would call the client they are talking about but they tell me there is no time for that.  The gentleman says he is from Sam and Associates and have been calling for about a month.  They want a payment by phone and keep telling me that they don't want me to deal with the results if there client files on me.  Again I told them to send me debt violadation letter but again refuse .  Said the amount owed was from 2008.  Just seeing what I should do,

Listen you imbecile... Marshal Becker was only doing his job! I have dealt with him for paying off a debt that was from 2009. After being hesitant in giving any information and correctly identifying myself (and frankly me being very rude to him) he maintained self control, was very professional and explained that he needed to verify last four of social security number due to third party disclosure. Mr. Becker ALSO explained that the debts from Cash Advance had been outsourced to private collections explaining debts are sold to outside collection agencies. I was concerned being that he wanted to collect on this debt and he gave me ALL THE INFORMATION that I needed to trace this debt. Explaining he would hold for 48 hrs and if I had questions to contact him, which of course I did. After several calls to him and BOTH of us researching he indeed helped me realize that the company he worked for was legit and actually very helpful in clearing this matter up. NEVER ONCE was he rude, unprofessional nor threatening. NEVER did he state he was taking me to court, NEVER did go outside of FDCPA guidelines. YES he DID phone family members, BUT with as many times as I had changed my number how else would he get in contact with me.  REALIZE he HELPED clear this matter AND my credit issues. Each debt paid off there is one you can take to Credit Bureaus to help increase your credit rating. Your an IDIOT if you feel he did something wrong... by NOT giving you information and mailing it to you being you were NOT the debtor... THAT you deadbeat enabler would have been a HUGE violation. READ the ACT. I would ask to deal with Mr. Becker if I were you all.... even though I owed the debt he never questioned my integrity. THREE THUMBS UP for customer service and professionalism. I PAID HIM.. if you OWE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW who owes should as well.

Anyone who uses the term "pre-litigation" is a scammer.

And ONE FINGER UP to the transparent shill!

(three thumbs... must be either a polydactyl or an alien)

No, you are the imbecile here. , you show up out of the blue and start calling people names and typing in caps.   You sure seem to know a lot about this company and are very anxious to defend them.   How can you validate that Edna is a "deadbeat enable" .  You are a complete MORON if you think someone should pay one cent to someone who can't valiadate a debt.

Here is some research for you
