These calls are from a collection agency.  There is an employee, Eric Marshall who calls any number that he can access.  He leaves messages claiming that he is working on a State and County Investigation.  He gives you a phoney number that he claims to be a court docket number, it actually is his file number.  He tells you that you must appear in court the day he calls, and says if you do not appear, the decision is irreversible.  When you check the State and County clerks, they have no record of the number that this crooks gives you. If you get a call from these sleezy people, please call Federal Trade Commission and the New York Attorney General's Office and file a complaint. This method  of collection is illegal.

These people called me and told me that I had a pending legal matter and I needed to pay them immediately or I was going to go to court. I looked up the originating loan company and they no longer do business. If anyone has an address for these crooks, please post it here. They called my home phone, my cell phone and my wife's phone, this is out of control

I got a call from this number it was a guy named Mr. Knoles.  The place was Williams and Associates.  He told me that the matter he was calling about was a state and federal legal issue.  He said I had committed a crime and it involved the company I worked for also.  He said it involved them because I used my companies email address when I applied for an on-line payday loan.  He then recited my email address and it was my personal email address.  He sat and argued with me about it becoming more and more angry.  He then went on to say I was going to lose my job and my professional license.  He then faxed an employment verification form to the HR Department of my company.  They gave it to me and said they cannot release that info anyways.  The form wanted what my hire date was and what I make per hour, ect.  This was very upsetting.  It scared me but after researching the number I am angry that someone can gain access to so much personal info about another person.  Then call and use it to threaten you.  He said if I paid them 1,400.00 then things would be fine otherwise they would continue with legal proceedings and again stated I committed a crime and would lose my job and professional license.

Just got the exact same call word  for word. Said if i didnt cooperate I would lose my license and my name and social security number was used in a fraud case that was going being investigated. There was going to be a hearing in his office tomorrow April 5 &if I didnt cooperate the authorities would be notified. SCAMMERS!! I take no phone calls and will never commit to any sort of payment via phone or internet. Im ignoring the calls. I thought this type of collection was illegal in PA?

TO SINGLEMOM; DID YOU THINK IT WAS OK TO TAKE THE LOAN AND THEN BECAUSE YOURE SINGLE NEVER PAY IT BACK? I agree some debt collection tactics may be harsh, but if people just paid their bills they wouldnt have to worry about these practices. It does amaze me that people can take out loans and then whine about people calling them after they stiffed their lender.

well we have been receiving the same calls, these guys are very persistent in getting your money, they told us my wife used a work email, a state ID her driver's license and both would be brought up in county court for her using in a fraudulent matter.  I actually had them send an email to verify information, one of the people i talked with was Mr. Knoles as mentioned in other statements.  They advised me it was for Payday Services but couldn't be more specific.  The email stated a claim number beginning with X an account number, tried to make it look formal, claiming the ammounts and of course ended the email with no type of electronic signature.

Theses guys are slick, there saying my wife's debt was from 2008 and are now just calling to tell us about it.

you would think there smart enough to know, that if you were to go in front of a judge, they would have to subpoena you to court first, it's not like there going to just pick u and take you to court on the spot these guys are really pieces of work for sure.

Has anyone tried to contact them lately, there number is no longer in service? big surprise since it probably is a fraud, I would think they would contact if there info changed if it was a legit company.  I reported them to the better business bureau, but i never received an email confirming anything.  I'm stopping all payments to this company as soon as I found out the number is no longer in service.

The are now using the name Thomas Gregory and Klein for this address.

Thanks for the info.

I have gotten the same phone calls and I actually have their address:

William & Associates
3806 Union Rd., #2
Cheekpowaga, NY 14225
800.898.9454

there new phone number is 800.898.9454

I'm in consolidation and these folks are currently harassing my clients from 800-898-9454.  They are scammers in that they are in violation of FDCPA in quite a few ways.  Their primary violation is that they will claim not to be collectors.  They and other collectors of this type need not be paid if they cannot provide proper validation of the debts via US Mail.

In brief response to "they wouldn't call you if you'd have paid your debts".  These laws are in place for a reason.  Anyone harassing a consumer illegally and whining that they should be able to do so is still breaking the law, valid debt or otherwise.  DEBTS DO NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER CIVIL RIGHTS PEOPLE!
