Left a voicemail about a business matter involving me. They knew my name but it was hard to make out theirs. I think it's said Barnes, Thornburg and associates.

Automated message. Knew my name, claimed to be from a law firm with important information. Have called everyday for last few days.

Called me too and message was very hard to understand told me to go to a quiet place so i could here their message. Who are these people?

Yes they call me today as well who are these people??

this number called me and left the same message. the first time i called it had a recording stating a legal matter was filed under my name and prompted me to call another number. When I called that number it was a disconnected number. When i called the "associates" again, they stated i had a civil suit filed against me and they had the last 4 of my social and last 4 of my OLD bank acct. They stated from a debt collector called Account Resolutions. I told them i'll go ahead and wait for the "suit" papers to come. They said oohhh ok, and hung up. If anyone has ever taken out a payday loan that is most likely what this is. I have been doing research and apparently, payday loan companies sell your info to these people. Weather you have a debt or not. I do not have a debt and they are stating I do from 2011. (i have bank statements and I never received a payday loan for $500 nor have I ever asked for a payday loan in that amount). Just to inform everyone, companies can not attempt to collect a debt beyond 5 years. Keep in mind people, lawyers are supposed to inform you writing via USPS either certified mail or regular mail. So this is a fake company trying to scare you and get your information. I'm sure many of you know, debt collectors call you once a month and send you letters in the mail. I have never received anything and i check my credit religiously. Back in 2011 I applied for a payday loan and it was paid 2 weeks after, like most payday loans. These are tricksters. BE CAREFUL. SAY NOTHING, GIVE THEM NO INFORMATION. TRY TO RECORD THE CONVERSATION, BUT BEFORE RECORDING YOU MUST STATE YOU ARE RECORDING THE CONVERSATION. THEY MAY BE "LAWYERS" BUT THEY AREN'T YOU LAWYERS SO IT SHOULD BE OK TO RECORD. i have kept track of everything in case they try this. i recorded conversations and the phone numbers. i reversed looked up these numbers and the notes all say SPAM CALLER. Just let them talk and you record. i am warning everyone because this needs to be stopped.

They did the exact same thing to me. When I would not give him my payment , he said I needed to have two forms of I.D. ready because two police officers would come to my job and serve  me papers. I continued to ask them to email me the information he refused to and begin making threats. So I final said ok will I will just see you in court. He has not called back since.

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).

Thanks for the information!!!!

They stated I was being sued for a product I never received and the only said they were Barnes Thornburg Association.

Same happened to me. I called back and they just wanted me to make a payment for something I don't know and they won't send me any info about.  So I googled Barnes thorndale . they r a legitimate lawfirm. Called their main office in Indianapolis . 317-236-1313. Secretary took my name and pH Nr. Than a lawyer called me , assured me that they have no case against me . he said it most likely is a scam .I gave him all the info I could about the phone call . they will investigate and try to catch these guys because nobody is allowed to use their name. So please call the real Barnes thorndale and give them all the info you can so they can catch these scammers.

Sorry . its Barnes Thornburg . I don't know why I wrote thorndale . its Barnes Thornburg.

Just filed a complaint with consumerfinance.gov. I went thru this a year ago with these same people and now again and I'm fed up with this crap. Let the feds deal with them now.

Just reported them calling every day trying to get a payment for a payday loan that I didn't agree to

This company called me, said they were from Barnes and Thronburg law firm representing Bahama marketing group and EP processing. A man named Daniel Powers screamed at me for several minutes until my employer took over the call (he promptly told her to shut her big F****** mouth...she is a physician) they threatened to have me arrested for "fraudulent malicious bank fraud" and demanded 600 dollars immediately. THIS IS A SCAM DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING!!!! How can people get away with this!? They had all my banking information and social security number, it is a nightmare!

Remember, when criminals such as these call, make sure they know that you are aware of your rights:
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Number is 855-281-8096

Called 7 times claiming a civil action against me for a loan from GTI

I recieved a phone call from this number 3852223771 that a supena is in my name for a payday loan h his name is daniel powers i see he called other people with same scam how we s_top the calling

Just got a phone call from the same person daniel powers who in the hell is this scammer

Two different numbers have called me everyday for the last two weeks and to tell you the truth they had me scared at first but then I went to thinking I don't owe no company for a payday loan, they said that they will serve me at my job I was like really, everything you said in  your complaint is the same thing they said to me, this is not a nice scam to do it's very mean and I wished that they would get caught because some people actually pay these people.
