800-381-1504

I get a call from this number by a person named Preston Lewis. The phone number he calls from is 801-335-5848 but leaves the 800-381-1504 number to call back. He has even hunted family members down. He calls from a law office. Have no clue what he wants. very aggressive jerk. States in in thebest interest for me to call back as he is on a limted time frame! WTF!!

I received a call and the msg said "I am calling in regards to someone who might be your family member. PLEASE call me back!"  I thought for a minute that someone in my family was in an accident and unable to communicate clearly or something horrible had happened!  Turns out, I call the number and it's a collection agency and they were looking for someone who used to have my new phone number. I thought that's ricidulous to leave an unsettling message basically LYING about what you're calling for!  How immature and unprofessional! Luckily, there is not legitimate reason for me to have to deal with these people!  They have a website that clearly shows they claim to be in collections.  lukejohnsonlewis.com

continuous calls but does not give any detail, just to call about a file

Calls and leaves message about some file . They don't state the name of a person addressing it to and the File number either.

same call to call back in 24 hr it a scam [***] they just want your money

I tried your link it only has 1 page I can't identify him or who he is affiliated with and the BBB says he has only been in business since 2011 and you link says 30 years what a crock...

keep calling unknown but leaves this num

Received the same call, do you continue to receive the calls?

Calls and never responds when I answer and doesn't leave a message

The office of Luke Johnson. Not a solicitation call. Been appointed to a situation of a sensitive nature. Matter is time sensitive issue which requires my immediate attention. Contact office at 800-381-1504. Blah Blah Blah.

I received call from Mr. Johnson, states this is not a solicited call and states all information has been documented.

Luke Johnson is NOT an attorney but a collections negotiator. LLC means limited liability corporation, it’s NOT a law degree. It’s AGAINST the law for collections agencies to misrepresent themselves as attorneys. File a complaint with BBB or FCC.

File a complaint with the most worthless, useless, toothless agency on the planet (the BBB) and a federal agency that has absolutely no jurisdiction over debt collectors (the FCC)?  How about reporting them to the proper federal and state agencies?

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:   https://800notes.com/faq/attorney-general

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

The above indicates that they have only been in business since 2011, so unless they are using some sore of math that no one has ever heard of, they have been in business 7 years not 30 or 38.

Looks like they were sued:
https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/6626 ... Lewis_LLC_et_al

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid. 

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

preston lewis called me said i had a loan outstanding with a company and they were in charge of collecting this debt made arrangements for three paymnents on the day first payment due he called left message that we had a problem the cc number he had to obtain the first payment from was incorrect i had given it wrong  called back left message that number was correct and to call me back no money taken from acct and he has not called back to day i get call from them again should i call back need advice thanks

Maybe you should read what BigA posted above - the information he posted tells you what you need to do.

Listen carefully to the message. The prerecorded message says "Luke Johnson..." and then quickly say the rest of the name "Lewis LLC" which they clearly want you to hear "lawyers llc" although these scum bottom feeders are NOT lawyers. I had to listen to it many times over and slow down the second part of the name, which is how I know they are trying hard for listeners to hear "lawyers llc" because the entire call message is at 1/32 tempo but the "Lewis llc" is done at 1/72 in tempo. They are a run of the mill collection agency.  Do not let them bully you! Obviously most people don't just stop paying their bills because it's fun and easy. Here's a thought: maybe not gouge those who hit hard times.  I get it's a business. But that doesn't mean it's right. So frustrating that it only causes more pain and makes it harder for the most vulnerable among us to gain any traction.

Received a call w/voicemail but no details about who/what/when.
