I been receiving calls from this number asking for a payment due to unknown company...

This is a private debt collector, contracted by the local District Attorney to try to collect on bad checks. They are calling you, because they don't have your address to send a notice. If they don;t have your address, they can't send a notice, and can't collect.

Google "American Corrective Counseling Services" and you will read all about this company-that has multiple class action suits against them.

They are now National Corrective Group, having filed bankruptcy before due to all the lawsuits, for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices act.

Or, they are scamming you.  Sounds like BS to me.   However, your post poses a question...why would a District Attorney contract to a company that's been sued so many times that they had to close down and reopen under another name?  Sounds SOMEHWAT FISHY to me.  Same scam, different number.

They asked me why I was calling.

They called me telling me they had 4 bounced checks from me and they were with something official something or another and needed my address to validate it..

I informed him that I don't own checks and haven't written any.. He said "well im looking at four checks right here" and I said "I don't care if you are looking at 4 clowns, it doesn't mean they are mine"

lol

DONT give your info to these people..sounds tooooo dangerous

I received a call from 800-850-2556, The person calling identified himself as a prosecuting attorney looking for a Richard Mick. He sounded very authoritative. I know of a Richard Mick, and I referred him to his sister, giving him her phone numbers. I now question the motive behind this call.

I am getting hang-up calls from this number.

Called looking for a former employee. Given the history of that particular employee, can only assume it was a collection company.

calls asking for someone else, tells me to call another number, gives me a reference #

I received numerous calls from this number over a three week period picked up by my answering machine and caller ID.  They never left a message.  I finally was home this morning and picked up the call.  It was a guy with maybe a British or colonial accent.  He asked for Nika Yesu.  I asked what for?  He asked if Nika is there.  I asked why he was calling my phone to reach this person he said that he didn't know and would have my number removed from his list.  I asked him his name and where he was calling from.  He hung up.

These people have called here several times with one message, some lady who I couldn't understand with a reference number which I couldn't understand, just mummbling and sounded a little scamming to me, just remember don't give out any info. important info that is. If they are a true agency they will have all of your info. just be smart and don't give out any important information.  Thanks, jessica

calls me about some checks that were stolen years ago i called the district attonery they said it was a scam and i hung up on them

She was calling from the Marion County Diversion Program. Ask for my daughter. I told her she was not here. She said she needed to call 877-841-7450 and gave me a case number. I called the number and ask what state she was in. She said Michigan and asked if I was calling to buy a detox kit. I said No and told her I was to call this number with a case number. She said oooooh. You much have the wrong number.

Orange Country Diversion Program for bad check program; could be sharing the number with other counties.
They'll leave a message for you to call back. Number they call on can't be called back with.

It's legit. I have a check from an account I forgot about. They set up a payment plan and schedule you for a course to take to avoid court.

my business checks and various checks were stolen out of my car and these
thieves wrote bad checks at various stores...Ross Target....now the debt  collectors ( like the one with this same phone number) called me, making me think they could possibly help me....what was i thinking. you get violated over and over and over...

thank you Ross and Target and Michaels stores for putting fake checks through with a fake id and not getting proper equipment that directly links with the banks to see that these checks are fake there are criminals standing right in front of  you stealing items from  your store right under your noses.

I wouldnt put it past the cashiers to be in on this either.
