Aggressive message.  Tried to sound intimidating without any details.

un solicited phone call has called three times after 7 pm.

Will be reporting them to attorney general as harrasing phone call from Ca.

Beware!

Same Call from the law office of JW Smith has called me and has threatened me that the District attorneys office from the State of Florida was going to be contacted because i had a bad debt and they were collecting.  William Hurt was the name as well a Jeff has left me messages.  I have been saving all my messages and will prosecute after collecting more messages.  If anyone would like to join please post and i will contact them.

Called looking for my uncle whom I do not have contact information for. Must've found my cell # by just noticing we have an unusual last name and live in the same area. William Hurt claimed it was regarding the Ohio Transportation Dept and that it was regarding his driving license, but then when I asked for a call back # he said he was from the Law Office of JW Smith from California. Liar! I did not give him any information.

recieved a very aggressive  letter saying I owed 12,000.00 which should be paid immediately by credit card or check. also sent by jay w smith. when checking phone numbers they did not match. Also the address did not match the Law firm of Jay w smith located in calf. what a scam. Hope noone elce falls for this scam.

lso recieved a letter stating that an insurance company after me. I owed over 12,000 please pay by credit card or check. I checked out jay w smith lawyers address was different from the one on my letter so went to property address in ncalf. found out it was a ware house in an industrial area. Also the lady that signed the letter found her address she lived about 3 blocks from the ware house address. what a scam. everyo ne needs to check out these things before getting upset.

Although I haven't received a call from this attorney, I did receive a letter which threatened to sue me because I was forced to break my apartment lease.  After reading the reviews of this particular attorney, I went to the California Bar Association website and got the address that Jay W. Smith
had listed with the bar.  I then did a little research and learned that the address he had given to the bar was a park in Chatsworth, CA.  My research also posted a picture of the address which was a picture of a tree!  Since I live relatively close to Chatsworth, I drove to the address listed with the bar and low and behold, it was Rocky Peak Park.  What a joke this guy is.  I'm contacting the California Bar Association and informing them that this guy registered under a false address.

This guy Barry has just called me from JW Smith 818-709-2556.

He looked up all my social media information, including linked in, and has harrassed me with questions about my business, endeavours, my home, family....   Incredibly intrusive, this has to be illegal!!!  I will report this immediately to State of Florida DA.

Have these people started legal action with anyone of you?  Did you settle or what was the outcome?

I also got calls from the same number 818-709-2558, Darlene, threaten me if I don't pay the promissory note, she will file a court law suit aganst me.
I tried to negotiate the promissiory note, she was willing to lower the amount by $20,000 but not low enough for me to want to settle the debt.
So I ignore her and she never call me back.

Have anyone negotiated a promissory note down to 10 cents for a dollar?

have gotten 4 calles from a shawn at 818-709-2556 saying that my accident i had 3 years ago titan was deying coverage and that i needed to pay 13000 plus or they will garnish my wages. when i told him this last time today that i talked to my now ex insurance agent about this so called claim, he assures me that i was in fact was covered at the time of the accident, he insistst that i handle it now before any further action is taken. well action was taken, by me, i have retained lawyer and the next phone call i get from this number will be forwarded to them.

 by the way, i am going to be opening a class action suit against this company, unless there is already one started, then please get in touch with me so we can compare notes.

We got a Certified Mail request. I Google the sender name and I am reading all this. We had a Promisorio Note for a short sale on a condo for 30k, debt that the bank sold to multiple collection agencies. The statute of limitations in FL is 5 years. We finally got out of the credit records. And they can't  sue us in Cour anymore.    This JWS is just a joker train to scare people. Learn about debt collection, your rights and stature of limitations in your state. Good luck! AM

I live in Tennessee and received a letter from this scammer in California saying I owe money from a judgement.  Go figure

I got a letter saying I owe 27,000 dollars from a car accident that was two years ago , it said the other driver who was at fault is suing me lol I talked to my big sister who was hurt in the accident and she told me it was a scam. I'm glad I got on here to read about it. If you file a class action suit on this company which is located in a tree in a park in California please let me know. Shawn has called me four times threatening me and I habe their letter in hand. My sister is contacting our states district attorney to.file a complaint.

Says I owe Nationwide insurance for an accident their insured caused.

I have not received any phones from this number but they called my mother and they threaten her and called her a lier when she told them that I was not there and did not live there and I have also received a letter threating a lawsuit againist me for a car accident in someone's else's vechile  and I also looked the law office up and the phone number didn't match, I am in need of information if anyone one knows about this kind of thing in NC ,the car accident was just about 3 years ago and I didn't receive an at fault ticket for the accident just a 3 way paper with everyones information and there was a fourth vechile involved in the accident that took off so do they really have much of a leg to stand on and has anyone actually been taken to court and sued ,and I read that it was illegal for them to send a letter threatening to sue you if they actually don't intend to and don't , is that true ,where do I stand in all this ,any information would be helpful thank you in advance !!!

I just received a letter too. Stating I have a $8000 debt that needs to be paid in full in two weeks or they will be filing a lawsuit. Also they spelled my name and last name wrongly.
Jay w. smith is a SCAM!!!

Some guy named Joe from JW Smith was particularly disrespectful and just outright nasty to me today over making a statement when they called it showed up national commercial services and how they were harassing me, he turned around and said I was harassing him!

Looks like a criminal subrogation and commercial collection outfit out of California that doesn't have to follow the FDCPA.  Most likely that is why they chose to collect those types of debts.  That way they could hire all the convicted felons they want and not face any repercussions.

Alice, did they end up filing a lawsuit against you? I received a letter from them stating they will.
