- S. Jones| 6 repliesShe left message that there were 2 notices to be served on me, but are willing to work something out.
- Caller: The Law Firm
- Call type: Debt collector
- Elspeth replies to S. JonesScam attempt. Use of legal terms in order to fluster or upset people enough so that they'll pay a bogus debt, a debt that's already been paid, or even a debt that is owed - but not to the caller.
Per the FDCPA, you should not pay any caller who refuses to mail - do not accept email/fax/phone/text - a debt validation letter showing that you owe a debt and that the caller has the legal right to collect said debt. Refusal to mail that information within five days of their initial contact with you is another violation of federal law. Any caller who also refuses to give company name, physical address and website, if any, is also suspect. Remember - federal law places the burden of proving you owe a debt on the debt collector (or lawyer working as or on behalf of a debt collector).

- Resident47 replies to KLKBoth you and your alleged debtor offspring have solid FDCPA claims and can serve a real lawsuit on the extortionist crooks ... if they can be located. Funny how the thug collectors like to pretend the "party of interest" is so very hard to find while they contact everyone you ever knew, including the lunch lady at your high school.

- Vic in FL| 1 replyI have been receiving phone calls from these people for over a month, at least 3-4 times a week. I have asked them their company name (if they give it - sometimes they do/other times no, but it changes all the time), address, web address, what and by whom I owe. They never give an answer of Who I owe, but the amount is always changing. I have asked that they don't contact me at work, etc.
Now,once again, they are calling my job and telling who ever answers the telephone "They have 2 charges against me and will be filing paperwork." They want to know my supervisor and other information about me. It is embarrassing to say the least. I have not been able to find where they are located and how or who to report them to, to actually get some action on them.- Caller: Unknown Tel. No. 844-225-7350

- Lisa| 1 replyJust called my mother telling her that her name was Vicki Hohass and that her and I are linked up some how. Sick of people like this calling my family upsetting them over nothing.
- Alfalfa replies to LisaHow 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).
http://www.consumerfinance.gov/ - Sarah| 3 repliesThey keep calling me saying it's about a complaint my brother made against a cop. Which he did make a complaint. I told him I have no contact with him. The first call they said they have an arrest warrant against him and if they don't hear back from him they will arrest him. 2nd call was completely different. Said her name was Victoria Price. gave me a case # too.
- Sarah replies to Sarah| 1 replyJust called again. I didn't get their name yesterday. Their voicemail says "The law offices".
That's it. Nothing else. - Lassie replies to SarahComplete scam. They have an arrest warrant? And if your brother doesn't call back he'll be arrested? Since when has returning a phone call ever had the power to dismiss an arrest warrant? It's nonsense!
If there's a warrant out for your arrest:
• No one will call to tell you about it!
• It comes from your local DA, not any private "law office"
• It can't be canceled just because you return their phone call
You should report this call to your state attorney general IMMEDIATELY. - RMully| 1 replyThey just called and spoke to my manager stating that I have 2 pending charges and gave a case number along with this phone number and the name Peter Kelly. They said the name of the office is Slovin Law Office or something like that. Can't find anything under that name. Can't wait to call them and tell them where to go. This happened with another company and I told them that I was going to report them to my Attorney General and the calls stopped for a while. Now they are starting up again. They are so ridiculous.

- l Miller| 1 replyThey told me that I took out a payday loan in 2012 put the money in another account then did not pay back from my account and they had all my information. Never heard of the opd payday loan company did not do this. And the said they are taking me to court to garnish my wages.

- Elspeth replies to Vic in FLPrint out this thread and give a copy to your HR Dept and your manager. You should not allow these losers to embarrass you - you're being harassed by scammers. Your employer may be able to have their telecom service provider block the number(s) they're calling from. In any event, any time you receive illegal calls like this (disclosing information re. the alleged reason for the call to third parties) you can be sure it's either an outright scam or junk debt buyers who can't prove you even owe anything to them. Please do report them to your state's Attorney General - www.naag.org - you can find your state AG here. Also more info on fake debt collectors here:

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

- PB| 1 replyA man stating his name as Peter Kelly, and the business name of Slovin Law Office, located in Chicago, IL, called me stating that there were two charges against me and a lawsuit pending. States that they will settle for a pay off amount. The name of the debtor he gave are unknown to me. This man has also been contacting people with the same last name as mine asking if they are related to me. I cannot find any information on Slovin Law Office.
There is another company also trying to collect a similar debt. I contacted a company where I did have a loan from and there is a recorded message that states that the company is no longer in existance and no collection actions are being made.- Caller: Slovin Law Office

- TiredJust got a call at my job from Brenda Taylor who said she was a litigator from the Flovina Law office calling on behalf of OPD Solutions LLC. I told her to contact the person she is trying to reach on their personal phone and not to call the office anymore and she was persistent and insisting on speaking to that persons supervisor. The I hung up and told the supervisor about the call. This lady continued to call the job phone another 8-10 times before the calls stopped for the day. I contact my States Attorney Generals office to see how do I get these call to stop.
