844-242-7020

Stating its regarding a civil matter provides case # and call back number 844-242-7020. Its a scam for $$

says i was officially notified and to call this number about some sort of case against me.

Caller says that this is a federal and state matter that a judgement is against me and that me and my lawyer need to contact them as soon as possible

Was told this was a state and federal matter, given case# and told to call or have my attorney call 8442427020

Same call, saying the samething... I probably get about 10 of these calls a day from various numbers, all of which are scams... You block their number, and they call you from another fake number.. Annoying as hell.

Called back and told them to NEVER call me again and i hung up.  Called me right back...from a DIFFERENT phone number...and said “now that i violated your request, what do you plan to do? We have the legal right to call you once a day”, but yet he called 3 times????  I said not to call again and hung up...they called BACK and left a message that said “Alright well unfortunately call and I’ll just go ahead and have to notify the attorneys of your refusal to take care of your legal and binding obligation and don’t have to dispatch a process server to your residence to serve your summons come tomorrow morning.  Have your attorney contact us.  Good luck to you in court”.  Per Indiana law, all legal matters are to be notified in writing.  I told him to send me something in writing,and he said “we don’t have to”.

"It is imperative that we speak to you or your attorney to avoid charges against you. You have been notified". I am sick to death of SPAM calls!

Listen to message

The vague scare tactic message is designed to panic a victim into calling back.

Most debt collectors will use a certain amount of pressure to convince you to pay the debt. After all, they often don't get paid unless you pay. Be suspicious of a debt collector who uses an unusual amount of pressure to get you to pay immediately, particularly if they also use scare tactics to get you to pay right away. For example, a debt collector is scamming you if it :

• threatens you with a lawsuit and tells that you can avoid the lawsuit by paying right away
• Says a Process Server  or Courier is coming with papers to sign
• Threatens to call / go to your place of employment
• Insists you have been notified, served or are non-compliant via phone message(s)
• Refuses to give a company name or verifiable Contact source
• Refuses to send proof of debt via US mail

A sure sign of a debt collection scam is a collector that wants to you to pay via wire transfer or another method that can't be traced. If the payment method can't be traced, you'll have a harder time getting the authorities involved.

If the creditor sounds completely foreign, or you know you never had an account with that business, there's a chance it's a scam. Never pay a collection you don't recognize. You have the right to request written proof of the debt from the debt collector before you send payment.

Complete fraud, claiming to be a debt collector but does not even know the name of the person they are calling. Scam for money...!!!!

They are calling me everyday and even sending emails. crazy

Exact voice mail,  pressed 1 to speak to representative and he was mocking and rude when i tried to find out nature of call.  Cussed at me and called me "a dumb [***]" just for asking for information they had regarding me and getting aggravated because he wouldn't reveal the nature oi g the case/ call.

I received a phone call stating that it was a  litigators office asking for my deceased father.  When i told him he was deceased since 2013 he hung up.  I called back to inquire what this was in reference to and was told "what does it matter and why do you care if he's deceased" and he abruptly hung up the phone.

They keep calling say my daughter took out a loan and so on and giving wrong birth date and I refuse to give them any information

I get this same call every couple of days. I’ve blocked the caller number, but always the same message. Same threats about a case in their office pending against me, have my attorney call. Funny thing is I AM an attorney. No, I haven’t replied to these idiots. Some things to be aware of:

1) A debt collector (even if a legit one) cannot issue an arrest warrant or subpoena. You can be served with a lawsuit. If you have not been served with a lawsuit, they are [***] you.
2) A “claim” could mean anything. In general, there is a statue of limitations  - deadline to file suit on a claim for a debt. Limitations periods vary by state. If you have an old debt, be sure to google your state’s limitations period. Expiration of limitations does not mean some jerk can try to collect on it. They just can’t do anything to legally force you to pay.
3) Failure to pay a debt is generally NOT a criminal matter (for example fraud would be criminal.) collecting a debt is a CIVIL legal matter. You cannot be arrested for a civil matter.

WHEN YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND HEAR NOTHING, IMMEDIATELY HANG UP, PERIOD.

This number calls and leaves a case number, and tells you to call back - I called back and the people are rude, say they are a law firm??!!

Same story as most of you.  They repeatedly call and threaten legal action.  They tell you to press 1 to speak with an agent.  They gave a case# for reference and mentioned the name Alan Wood Associates.  I hung up and I'm not calling them back.  If this was legit, they would send a certified letter or something through the mail.  It's probably a company that has bought old debts and are trying to collect on them.  I paid off my credit cards years ago and recently paid off my house.  I know I don't owe these jokers anything!
