This "firm" sent my EMPLOYER a form for verification of employment, luckily my employer notified me before giving them any info.  I called them, they said that a judgment was being pursued against me for an astronomical amount for a credit card I had 10 years ago. I was in tears with this lady named Jordan. She said "she had been there, she will help get this dismissed for me" That they had sent me paperwork many times on this (I never got anything from them) and since I never responded, they were pursuing suing me....she then said and said they would take a payment of 975.00 to clear the whole debt.  I was believing her....until I got her email.  They were asking for my bank info. Like, I don't even know who they are, and I am supposed to just give you my bank info! Red flag.

They involved my EMPLOYER!! I cried in the bathroom at work for an hour over this. What freaking scum do you have to be to do this to people???

Fortunately for you, they cannot get a judgment against you for a time-barred debt. Let them know this and you will see them in court if they continue with their lies and bullying

Defend yourself in court. If you're sued to collect on a time-barred debt, pay attention, and respond. Consider talking to an attorney. You or your attorney should tell the judge that the debt is time-barred and, as proof, provide a copy of the verification from the collector or any information you have that shows the date of your last payment. The lawsuit will be dismissed if the judge decides the debt is time-barred. In any case, don't ignore the lawsuit. If you do, the collector likely will get a court judgment against you, and possibly take money from your paycheck, bank account, or tax refund.

Assert your FDCPA rights. It's against the law for a collector to sue you or threaten to sue you on a time-barred debt. If you think a collector has broken the law, file a complaint with the FTC and your state Attorney General, and consider talking to an attorney about bringing your own private action against the collector for violating the FDCPA.

Thank you for all your info and I will look into it.
As far as I can tell with this "company", they are scammers.  I called the credit card company they said they are representing.  I never even had a credit card with them.  The account number and debt amount was bogus.

I received the same exact call last night pretty much word for word of what you wrote...same name even- Jordan - what red-flagged it for me was that she told me she had stopped recording the call so she could handle this personally for me because she felt sorry for me!

I received a phone call from "the firm" for my father. They left a number to call and a reference number but no other info. I called back and they said it was trinity counsel firm from CA. I gave them the reference number and asked how they got my name and number and he kept avoiding answering my question and asked me to get in touch with my dad. It has to be a scam. Right?

I would like to tell you about my situation with them. And how they harassed me.  And did not read the mini Miranda to me.

They have contacted us.  I wish there was a way to contact you.  I would like to discuss further.

Called said they were going to serve me today at work if I didn't give them a down payment today.  Total intimidation.

If you notice on their website they misspelled California and form. I'm being harassed right now and I asked him for some proof then D Johnson said he will see me in court and hung up.

I got a call from a Max Crawford from Trinity Counsel Law Firm who said I was being summoned to court and gave me a case number. Max got very angry at me for remaining calm and unintimidated. He tried to get me to pay or go to court. I told him that I am not paying for a debt that isn't even mine. He got so mad and said he will see me in court and hung up. That was 2 days ago. I looked up my case number at supreme court and it isn't even valid.

Good for you.  Now make sure you report them,

Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.

Ignore and block these calls. If you were the subject of a pending civil lawsuit, you'd have received a letter from the attorney for the other party.  You'd have a paper trail.

Then, if a case was filed, you'd have received a summons delivered to you by someone licensed to serve process in your locality.  You would NOT have first heard about any civil law case from some scammery-scummery debt collector who cold calls you and starts demanding money.

You can check this out yourself by simply going down to the local main civil court and checking the defendants civil list.  The court clerks are usually glad to help and are familiar with these kinds of scams.

Report them.  See my other entries.

My husband got a call from this company well his 84 year old grandmother did.  Told her it was reference to a suit and we had 24 hours to respond or he would go to court or jail.This so called debt would have been over 8 years ago.  She was not very nice and was trying to get him to agree to something.  Was not going to. They said we have 24 hours to pay or else gave me a case number and was going to sue.  Asked for them to send a validation of debt-said that they could not because things have been sent out before and we had time to respond.  He has not received ANYTHING from these people.  She said she could email something and then respond back with a counter-got the email---does not show any validation of a debt at all-just wanting someone to agree to pay the money that was noted on there.  Not going to do that.  I googled and found all kinds of info-such as there is no lawyer listed on their website at all.  We are going to hang tight and see what happens.  I always thought they had to prove a debt.

They said thy where The Counsel Firm to collect a debt so I hung up and try the number 844 531 9735 it doesn't ring threw scam artists beware!!

They called me in DECEMBER BUT block their number.   They are very convincing.  The red flag for me was that anot h er debt collector called me about the same debt.  It is all a big time scam.  The number he gave me does not have a voice mail.   They sent me an email but when I tried to respond to the email I got a server not found error message.   Be aware people.  There are actual people who scam people for a living

They call at 7am and 6 pm California time. Clearly someone's side job to scam.    If found guilty  these individuals cold face up to 8 yrs in prison

***these companies always call first from a fake courier service or document delivery service attempting to deliver legal documents or serve papers - they also all use P.O.boxes***

Following the 800 notes trail, you will see that this all started with James Trent at Shekinah, he now runs Platinum Holdings. It looks like All the people/offices listed below worked for James Trent , Thai han, Jim phelps, Stewart phillips, Wayne lundsford, or Wayne swanson at one point before they branched out on their own.
