Got a call saying I was being served by a plaintiff who would not be named and given a bogus case number. When I called the number I was given they hung up on me when I asked questions. They said they were RH Group which according to Google search is fake.

Call themselves RH Group.  In fact they are Rotech Holdings.
A lot of complaints against this group.  Typical New York debt scamming bullies.   Mall-rat kitchen-table type.   Many complaints on 800notes .  They use the ID of RH when you try to call them.  Typical deception.

! THERE IS AN ALERT ON ROTECH HOLDINGS LTD !

BBB has seen a major increase in collection agencies     starting business    in the   Upstate New York area over the past several years. In an effort to keep consumers informed about which collection agencies are operating in accordance with federal and state law, we have asked fo  r specific information   from all   collection agencies   located in our service area, including proof of licensing, bonding, and or registration required by NY state or other governments where the business is located, as well as proof of licensing required by any state in which the business operates. This collection agency has not responded to our requests. BBB advises consumers to be aware of their rights in regard to collections. This includes New York States law prohibiting any collection agency from collecting on Payday loans in the State of New York. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) outlines prohibited behavior when   attempting to   collect   a debt,  and outlines specific rights for consumers. There are penalties for agencies found in violation of the Act.  BBB advises  consumers  to become familiar with their rights under the Act, which can be found at ftc.gov.  File with BBB at bbb.org/complain.

who are these people

I'd like to know too. I've gotten two calls from them for someone I don't know.

I got a call from these guys today saying they had purchased a debt on a loan I had taken a year ago. They gave me alot of information about the loan that was correct , so naturally they had my attention. They said I had to make a partial payment today to prevent being served. I told them the earliest I could do anything was day after tomorrow. The gentlemen said the legal advisor wouldn't approve that and wished me luck in court. I found out my wife, mother in law, and brother in law also were called and asked where to find me because I was being summoned to court

The threats are illegal and break FDCPA laws. A phone call, fax or email is not legal proof of owing a dept either.   Follow the steps in what you need to know.  CWG40 has provided the information on them above.

To File complaints FDCPA/TCPA violations:

Informational post:

A Collection Agent May Not…

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer’s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer’s debts with third parties other than the consumer’s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

How do i get them to stop calling me and my soon to be ex-husband?

How 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).

They have also called my step son and my mother.  And told my mother what it is about

They have also called my step son and my mother.  And told my mother what it is about

Got a message from this number today. The number shows as "unknown" on my caller id, so I didn't pick it up. They left a very strongly worded message for my ex-husband. We have been divorced for six years and my voice mail greeting clearly states that it is my voicemail. They stated that he has one opportunity to rectify the situation.

Received a call from my sister stating a male caller, James Shepard, left a NO CALLER ID voicemail yelling & screaming for me. She stated he told her that I had one opportunity to get in touch with the plaintiff and rattled off case numbers. The number he left was: 1-844-644-2126. I had no idea who this was, so we called & it was a firm called RH GROUP; then we googled and saw nothing but scams.

They called my sister today private with a message stating that I had one chance to resolve a legal matter gave this 844-644-2126 number a case number my mom called them asking what it was about they told her everything
so my mom called me I called and they demanded a payment and asked for my credit card info...but when I asked for their info all I got was " I cant tell you that information" each time I asked I received the same answer. When I refused I was left another voice mail with the same phone number and case number and the message ended with "good luck"

When I refused I was left another voice mail with the same phone number and case number and the message ended with "good luck" now they are calling my mothers neighbors. They have their numbers ...i don't even know their numbers

Repeated calls to my cell phone giving this number as a call back. I am not the person they're looking for.

Kept calling my work place threatening to serve papers unless I resolve  check fraud associated with my ss#. Rude to my co workers and asking to speak to my supervisor

Call blocker might be your best bet.  Also you might consider a cease and desist letter certified w/return receipt.  You can get templates on-line.

Last known address:

ROTECH HOLDINGS LTD.
25 BIRDSONG PKWY
ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK, 14127  (Single family residence, upscale)

These people change their addresses regularly and don't  inform the Secretary of State for New York.

Debt scam.  Check fraud is a crime.  If it happens it is prosecuted by local authorities and law enforcement.    If you had committed check fraud by writing a bad check, the bank or maybe the payee would have told you about it.  Normally the bank notifies the check writer and the bank will try to reach some sort of an agreement with the check writer and that' the end of it.  The Bank can make a complaint to local police, but that's up to the bank.   You would NOT have heard about it from some scammery debt collector by means of a cold call. Debt collectors have nothing to do with the criminal justice system and have no influence on it.  This is just an attempt to scare you into paying them something.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you 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 block their calls and ignore them.

If they are bothering you,

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection  (Threatening criminal prosecution in order to collect on a civil debt is a clear biolation of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)

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.

Warn them they are NOT to call you at your place of employment!

I've received the same calls and they have all my information.  I Don't b know how but is this real im curious before I give them my money
