844-750-7220

Court info

Just got a call from an unidentified number. I let it go to vm. The woman identified herself as Brigit Turner. Said they are calling to verify my address to send time sensitive documents and if I dont call back to confirm my address the documents would be sent to my last known address. Left this number to return the call 844-750-7220 along with a claim number. As far as I can tell this is completely bogus. Earlier last week I got a text with similar information (from a different number). When I did a reverse look-up on the internet there were others saying that it is a scam.  The IRS DOES NOT call or text you.  I hope this helps.

Same thing just happened to me! About 15 minutes ago

A woman left a vm stating they had documents at the clerk's office that would be sent to my job if I didn't return the call.

Same call i called back said they are bca litigation.. They had all my information and turns out they have a debt i owe but i made sure i verified on my credit report before i paid them , they showed up on my inquiries and purchased a debt i had with chase..So they r a collection office that. Purchase debt from banks... I don't like the fact they called my employer.. 😫

Well, you just got scammed.  I also have to wonder how it got onto your credit report but you had never received a phone call or letter from the bank requesting payment?  That isn't how it works, so either you were scammed or you are trying to mislead other posters here.  Which is it?  You see, the law is very specific in how a debt must be collected.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Well, "Norma", since you clearly work for group making these calls and you are a shill supporting them by posting deceptive information on line to mislead consumers, are you going like the fact that I call you and your employer a scam?

Called from a restricted number and left the name James Burns and said he had important documents for me from the clerks office (clerk of what, I don't know). Gave me some spiel about a reference # and sending documents to my address on file. My thought....go ahead and send it. I'd love to hand it over to my lawyer. No specific info listed. I didn't call back. This has all the markings of a scam.
