844-882-1395

Caller stated it's very important to get in contact with John so he won't miss a court date. I asked where and she stated on CO. Springs. I asked what district and she did not know, but it's urgent. Bummer.

not well spoken person called from local (310) number and stated urgent matter, may miss court date if we do not call this number to verify address. Sounds like BS because my address is listed, I've not missed any notices and theres not court date I am scheduled to miss if they do not get a hold of me!

I got a call asking if anyone would be home to sign for papers, there had been failed attempts for me to sign some papers and I could be missing a possible court date. She gave me the number 8441882-1395, I kept asking what it was for but she could not give me a response.

Same here. Said I had a court case and needed someone over 18 to sign for some papers. Said she could not tell me the company name that was calling

They called my ex saying hers was one of 11 numbers for me and the same court date BS. My ex's phone is not on anything financial of mine. Only our son's school has both #s and they gave her a lot of "legal" info which would be a violation of most state laws. So really suspicious.

Called, said they needed to deliver legal papers to my ex and to call 844-882-1395 with their reference number.   She wouldn't give me any information.  I did call and asked the name of the place she said Sierra C a private litigation firm.  My ex has been dead for years.

2nd Call in two days. They claim they are trying to deliver documents as many have stated. They can't tell me where they are trying to deliver them to or who exactly is sending them. Since I have a FL area code, I am assuming that's why they keep saying its from the State of Florida.

Called me said I opened a bank account in 2009 for 2 months went into overdraft and wamts to settle for 2000 WTFudgesickle never dealt with that bank told him bank doesnt exist he said how do you l know...jeepers not stupid . only if I agree to debt would he semnd paper othwrwise in the mail. This is very unsettling that people can get ur info and try to get $$$$. Life is stressful enuf.
UGH

Caller called my bro-in-laws architecture business phone - (we do not have same last name); and left msg I had 24 hrs to return call regarding case #124754. untrue! I am submitting claim to FCC also

The FCC does not have jurisdiction over debt collection calls.  The FTC and your State Attorney General do.

One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

The fake process server extortion attempt usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

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: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

Caller asked to speak to my actual name and then stated I was listed as a relative of "Rafael" which I don't know anyone with that name. Caller politely ended call.

They stated there is a judgement against me from Wells Fargo due to a credit card was opened in 2009 for a Capital One credit card. They had my old address and stated I have ignored letters to collect the debt. They knew my name, old address, new address and last four of my social security number. They stated I would be served to go to court and they can take my property, they can come in and assess my Christmas gift to validate I can pay the debt. I call my vank and checked my credit report. They lied and Fairview Mediation Group is a scam company phishing first info.

Tell me to go to the court house

I called the number back and the woman who answered said, "Good afternoon, Fair Remediation Group.  We gave you a call is that correct?"  I don't owe anyone anything.  This is a scam.
