No one gets a heads up they'll be served - the process server just shows up, unannounced.  Per the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) you should not pay any caller who refuses to mail - do not accept email or fax - proof of debt/proof they can legally collect said debt.  Refusal to mail this documentation within five days of their initial call is a violation of federal law.  They are violating your privacy by disclosing your alleged debt to all and sundry at your work too.  And any "business" which wants only prepaid cards should be treated as a scam!

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
 If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

I am an attorney pursuing CRG (Credit Recovery Group), learned very quicky thay the name I had to use for this lawsuit was PnL Agency L.L.C. the reason the owner uses 3 names and does not provide physical address is to prevent anyone from locating him for lawsuits or F.T.C. shutting them down. For everyone's info these are valid debts, the ammounts are very wrong, we learned that the owner applies any figure that he feels necessary to make him more money generally the figure we notice applied to many of these purchased debt os approximately $750.00-$850.00 keep in mind this is completely illegal. So if they contact you please contact:

Arizona's States Attorny General

WWW.FTC.GOV

WWW.BBB.COM

and if you want to pursue them legally contact any attorney who deals with fraud companies or debt collection companiea. This is a very easy case as they violate about every FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) that exists so if the attorney you hire knows what he or she is doing its a guaranteed win.

I just got the call from Lisa Collins- process server.  She was in the area and needed to verify my address so she could serve me,  She said I have one more chance to call the Arbitrator to resolve this at 844-809-5830- guess what comes up invailid number when I search whitepages.com.....

This is a total scam!  The address they provide in Riverside is a VET CLINIC!

I got a call this morning from Lisa Collins. Said petty much the same thing. Weird that there's a Lisa Collins in the process summons division in so many places besides IL. When I first heard the message I thought it was legit. this has be happening to me a lot of the past year. All these people say I'm gonna be prosecuted but her I am.

I just had a call from them Friday and i also got the email letter stating just about everything all the above people said

I received a private call from someone who said  they were trying to serve me papers with failed attempt I said someone will be home the next day they said I was the only one who can sign or they can give me a number to call I called and they answer the phone CRG I was told I had an account with us bank for $2,000 from 2008 and what court date would I like to set up. I told him I never had an account in 2008 next a women contact me and said it was for 1,300 the next day they contacted me asking to send me a text and e mail of the settlement I said I want something in the mail with letter head and I want their Better Business Bureau number he would not give it I told him to take my attorney information and to cease all contact with me he said he didn't want my attorney number.  I hung up on him. I believe this is a scam each time they have called it's been from a different number and area code

I got an unsolicited call from them today saying there was a pending civil case against me, gave me a "case number", and asked me to confirm last 4 of my social security number, address, phone numbers, etc.  I told them I wasn't giving them any personal information.  Carlos then got very sarcastic and told me if I got served with court papers it was my own fault.  I asked for the address of the company he stated he worked for, Premier Partners Group, and he put me on hold while he looked it up!  Sure enough, he told me it was 3410 La Sierra Ave F289 Riverside CA 92503.  The phone number for them now is 888 873 3639.

Other sites report people receiving an e-mail with a  heading CERTIFIED RECOVERY GROUP- 3410 La Sierra Ave F289 Riverside CA 92503 Ph- 855-213-3647.  Googled address shows something called: Certified Recovery SERVICES .  Also uses a call back of :  855 834 4766.  Serious debt scammers. Ignore and block their calls.

If they call you, demand a debt validation letter be sent to you by US mail. E-mail no good. If they won't do this, and they won't, simply ignore and block the calls.

Most likely this group:

My dad received a call from a Julie Walter 877-661-9611, told my dad she was from HRS LEGAL..When I called the number, Katie Simms says they've never heard of Julie Walter.  Katie says the name of their company is Horizon and not HRS or Certified Recovery Services.  She proceeds to give me her own number 951-268-7552.  Asked if I was served court papers last week, I said no, I did not receive anything only a phone call.  She tells me that I cannot make payment arrangements but that I will have to pay $2500 in legal/court/attorney fees once I'm served papers.  I continue to ask all my questions and she continues to deny everything and changes the story. I checked their address 3410 La Sierra Ave F289, Riverside, CA and according to the BBB, they are not accredited.  Do not give them any of your information!

BBB accreditation only means they paid the BBB money for it.  You don't have to pay anyone to get served.  This is a criminal organization trying to scare you into paying them money (extortion).  Using the information in CWG 40's post this is what you should do next:
You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/
