Received a call from foster and Monroe for my fiance saying they had a civil suit for theft of property owned by Chase financial bank. They've called all of his family even friends. But they called from a different number # is 844-822-4455

Not a law office.  Debt collectors.

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 criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a clear violation 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 at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.  Tell 'em  no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.

A web search of the 550 Center Road address seems to have all doctors in it.  Strange place for a collection agency.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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.

Received a call from 855-306-7366 and  855-463-2233.  The two people that called stated their names were Philip Thomas and Kerry White.

If they are demanding money on some sort of debt, you demand a debt validation letter be sent you by US mail.  E-mail no good.  If they wonn't do this, then simply ignore and block the calls.

I was just called from this number. How do you report them for fraud?

There fking YOU!!!! There nothing but slimy scam artist just like my mother-in-laws husband. They all do the same thing please change your bank info and all that they will just keep taking money from you.

Its a scam please help by filling and having them arrested

So r u a scammer too???

So is this foster monroe collection agency a scam

I sued this company last yr aND got my money back from they told me there were going to file fraud charges on me and I stasted to pay them and found out they can't do that.

I do not appreciate being threatened nor harassed. I just lost my son and I am still mourning and not working. Quit calling me from random numbers just to say you are calling the Sherriff or taking me to court from something years ago. It is actually against the law for a second or third party collection agency to threaten you.

Better business bureau

Lol, called me today april 9th, talked to a phillip and i thk kerry called my brother, thy said i had stolen mdse from 2010 and im getting sued if dont make a oayment today, if waited one more day it wld double, said i was being sued by chase

Thank you! I received the same information today! I'm going to cancel my bank information. I felt like they were scammers.

They must still be at it because I am currently receiving calls from David Michael Anthony claiming he is from foster and monroe! He has been harassing me all day. When I told him I had contacted the authorities he became increasingly agitated and told me that i was utterly ridiculous for doing that. He is using the excuse that I owe money to commenity bank....People are awful

I am currently trying to figure that out myself but it sure does seem like it. They have been harassing me all day and I called the police and the guy, David Michael Anthony, told me I was utterly ridiculous for doing so but what the police told me was to stop answering their calls completely and that if it were real then someone would serve me with papers and they would accompany to court but I feel like this is just a scam. I was also informed that they cannot threaten you, tell you that you committed a crime or threaten to serve you with papers of any type.

They called me this morning, they are debit collectors, threatened with wage garnishment, telling me they could take 45% of my wages and all that happy garbage.  When asked for exact physical address of their "firm", state and federal license numbers I was put on hold for 10 mins and than hung up on.  They are on idiots and Paul and his friend are part of the predators collect.

They called me and told me my father had me as a secondary contact. They said it was regarding legal action and couldn't tell me why but want to reply a message to my father that he needs to get a hold of them. I spoke to my dad and we both called him back because he doesn't speak english well (I was translating). They said my father owns $6,000 to US BANK and that  if he doesn't settle it will cost around $10,000 in total and he ca lose his car, house, assets etc. My dad had no idea why they were calling him and was shocked, he said he had no debt like this. My dad later had to go back to work so I was on the line with this guy called named Michael McCoy. The phone number they were at is 18552024646. He proceed to get money out of me and said we can settle at $3,500. I asked him to send me documents and paper via email or mail before I make the payment. He told me that he couldn't get any documents to me regarding this case and can only send me proofs after payment. This was a red flag, He was very persistent in getting a payment and wanted me to pay atleast some money upfront. I told them I have to speak to my parents first, when he became threatening. I was on the phone with him for over 1hr. I hang up and start doing some research, i still don't know if my father has this debt, or if this call was a scam or not. I told my parents to contact US BANK and see if they have any debt and check his credit report. Another red flag was when I asked him if i contact US BANK, could they verify this $6,000 debt. Which he answer no, because the debt was removed and given to the collection/law firm.

I received a phone call from these same people stating they were going to garnish my wages and freeze my accounts or anything associated with my social security number. This debt was over 10 years ago. I'm not even working. I have never received any call or paperwork regarding this matter. Not sure what to believe but I will not be contacting them again.
