I also received a call from this company "Leigh & Associates".  They had all of the my personal info.  They threatened to take me to court for "Malicious Intent" to defraud a credit card company.   He stated that the district attorney would not go easy on me for that.  He wanted me to settle for over $572.  He also called from 1-855-432-6887 and gave me Fax# 915-266-3422.  Leigh & Associates 12672 Limonite Ave. #3E-541  Eastvale, CA   92880. I spoke with two different people one was Joseph Evans and the other Connor Morgan.  I will be filing on this company with the BBB.
I have been scammed before by another company 3 years ago stating they were "Direct Litigation Group" 27475 Ynez, Rd Temecula, Ca 92592.  Ph#888-311-5934, Fax#866-686-1287. They also threatened to file charges in court. One person's name was Darby Grant and the other Nina Roth. I paid them over $500 before I realized they were frauds!  They were supposedly collecting for the same debt as the above company.  
I turned them into the BBB. I was told by BBB if the company cannot give you the attorney's bar number they are not a LEGIT company!  

This company has called with threatening messages, stating that I am going to be served and could possibly be in trouble with the law.  In fact the very first phone call I got from them stated that there was a bench warrant out for me. When I called them back I was sent to three different people who stated that I owed money for an old credit card that has been closed out for years. When I tried to research the company I came up with nothing valid. They will not stop harassing me. My second red flag was when they called me and when I dialed the number back it was a magic jack phone number. Is there something that can be done to stop this scam???

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.

Honestly these collections companies are not scams they buy your debt for pennies on the dollar then adobt the  by any means nessasary to get you to pay thier debts after all they have to provide for thier families ... you accured the debt so pay for it and stop running your always yelling scam because you dont want to pay your bills ... they have your debt because you didnt pay it and they are the professionals that get you to pay. now stop whining like babies you owe it ... it is yours!! they arent scams why do you think they are still open because they are in compliance with the FDPCA

Collections called my mother trying to locate me, threatened with a court summons unless i settled for $800- said all the right things- did mention an old college credit card account. No paperwork to show me... I researched the firm its all fake. Im documenting everything closing my checking account and moving on.

Shows what you know. There is an entire group of scum out there that use scare tactics like the ones mentioned above that aren't debt collectors but scammers. Enough people fall for this that it pays to keep doing it.

Even if you do owe a debt, these tactics are illegal and they are not in compliance with the FDPCA or any other debt collecting regulation.

Crawl back into your nasty little troll hole.

So I am getting scammed from this "company"? I talked to someone from Leigh and Associates about a debt. Long story short, they have been taking  money out of my account via debit card. What should I do to stop them. Help!

they are a fake debt collector,  call your  bank

all of you should check your credit reports. i guarantee you'll see that they made inquiries.

Seriously, they said I owed over 1,000 dollars for a debt that I've been paying on which was originally only 338 dollars. They are scammers strong arming people into paying way more than what they owe. You probably work for one of these companies.

I got a call from them today on work cell phone and at work. The woman called me and said that she had received a "complaint" about me and that a process server is looking to serve me legal papers. I explained to her that I am in the legal field and I know that she is lying as I work with the courts every day and know that there has been nothing filed against me. She gave the number of 855-756-8994 and a reference number that is basically "54321". I called that number and told the man who answered the same thing. He said that I was rude and hung up on me. LOL

That is not true. They claimed I owed a debt to a hospital I have never visited in my life. So no, I do not owe it.....it ain't mine. So why don't you tell the rest of the sea hags you work with at the scam bill collector office to shove it up their [***]!!!!

Did they by any chance did they send you a DocuSign through an email. And by the name Ryan Pratt w/ number 855.580.2688. If u remember by any chance.

It's been two years since that post was made - and the poster is very unlikely to see your question.

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?

You do  realize emails are not an official notification, don't you??

This company has all your information.  Leaves messages on your cell and home phones regarding calling them back because they have received a complaint against you, then hang up on you when you tell them you are not the person they are looking for and ask too many questions as to who they are exactly. They are clearly not who they say they are and upon further investigation look like they are trying to get you to part with your money however they can!  Beware!

That number looks like one of the many numbers, but also, I am receiving phony letters with a toll free number, address, and suite number. The names change.P@D Resources at 18543 Yorba Linda Blvd., suite 324, Yorba Linda, Ca.92886. 1-888-308-7571 FAX. (424) 336-9495. Complete with a phony case #. dated Jan.17, 2017. Demanding 27,685.90. Letter ends with 'Govern Yourself Accordingly' Don Sterling Legal Administrator. On the bottom reads that this letter is an attempt
to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Also, it reads that litigation will commence immediately, if scammers do not hear from me within ten days. This has been going on for at least four or five years now, and sometimes they impersonate police/sheriffs. I am getting tired of it all. Phony debt collectors can go straight to Sheol.

Errors have been made above. P+D Resources does not mention the word 'Scammers'. P+D Resources ARE the scammers, and they often change their names, and Company name. The whole thing is FRAUD. I do not even owe money!
