I cannot give you legal advice, however, this is my experience as a legal secretary.  I was left the same voice-mail content threatening to serve at my place of work between a certain hour and to return their call if I will not be at the location.  Before serving a summons and complaint, you need to have the summons issued by the clerk of the court of your county to effect service (if they filed). Public records are typically uploaded within 24 hours of electronically filing the documents and should be available online or simply call the clerk for your county to check of any recent "civil" filings.  an attorney can have papers without the court stamp as a means to warn and attain some settlement before they sue -- and it's a civil matter with collectors -- I don't even thinks it's legal for them to harass or make threats. I just wanted you to know that this is kinda out there -- process servers attempt to serve you on surprise -- if we let you know they're coming, then you would hide.  It's a threatening collector, and I have no clue how they got my number.  Take care and don't worry.

Failure to appear only applies to traffic court, when you don't show for your court appearance. This is due because you sign a legal doc stating you promise to appear, the ticket. When you are not present in any civil court, you waive your rights to a fair trial and almost always lose said case. However, it is not a crime to miss your civil court date, and due your rights ro a fair trial, your criminal trial cannot be held if you are not present.

We called the Attorney General's office and were informed that this this a well-known scam being run off-shore.  Jarvis & Cohen is not a real collection agency.

My boss got a call saying that Jarvis & Cohen was developing a case against me.  Vicky Davis also said that my boss should call them back to give a statement in her defense.  Their address is:

Jarvis & Cohen
1201 Colvin Boulevard
Kenmore, New York 14223

I got screwed by Payday Advance a couple of years ago, and cannot wait to put them in their place.  If they had conducted their business as they said they would, there would have never been any problems.  They are legalized loan sharks with liars and cheating backstabbers for employees!!!

I got a call from someone who chastised me at work and told me that something had been filed at county and to avoid like 2500 in court costs and having my wages garnished if I did not "take their offer".  I had already paid to a collection agency about half of the 320 owed but they were trying to collect 615 plus change.  I stupidly gave them my account number and made arrangements to have a deduction a few days later.  After thinking about it, I had no proof that this was legitimate.  When I asked for proof of any contract, she said they had the proof.  That it was my responsibility to get with my bank, blah, blah, blah.  I was told I would get a I "contract" stating my intent and then something after payment was collected.  I called my county clerk and NOTHING was pending.  I also called my bank and had them cancel my debit card.  So I am not out of any money.  If they were a law firm, why doesn't their official site mention anything about being a lawyer?  And if they actually filed something (I later was given a docket number when a Michelle Watkins called back a few days later), was it filed in New York?  And can a "collection agency" garnish wages?  Either way, I was told by the police and by my bank that "YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE YOUR CARD NUMBER to anyone that you did not initiate business with first."  So Michelle and Jarvis & Cohen, forget you!  Scam someone else.

Received a call from Marion Davis, a man with Jarvis & Cohen but the number he's calling from is Unknown.  Left 855-620-1745 to return call.  Why call someone's job for a personal matter to scam someone.  I've been scammed before and am not taking any chances anymore.  If it's legitimate, let your number show when calling people and send the necessary paperwork for proof.

You think you are so smart.  I did look up the firm dumb [***] and when the caller claims to be a law office but no where does that tidbit show up on their website, I think it is safe to say there is some sort of scam.  Also, the caller neglected to deduct what was paid already.  Odd, how I set up payment arrangements and then some illegal authorizations show up on my bank account.  And they were the only ones to have access.  So if you don't know your facts, don't assume it isn't a scam.  Just keep your mouth shut.

Funny thing is...I received a Word doc of the paperwork this morning.  It has the same exact address, but the city is Buffalo, NY.  So I reported them to the BBB.  It is best to talk to the pay day loan to make sure that their collections is affilliated with either: Jarvis & Cohen Inc 1201 Colvin Blvd. – Buffalo, NY – 14223 or 1201 Colvin Blvd. – Kenmore, NY – 14223, which is located on the website http://www.jarvisandcohen.com/contact-us 

YOU MAY OWE THE LOAN, BUT ARE YOU PAYING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Actually Sara, you are misinformed. I get calls constantly for other people. I get tired of getting calls 2-3 times a day for other people. When you tell them that they have the wrong number, they do not believe you. Stop assuming that everyone on here is gulity of something!

I also got a call from this Victoria Davis from Jarvis and Cohen....I believe this to be the same company that scamed me before. My husband demanded something in writing and she "Will have Payment Processing send me a email" It was the same word doucment that everyone else got.....WTF....My husband works to hard to take care of this family for someone to scare us into giving up money...This is just so wrong..

Victoria just called back and she is very upset with me for looking the company up on google. She said anybody can post anything on the internet and she is just being honest about that...She also said she will not argue with me about it and put me on hold so she could get a email address...she forgot to push the hold button and I could hear a gentleman in the background talking on the phone saying some of the same things she said to me.... This should be illegal

I got at unknown call at 6:16pm on voicemail for urgent  to callback regarding a debt with a person stating last 4 digits ssn# ( Selesa Likine).  I called back spoke with Mark Russ at Jarvis & Cohen) office 855 620 1745 ext 320..I called back said you have wrong number then I asked where is office located he said NY, I said I don't know person or address or infomation, they stated( address in Detroit, birthyear 1966..I told him that Selesa name don't sound real, then I started asking him question then he said hold on then disconnected phone...I tried calling back blocking number only answering machine came on..I immediately file complaint on BBB, ALSO file Fraud Alerts on Transunion, Equifax, Eperian,...NEVER GIVE OUT INFORMATION ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF!!!...CROOKS IN THE WORLD, TRYING TO GET PAID .

This is a SCAM...I get a phone call stating I am going to have to pay them over $1000. from a loan I did with ALLIED CASH ADVANCE, when I told them I had already paid it, they said they have no record. I told them I have the paperwork to prove paying ALLIED CASH ADVANCE, he ask me to just show it to the court at my hearing. I contacted my attorney, explained to him, he called JARVIS & COHEN....they  DID NOT want to talk to him. Bottom line is they are scamming people out of their hard earned money! Make them prove to you that you owe them....they could not prove anything and I could prove everything!!! They use scare tactics to take your money....don't give it to them!!!

Notes:

No license or bond found in any state we checked.This make them illegal debt collectors.
Scam artists using phone spoff (illegal) to pose as law firm, and various othewr third party entities to gain information.

They bought a portfolio of old, mostly worthless accounts that have little or no documents to validate their authenticity.

This is a scam, do not be fooled by their lies and attempts to extort money.

If they were able to file a lawsuit, it would enable you/your attorney to conduct a thorough search of their business records, which they appear not to have.

Do not give them any money...You willl regret it.

This Jarvis and Cohen are people who get illegal disclosed information and use it to try to extort loans out of people:

Let me explain: I receive a call and one of the place they say they represent is Check 'n Go. Now Check 'n Go is really run by Axcess. The reason Check 'n Death [Go] had to run it's collection efforst through private attorneys like these rogues Jarvis and Cohen, and Axcess, is that they already have a bum rap, and have had a bum rap, so any attorney who works to extort loans from people for Check 'n Go is somone you shoudl hang up on, file a restraining order upon, then report it to the police, get a police number, and then report it the attorney general of your state.

Here is a case on Check 'n Go way back in 2006. They'll call 6, 7,8 years later and say you owe a loan or never paid one you had, then try to tack on even more loans. They are a criminal organization technically, but why they're still in business amuses;.

Here is where I got my facts on CHeck 'n Go from the Federal Trade Commission:

4.
Check ‘n Go of Washington, Inc. was charged by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions with collecting multiple checks from borrowers to secure single payday loans (in violation of a 2004 DFI policy), charging excessive fees, and collecting personal identification numbers without the borrower’s knowledge. When multiple checks for a single loan were returned unpaid by the bank, the lender imposed multiple NSF fees on the borrower, in violation of Washington’s maximum one-time fee of up to $25 for an unpaid check on a single payday loan. DFI announced in August 2006 that it intended to revoke Check ‘n Go’s license to make payday loans and to impose fines of $333,700.15 A Consent Order issued in December 2006 imposed a fine of $82,000, restitution of $69,675 to consumers plus investigative costs. Check ‘n Go agreed to comply with the law and discontinue practices that led to the complaint.16

Now, these Jarvis and Cohen is a closed law office because the real attorney retired.

If these lawyers were real attorneys, they'd know the account number of your loan statement, have a statement to send to you, and have all the info on it, but when I talked to them, he could not provide anything but some fabricated court case number, and he tried to extort me into paying by saying I'd get two felonies on my record soon.

I then filed a police report and in it, I told them to send a statement me and I'd pay it if proven I had taken out. Another things these dumb butts don't know, is money orders can still get tracked years back, even 15 if you pay a small fee, and bank account statments can get found easily, so they are lying. Check out all statements and track any money orders. Investigate if you owe the loan, and if your're not able to do this, complaint to the Attorney General of your state.

Jarvis and Cohen's office number is 855-620-1745.Us e this number to file a police report. The Jarvis and Chohen law office is active and they lawyer is, but I don't think these are the real Jarvis and Cohen lawyers going around making these calls. They extort by making threats you'll get a felony, a warrant out for your arrest, and make you feel that you could be harmed even.

They couldn't be lawyers if they don't have statements, proof, and think a victim of their scam couldn't trace money orders. If they are lawyers, they are criminal white collar crime ones, possibly.

Please complain to them to the BBB. Since the arbitration on them is all the way to a Federal level at the FTC, they'll get snagged. I did find that Check 'n Go was also agreeing with these rogues about a loan I never had taken out,and they were trying to say just by verbal demand I owed it: no statements, no proof, no account number, and total name calling, rude, threatening harassment.

I hope I've helped you: Don't speak to any of these people again, and get a UPS address and never use your physical address on any accounts. Always use a PO Box , or UPS box, etc. because white collar crime is really high right not. See if you really owe the loan, and if you do, just pay the f up Check 'n Go, or whatever company you were told you owe.

It is a scam, Hang up, check your statements to prove you don't owe it,file a police report, and completely humiliate the scum when he calls back.

It amuses  me  how much you think you fool people. If you don't have a statement, proof, or if you fraudulently make a fake loan statement, bank accounts, money orders can be traced. Your just shooting yourself in the foot here and will end up in jail.

I don't believe you're a lawyer and I'm completely onto you. Try mental health: maybe they an give you medication for what ails you. Maybe you're [***] or paranoid, or sociopathic ------- or a dumb teen who grew up thinking he's God and just dumb [***].
