You are so full of it.  There is no way they garnish your wages for a payday loan.  You would need to go to court for that to happen!  You are working for them

You are also full of it.  Just like my reply to Melanie! BS.  get a life!

You go girl!!!!!!!! I am getting the same kind of calls for something I settled 4 years ago. They don,t want to tell me what it's for and threaten the arrest warrant bull [***]. So I am down with you for that comment to unknown!!!!!!!!

This number called and left a threatening message about some charges being filed.

Threating msg stating I must contact them within 48 are they will report me to the attorney general office. It was a recording.  No one answered when I called back.

They harassed my mother's phone, threatening a lawsuit for a loan, which l have NEVER taken, asking for my social security number.  Highly unethical.

Just about daily we get these calls. Some to my husband and some for me. We have never got a online loan. We even got calls for my mother in law. I am so tired of this. I have finally got to the point that I tell them that they have already tried to scam this number and hang up. They always have different names when they call. I now let answering machine ge it.I am really ired of this and about to change number.

What a joke there website is Kaufman It looks very cheap and made up

For at least the last year, an illegal group of debt collectors have been terrorizing consumers, their family, friends, and employers threatening to arrest the individual of an unpaid loan or other debt (their generally don't even owe).  Be aware debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and you can't be arrested.  The threaten a warrant if the victim does not pay a sum of money by the credit card over the phone.

Although when pressed the callers give the victim an address in Columbia South Carolina (usually a vacant lot).  They are actually out of the Charlotte North Carolina area.  The scammers are using the following business names

Kaufmann and Associates
Sanderson Blaine & Associates
McKenzie Reid Associates
Kennedy, Kline, & Associates

Here is a set of links to a variety of threads on this forum that document this group and its behavior.  They include the experiences of victims as well as a former employee or two that quit within a week of finding out exactly what was going on.  They also include responses from consumer advocates and people who are really criminal justice professionals advising victims of what to do

Interesting - because according to federal law, those tactics are illegal!  Per the FDCPA, no proof of debt owed to the caller = no debt.  IT'S THE LAW!

have received a phone call last week, a woman claiming to be denise wright ( another generic bs name) leaving a message basically stating that my husband has a warrant being issued, linked to his name and social security number. okay now when we think warrant we think arrest right? these morons are leaving these threatening messages just to get a call back!
the debt they are calling about has been paid and limitations is up on it anyways. my husband has all his ducks in a row, the letter saying that he has paid and these scammers are still calling!
DO NOT FALL FOR THESE HARASSING VOICEMAILS.
My husband called them back and asked for "denise wright" and was transferred by someone. (now do you think they have two different companies working it? one to answer, then when they state the name they transfer to blah blah blah?)
denise wright gets on and they argue she hangs up abruptly then later my husband calls again cause he wants to over and done with this, and he gets heckled some more...until finally he gets a supervisor on the phone. the supervisor tells him to provide documentation that it is paid. My husband is reluctant, cause why should he have to, but he does anyway and the email hes giving him doesnt work! he keeps trying, verifying that its right with this supervisor keeps coming back saying mailer daemon. supervisor gives up and says okay ill send you an email stating this this debt is paid and will not be sold to any other company. then the guy jokes that he bought the junk account for a measly 12 dollars. very funny huh? when youre bugging people at home and work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the company was called acg processing llc
the email was info@acggroup.net or com one of the two....
well we got another call today! i called back and i think they were closed but i left a "nice" message for them. ; )
my husband going to call again tomorrow to hassle them for their real business name...we get that well have a lawsuit on their door.

I wouldn't have even called them back and waste your time. Also NEVER send anything via a fax to these lowlifes
T.M.I. you gave them

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR INFORMATION, THEY ARE SCAMMERS TO GET YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. AND FOR WEAK PEOPLE WHO WILL PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY DONT OWE.

I'm in the same position as you.  I've received numerous calls all saying a similar thing.  And these folks must be working for some scammers to have the nerve to try to guilt somebody into paying what they don't owe.

Just a note - it is illegal for anyone stating they are attempting to collect a debt to threaten you.  Look up the Fair Debt Collection Act.  If this company is doing these things they are breaking the law.

Received a message from 855-791-2353 and 702-998-3416, which is a NV number, that a case was being forwarded to the district attorneys office for charges to be filed.  1st FDCPA violation, when I called back to speak to them, they simply answered the phone "Attorneys Office", yeah right.  They stated that is was a federally recorded line, 2nd FDCPA violation, they did not state that it was an attempt to collect a debt, 3rd violation.  Stated that I had an unpaid PDL from 2008 with JHS marketing, a company I have never heard of. I informed the lady that I had filed bankruptcy in 2010, she stated that the company chose not to be included, lie, no creditors filed to protest the bankruptcy.  She then stated that I did not list the debt on the bankruptcy, ok, maybe because it is non existent.  Could not provide a date of the debt, just stated it was charged off in 2008.  Asked her to mail me info, stated I would get all info I needed in court papers, violation #4 of FDCPA.  I asked her for their address, and she gave me:

13850 Ballantyne Corporate Place
Charlotte, NC 28277

This is the address of a virtual office facility.  Their website: www.kaufmanandassociates.wix.com is totally cheap, and the three attorneys listed are not registered with the NC Bar.  This is not a company that is on the up and up.  Do not disclose too much info to these people.  Stated I would get served in the next 24-48 hours.  Well I'm waiting.

My teenage son just got a call from 1-855-791-2353  and threatened him with a bench warrant because he refused to give them his name or info is there not anything that can be done about these losers. He has had his phone for over a year with the same number and they have no right to do this.

They called my phone stated I took out a payday loan and I will be threaten with a Warrant. This is a scam. You don't go to jail for not paying your debts period. They told me there was a warrant out for my arrest. I called the police department and asked if I had a warrant. They told me no there were no warrants issued. They asked me why and told them about the phone call. The police told me it will be impossible for a ADA to file charges due to debt being a civil matter. They told me to file a police report to make sure if they did get a hold of your information. They called next day and told them I don't owe any debt. I have a Identity theft report I can fax over to them and my own police report from my police department. They gave me a fax number and I faxed it over. Since then they stopped calling since they know what they are doing is illegal. I had to go this far because this has been going on for over the past 8 months. I even changed my number 3 times to dodge these people and they somehow get it. It seems they get it from my credit report since there is no other way for them to retrieve my number since I never use my cellphone number for purposes of employment, apply for credit, or for anything online.

I filed a Identity theft report and police report. They stopped calling since then. Every time they call I can ask them for fax number and fax my police report and Identity theft report. They will not barge or fight with me. I told them I can get the police officer on the phone and talk to him directly. They hang up and stop calling.

You have to be aggressive on these people. I would highly suggest you do file a Identity theft report and police report if they tend to get hold of your number multiple times. This means your identity has been compromised and they want to get your Social Security Number to start applying for credit or use it against you for fake documents etc.


If you get garnishment subpoena, call the court of clerks and get a verification if the Subpoena is valid from that state. Most the time these scammers can make up a Subpoena form. Also please have your employer verify that garnishment with a offical seal that is not copied. Employers are not allowed to accept copied Subpoena's. They must have a offical subpoena from the courts with the seal and notary on the bottom to make sure it is authentic. Your employer is not allowed to garnish your wages without that offical Garnishment Subpoena.

If you guys are getting your wages garnished, you will need to call the court of clerks ASAP and also get the copy of that garnishment from your employer. They are required by law to give that to you. If your employer doesn't they can get sued for misuse of garnishing your wages.

Do not wait and stop those garnishments ASAP.

You are obviously one of the fake collectors that wrote this message.  These bottom feeders call and harass people that don't owe anything and even have proof of payment.  Most of the collection scam companies will not give you an address or a good fax number to send documents to if you offer proof of payment.

You are so wrong.  They don't have accurate information.  They might have the last four of your social.  The scum bought the information from some other scammer that only knows an amount and maybe a bank name.  They do not have anything else and 99 percent of the time they will change the name of the debt but if you press them they will give you the original company name which will be something that is already paid and not a debt.  Ask for a fax number and see what you get in response and you will be shocked when you look it up.  Some of them are using hotel fax machines and others just give out bogus fax numbers.  Every call I get goes to the attorney generals office along with a copy of the actual voice mail so they can hear the message.
