855-984-0855

Matt Bennent called my cell phone and stated I have papers to be served for credit cards unknown to myself in a threating manner also called my wife an daughter. Gave wrong DOB and also threatened to have vehicles I do not own repossessed unless I gave him my bank Info and $1019 if not payments would go up to $3000 within 2 weeks. This is a definite scammer. Police action to follow

Caller was David Moore. Claimed I owed over $7000 but would settle for $4000.  I called the number back and there no response.

"Brandon" left a vm lasting almost a minute. Stating it was an attempt to send certified legal documents.
This is the callback number.
Sorry but I not returning a call from someone who doesn't leave the "law firm name" or what it is about.

Just called these filthy disgusting scammers that claimed they have a judgement against me and were going to summons me. Don't fall for there scam lies!

These individuals are definitely a scamming company. I dont have any debts on my credit report and they called and were trying to say they are going to serve me etc. They like to belittle you and call you names and say how unintelligent you are etc. Dont fall for it and I have lawyers if needed.

If you call that number  855-984-0855 they ID themselves as "Brandt Group".   They call from other numbers as well and sometimes impersonate local governmental agencies.  Ignore and block all such calls.
_________________________
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 civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

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.

James Winter called me stating i owe money from 2005-2007, that it 2,000, i should pay to avoid paying even more in court fees, apparently i have court soon he just could not tell me when he said its in process. He also mention something about my employer i asked him who i worked for he could not tell me that either. He called my daughter and left a voice mail. I made a police report.

Received a call about them being a process server and needing to serve papers. Claimed they are the serving dispatch, bs. Her name was renea Thomas if process server dispatch. Gave this number and said papes would be served to my address.....wrong city by the way.  They called from a restricted number, no legit business calls from a restricted number. The return call number given was #8559840855

This is a legitimate collection agency. They worked kindy and professionally with me throughout the process.  Thank you J.R.

The FTC takes a dim view of people posting positive reviews for their employers.

Thank you for bringing these crooks to our attention.  Looks like they have a habit of breaking the law.  You can tell your boss that you have single-handedly put your criminal organization into the spotlight and that he can expect to see a lot more lawsuits and complaints thanks to you.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  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/

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid. 

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Unknown number,private number called my cell within the same minute,then called my fathers home and left their message,a Jessica  Brown  informed me in message it was a civil matter and I have been served,then number 855-984-0855 to call and case number 2  they used my no longer married name that was red flag there,called back and it was about debt I had paid long ago told him so and asked for more info said he couldn't give me anymore info because I'd given an emotional response and said debt was paid and I'd be going to civil court sometime the week of April 16  to 22 but just kept going on that because of response he didn't have to give anymore info I said whatever have a nice day and hung up not first time this has happened but under different numbers

Got a call from an unknown number.  Person identified himself as David Cooper from process service dispatch. He stated that there is a legal case pending.  He left a number (855-984-0855) to call back.  I called this number, person who answered stated he was with a law firm of Brandt.  He was a dick.  I told him not to call me again as they had the wrong number.  These calls are scams.

Private cal a couple of days ago.  Left a ve with this call back number.  Called back today and asked for info about the company,  he gave me The Brandt Group.  I asked "Brandt Lawfirm?" He replied,  "Yes". When I asked for information about his company (address),  he started he wouldborr help without a case number.  He then hung up.

Got a call from the same guy saying i have to appear in court that I owe money, which I don’t! Total scam!

You’re an idiot. Get a real job scammer! How does it fell to be such a loser in life?

I received a message from an unknown caller. They left a message for me to call 855-984-0855 and a case number. I spoke with a Brandon and Mr. Rodriquez who said they represented Brandt Legal Group out of Los Angles. He was very rude and degrading stating I had a bank account from 2009 that was never closed and that I owed 1191.00. He said they were going to garnish my wages and that I was being served papers from Florida for check fraud. The scary things is that Brandon also called my current employer and they had the last four of my SS#. I spoke with the alleged bank fraud department and of course they had no account with my SS or my name. When I called this number back, Mr. Rodriquez answered the phone and told me not to call back.....WOW!!!!!

Brandt Legal Group is definitely a scam! I have contacted the AG in Florida and in the state where I reside! I have also contacted my local police department and would be happy to give you or anyone else associated with this scam!

I see I posted all the information that I could find on them.  Do you have anything to add?  Did you report them to all the Florida agencies that I have listed?
