This guy (Al Ledbury) calls and says he is an attorney (Sure you are, Al)and says that he is from the Cambece Law Office in Boston.  He wants to talk to me about a relative.  He won't say what the call is about.  Well, then, he doesn't get any information about me.  Looking up the company and phone number shows that they in the business of debt collection and treat people very badly and disregard the debt collection laws.  Be careful!

Bud Says...

This organization will lie, threaten, intimidate, extort, and coerce you into sending them money under threat of litigation, wage garnishment, and property seizure.

Attorney Cambece is ONLY licensed to practice law in MA and is unlikely to go into a courtroom against REAL lawyers who know and understand the law.

The BEST way to deal with Tony is KEEP your money. You can stop him cold by faxing a copy of my FREE cease-comm letter

Debt collectors to pay $75,000 settlement
Peabody law firm also to implement new procedures
By Michael Rezendes, Globe Staff | November 1, 2006

After a two-year investigation based on more than 100 complaints, a Peabody debt-collection law firm will pay $75,000 and implement procedures to protect indebted consumers under an agreement unveiled yesterday by the state attorney general's office.

Thomas F. Reilly, the attorney general, alleged that representatives of the J.A. Cambece Law Office PC violated state and federal debt-collection laws by using profane language, placing calls to consumers at improper hours, making unauthorized communications with consumers at their places of employment, and failing to provide proof of the validity of debts.

The settlement "imposes restrictions on this firm to protect consumers from abusive practices," Reilly said in a prepared statement. "It also sends a message to the collection industry that abusive tactics will not be tolerated."

In August, the Globe reported that Cambece was being investigated by the attorney general's office. At the time, Nancy Sterling, a spokeswoman for the firm, said the investigation was "based on a small number of complaints."

A Globe Spotlight series in July and August revealed widespread abuses in the debt-collection industry, but the series did not focus on Cambece.

Under the agreement, filed yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court, Cambece assented to a variety of procedures designed to protect debtors. These include recording all telephone conversations with consumers, providing proof of debt -- including at least two monthly statements from the original creditor -- and appointing a supervisor to oversee compliance with state and federal laws.

The settlement also requires Cambece to pay $20,000 in restitution to consumers, $45,000 to a consumer aid fund managed by the attorney general's office, and $10,000 to cover the cost of the state's investigation.

In his statement, Reilly said Cambece cooperated with the investigation. But the firm denies it violated any laws.

"There's no finding by any court that Cambece broke any state or federal law," said Sterling, the spokeswoman for the firm.

The filing "simply confirms a voluntary agreement between the Cambece law firm and the attorney general's office. No enforcement action was filed against the law firm, and no fines or penalties were paid."

The Cambece Law also uses 1-866-200-9398 and 978-826-1040. These people do not do things by the book, they have not notified me in writting, which I believe they are suppose to and they called my at 7:30 am, I also believe that is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices. I filed a complaint with the FTC, and will continue to file complaints each time they do something wrong. I will not lay down and roll over.

I hold power of attorney for my brother a one hundred percent disabled veteran. He is severely emotionally disturbed. Due to his condition he has acuminated a number of large debts because of his mental disability to remember which renders him irresponsible and unreliable. By the time I learned what his condition had done to him he almost lost his home. A credit card company put a lean on his property two years ago. I just learned about this, this past October. Last week I received a phone call from the office James Anthony Cambece the representative is a man named Dan Machado the problem is all our sources of help have been exhausted the lean placed a 12% interest on the lean which means every year the interest adds another four hundred plus to the balance. What should I do? Paul

Actually as a financial advisor i am working in USA. Recently i got some calls from 866-200-9380 no. & the person was asking about some outstanding amount which i need to pay within 2 days. But it was not related to me better say i don't know anything about it. Then also that person called me up to recover his outstanding amount. It was very irritating for me. At last i got the information about that no with the help of ..

A 100% disabled veteran is judgement proof, Go to debtorboards and learn how to get the judgement vacated.
Your brother dose not have to pay them anything.  The members of debtorboards will help you. They will ask what state you live in, when your brother was declared incompetent.  Dose your brother have a public guardian.
Good Luck.

I keep receiving harassing phone calls from J.A Cambece law firm. I was working with one of their debt collectors name Matt Cox, he has been so rude to me harassing me calling rude profound names. They first initially said that I owed 900 dollars I made a agreement to pay monthly I paid 600 dollars and didnt pay them for 2 months because I lost my job and they called me harassing me again saying that I owe 900, I asked the office how if I paid 600 dollars on a 900 dollar debt. They told me that, it consisted of 12% intrest and court fees, is that possible is their anything that I can do?

called me out of the blue saying that I missed a court date and there was a warrent out for me if I don't settle this debt soon.  Mind you I never ever received any letters or notices from them to go to court.
Now there calling and harrassing me. Could this be right?

you're a liar.

Bud-

I'm at the starting point with this Jack.  Can you please forward your "free cease-comm letter" when you can.

Thanks, Ted

this guy al has been calling me as well. he just called at 9pm on a saturday night. and while the rest of my 30-something peers are out having dinners and drinking on the weekends, i am on SSDI for PTSD, generalized anxiety, and other mental disorders. bottom line is im not ur avg 33 year old single woman. i live by myself, and i barelyhave enough money t pay rent let alone thousands of dollars to this guy. my question, thus, i this: is there any debt forgiveness ora way 2 get out of paying if im disabled? i accrued a lot of debt before i was diagnosed that i dont know how i can ever pay. and with my doc bills, my debt is increasing, evn WITH medicare. please help!!

Mr. Al Ledberry keeps calling me to harass me about my son.  I told him to take my number off his list.  We will see how this works.  Probably not!

This is a racket, it used to be called extortion!  These people will attempt to go around the law when ever they can.  I have received calls from four or five different debt collectors, I request by certified mail that they no loner contact me by phone and to all the relevant information regarding the debt, including the original crediter, the original account number, names and addresses of all agencies that have handled the account and the bar id's of any and all attorneys involved.  I never here from them again, but another agency calls with the same tactics.  They buy old debts for #.16 on the dollar and they never stop.  I have contacted my attorney General's consumer complaint line and was told to write another letter and make formal complaint with her office.

These things may not be illegal, but they sure are unethical and the lawyers involved should be disbarred, but the have money and went to law school with the bar council.  (Sorry just assuming that)

I got a call from this number asking me to give a message to my neighbor who lives across the street - whom I have never met.  The guy said he was calling from Anthony Cambece's office and was has been unable to reach the woman and asked me to ask her to call him.  He said he used software to find me as her closest neighbor.

That type of call (a communication with someone who is not responsible for a debt about another person's debt) is strictly illegal under Massachusetts law.  If you like your neighbor (or even if you just have no reason to dislike her) tell her about the call and offer to testify in court if necessary.  Then tell her to call a lawyer immediately.  If you live in a state other than Massachusetts, have her check the law in whichever state that is,

They having been calling for months.  I explained I was dx with cancer, no insurance and had no assets or ability to pay them.  They keep calling and drilling me even as I am crying on the phone.  Have asked me for information that is none of their business (and if they know so much they would already have this info). I am sending the cease letter and if they continue to call I will file a complaint.  Complete [***] with no compassion..........Remember karma Cambece, it will come back around to you......

I received a call from Cambece Law Group at home and work. It is illegal to call a persons job about a debt. I am not sure what this debt is for because when they leave a message they never say what it is for. I am in a financial hardship and is unable to pay a few of my debts back. I have never received a letter from the law group at all. I am going to send them a cease and desist letter to stop all calls. If they need to send anything they need to send it by mail.

I just received a call from these extortionists today asking me to pass a message to my mom. I haven't told my mom so as not to scare her, but from everything I'm reading they sound shady. It sounds like now that they have my cell number they won't be afraid to use it. Should I ignore their calls AND send them a cease and desist letter? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Keeps calling me at work message form a Debt collector harassing calls all the time!

I received a very threatening call this AM from the "Law Offices" of Anthony Cambece...866-200-9392.
I have never been talked to in such a manner.....he insisted I contact my husband within minutes to return a call to him regarding a Visa credit card debt which I know nothing about even though my name was on the card.  He asked a number of personal questions...which I could not answer.  Finally ended up hanging up on him.   Very Rude.
