Yep, same thing happened to me too.  Funny thing was, i had just checked my and my spouses credit reports and the debt they were threatening to sue me over wasnt even on there.  They have also started calling our family members, lying to them saying that me and my spouse were trying to contact THEM but that we didn't leave our phone #'s so they couldnt reach us!  THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE!! i don't know who these people think they are but i too have contacted an attorney who has advised me what to do if further contact is made.  RECORD ALL CALLS!!! first and foremost.  i agree w/amie-these people are [***].

oh, and i forgot to mention that Ashley was who left me a message and she told me she was calling from "quality control" and wanted to follow-up with us to see how we were treated!! HA!  i'll bet. not returning this call, sorry ashley!

Has anyone been taken to court yet that has not paid. These people called today and did the threatening thing and I received nothing from them in the mail or anything. Just curious if they are real or not. Thanks

Yep they left a message saying the same thing "A complaint has been issued to me and (my EX) wife at this address and to return the call with name and SS#, or further action will be taken against you."
My ex never even lived at this address. and we have been divorced for sometime... Has scam written all over it when they ask up front for your SS#.

this guy named mike jones called my pre paid cell # how did he get that? no one has it! and mispronounced my name and said i had to call this number and gave me a case number to use. after reading what other people wrote it sound like something i dont neeed to bother with

OMG, they called me today and had me crying by the end of the conversation.  The man told me I had one hour to come up with the finances to put a down payment of $400 and then pay $200 a month.  I am a single mother of 3 children and only work part time.  He also told me that if I have to go to court that I would end up paying $5000.  Glad to know that I am not the only one they are doing this too.  These guys are a**holes!!

I spoke with this company. They told me their name was First CG out of Corona, Ca. This company does not exist in any databases including the BBB. The 866 number is not out of Corona, CA it is Amarillo, TX. When i told the lady on the phone "Mrs. Blake" about my findings she argued with me and told me that everything i was saying was untrue and that i just didn't want to pay my bills. She was extremely verbally abusive with me over the phone which began when i told her that her company was nonexistent. I then told her that i had checked with the BBB and they do not exist. She got madder an said that that was not true that they were part of the BBB. I told her again that i spoke with the BBB and they do not exist. She then changed her story and said "well maybe we aren't but it's because we never get any complaints"! ....................Then she hung up on me....................I say scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

same thing just happened to me.  A guy called, said I would be served at wok in 2 hours. I called the # he gave me and spoke with Ebony, who was extremely abusive verbally...said the debt was with wells fargo...but it wasn't..I've never had anything with wells fargo.I was hysterical and a wreck by the time I was done. This debt is 4 years old and only 250$, she told me its 21% interest and I owe 1700.00 now.   No payment plan.  I kept asking her what time the sherrif was going to show up at my work, and she wouldn't answer that nor verify the info from "mike jones". Sad thing is, I almost paid it by borrowing money from my parents. She also said I would owe 3600$ in court fees.  I feel a lot better now...I'm not the only one.

I initially received a call from a male stating he wanted to verify my work address as the correct address for a constable/deputy to serve a summons to appear. I was horrified of this happening at work so he gave me a number I could call and see if they could change my address at least, or even get the situation worked out. I ended up talking to Ebony Drake. At first I had 30 minutes to charge $2,600 to another credit card or even a family members credit card. I was horrified, in tears, and took the rest of the day off from work. I asked my mother in law to cosign a loan from our credit union to pay it off. It was my loan officer that thought things sounded fishy. The thing that got me, was they were referring to an actual charged off credit card from 4 years ago. So I suppose this may be legitimate in that sense, but everything else sounds very fishy. They are not getting any money from me.

I have been receiving calls from them since april the sad thing is i paid them 1300.00 which i had to get a loan for and fell behind on all my bills. they ebony told me i will be charged with a mistermenior if i dont come up with 400.00 today and 400.00 thur. i wish i would of checked sooner.

Ebone Drake has been calling me directly now. These people are relentless. When I hear her name on the other end I hang up immedietly b/c she will leave me in tears and ruin my day. I am glad you didn't take out a loan for this, I feel so bad for everyone else they are doing this to. I just had a baby and was on maternity leave when I got the call. Good luck with everything!

My husband had set up payments with these fools, and they decided to bump up the agreement by a few grand. We finally caught on and made them send us an email with the agreement. It was typed on word, no letterhead no othing BUT...heres their address!

It's October and these scammers are still up to their same old 'tricks'.  They keep on calling my cell from 'restricted' numbers claiming they are police officers, process servers, sheriffs, whatever...they claim they have a lawsuit against me for fraud.  Um, yeah, sure.  Anyway, I called the 877 number and spoke to an 'Ebony' and a 'Mr. Jones'.  They claim they had my credit report in front of them and that I owe a bunch of money.  I said 'funny' I paid off all of my cards a 3 years ago.  They wanted me to pay them a few thousand to go away.  These are such pathetic scam artists and I'm sure, with their tactics, they've actually gotten some people to pay them.  DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE A DIME.  If they have a legitimate bill, they know threatening and harassing people is not the way to collect.  They are breaking laws and they can be sued for harassment.

Oh, I checked with the courts, no lawsuit.  It's just another threatening tactic to scare people.

If they call you, tell them to go [removed:lang] themselves.  But first, pretend like you will pay them, get their info and then call your police department and report the fact that they are calling up people misrepresenting themselves as being police and that in itself is a crime.

Well it appears that Ebony Drake is now with a company called CM Association Group.  I first received a call from Tori who was the "Counties Processor", although the Caller ID said CMA - Corona (951) 268-1581 and that they needed to verify my address so that they could serve me papers.  Tori even called my mother and left a message on her vm, saying that she was again from the "Counties Processor's" office and needed to speak with me in reference to a complaint and please have me call the (877)#.

When I spoke with Tori, I agreed to verify my address, however, wait...I have to call (877) 498-5819 to verify my address and refer to case number #: *****.  

Once I called that number, there was Ebony Drake, "Legal Representative" for this case.  Told me I now owe $2082.90 on a $581 bill, because my interest rate was 28%.

When I mentioned that I needed her to fax over confirmation of the bill, she refused and told me that I needed to make payment arrangements first.

After doing my homework, she "might" have got me for some of the monies (because I am going to try and fight this before the first payment is made) but hopefully, this will help someone else...

I have google searched everything and every way I know how - NOTHING!  :(

call threatening me and yelling & screaming

I got a message from these people last night. Message said something about I was going to be served the next day either at home or at work. Gave me a number to call for information, that number was 877-498-5819. I called the number and spoke with someone named Dina. She told me I owed $2589.89 for some credit card from 2004. She told me I was going to be served the next day unless I gave her the info over the phone to fill out a hardship application which would remove some of the interest accumulated. She then told me that there was a new law that allows them to report this debt to the IRS, and my penalty from the IRS would be $2800 on top of the money I owed for the credit card. At that point, I told her I wasn't giving her any information until I spoke with an attorney. She told me I can call an attorney, but she can only hold my case open for 1 hour, and attorneys don't usually work that late. She told me after the hour was up, it my case would be enroute for being served. It sounded completely fishy, and after googling the phone number this morning, found these comments. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE ANYTHING!! It is a scam and after reading all the comments here, I am looking forward to them calling me back!!

Caller stated that they were serving a summoms for court.  Wanted money deposited into the companys bank account.  Don't do it.  What a scam.

Got a call from these guys, left a message on my voicemail saying I would be served sometime today. I've been sued before, so I called to find out more. They told me they didn't have a court case scheduled yet because I haven't been served yet. In my county, that's not possible. I called the court clerk's office here, just to double check, and she confirmed it - they haven't had a summons issued. They were lying to scare me into paying. It's not legal to do that (FDCPA violation), so these guys are very shady. Do NOT pay them anything until you talk to an attorney or do so research!  There are many website/forums that deal with bad debt collectors and what you can do about it; don't be a victim of these abusive people.

LOL boy this is just like the phone game where you tell someone and they tell someone by the time it ends there is nothing remotly similer about the story.  Has anyone but me noticed the company name went from CM Associates into Capital so and so. People pay your debts / file BKRPT or in stead of sitting home getting your self confused on who you owe money to and how your going to justify the fact you ran up a debt and refuse to pay it.  Here is a option get a job and pay back what you owe.
