Caller: GPSL HOLDINGS AKA SAM AND ASSOCIATES

THis is the 3rd company that has called me trying to collect on an old debt that 1. has been satisfied a LOOOOONG time ago, and 2. is well past the 6 years statute of limitations(most states).  I had the dingleberry from JDI group so mad, he hung up on me twice and screamed at me to shut up...LOL.  Poor soul, he just couldn't handle the truth...that I was well informed of my rights....and his....and that I would not be bullied into believing that I should pay him anything.  I verified no information with them...I told them that if they had a legitimate debt against me that I would be glad to look into it when they provided me written verification of the debt....which they are supposed to within 7 days If I remember reading the FCRA correctly.  I also told them that if they called me again, I would file a complaint with the States AG...which happened to be CAL by his phone number....and that if he called again I would be recording the phone call and it would cost him in a lawsuit.  So then...JDI group passed my info on to these cats at SAMM & associates.  Just got their call today....may answer sometime if I'm bored and give them the same schpeel.  BTW...My credit scores are all above 750 (one is even over 800)....I check all 3 reports monthly. My debts are all paid....usually ahead of time.  One last thing....If the debt is past the SOL...let them know you have what is called an absolute defense.  And NEVER get upset....especially if you know they are wrong...THEY HATE THAT!!!  LOL...drives the crazy!!!!   Which they are :)  Hope this helps some of you all.  Take care.

Do they go by sam and associates?  I got a call from them saying they have a pending allegation afainst me and something about my bank info. I talked to them and the guy was nice. I do owe this debt but i also dont want to be scammed. I live in nm and hes located in Florida.... hm

Im getting calls from SAME about a debt from 2009 that i really don't believe is mine. They say if i don't pay in a couple days i will be served and just my court costs alone will be at least 2,800. Yet they want even tell me the exact branch this supposed loan originally came from but just the city itself in 2009. I've never been in legal trouble and don't really know my rights if it is a legit debt. I received my first and ONLY call about this so called debt last week. Wouldn't the original company have made any attempt to collect years ago if it was legitimate? Im ALMOST positive i never even took the loan they're talking about. Just wondering what my rights are before i pay them 350.00 that i don't remember borrowing in the first place.

You owed an entire department?

It's not your job to prove you do not owe a debt. It's the collectors job to prove you do. BY LAW!
A collection firm is required to send you, by mail, a notice of validation within 5 days of initial contact. NOT e-mail or fax. If a collector can't, or won't, do so....pay him NOTHING!
Believe NOTHING you're told by a collector! Have it in writing in front of you. VERIFY any information you're given. VERIFY that you're dealing with a legitimate collection firm. If they won't accept payment by mail, to a legitimate address, pay them NOTHING! Do NOT pay a collection firm with a pre-paid or credit card. Do NOT give any collection firm access to an account. EVER!
There are Statutes of Limitation regarding debt in every state. Ascertain the SOLs in your state. Zombie/Junk collectors are not prohibited from trying to collect on old & invalid debts. What they are is unable to pursue them in court. They don't want you to know that. They will threaten, harass, bluster & BS. In the end, they're powerless. If you legitimately owe an old debt your credit has already been marred. NO collector can rectify that. Do NOT pay a collector a single dime on an old, or invalid, debt. Doing so will re-set the clock on the debt. Meaning that you have just left yourself open to a lawsuit for what was previously an uncollectable debt. This is another little tid-bit of info. that collectors do NOT want you to know.
Know your rights as a consumer under the FDCPA. It's easy, just Google it.
Be Safe. Be Aware.

Ok.  I'm confused.  Please forgive me, first of all, for being so.

I'm being harassed by this company on a daily basis, now.  I was all set to make good on the debt they claimed, but after reading some of the posts, here, I'm wondering if I got hooked.

The first inconsistency is they gave me a creditor name that I didn't recognize for a credit card I don't remember having.  Now, since I don't remember it, I can't prove that I owe it or don't.  I'm still trying to fix my financial history after a terrible first marriage.

Secondly, they call me at an Indiana number, but are trying to "serve" me at a Florida address for a debt I apparently welched on, more than three years prior to ever being in Florida.

Where can I go, once and for all, to find out if this it accurate or if I'm being duped?

Edna; if your still out there, you did the right thing. Please note the Cro Magnanon mentality of these "detractors " and their highly "give-away" remarks to you, pretty much says who they work for; they don't even have the guts to use their own names.

One finger up? What is that guy? [***] or what?

I think it's Ironic that "Peggy" says "if everyone would just pay their own bills" umm speak for yourself, says the one who didn't pay her bills and is in some collection agency. I can for a fact say I never had an "online loan" or a loan for anything other then my vehicle. This is for sure a scam "SAMM" company.

You're So stupid. That's what they want you to think stupid!!!! Since you so friendly with them pay off my 350 so called debt they swearing and can't back up. Put it on paper and send it to my mailbox like the rest of them ok?!

I had the same issue. I demanded that they send me paperwork of the original debt, as the one they claimed I owed was not on my credit report. I did not recognize it either. They never did, but threatened me. Finally I had enough and opened a complaint with the FTC. They responded by saying they would freeze my account, and no longer contact me. They also said they would send me the original paperwork if they found it. I never got it. I know your post is awhile ago, so I hope you worked it out. I just wanted to respond if anyone else had the same question. This is what worked for me.
