866-852-6390

Called and left a rude message for someone that does not live in my home instructing them to call this number.

Called my parents, told them they considered me a felon and if I did not make a "defensive" statement in a week they would start proceedings to have me extradited to the States.  Left an admin@...... address for contact and fictitious name.

A man called my ex and then called me from this asking to call back on this same number(866)852-6390 about some bogus check fraud and that i had to make a statement due to a pending lawsuit,which is also [***]. He called himself investigator brooks,the number he called from was 813 445 4588

I received a call from this firm also. I thought it was also a collection tactic until i ended up getting served a subpena to appear in court. I ended up having to hire a criminal attorney because the charges brought against me weren't civil but criminal. My case ended up in the Harris County clerk of courts and while i was awarded a payment plan, I can never change the fact that now i have a check fraud charge on my record. It has caused me to lose my job & made it extremely difficult to find work. I wish i would have taken the opportunity to settle this out of court. Wasn't worth the hassle at all.

md...that is the stupidest post i ever read..it was filed as a criminal case  the SOL on a bounce check in new york is 2 years other states could be up to 4 years
PEOPLE this is just a low life sleazy debt collector who is lying and writing a bogus post he is trying to use a scare tactic...yes its a criminal fraud charge if you went to a store to fraud them by writing out bogus checks
now in todays world and even in the last ten years not many people write out checks anymore they use the internet...how many stores accept written checks today ..not many especaily when everybody has a debit
card i know if i had a business i wouldnt accept a paper check just give me the debit card and if the transaction goes through i know im paid...
dont listen to this IDIOT he is the low life lying sleazy debt collector who make only 7.00 an hour and isnt making any money so he writes his stupid lies on here..
HEY IDIOT....YOUR POST IS USELESS....IDIOT...

I also agree with MD.. 12x6 is in for a surprise. I went to jail over this.. You people think its a game if you want too! I'm not gonna sit here and try and convince anyone on their own freedom but hey.. Look if you owe the money pay it back.. Its not free money, and you have to expect this to come back to you if you try to get away with not paying it.. Think about it! I don't wanna put my personal business out there but I went through it with this.. 12x6 should do some research prior to giving bad advise.. maybe its why your in the situation your in.. anyways good luck to all you guys.. Take my advise pay the money you rightfully owe!

They served me at work!!

Yes, people can and WILL pay - if the debt is LEGITIMATE!  No proof of debt (debt validation letter as MANDATED by FDCPA) = no debt due!

Who served you?  For what reason?  If you're going to try to scare people, better luck next time....

If you ignored legitimate debt validation letters, then yes, your creditor (or collection agency) has the authority to have you served with a summons to court.  You should show up in court so that they do not win a judgment against you; even better would be to consult a lawyer.

As an addendum, you CANNOT go to jail over non-payment of a payday loan!

surprised...no im not surprised, your md or you sit next to him and your a lying low life sleazy debt collector i went to jail..i bet if you did go to jail you cried like a little baby..the only thing that is real here is you and md is a low life sleazy debt collector who isnt making any money so you post your stupid lies on here..go home to your mommy little boy

I dont know which of you to believe! I have to believe the people talking about their personal situations over someone who is giving advise on something they never been through before.. I mean what is with all the insults, grow up! People come on her to discuss about the phone # they got a call from, not your own personal bill situation, you people are f*%$ing pathetic! I tell you some people will try and do anything to get out of not paying a bill.. I was raised better then that.. I toke it upon myself to actually do some research on the company that called me and the agency that I owed the money to and guess what, they are legit! Call who they tell you to call and check yourself.. Broke ass wack jobs talking to other people about min wage jobs and you on a site blogging on a company calling you to pay a bill your trying to run from??? What a hypocrite! It is simple pay your bills and you dont get these kinda calls!

Look at this wanna be attorney trying to give advise! I looked into this the right way.. Take a look at this website and tell me again about not being pursued for this matter.. http://www.ckfraud.org/penalties.html

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
