877-496-2373

received a phone call threatened that they were serving me court papers for a debt and that I could call the above # and give them the court # that they gave me and that they would tell me who was trying to collect. I called the number and told them when they said that I still owed the debt. that I had went threw a company to pay off the debts. they are telling me to fax them the proof or they are going to prosecute me for bank fraud. after looking on this site for there names michael michael and green associates i know this is fraud for sure.

I didn't answer this call, it was too early so I got a message from a man named Joseph Moss. He did not give a company name, just telling a Juan Delgado to contact this 877 #. He said something to the effect that Juan was avoiding Joseph, Joseph needed to serve alcohol in Juan's establishment, now Juan is in trouble and has some type of warrant. Joseph gave a Case # Q137824, and his # 402.396.7277 popped up on my recent calls. It's located in Nebraska. Not calling this 877 for sure, it's hooking me into a big scam.

Received a call from someone by the name of Melissa Lauften from the number (402) 396-7277, which is located in Nebraska. This is the first time I ever received a call from this number. She just mentioned her name saying she has been trying to get a hold of me to serve court summons papers for my county. She did not leave a company name. She stated that she hopes I am not deliberately avoiding her. She stated that if I do not respond, it will result in a life defense warrant and she will be forced to serve me at my work. She told me to call (877) 496-2373 to speak to the plaintiffs about my charges.

I just went to my county website and looked up my name and there are no warrants or pending charges for me. This has to be a scam.

Leilani I've  received calls like this before.  First of all a bench warrant or any other kind is a criminal charge.  Not paying a debt is a civil matter and they can only serve you court papers requiring you to show up for court and they have all your info already they won't call you and threaten you with being arrested at your job or anywhere else.  This is totally a scam! Block the number and good luck.

Additional Complaint Information

BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning the billing or collections issues area. Specifically, complaints are alleging improper collections practices.

On February 19, 2015, Michael Michael Green & Associates, LLC was informed of this concern via email and invited to discuss the pattern of complaints and determine ways in which the pattern might be alleviated.

On April 3, 2015, Mr. Michael met with BBB staff to discuss issues surrounding the company's patterns of complaints.

Mr. Michael provided the following information:

1. Collectors (term given to employees of company) are instructed to call each telephone number of the debtor (term given to individuals who owe money) only once. The collectors are to leave a message with the following information ONLY: company name, name of debtor they are try to reach, collector's name, collector's telephone number, and request for debtor to contact company.
2. When the debtor calls the company and requests a reason for the message, the company provides information on the debt.
3. If the debt is challenged, the company sends validation of possible debt by fax or mail.
4. If the debtor claims the debt was paid, the company will request validation of payment or will call the company.
5. There is script for the collectors to follow.
6. Most (but not all) calls are recorded up until the time the debtor agrees to provide payment. At that point, the recording ends. The call is then transferred to the financial department. Information regarding payment is not recorded as this is considered confidential.
7. They are aware of the Federal Trade Commission Fair Debt Collection Practices.
8. The company, at one point, expected the collectors to review and understand FTC regulations after which they were expected to take a text.

Moving forwarded, the following was discussed in hopes of alleviating the pattern of complaints:

1. Mr. Michael agreed to provide the BBB with updated company information. This will ensure that BBB has current, complete and accurate information.
2. Mr. Michael stated his plan to begin the recording of all collection calls so as to ensure that proper FTC collection regulations are being followed.
3. Complaints and their allegations of inappropriate collection practices may be negated by supplying the BBB with complete recordings of the conversations in their entirety.
4. As a best practice, Mr. Michael stated his plan to reinstitute the practice of his collectors reading the FTC Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
5. As a best practice, Mr. Michael stated his plan to reinstitute the practice of having his collectors take a test on the FTC Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
6. As a best practice, BBB suggested to Mr. Michael that he have his collectors sign statements indicating their understand of the FTC Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

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