877-563-0008

Mail services, call from a Brian Foster. Collections I guess, they want me to confirm my address for paperwork to be delivered to me. Whatever

Threatening call very harassment call

call from "Unknown" , asked to call 877 563 0008, Brian Foster; called number, person answering said they were Nelson Acquisitions Group, said they don't have a Brian Foster, denied they called me, said I "must have been served" and to look on page 3 of the complaint; I said I had not been served with anything and if they were a debt collector they were already in violation of the FDCPA because I had never received mailed notice of debt; accused me of being a "professional debtor",  told me "no one called me" and to stop calling them.

Caller keeps calling my family members saying there's a complaint against me ..how do they get my adult kids number and address

First this is a violation of FDCPA which they probably know.  You are entitled to $1000 in damages if you can get them to court.  Have they said where they are or given you an address? What was the name of the company they gave?  Do you have anything on paper identifying them or have you only received phone calls?

these people are using another companys name for what ever reason they called me too and left message saying to call a brian foster about a complaint when i called back a really rude lady said i could only talk to her and i tried to get info about why they were calling me and she refused to tell me and said my number was taken off list... this is a fraudulent company

I just received a call from this number. Left a voicemail asking to call Rachel Harvey an Nelson Acquisitions Group, and to reference a claim number.

Asked for us to contact our daughter to have her call before close of business today on a time sensitive matter.

What I believe they were calling me about was settled by a lawsuit I filed in 2012.  Anything that old is past statute of limitations in almost all states.  So they are pursuing debt off very old lists.  If anyone can get this outfit's address please post so I can sue.

Since you want to sue them, why don't you "get this outfit's address"?

There is no address for this scam outfit, as they are obviously faking the name.  Good luck trying to sue a scammer that might not even be in the same Country.

I got a call about a complaint on file to call their firm i did and some dude said he was from nelson aquisitions said he cld look me up just using my name i thought odd he refused the file number he then transferred me over to a Kim's voice mail that said she wasnt home ....transferred me to someones home this is definately NOT a law firm or a civil complaint but a Scam! So yeah its a Scam!

I received a call from Brian Foster about being subpoenaed. I called this number 8775630015 he gave me. Something about some old debt I knew nothing about in 2012. If this happened in 2012, and it's 2021. The statue of limitations has clearly expired. Nice try scumbags!!!

These are people using old collection data looking for a sucker willing to give them some money. They threaten you with saying you will be getting a summons to court for your debt. They try to verify your name and address so they can send out collection letters to you. It's a scam that has been going on for decades.

The fake process server/location finder extortion SCAM usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Typical scammers. I called them back repeatedly until someone there showed their true colors by saying some very profane statements. Appears to be 3-4 scammers at this “company.”

It just happen to me! I called back and they just had me waiting

Today received an intimidating call from Mr. Brian Foster, from the sound and his aggressiveness I can tell he is a collection agent. DO NOT CONFIRM your name, this is what they want to harass you. Don’t be afraid either, just ignore them.

Just called back the 305-894-8879 #
Aasked to talk to the caller, Justin Morrison.
He said he never heard of him. Then I called
the 877-563-0020# and got the same guy and unloaded on him. All he could say for himself was the firm didn't have to be listed
and that I'm wasting my time because he gets paid to do this.The biggest asshat I ever talked too.
