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.>

...and they are full of sh+t and so are you 'SAMMY'!

I just received a call from this number.  Like everyone else's call they stated they were some liaison legal department trying to collect on a check that I had written back in July of 2003 for $200.  The problem with this is I was in Iraq in July of 2003.

These guys even gave me a case number and a check number.  They also refused to give me the name of the bank on the check, or the address of the check cashing establishment.  Their initial call, the phone number was blocked.  And I did research on the so called debt collector.  The website for CCI and Associates ends in .uk.

Be careful everyone.

"They also refused to give me the name of the bank on the check, or the address of the check cashing establishment."

What does this tell you?

Tell them the next time they call you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have reported them to the FTC.

Am I able to reprot just the number to the FTC?

Yes you can and any other information you have!  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt076.shtm

I also just got a call from this number. A person named Springer left a message stating my name and the last 4 of my SSN and a case number. She stated that it was the legal dept and that I need to call CCR or else I would be served legal papers at my home.

I did call this number back and they are not a legal service, they are a debt collector.  It is illegal to them to show up at your home and make you fill out papers.  They did refuse to give me the name of the original creditor.  But I did ask for the address and correct name of the company after I gave my FTC complaint.
I am sending a cease notice and also would advise anyone to file a complaint with FTC, they can not threaten anyone to go to your home or for you to be arrested.
I was told they are CCI associates DBA Check & Credit Reporting Services

Send a certified letter to them, they can no longer call....also a debt collector can not call and say they are a legal dept to scare you.  also against ftc.  i would ask anyone to file a written complaint against this phone number and send a cease letter and a letter for written validation.  I have a feeling this is a bottom feeder. also the girl in San Diego   I dont know who you are but they dont go house to house they may threaten to serve you papers to go to court but a debt collector can not show up at anyone's home and demand you fill out paperwork....Illegal.  and if they do show up at my home I will call the police and have them removed from my private property

They won't tell me anything kerp asking for my info

My husband got a call today (they called my cell) from Investigator John Parker because he got a fax this morning from CR & Associates Legal Firm that they filed a claim against my husband and that this guy has to come out and have him fill out paperwork. Parker stated that he was calling to confirm our address but since he couldn't get a hold of my husband... He never left any information to get into contact with him, but that if my husband had questions about the claim against him then he could call CR & Associates (and give them the case #) and we could try to settle this out of court. Oh, & he did say my husbands first & last name and the last four of his social. I don't know if this is a scam or if it's legit, but I kept records of anybody we used to owe and I've never heard or nor remember any company by the name of CR & Associates. I "googled" the company name and these people are out of San Francisco. I don't know what to do.... could I call our lawyer and see if he could look it up if they claim was real?? :/

I received a call from Investigator John Parker. He stated my name and the last 4 digits of my social. He was working for C R Associates and Legal Services. He said if I did not call C R back within 48 hrs He would come to my work or home and bring papers for me to fill out and I was to have some kind of identification. This company is a collection agency. What or who can I contact about this?

I to also got a call from this number she said she was going to come out to my work or home to get a signature for legal paperwork she then left me a number to call I called and got this lady who wanted to set up payments. Like a dummy I made a 50.00 pament to them.
