888-431-9131

left a message of a recording saying that they have papers to serve on me.  I called back and they know a lot of information that they quoted from my bankruptcy filing and wanted 2200.00 to make Check Fraud charges go away.  They are claiming that the original amount is 179.00.  on an account that was closed 7 years ago.  Call was coming from Ft. Lauderdale Florida.

I started receiving calls last Friday from a Charles Dickson telling me I will be served at home or work.  Left a number to call 888-431-9131.  Called they had info from years ago which I thought had been paid $ 300.00.  No clue why or how it may not of been paid or why no one ever wrote or called as it was claimed supposedly in 2007.  I said whatever I will just pay it.  Guy put me on hold then a lady came on and said I owed $ 1,375.00 but she will settle for $ 600.00 today only with a credit card.  When I told her to send me the paperwork and supporting documentation she told me the sheriff department will serve the papers and will be taking me out in handcuffs and that will be embarrassing for the nice neighborhood I live in.  I called back and was put on hold 20 minutes and then they kept sending recording messages to my home number.  Amazing!

Got the same call. It is a complete scam. If you can get the company name report them!

Don't give them any money. You can report them to the BBB and the FTC. Its a scam. They got me once in December for 280.00 and tried again last month. They use different company names and give you [***] info, lots of scams going on right now. Just ignore, eventually they will stop calling

Just finished with nine calls to them without getting any information about why I was being called. Phone operators answer with "hello?", which is not exactly a professional way to greet anyone. Talked to three different operators, each of whom was rude and unprofessional, talked over me and all of whom transferred me to the voicemail of someone who was supposed to know anything about my "case", where I was supposed to leave all my contact information for them to "get back" to me. I'm calling BS on this.

Called left message that they were going to serve me with papers at my work or my home.  Said it was in their best interest I call them back.  SCAM!

Getting these same calls.  I noticed the caller ID said "697" and I sent it straight to voicemail.  They left a message that they are trying to serve me either at home or work and I need to call them. So I did. It was Curtis Payton Litigation. They say I owe $2300 to a bank for payday loans and since this was an "intent to defraud" the banks still have 15 yrs to collect on it, even though I filed bankruptcy in 2010.   She was rude, kept talking over me, and finally said "see you in court" and hung up.  I was a little worried until I started to google and found all these reports of the same thing.  I can't even find a website on them. I tried to search them in the BBB, but can't find anything on them there either!!

my dad got the phone call from the number 888 4319131 under my maden name not my married name saying they have papers to serve me. I called the number it said it was Curtis Peyton litigation. my dad said the caller's name was Charles Dickens. how could a writer that has been dead call me? I first google the number before calling seen the other posts on here and call the number to get the name and hung up before a person picked up.

Googled the name given, no such place turns up though I did find a obit for the name Curtis Peyton.  Looks and smells like another extortion scam op..

I got the same call about a check i wrote in 2007, I didn't even have a checking account it was from Curtis Payton about serving me at my job or home in the fine was going to be $2200, the rude lady talked over me and then hung up...I was worried but now I see it's a scam..I am also going to report it...

i got same call from Curtis Payton Litegation, glad to hear its a scam, maybe we should all class action lawsuit them for something like harasment or mental distress lol    Curtis Payton Litegation

Got the same call from the same number earlier in the week.  I have a fInfineeling the company is changing its name from one to another to get whatever they can out of unsuspecting individuals.  I called the number back, pressed 0, & was transferred from Curtis Peyton Litigations to Infinity Processing Solutions to Vince Gellar & Associates & finally got "Veronica".....

did anyone else do a search with chttp://www.instantcheckmate.com/ ? I went thru the process, but did not pay the fee for the search.  The calls from this Curtis Peyton started not long after.  Just curious if there is a connection?

My cousin in visiting from out of state and got the same calls. Was told she needed to pay over $1000 TODAY! The [***] she talked to wouldn't let her speak. He kept talking over her and kept hanging up on her. I tried calling back for her and was transferred to two or three different companies. When I finally got a live person, I asked how to take care of this issue and was hung up on! Scam, Scam, Scam!!

I got a call from this number today from Charles, which is a recording. Says I will be served with apers at my home or work. Since I been down this raod with bad credit and trying to repair it, I knew this was [***] from the start. If they wanted to "serve" me with anything, they would not be calling from a unknown number an having a pre-recorded message. Total scam and im not going to even bother calling the number they left...

Got two recorded messages telling me to call 888-431-9131 (Curtis Peyton Litigation). Since I have no debts, I knew this was bs, but I called anyway. Someone answered then told me to hold. I hung up. Called back later and some chick named Julie sd there were other callers ahead of me, so I needed to be patient. I told her "you called me!" I told her to tell me why they were calling me bc I had better things to do.  She claimed that I would be served with "criminal papers" on Tuesday but she wouldn't say who was pressing charges. Lol. I told her I work in the courthouse and knew there was no case pending against me, criminal or otherwise.  Later, my daughter told me these same ppl called for me on HER cell, too.  These people need to find legit jobs and stop bothering decent folks.

these people won't stop calling me looking for some lady name Florencewhen I call to say take me off their list they hang up on me every time they call 2 times a day

Got a call with "No Caller ID" on the screen, and did not answer.  I then got a voice mail message from a Charles Dixon with a pause before a computer generated voice stated my name and said they had paperwork to serve me at my home or work.  The message stated to call the plaintiff at 1-888-431-9131 with any questions.  I blocked my number and called the number.  It answered with a recorded message stating "you have reached Curtis Payton Litigation, if you have received a summons and complaint please let your representative know immediately".  I waited, then a real person answered the phone and I hung up.

Today I have received calls on my home phone and cell phone.  I called them back and advised them I have never banked with Wachovia and they advised me I had a debt from 2002 for $202.00 but now due to late fees the amount due is $806.00.  They advised me the Sheriff Department will be serving me papers. I advsied them to go ahead. Not only that I advised them not to call me again and she raised her voice and stated they will continue to call me until I pay my damn debt and hung up!  The call comes from 0103 and the message states Charles Dickson Law Office but when I call the number is says Curtis Payton Ligitation!
