8884319131

Calls everyday several times...same message from Charles D and threatens with the same message about papers and serving you.   If you call back they are very harassing and say they will come get you and handcuff you.and you will be embarrassed.   Unknown number so I can't block but very mean folks  

I hope you call your bank to close your account. I think you can get your money back, talk to Bank of America about what has happen. You will probably get future calls because now they think your a easy target. Please go to this web-site before you make payment arrangement with anybody legit or not.

they call me on yesterday and threat me about owe 1345.00 2006 about some medication and I don't even know anything about this. I was scared say there would have me arrest and put in jail if didn't pay the money. I  glad I call a good friend told her about it and she call the no 8884319131 and they put her on hold for along time. thank she call me back and tell me it was a scam. and what really have they know my address and ss

I got a phone call saying need to serve me papers

I just received the call as well from the number a guy named zach, he said i had a warrant out for my arrest in harris country and i freaked out.  He then transferred me to the attorney over my case????? sounded like an old lady who smoked a lot. I was stupid and gave in to clear my name with any warrants. Little did i know i paid a different collection company for the same thing and got documentation stating it was paid along with payment receipts.  My bill was being recycled and different collection agencies were buying it.  My previous collector told me straight up to call my CC company and dispute the charge that it was a scam and that my account was paid in full.  Why can't these people get real jobs?????

I just went through the same thing as most of you. However, after giving my name and asking for the purpose of their call the operator yelled that I just answer the F$$$!^@ question. I then said I answered question and who are you to talk to me that F*@&!^@ way. He then hung up and now they will not answer.

Received a call at my home for my deceased son's girlfriend of several years ago stating they need to serve her papers. After looking up the number I concluded it is a scam. And since I have had not contact with the lady in question for at least 10 years I think that they might have a problem with any paperwork they supposedly have to serve.

I have been receiving calls for the past few days in regards to this scam.  That's what it is, nothing more then a scam.  If you try to call them out on it they get angry, yell at you, tell you they have the authority to do what they are doing, etc.  Contrary to their belief, they do not.  I have been in contact with the FTC and the CPBF in which they both have told me that what they are doing is a scam and illegal.  DO NOT give these persons any information and DO NOT confirm your date of birth or your last four digits of your social security number.  They will hang up after you refuse.

The same thing happened to me. The same code came on the caller id and they left the 800 number to call back.that guy was very rude they said that I refuse to pay and basically told me they issued a warrant for my arrest they were going to come to my house and arrest me and hung up in my ear I called back got someone else whom said I owed a payday loan at an address I never even heard of and that I basically committed check fraud and they were issuing a warrant and  the sheriff we're going to come to my house arrest me extricate me back to the state in which I lived in Prior.  I asked them what I needed to do they told me I needed to pay them 1400 dollars today that there was nothing else they can do. they said that I did this transaction online I had a direct deposited into our account that I never even heard of. they were rude and kept talking over me. Facebook are transferred me to a lady who was supposed to be in the lawyer handling the case and she was equally as rude I'm so glad I decided to google this company before giving them any information.

Something about important papers to be served.

This company always makes up "check fraud" phrases in order to scare people into sending them money.   If there is check fraud the bank notifies the writer of the check.  Usually it's just an oversight and it is corrected by the bank.  Only in cases of intentional bad check writing will the matter go to the police.   Debt collectors cannot get warrants or make the police do anything.  It's all a fraud.  Check fraud is a crime and only public prosecutors can file charges.  Debt collectors have no power of prosecution.

If you used a CC# or debit card,  go to the bank and see if they can reverse the charges due to fraud.  

Go to the police and make a complaint of fraud.  Also contact your local attorney general.

Call blocker might be your best bet.   Don't let these people push you around or scare you.  Ignore them.

Debt is civil in nature.  You can't be arrested for an ordinary civil debt.  These people toss around legal terms such as "jail", "warrants " and the rest of it, but they are just trying to scare you.  Only public prosecutors and police can charge anybody with a crime.  Being in debt is not a crime.

I received the call from the Charles Dixon (Dickson?) guy about being served papers. So I called the 888-431-9131 number to see what this was about. The guy on the phone claimed I owed $1300 on a loan I took out in 2007 (I never took out a loan in 2007). I also asked about the amount and of course he chalked it up to interest. When I asked if I could receive a validation letter stating all this, he got angry and hung up.  I called back and again requested written info on this so-called debt and he angrily said he would just put me down for refusal to pay. What???? How is asking for more information translated into "refusal to pay"? I told him I had a right to receive more information and he flat-out told me he didn't give "two s**ts" (actual quote) and yelled "See you in court!" before hanging up. This guy was a jerk.

Total scam.   If you had committed check fraud, the bank would have notified you and if serious would have been turned over to police and a representative of the police deportment would have interviewed you.   Only public prosecutors and police can file criminal charges.  Debt collection is a civil mater and police are not involved.   They always try to tell you that an ordinary civil debt has somehow been magically transformed into check fraud.   Total scam.  Don't fall for it.

They're just trying to scare you.  Ignore them.

I keeping getting phone calls telling I have commited a crime and they want to serve papers.  They have been bothering a friend I Made this mistake or crime around 2006-2008..I think this is a scam. They thetened jail. I wrote a check that turned out to bounce I did not write this check with bad thoughts. My attorney  said it was out statutes of llimmitatiios. I did not pay it because I included in bankruupty. Oh yes I was hung up on too!

Same here. Just received a call at work and at home and on my cell. These rats have called my 83 yr. old mother leaving a recorded message as well. I finally call the number back and got a live idiot. She wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. She hung up on me and then I got a phone call from someone that stated he was a deputy with my local sheriff's dept. and was going to pursue the arrest.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  How can these terrible scammers get away with this?

I have had this same problem off and on for a couple of years. Every time they call its a different company or a different person. They threaten to have me arrested and have threatened to have me served by the Sheriff. Problem with these threats are that they are ILLEGAL. IF you do owe a pay day loan it is a CIVIL matter not a CRIMINAL matter UNLESS they can show malicious intent to defraud the companies with NO INTENT to repay. If that were the case I am quite sure your real information would not have been used. What I have done is EVERYTIME they call me I file a complaint online with my State Attorney's Office, the Federal Trade Commissioner, BBB, and anyone else that can help. Either one or two things will eventually happen. Either they will stop harassing me, about something I paid YEARS ago, or they will have to answer to someone who has more power than me. Do not let them get to you they only want to bully you into giving in.
