888-585-9025

Got a voice message from 619-467-4664 telling me I was going to be garnished. Had my name, address, etc. Said I should call 888-585-9025, Doyle Kenner Assoc and gave a file number. Can’t get Doyle Kenner website to open. I have no delinquent accounts and have never been contacted about anything to support this. I call BS.

Same here ! When I called they asked if I was the person on file and hung up they hung up twice and stopped answering !

Jut got the same call. Oh boy, they are at it again!! BS!! Scam!!

I received a voicemail at 9:04am this morning stating they were from a local processing center and a garnishment would be issued  if matter was not resolved. Gave me a file # and to contact # 888-585-9025... I always go online to check any numbers or company info for those type of calls and here I am, replying to your input and that of others regarding same issue..

I was contacted by this number (888-585-9025. A processing center called on behalf of a law firm (supposedly) and threatened garnishment.

Got a call from these jerks too. Asking for my mom even though and this Doyle and Kenner crap. I called back twice and they said wrong number

That website went up October 7, 2020 and is set to expire next year.  They are not registered in any state and the address is a mailbox company called "Goin Postal".

The fake process server/location finder extortion attempt 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.

Same type of call received. Recited my name and a very old work address from like 20 years ago. Said they were an independent process server from [county name] and had a temporary hold on some possible wage garnishment paperwork to be served at [really old work address] or any other address on file by a courier and I should call 888-585-9025 to voluntarily resolve it by the end of the day tomorrow. Left a file# for reference.

Scam! Real process servers don't call in advance. If you haven't already, read the very helpful post by BigA immediately above yours.

Same! I called the number to see what was going on, and the guy wanted me to "settle" my debt for half of amount owed. When I refused, he got MEAN with me! Yelled at me, was condescending and rude. When I told him I didn't appreciated being talked to that way, he said "I can talk to you however I want." He told me I was a "debter" and my opinion didn't matter. So, I'm going to guess this isn't a professional place! I ended the call rudely with him. But they called back a second time with same message! I'm not calling back. Whole thing was ridiculous!

My sister received the following scam call today.  My sister is mentally disabled and it scared her!!!  These people need to be stopped!!!

"This is Jessica Rivera, and I'm contacting you on behalf of Baltimore City County Processing (Doesn't exist!).

I also received the same message just moments ago except it was for cook county, and the voicemail showed up from 319-720-9981. There was no phone call that was even attempted, just a voicemail that was left. Do not even try with whoever these people are as it's very likely a scam.

Hello this message is for Cynthia my name is Michelle Gibson. I'm independent processor for turn County. I'm calling you today as a courtesy call to inform you that I received a fax from the offices of Doyle Kepner and Associates in regards to a potential judgment Orlean. It does say here that it's scheduled to be filed with the county on Monday December 28 2020. There is a temporary hold placed on this documentation. This gives you time and opportunity to contact the offices of Doyle cutler and Associates directly for more information or to resolve the matter voluntarily. If this matter is not resolved by the end of the business day on Monday the local crew service will be scheduled to be dispatched to the address of 2120 Murphy Drive Apartment 509 along with any other listed addresses on file including listed places of employment in order to serve your notice of intent. Once again the filing parties name is Doyle Kepner and Associates. Their phone number is listed here as 855-705-0665. Again that's 855-705-0665.
