Bill collector don't answer

got a call from his number n said they was going to serve me i don't know who this is i called but no answer

Used my maiden name, called and stated they had a summons to deliver but didn't want to deliver it to my work or home and to call back regarding case number they left to avoid further court action.  Then left a message on another line that they would be at my house between noon and five and to call back if I would not be there.  One they dont call to warn you, or give you a chance to not receive at work or home.  And call them back to say I wont be home lets them know for sure your I'll let a complete stranger know I won't be home so come on over!

This number called and threatened my wife first. Then he called my cell number claiming to be a process server and threatened me as well. I am retired law enforcement and don't take threats lightly so I gladly invited him over. Needless to say he didn't do anything but talk trash. He calls from an unlisted number as most people like this do then they give you this number to call. Then they pretend to be powerful people and threaten you with court. Been in court many times over the years. I call BS and will be waiting on my summons, so bring it on over Benjamin. Can't wait to see you big guy!

This number is one of several that Sherman Financial Group LLC, a debt collection agency masquerading as a legitimate business management company, uses to harass people and lie by stating they're from your county's process server department. Feel free to contact your state's attorney general the next time they harass you.

They called from an unknown number and left a message word for word what everyone else on here had. I spoke to a woman when I called back and she had all my info! My address my husbands work the last 4 of my social. She said it was for a debt my husband had from 5/3 bank 4 years ago and I was on it because IN is a community state and we are married. My husband called her back and she wanted $800 right then and then we would work out a payment plan for the rest. The debt was nearly $2000. We had nothing in writing and she harassed and bullied us to try to get us to pay it right then. Thank God we did not have the money because she almost had us but she was pushing a little too hard and made us think twice. She also called my older brother and  sister and my father in law and left them all the same message! They are trying really hard to get you but it is a total scam!

I recieved a call from this number today at my work place. The lady told me that I would be served court documents at my job soon and to avoid embarrassement I needed to call immediately to avoid further problems. They also called my brother and sister. I asked them the name of their company any they couldnt tell me that, also asked what creditor I owed and they couldnt answer that. I was afraid at first but I now think it is a scam. I just don't want them calling my home or work.

Just received a message from Everest stating he was calling from Process Service Dispatch and they were tying to serve me a court summons and they didn't have my current address. Hmmmm...I call foul play. I've lived in the same home for 6 years. They can come serve me if they want. Tried calling them back but nobody answered.

PRocess Service Dispatch just called me about serving my husband, but gave me a bunk address. I didn't correct them because the call dropped. They called back and I asked for the name of the company, a call back number and a case number. I called (888)732-1873 and someone from Sherman Legal Services answered. I gave them the case number and I'm waiting on hold now. I can't wait to hear what they have to say! LOL

so i get a call from "Process Service Dispatch" saying they want to serve my husband with a lawsuit and they wanted to confirm our address. the call disconnected, and he called back. i love this bullcrap, so i asked for the name of the company holding the debt, a call back number, and an account number. all given; "Sherman Legal Services" (888)732-1873. so i called the number. waited on hold. someone picked up and transferred me, but the call dropped. here i am, calling back a second time just to see what idiocy these people think they're gonna pull. so "Michael" answers and i give him the case number. he told me that my case is with Mr. Winton and transfers me to extension 329. so Mr. Jim Winton says that GE Capital/JC Penny wants to sue for a debt from 2007-2009, that was charged off in 2012.

here's some free non-attorney legal advice for everyone reading this... in most states this kind of debt, even if it was valid at one point, is called a "Time Barred Debt." that means there's a time limit to when the original debt holder, or anyone else, can sue you. in Puerto Rico (where we are) the time limit is 3 years. well GE Capital Bank is based out of Utah, where Time Barred Debt has a 6 year expiration date from the date of last payment. what this company may not realize is, they sent a written notice around this time last year about a supposed debt to Citibank/Sears Premier Card. Citibank's agreement says "applicable laws of South Dakota," which also has a 6 year limit from the date of last payment. so 2007-2009 this time around for JC Penny means they're at least one year too late to be able to sue. the charge off date means NOTHING for Time Barred Debt, only the date of the last recorded payment.

i asked Mr. Jim Winton what address he has, and he said he has a PO BOX. i asked if he had any paperwork with a signature or an address on it from the time the account was originally opened so i could corroborate what was going on. he said he only had a case summary. i asked him if he could fax me the paperwork so i could verify what he's talking about. he said he doesn't have to do that because "this is a law suit and that's what the courts are for." i told him he had to verify the debt before he could sue according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and he said he does not. he said that he falls outside the jurisdiction of the FCRA. i asked if his firm was a debt collection firm, he said yes. i asked if he was operating from outside the United States, and he said he is inside the United States. so i told him any legitimate debt collection firm falls squarely within the jurisdiction of the FCRA. at this point he got very upset with me, started talking over me, called me a know it all, told me he would send the court summons to the PO BOX, and he hung up!

here's some more free non-attorney legal advice for everyone... you can't sue someone through the mail, much less a PO BOX. if they had gotten a valid physical address out of me, perhaps they could have sent a real process server to my door, but again, we're not dealing with actual attorneys, or even a real law firm. these people purchased what may have been a real and valid debt at some point, probably for pennies on the dollar. now they're just trying to get people to make even one tiny payment on the debt so that the clock starts ticking on the Time Barred Debt again. the moment anyone makes a payment on a Time Barred Debt, that 3- 6 year time limit starts ALL OVER AGAIN. so if you even pay one dollar, they really could turn around and actually sue you because the 6 year clock starts over the moment the payment reaches them.

PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE. NEVER SEND ANYONE MONEY UNLESS THEY VERIFY THE DEBT IN WRITING WITH COPIES OF YOUR SIGNATURE PAGE AND ORIGINAL ACCOUNT OPENING DOCUMENTATION, AND EVEN THEN, PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATES. 6 YEARS OR MORE FROM THE LAST PAYMENT WILL PREVENT THEM FROM SUING YOU IN MOST STATES. YOU OWE THESE PEOPLE NOTHING!! NEVER GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION, MUCH LESS YOUR ADDRESS, TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE CLAIMING THEY'RE GOING TO SUE YOU.
