888-810-5877

this number called the office more then once and even left a voicemail. they said we had to call back in a hour or else. this is spam. do not believe what they say. they have called and harassed us.

They left a message at my ex-husbands house and said there was a complaint and had like an account/case number. Said that I needed to call right away. They were calling from LDT ???

Harrassment scam

This call is for Rich*** ******* I'm calling on behalf of LDP. We've been retained to set up delivery of legal documents and there was a refusal to sign for these on your behalf. To avoid further legal issues you have two hours to contact the firm that retained our services that number is 888-810-5877 and this is in reference to complaint number *****-MD. Again you need to call 888-810-5877--

The fake process server 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.

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.

Received threatening call that appears to be spam - call came in as “unknown caller” and I was to call back to 888-810-5877 about a legal matter “or I would get into trouble”

Received a call from NO CALLER ID, stating the same exact information as referenced above.  After leaving the vm was told to call back the 888-810-5877 number.... it appears that they somehow know the names of the household as they ask for not only one person.. definitely a scam

Rude, arrogant and threaten to put all your information out there. Beware!
