888-832-0241

This number is a SCAM!!!  It's obviously a computer calling and if you want to speak to a representative and it hangs up.  I have REPORTED this number and hope everyone else does the same.  I'm sick of being harrassed by a phone number who has no right calling me.  I hope this company gets in trouble.  Nice-they are calling me right now!!!!  No joke.  $)(*)#($*#)!!

I believe they are calling this number in error... it's now several times a day

They started robocalling my work Blackberry number a month ago. They call every day. Once I called the 888-832-0241 number and got a human. He asked if I knew John Edwards. I sarcastically answered, "what, the ex-presidential candidate?" He didn't get it. I told him this was a company phone and to stop calling it.
That led to maybe 2 days of peace, then the robocalls resumed from 888-832-0241, this time with a female voice leaving the message. I called back to the number they gave 877-749-2590. The lady who answered asked if I knew John (something else). I said no and asked them "to take me off their damned list". She said, "Lady, there's no reason to be rude." That's pretty funny, coming from them.
That was today. We'll see what happens next...

No it is not a good idea to call them!!! This is a scam!!! Call Walmart or Target or any corporation and they will inform you they have no affiliation with Bennett Law!!!!

This phone number started out calling a few times a week, but it has now escalated to four times a day.  When you answer the phone and press 1 for a representative, it hangs up on you.  I have no bad debts whatsoever.  Certainly not a shoplifter.  Ridiculous!!  Stop these people from harrassing us!!

Mannnnn that's on me like check it out right, I was with this Lil hood Rat female that I only knew for like 2day right right, so we up n Target n what not right, so I SHE STEALS SUMTHIN andit on CAMERA THAT SHEEEEEEE STOLE SUMTHIN NOT ME, n these punk a$$ Target memebers are coming up to me asking me where thee stolein goods r at, I tell them like Muthafuka I don't have it, so they say who has it I say idk, than this Werido CLAMS that they have me on Camera Stealing it, so I tell this werido like if yu have me on Camera yu can SEE THAT I DIDN'T TAKE SHYT, so I told hym your a dumba$$ that don't know how to do hiz job, n he told me that I will b gettin a letter n thee mail so I was like what every yu kno, so they send me a letter n thee mail from Bennett Law saying I OWN $500,I m like hold da fuk on I didn't steal shyt so I kall thee number n tell thee Rep. Lady thee story( same as I wrote above ) n this bytch gonna say it don't matter if yu was proveing Innicent in a regulur yu still have to pay also she told me that it don't get reported to LAPD officals so I told her yu got me fuked up n I'm not paying it n if yu wanna go to court bytch bring thee Video n this recording, and since than they keep kallin my phone n I keep telling them thee same thing, " you got me fukeddddd up" n if one of y'all sneeking [***] iz watching this, ima sue y'all [***] if y'all kall me one more time, n I'm have Federal Charges pulled up on y'all dogg [***].

That is not true they gave me the number to Wal-mart and they confirmed they were hired to represent them in reference to shoplifting.  Shoplifters think it is no big deal but there are millions of dollars in losses due to the idiots that dont pay for their merchandise. My son shoplifted they were really nice and let me pay for his stupidity in payments.

has anyone ever received a letter from them? i got a letter from them trying to scam money from me. it was a incident that happened 4 years ago and it was settled and paid in court. i dont know how they got my information but they claim target hired them to collect money. money they had already gotten 4 years prior.

I was wondering if you paid the Bennett Law Firm...My daughter recently received a letter from them stating she owed for shoplifting restetution after an incident that happened in Aug. 2010. She never received a court order and got lucky. The city never pressed charges on her. Is this a scam?! I don't know if I should pay or not.

In my case, the call from Bennett Law related to a debt I was happy to take care of.

It is not a scam.  She must have received a Civil Citation.  Store Owners have a legal right for restitution, the dollar amount depending on State Law and the value of the item stolen.  My guess is that the City does not need to press charges, a Court Order is not usually issued, and you/she legally owe the money (check your State Laws just in case).  Hope that helps!

I was caught in February 2011 for attempting to steal about $34 worth of stuff from Target(a pair of $8 leggings and two pairs of $13 sunglasses). YES!  It was stupid, I admit this.  I totally regret it.  I'm 19, so that just made it worse. My friend, who is 18, stole over $120 worth of stuff, and she's been caught before. A police officer came and "arrested" us and wrote citations, and issued a court date and all that good stuff (sarcasm). The security people told us we'd receive a letter in the mail with an amount we'd have to pay, anywhere from $50-$500. Considering I stole such a small amount, and they obviously got their items back, I figured it would be small. But hell no! During the first few days of March, I got my letter for the full amount! Shortly after, I started getting 800 calls. I didn't answer, but then I decided to call the different number on the letter. I talked to a surprisingly nice man, and asked about payments of anywhere from $20-$50/month. He said that'd be fine, and he'd put a hold on my file until March 25th (tomorrow D:). Well, reading all I have read about this firm, I'm not sure if I want to give them my debit card info! I haven't gotten any calls since, but I'm really afraid if I don't call and pay they're going to sue me! It was $34! And they got the items back, with tags so all they had to do was put them back out on the racks! We have our court date at the end of April, and I'm sure we'll have to pay some kind of fine. But should I really pay that $500 to these so-called scammers and con-men? I feel like $500 stretched over a year would be better than several thousand for an attorney!  ):

Could someone please tell me what I should do!? This is stressing me out enough as it is. I'm just a dumb kid who had never shoplifted before and I just wanted to see what it was like. I regret it more than anything, ever, and now it's going to be on my record forever! Any advice please.

so what happened at your court? what was your fine at court?? did you end uppaying Bennet law group? did the group say you were obligated to pay the bennet law group also?

I don't have to pay anything in criminal fees.  I just have to do a diversion class which costs $30, so I am incredibly blessed.  I have to go back in October with proof and it'll be expunged.

The money your grandson is paying the court is the court fee for having to go to court, I know it's stupid but they have a seperate plan to pay your court fines and pay the walmart fines. Next time they call just tell them what day you get paid and let them know that you would like to start a payment plan on the day you get paid. They will wait to call you till that day and you won't have to worry about all them annoying calls that you keep getting. I know them calls get veyr annoying. They did it to my mom till I got the phone one day and handled it.

I kept getting calls every other day till I told the last lady that called that I already set up payments to pay for my mental mother's fee and they didn't call till the day that I said I would make the payment. If you explain to the people you don't want to give them your card number until you have the money in there they do have enough respect to call you back on a day you schedule to pay them. I do find it messed up that they are making my sick mother pay the 250. but I guess I can't really complain, after all it was my fault for not watching her good enough. It still bull crap how they are gonna cetch her but not look on the cameras for whatever worker took our cart after we loaded up our food and had to have seen my huge wallet and not told me hey you forgot this but instead stold my 750. that was for rent and my son's diapers. Now that is screwed up. All they had to say is the carts are checked before other people get them. Anyways if you are firm but yet kind and do keep your word and pay them on the day you are supposed to they don't keep calling. Plus if you don't pay what you owe a police report will be made and you will have charges pressed against you as if you were just in the store that second and was stealing. Anyways next call you get be sure to tell them you aren't gonna give your card number until money is in fact in there and tell them the day your money is placed into your account and they will wait to call that day, plus they also do payments. They are kind if you are kind to them.

What was the number and did u also get a letter in the mail also

I couldnt finish paying off a payday loan and these people keep calling me and sent me a letter that is titled "Bennett Law". I wonder if this is a real law firm?
