I just received a word doc. from these people. This was after a few phone calls. If you want it I'll be more than happy to provide it to you. I will no longer communicate with these people. Also the number they called me from was 951-271-4877 and was instructed with a recorded msg. falsely claiming they had mad several attempts to contact me. I felt very threatened by these people.

I keep getting guy named scott who wishes me good luck and to call him back or have an attorney of records call him back He is clearly Indian and cant say the name Kaitlyn to save he's life. Im guessing hes reading a script when he calls me because the voice mail is an Indian man telling me that it is dyer that I call him back and when I do it just a voice mail The way hes talks is so rude and threatening me is against the fair debt act. I don't owe anything to this company and so far everything that i have read has to do with property. I leave with my spouse and our home is in his name.

Just received a call from a gentleman named Phillip Reynolds (951-271-4870) he said he was a clerk with JDI & Associates LLC he asked to speak to my husband(he asked for him by name), I said he wasn't home and he could leave a message. He asked if I was his wife, I answered "I am", he said would you like to speak on his behalf, I said "I would". He then said my husband was the defendant in a pending law suit from an old HSBC account. He asked me to verify the last for of his SSN, I said no. He then transferred me to Todd Shaw, who presented himself as an attorney. He said my husband was being sued for $1909.37 BUT they would settle out of court for $823.44. He said I needed to settle today or my husband would be served with a subpoena at work. so if I wanted to spare embarrassment I should settle right now. He also said if I didn’t settle that his pay would be garnished $3400.00 in court cost and attorney fees. I put him on hold and called my husband from a separate phone. My husband said he settled everything with HSBC and they are no longer in business. I got back on the phone with "Todd" and said I needed to go. He left this number for my husband to call them back 951-271-4847. needless to say we wont be calling them back. I have several friends in law enforcement and several that are actual lawyers, I'll be turning this info over to them!! I'm so glad I found this site.

When you go and file your complaint with the FTC and your Attorney General’s office you might think about getting the companies mailing address. This is a little harder than you would think from a collections company? If I am collecting how am I to collect without some form of mailing address!

Call. Give nothing but a first name I used John and I would hope you use the same one just for fun!

Ask for the mailing address! You will get transferred to an “associate” that never comes to the phone. If you hang up and keep calling those 3-4 people answering the “CORPORATE OFFICE” phone line will start putting all calls on hold from the get go without opportunity to speak. (Each time you call back on hold and never to return!)

I plan on doing this a few times a day until I get the address. Or at the very least torment the tormentors.
At one point I got forwarded to some voice mail for David Murdock.. (Ohh scary!!) So l left him one of his very own messages. Intimidating and nasty.

I plan on pushing this as far as I can, perhaps if this bill they are attempting to collect is even real by any means when I am done they will owe me.

Flood them with calls asking for the address in the meantime, and if you actually get it.. Post it so we can all use it in our complaints.

Recieved a phone call from them today.  Also claiming they had made several attempts to contact "you".  Now I have just declared Chapt 13, and I think I know the name of everyone I do owe money to, but they are not on the list.  Not only that, but the phone is quiet since Bankruptcy was declared-as it should be.  I don't know how they got my number.  Told me to call 951-271-4878 back.

Threatening call. I called back after blocking my ID and they wont discuss why they called.

I just got a call from JDI and Ass.  They said that they were trying to get in touch with my daughter.They stated that they've been trying to get in touch with my daughter and that she's going to get sued.  Who needs this kind of harassment?  This is ridiculous!  Glad I read other replies.
S

The same thing happened to me a guy named Murdoch called my mother and said I was a defendant in a civil case for an account that has been resolved for years now.  He called me from 951-847-3979 was what my mother gave me. I called them back and he verified my email, ssn, and name I shouldn't have even said anything and hung up but he was talking lawsuit so I did not. He kept asking for my account number and debit card number and I simply was not gonna give that information over the phone and he got rude and kinda loud at that point. I'm glad I didn't and I will be reporting these douchbags to the California Attorney Generals Office. It pisses me off that these people just sit around and think up ways to intimidate and extort people and I can't stand that.

I just recently got a new phone with a new phone number and this number called and left a message.  The guy sounded like an Ass saying exactly what everyone on this post has been saying.  He said he tried calling me numerous times.  I called back and it sounded like the same guy.  He asked me if my name was a name i never heard before.  I told him ive never heard of her and he said he would take me off the list.   They didnt try to get any information off me.  I dont see how its a scam unless the guy just didnt feel like scamming me at that time.  lol

I recieved a call from this number today and they left a message on my cell phone. The guy who called was rude and nasty. I called it back and they didnt answer so I left them a message teling them that I dont know who they are and I would appreciate it if they dont leave anothr nasty message on my phone again.

They called and left an obnoxious message.  I called them back and they identified themselves as JDI Associates and Mr. Phillip Reynolds.  They were looking for someone I know and would share no information with me.

I received a phone call from JDI group about an hour ago.. (951) 847-3970 they called saying I had a complaint about my property. I dont even own property.. So this guy David Murdock calls me back starts cussing at me calling me a low life, that the sheriff will be down at my house in one hour! first off non of those companies use Real names they go by fake names. second in the wonderful state of CA after 4years its considered a "dead status". Third he called me by my maiden name. In the mist of him calling me names and using every name in the book.. I filed a complaint with the FTC. I let him know what I was doing... Funny I havent received a phone call back..

Got a call from this place I googled their name and read it was a scam! I had them send me documentation of the charge which is not accurate and since then they keep emailing me other people's documents that have their credit card numbers on for their upcoming payments they will be making!

YES!! Most def a SCAM. I received a message from a family member today, 9/25/12 that someone from JDI called and told her that I was being sued and to call 951-279-4500 and reference case number -***. I did so today (9/25/12 @ 2:35P) and the person who first answered my call did not give his name but answered "Corporate Offices" I provided the information and was told that my call was being transferred to a managing partner. After a few minutes on hold, I was transferred to a man calling himself David Murdock.
Mr. Murdock stated that I was being sued by a company called iAdvance for the amount of $1146.37 and that if I did not settle today, for $500.00 I would be served with papers and taken to civil court. I informed Mr. Murdock that I do not recall ever doing business with a company called iAdvance and that I would like to see all the documentation prior to sending any money.
It was at that time Mr. Murdock became enraged and started screaming several expletives at me. I simply just wanted the supporting documentation showing that the debt was mine. I stated that it is within my rights, as per the FCRA that a company validate the debt if asked.  He refused to send me anything and stated, he would see me in court that he had filed the paperwork.
I have filed complaints with both California AG and the FTC and for good measure I will do the same with my current states AG.

they called here for my wife for a check cashing place i told them to go to hell they are a scam

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

They called me today telling me the sheriff is coming to my house on Friday! I am sick of these losers! I don't owe anyone. The guy on the phone sounds like an abuser!

I got a call yesterday from Phillip Reynolds.. Just another alias for the same man calling all of you. But they again got a new number its 951-847-3966. This man threatened me and called me names. When i told him i am recording the call he said i ddnt have his permission to do so... Lol i advised him i was a bill collector as welk and the talk off he was attempting to use on me was against fdcpa practices but he could feel free to keep digging that hole hes in.. Because i am filing complaints with the FTC and attorney general.
