10 Million Dollar Judgment Against Debt Collector Global AG LLC Spoofing Caller ID

After nine months Mrs. Mey is still trying to collect from the collector.

ABC News has just published a story about the case at http://abcnews.go.com/US/va-woman-fights-coll ... 97#.T5k9JdX1w_w

I wish ultimate success to everyone who challenges these collection agencies. In my own case, and this is not a joke, on either side of me live people who work for or own collection agencies. They are bullies. These people, to get their jollies, have vandalized my property, attempted to poison my pets, made incredible threats against my own household, called the police on me and tried to have me thrown in jail while claiming to be able to have my aged mother thrown out of the house and the house taken away from us, and to top that all off, set up giant lights in their back yards to shine into the bedroom windows on both sides of my house! Are they in collusion with each other? I have no doubts.

Why do they get away with it? Because they have more political clout than I will ever have. The only reason I think they have not succeeded with their threats is that they have too much fun trying to make me angry to get me into fights, because that is when they call the police on me for making threats against them! I have caught onto their game, but it is very hard not to explode and say angry things. I am determined not to be driven out of my house by these "ghouls"; I have been here for over 60 years, and I hope to be here for another 20 more to watch when they finally move out.

Let me guess, another version of a collection group, that operated from Buffalo, NY a couple of years ago. The criminals/frauds should know by now that going after people who never owed a debt is totally futile.

I have a few questions regarding her case.  This doesn't mean that I don't believe her or that she sued a debt collector.  It's just that there are a few details that are either lacking or are incongruous with filing a law suit.  In Ms. Mey's defense, however, it wouldn't be wise to give every single detail of this sort of affair up on the internet so what doesn't seem to work, for me, about her story, might simply be a matter of details withheld or glossed over or simply a matter of too much journalisic 'licence' being taken with her story.

Anyway, to get on with my comment, Ms. Mey should consider contacting collection agencies to ask for bids.  Her judgement, in the world of debt collectors, is considered an asset.  I received a judgement against a debt collector many years ago.  The debt collector hit the road and left no forwarding address after I received the judgement so I wasn't in a position to make good on it.  But, within 24 hours of my judgement being published in our local newspaper, I was contacted by other debt collectors who were interested in buying the judgement from me.  It's all money as far as they're concerned.  Ms. Mey should consider setting up a bidding war to see who will give her the best return.  I hear that the going rate for the sale of a judgement is something like 75% of the amount of the judgement.  At the very least, she should consult with an attorney.

According to the story she has an attorney. Let's hope she finds a knowledgeable collection company who will help her collect the money in a professional and law-abiding manner.

Sick their own kind on em!

File harassment charges on both of them and try to get restraining order against them.  At the very least harassment charges can be filed.  Video tape all the nonsense going.

Yeah, the Sherriff's got my vote!

the filthy calls were made obviously coz' the idiots were desperate...and now they know that they are going to get caught

Seems pretty fishy that debt collectors would show up at your home and vandalize it or try to kill your pets.I think some people make stuff up.

While I am sure some do, I am equally sure that some outlaw collectors (really just gangsters with a phone) have done unbelievably outrageous things in their "collection efforts".  We know this, because once in a while one of them manages to get himself arrested in the process, or otherwise held accountable in court.

Keep in mind that time and again we learn that someone in the collections business has a prison record.  Such people are extortionists, not business people.

Here is one tiny example of the kind of lovely people in this field: <http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/iteam/I- ... -20111122-pm-pk>

Actually, IMO, 'debt collector' and 'law abiding' don't belong in the same sentence.  

In my case - I hope that Ms. Mey, if she really is having trouble getting her judgement satisfied, is reading this and that it helps protect her - I insisted upon cash when they called me and I agreed to sell them the judgement.  When they showed up the next day, they had a counter check from a bank.  I asked them why they didn't have 'cash.'  They insisted that this counter check was 'cash.'  I guess technically, it is.  But what I had in mind when I demanded cash was paper bills and metal coins...anyway, with the judgement still in my hot little hands, I took the counter check, stepped back into the house closing and locking the door behind me leaving the debt collectors still standing out on the porch, and when to the phone to call the bank to verify the validity of the counter check.  After they left, I went directly to the nearest branch of the bank upon which the counter check had been drawn and cashed it.

I'd never arrange for payments on something like this.  Expecially if what you've got is a small claims judgement - the payouts are small enough in these cases that it shouldn't be a problem for the debt collector to come up with 'cash' as in 'paper dollars and metal coins.'  I'd avoid taking any sort of check or money order even though I did and it worked out.
