Another number to be aware of 206-430-5991

This happen today to my daughter. I got a call from my daughters aunt telling me she got a call from a Mark Davis he said he was looking for my daughter because he was investigating bank fraud, my daughter called him back and he threatened her with if she didn't pay this debt for an online cash net USA loan by 4:30 today she would go to jail. My daughter told him she needed to speak to her mother and he told her it had to be paid by 4:30 or he would have Alameda county pick her up. Guess what she doesn't live in that county. Needless to say we looked into it and found not only your post but tons of others. From what I can see by looking into it hey use several different numbers our call came in from 206-430-5991. Just beware I have spoke to 2 different police departments and this is a scam.

I just got a call from these ppl they said I was going to jail of I didn't pay I was so terrified I was about to pay 2000 dollars before I snapped out of it.....            916) 290-9653



That's there latest number    F*** these people

I received a bunch of calls from a Texas number +1 (832) 408-6410. Saying they are investigating me for fraud. They even called my family. The voicemail I got said it was coulson partners and associates.

Got a call from Ron Woods/ Investigator saying I needed to pay $747 by noon or I would be arrested. E payday loan has them working my case from 07. Now these people have called me from several different numbers representing different companies but for the same thing. They even threaten my dad on his job. Now there representing Republic National Recovery, he was a fast talker tried over talking me all we kept saying I need to send $747 by money gram no later than noon or i would be arrested.

920-267-5487 is their latest number.  I have researched these criminals and there are thousands do complaints yet not a single instance of anyone being arrested and not a single reason to believe they are legit.

Republic National Recovery, Coulson Partners and Assoc have BBB ratings of F.  There is a reason they go by so many different names and change their phone numbers.  To avoid detection by legal enforcement and consumers.  

Here is best way to deal with them.  Act scared and like you believe them and want to pay but can't do so immediately.  Keep asking questions and do your own research if you doubt these fools aren't criminals.  No matter what you tell them they will come up with some plan to get your credit card number or ask you to wire the funds.  Western Union btw isn't a legitimate way to transact they use it because it isn't as traceable.  Waste their time as much as possible.  Means they won't have the time to prey on some unknowing soul with financial problems.  Record and write down all the info you can regarding phone calls.  Report them to FTC, FBI, STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND LOCAL POLICE.

THEY ARE USING ANOTHER NUMBER TO TODAY I GOT A CALL ABOUT A OUTSTANDING RENT A CENTER BILL AN THEY SAID IF I DID NOT COME UP WITH 1,400 DOLLARS I WOULD BE ARRESTED I THAN CAME TO GOOGLE AN DID SOME RESEARCH AT LAST IT BROUGHT ME HERE THEY CALLED ME FROM PHONE NUMBER 206-316-5970 AN TOLD ME TO CONTACT 678-317-4921 I THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST AND TIME GREAT DAY....

832-581-4856 Called my little sister and was harassing her. I then for the next two weeks called them 25x a day and now they have disconnected their phone I will start today on the 678 number these people are nothing but scum

Got a call yesterday from these guys,6027532752 and 6783174921, saying they were going to have me prosecuted for money I owed on credit card.  They said they were hired by the company I owed and they couldn't give me the companies contact info cuz it would create a conflict of interest and I had to go thru them.  Luckily I had just downloaded my credit report a couple weeks earlier, and had it in front of me.  So I started asking some questions about why I had to pay them and they said something bout securities I violated and kept going back to the arrest warrant they were gonna put out.  I calmly told them I knew the debt had been sold to another company, as I had my credit report in front of me.  After about a minute of silence they said it wasn't about collecting money, and that they were hired to simply find me.  After reminding me yet again I was going to be arrested they told me I could stop the warrants by giving them money.  I told them I didn't have it and they said they were processing the warrant that moment, I said ok, and they hung up.  I contacted a lawyer just in case then did some research and found these guys are fake. Don't fall for it, if you have been duped into giving these guys money, the lawyer I contacted said he might be able to help, his name and phone number is Charley Laman 6023881339 Email:info.LamanLaw@gmail.com. I hope this helps some of you.  Remember to stay calm and don't let them scare you, they don't want you to be able to think straight they want you disoriented and willing to do anything they tell you.

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

I got a call from these guys yesterday only now they are going by the company name Republic National Recovery and the numbers they are using are 678-317-4921  and 832-581-4856. I am determined to find them since I was so scared and only had a few hours I Money Gramed they over $750 before I came to my senses and started digging. I have contacted an attorney and am working with their PI. I am digging around for anything I can find on them so if anyone has anything new post. SO far I have been able to figure out that they are using the names of attorneys that are dead, they have several different addresses and the site they just set up has been up since 8/23/2013. I registered a complaint with 1 & 1 which is who is carrying their site and informed them that this is a fact company and provided them all the details. I also got a letter where they are claiming to be a company that they are trying to collect for and is supposed to be on the company letter head, yet they don't have the companies name correct and the Director of Operations that supposedly signed it, doesn't exist (at least not with that company). All  I can say is whatever you do, don't believe these people and if you want to, share any additional information you can here about them.

Weinberg, Cockran, Coulson, and Irwin : TIffany Adkins 1-202-827-0709 and Nathan at 1-678-606-5833 Same story about the warrants and money grams and felony charges.

another one 5134269551

Martin Anderson has new number 281-569-4352---ID comes up Weinberg Cockran.  Very  threating and says call who I think I need too, I couldn't do anything to him

This is the same company that called me from 216-282-0140.  The person calling me identified herself as Tiffany "Atkins."  So they're using different numbers and changing their numbers.  Basically the scam tactic is the same.  My thing is, how did they get my number, my mother's number and information about a company that I have done business with?  She said she was calling from the FBI, but I was to send a money gram to WCCI.

Yea just struck again under a new alias of Jennifer Smith. She would not let me talk to an attorney that she supposedly was representing and when I called the number on the web site the gentelman that answered did not answer proffessionally and was taken by supprize that I called. I explained to them that I did not have any money to give and that I was not going to ask anyone in my family to give them money and she said suddenly that I could make payments to them and that would work. Thank god I found this page, the number they called me from was 512-582-7329

WCCI "Tiffany Watkins" called me from 216 282 0140. BEWARE IT"S A SCAM!!!!!!!!!

I just got a call from a Tiffany Watkins with the "Government Office of Worthless Checks and said that if I didn't send $573 dollars in 1 hour that I will be supeonaed.  I work for the government, if the IRS doesn't move that fast. I goggled WCCI and say the reports for SCAMS.  These people need to repent before that show up on the menu at God's Barbeque.  Thank Goodness for the Internet!!
P.s. the number was 216-282-0140 and what made it sound authentic was that they had my name, address and telephone number.

They say i owe for a payday loan and must send $300 imediatly by moneygram or I will be arrested when I go to work. He says he is working with Wisconsins state attorney. He knows where I work and has many family members phone numbers. I told him I needed to verify they were ligit he didnt want me to call anyone but I did the states attorneys office who told me they would never work with debt collectors same with the milwaukee police, this is a scam. They called me from two numbers 216_282_0161 & 330_230_7686.

Hello again! The number I received a phone call from is 832-377-3048...when I looked the place up online it gives a different phone number with a different area code but they knew who I was. I called the federal trade commission you can find their phone number on FTC.gov...the lady took my complaint and said definitely do not send them another dime and tell them I spoke with her and gave me a reference number in case they call back...as far as the money I sent unless there is an actual lawsuit I will not get it back but I hope that this information helps others who may be having the same dilemma...and please contact the FTC bacause the more complaints on this company the better for all of us!
