I too have received phone calls from this company. When I ask for proof they hung up on me.  I was also told that I would be served papers.  Don't be alarmed -- if they won't give you proof then they are not a true collection agency.  They are very rude nasty people ---- don't give them a dime

I continue to receive threatening calls about a lawsuit. They indicate that I have a bonafide debt from a payday loan. They have not provided proof. Now they are calling and saying a process server is out there looking for me. I'll let them serve me so I can have proof about any outstanding debt. I'm yet to be served.

From an attorney:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-718-732-0174

"IF they do not provide you with the verification of the debt, the debt is invalid and not subject to collection.  PAY NOTHING TO ANYBODY UNLESS THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF THE DEBT, AND ONLY THEN IF YOU FEEL THE DEBT IS VALID - otherwise, let them sue you for the debt, as a real law firm will only bring a legal action on a truly valid debt".

THIS company is a debt collector.  usually collecting for delinquent payday loans.  They will call any and all family members to find you.  I would make them send proof that you owe the debt before paying them.  They practice shady collecting practices.  They use different company names.

Ann, did they take the money out legally?  They have taken money from my bank account as well using my debit card number.  i do not know who they are or how they got my debit card number. i cannot get through to them by phone.  my bank is investigation now, i just found out about this today.

The company is Sole Soluctions Management

Haven't you ever heard of Loan Sharking?  It's illegal!!

I got a voice message from them today. Something about a investigating check fraud? I have not used a check in years. No debt or loan of any kind. Used check to pay rent back in 2006~07? I don't know what they are talking about. My bank account looks OK! Who are they anyhow? No website or nothing!

I got a voicemail from this number stating that I was being investigated for check fraud.  When I called them back they said they were representing a payday loan (that I had paid off).  They denied having left me a voicemail threatening me with check fraud.  However, I still have a copy of the voicemail.  Anyway, they asked me to fax them a copy of the letter I have stating that I paid off the loan.  I faxed them a letter telling them I'm happy to comply ONCE THEY SEND ME BY MAIL PROOF OF THE OBLIGATION.  This will prove to me that they are legitimate.  I do not recommend sending them any financial information without getting something from them first.  I also told them to stop calling me.  Here's the info I have for them:  PO Box 274 Buffalo, NY 14227  Fax # 716-393-3155   A direct number to them is  716-507-4676.  I think it's either a scam or illegial collections processes.  Either way, you should tell them to send you evidence of the debt.  Don't give them your address. They should have it if they are legit.  Good luck.

I ALSO GOT A CALL FROM THESE GUYS AND I SAID SCREW THEM, BUT THEN THE NEW OWNERS SUED ME. MY LAWYER SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE PAID IT OR I SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED MYSELF. DUMB ME. I KNOW NEXT TIME, SO I WOULD SUGGEST TO ANYONE WHO HAS THESE BILLS, TO KNOW YOUR LAWS,BECAUSE IF IT'S A LEGAL DEBT AND YOU DON'T FILE BK, AND YOUR STATE ALLOWS GARNISHMENTS OR WHATEVER, THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO.

I RECIEVED A CALL FROM THESE GUYS ALSO, THEY SAID THAT I WAS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR CHECK FRAUD, AND THAT I HAD PASSED A BAD ELECTRONIC CHECK. I TALK TO MY ATTY AND WAS TOLD THAT IF I GAVE MY ROUTING NUMBER AND ACCOUNT NUMBER TO CASHNET, THEN I DID GIVE THEM AN ELECTRONIC AUTHORIZATION, BUT IF I OWE NOTHING NOT TO WORRY. HE SAID IF I DO, I JUST HAVE TO REPAY THE PAYDAY LOAN. THE COMPANIES NAME WAS PAUL JONES. I CHECKED MY BANK STATEMENTS AND IT SAID SOLE SOLUTION MANAGEMENT, SO I CALLED THEM AND THEY ARE A DIFFERENT COMPANY, THEY SAID THEY PROCESS PAYMENTS FOR DIFFERENT COLLECTION COMPANIES.

Just received a phone call from these people wanting me for check fraud!!! In the message they stated they have my ss# attached to a doc#, and they are going to send this information to my employment and doesn't require my signature?!?! Can they really do this?? From reading these posts sounds like bottom feeders like most collectors!

The real company is Sole Solutions Management  5360 Genesee Strret suite 305 in bowmansville, ny they also use fraud firm of Paul jones associates the numbers they use are: 855-238-6058 716-462-6711/10.  Sole solutions took $ out of my account & this is how I was able to investigate them.

Received a call from Kenneth "Ken" Phillips who was trying to track down my sister in reference to an outstanding debt from 2009.  He represented himself as an attorney with what he called a holding company and not a collections agency.  I asked questions about the supposed debt which he discussed with me in great detail.  He then attempted to scare me by telling me that possible warrants for her arrest could be issued in the county which she resides.  GEOGRAPHY CLASS:  the State of Louisiana is the only one that does not have a county system, we have parishes.  This is BS and I have reported them to the Louisiana State Police / Criminal Investigation / Fraud Division.  -

They called me and all my closest relatives (including my estranged father I haven't seen in 10 years) and gave them all detailed information on my supposed debt (in fact the only information they refused to disclose was to actually send a copy of the "debt" to them). They said it was for check fraud coming from an online loan, but then they claimed to have a personally signed contract too. They named a date and amount it was done, but I didn't even have an account back then. I've reported them to my state's Department of Finance.

Ken Phillips, from Paul Jones and Associates, 855-238-6058 and 716-462-6711. called my work today re: a bad ck from a bank I do not have. I asked him to send me the info and he emailed me his generic letter head and no company name etc. that I owe. I do not owe anyone and not a bad ck. He can't porve anything. However, these people are digging into years ago. If you  ever in your life owed anything,(of course you probably don't remember) it will go to somone like this. I was told they buy old debt from years ago and use any info to try to collect. I was told not to give Bank info to these people. If anyone finds out any info to stop them let us know. THXS

The area in and around Buffalo, NY seems to be full of these scam debt collectors.  Just ignore it and/or change your number.  Nothing to worry about

Mr.Diamond called with me leaving threatening message. He says he's an atty representing "Paul Jones and Associates". I tried searching for him in NY BAR Associating and nothing. I tried searching for "Paul Jones and Assoc", I've only found an architecture firm. This man will not give me an address for his business. What can I do, besides make a complaint with FTC and BBB? How can I get this person's address to send a cease and desist letter???

What do they want from me?

It is just a way to scare you into calling them back..I would tell him to send you a bill. Don't give them you address they should have it... right?  Than see what he is talking about.  Get his name number and address and send him a certified letter saying the only contact you want is by mail. Once you do that they are not alound to call yo any more.

I can't remember if he had a check bounce or not.  But you'd think if he did they wouldn't have waited 3 years to get ahold of him.  I think it's a scam artist trying to scare people into paying them by saying it's check fraud.  Have not heard anything from the guy since he called last Thursday.

I still have a checking account. I can't remember the last time I bounce a check. I have a very good job and lost it in 2007 due to the mortgage melt down. I went from making really good money to unemployemet. It was a night mare...   I filed chapter 7 in 2008 I didn't have any options. I have good credit once again. I had good credit before I lost my job... I wanted to make good on everything, but with little income and no other jobs that paid well, it was a night mare.  I got one credit card that I hardly use now. I try to keep everything paid for... Not going trough that again.. anyways  so I don't know what this check fraud thng is?  Must be something they use to get people to call them back...

He is just trying to get your attention... When you guys did have a checking account did your husband ever make a payment using his checking account and it bounce?

The guy left a message on my voicemail and left all the info and gave a reference number.  He said it was an investigation for check fraud, but we haven't had a checking account for about 3 years.  So I don't know what they're talking about.

If it is your husband so called debt, why are they talking to you about it?

Bill collector.   That is harassment...   Did they say that he owes money ? or check fraud?

Just received the same message as you Sandy about 2 hours ago, except they were calling for my husband and said he had 24 hrs. to respond and that they were going to send the information to his work along with his name and ss#.

Do you owe money?   I got the same call only he is saying I am being investagated for check fraud?  Some scare tactic????

He called saying we owed him money, and if we said we would pay by 3:50pm New York time, he would lower the price.
