Quit calling me and wasting my time. Get a real job. Have turned you in to Attorney Gen. Get a life girl

Bottom feeders trying to collect on legally dead debts (zombie debts). The callers names include - Amber Knight, Mrs Whitaker, Nicola Cardenas, Chris Davis, Monica Johnson,  Mr. Blankley, David Wells, Miss Nickwater(?) etc.

The phone messages usually go along the lines of the following: If you would, give me a call back at your earliest convenience. I have, tried to reach you on several attempts but have been unsuccessful. I am responsible for making a recommendation on information that pertains to you, and I would like to make sure the information I have is accurate and current before I make that recommendation.

They never mention your name in these phone calls. Therefore you have no idea whether or not the information actually pertains to you.

Do NOT return their calls. This gives them a valid phone number to work with towards collecting a debt that is dead beyond the statute of legal limitations. Notify the FCC about the harassing calls. State that you have no business with these individuals and therefore they are breaking the law in several areas. 1) They do not identify their "company" 2) They do not state whom they are looking for.

Do your homework as to fair debt collection practices and inform yourselves.

Hi Amber Hi DAvid
I feel like we are family I hear you on my answering machine almost daily for the past 2 years. I am way past being mad. What idiot would call someone 800 times and leave the same messAge never to get a reply?

Now I'm concerned. I thought this was just another annoying but harmless scam going around, but now a couple people have had collections related to these phone calls showing up on their credit report!?!?

I just checked my credit report and I have an alert notice tell me that Cks has a  collection for something that I do not recognize as legit. I do have collections on my credit report but this one I am scratching my head cause I do not recognize it as something that I owe. What can I do? I am tired of this collections. I am considering to file for bankruptcy. I have learned my lesson about credit the hard way. I lost my job back in 08 and have not opened or asked for any type of credit. Everything is cash and if I don't have it I don't get it.

Scam for sure. Left eerie voicemail saying I needed to call ASAP, and I needed to realize the extent of the trouble I'm in. I requested more information to look up the company. The man wanted me to check my email immediately, did not want to give time to let me research.

They kept calling me so I finally called them back. A guy named JR Wells answered but wouldn't tell me what company they were. His excuse was that there were several companies represented at that phone number. They looked up my phone number and then asked for a name of a person I've never heard of. I told them that no one here has that name and they said I would receive no further calls. Strange.

This company has been calling my cell and home phone for months now, always giving the same names of David Wells and Amber Knight. I have reported this to authorities but now the horrifying fact is that I noticed a debt on my credit report under this company phone number! I have disputed this because the debt is not mine. The people who call are threatning and will not disclose any company or debt information. I absolutuely refuse to speak to them now, and unless I am ever given proper identification will not deal with unfounded and threatning messages.

yea i received numerous calls and also they got a hold of my job fax number.  They  faxed a employment verification good thing my manager show me that. Idk how they got a hold of my info and also my social but this ridiculous..

Hi this is Amber Knight and I received some paper that was forwarded to me and I need to get an statement from you in your behalf since I know that you don't know the situation please call me at 7572960105

I have made a formal complaint to the FTC and the FCC as they call using out of state numbers to make these harassing calls. Amber Knight and a person by the name of David Welt? (Welch or Weldon?) also use the following numbers: 571-482-4734 and 276-207-8042 and others, and these are recordings--so even if they call you, you can't speak to them at the time.  In order to talk with someone, you have to call them back.  The number for the Unlawful Call Center is 1-800-257-2969.  The number for the Do Not Call List is 1-888-382-1222. You can use both of the latter two numbers, the first to make a complaint, the second to register your number on the Do Not Call List. These people say they want a "statement" and that "the matter directly involves you" and that they "are very concerned" as perhaps you do not understand the paperwork they are preparing (which essentially is a threat). I did call them back, asked if they were a telemarketer and they said no. I asked who Amber Knight was, and they said, "She's one of our directors here."

Hi - I came home today and there was a message on my answering machine.  The person stated that her name is Amber Knight and preliminary information has been sent to her office and I may not be aware of.  She would like to give me the opportunity to provide her with a statement.  I saw your post regarding debt collector, Portfolio Recovery Associates, how they do not follow the law.  I've been getting calls on my phone from them but when I tried to call back--I can't get through.  I have debts, which had been wrote off as bad debt and purchased by some of these companies like Midland Funding, NRH, and Portfolio Recovery.  I requested for them to have my debt verify and validate but they told me that they don't need to do that.  I don't know anything about debt collection and they are scaring me.  I want to settle these debts and pay them off but at the same time I want to know if they have the legal right to collect and that I am paying to the right people and not having to pay again down the road.  I think some of my debts have been sold out more than once. So how do I go about verifying these debts and how they calculate my balance as a lot of them are so much higher than what I originally had on the account.  They keep threatening that I've already been summoned and that they will go to court and get a judgement on the balance due and if i don't settle now that I'll have to pay for the entire balance.  Do I have any legal rights to request for a debt verification and validation from them?  One of them that I am dealing with is Midland Funding, it looks like from my credit report they had purchased at least 3 of my debts.  I heard that this is what they do for a living and that they are very good at scaring you to pay up.  I don't want to go to court or have a judgement but at the same time don't want them to scare me into paying whatever they want on the balance.  I would be grateful for any help or guidance on this.  I am about to empty out my 401k and just pay them so I don't have to stress and worry about this so much.  I had leukemia and was sick for a couple of years, hence all my accounts went without payments for the last 2 years.  I am not in remission and is back on my feet trying to take care of all this.  I live in California.

Well for anyone that cares:

Looks to be the same person ...

I called them and told them they had the wrong number.

I didn't have the same issue with rudeness.  They said I have been added to their Do not call list.

I have to say, I've had worse experiences with other companies.  Even if they got the right person, just say it isn't you.  Not too hard.

Recorded message from Amber Knight. Any call from 1-800-984-3711 should be considered a con-artist, fishing for a new victim. Hang up and report them to the FTC, or the Attorney Generals Office in your state.

Wow, I am getting the same message, for weeks everyday. So i finally answered and it wasn't even for me... They said they were to remove the number.. They are really rude, They said we have been calling serval times and you have not least attempt to call us back.. And i am saying hello get the number right and maybe that person will call you back. What should i do if they keep calling..Help!!!

It has been Amber Knight...now it is Jill (although it sounded like she said Joe...I am assuming she said Jill because it sounded like a female) Cracker (I think)...same message

Previous message stated that she was calling about an arbitrary matter and needed a statement.

This is another number that CKS Financial uses.  They use numerous numbers with 757 and 804 and sometimes even one from 202 (Washington, DC).  I assume that one is probably some employees Cell Phone.  They call generally every day and leave a pre-recorded message each time.  I got the exact same message from Amber Knight that you mentioned above.  They are calling on old Credit Card debt that I know is past the expiration date but like any debt collection company they will keep calling and try to get money no matter what.  I hate how they leave no information like what company they are calling from so that you can do your own research.  Obviously they don't want you to know who you're calling and want you to believe it's something incredibly important regarding legal paperwork when really if you call them all they will do is ask for money.

Wow now they are really getting sneaky.  This time it wasn't Amber Knight from this number.  This time all the message said was "Hi this is Chris.  Call me back at 757-251-9018.  Bye."  Of course it was said in a very friendly manner to make it sound like it was someone I know.  This call came on my cell phone today and I bet I will go home today and the exact same message will be on my home phone as well.   These people are absolutely crazy and stupid if they think people can't recognize phone numbers.

Yep I just checked my home phone and the exact same message was left which tells me it's a recorded message.  I've had it before where they are calling my home and cell phone at the exact same time.

Just got the same call from Amber Knight. These people are relentless.

We have been getting these calls for some time.  I just now called them back, and actually got to talk to Chris.  They have been calling for a person who evidently had our phone number at some time, and who must have some debts (we've gotten calls asking for her before).  I told them that there was no one here by that name, and they promised to remove us.  We'll see.

On October 11th I received a call from this # and not knowing who it was and while also driving I let it go to voice mail. Unfortunately, I tend to forget to check my voice mail until it stacks up so I didn't get her 1st recorded message stating she needed my statement regarding a matter in her office, etc till she called the 2nd time.

On October 13th I received the 2nd call from Amber Knight stating that she'd made several attempts to contact me (I didn't know one meant several but lets keep rolling) regarding  a matter in her office and saying that she's afraid I'm not aware of the importance of the situation and she needs my statement and that I needed to call her immediately.

At this point I'm annoyed. I've gotten calls like this that were all scams - thank God I didn't pay them. Don't they know they are REQUIRED to provide the Company name when they call???
Check with the FTC people and know your rights!

Today, October 14th I received a call from Jill Crawford and she stated that her office had tried to contact me several times regarding a matter in her office and that she was giving me the opportunity to give a statement on my behalf.

Don't Pay people over the phone!!!!! Get everything in writing!!!!

I want it in writing!!!! Or don't bother me with your sneaky techniques - I'm not going to fall for it.

I've received over 15 calls from this number in the last month.  they have a wrong number and have been told that they do. I have turned them in to the FTC.  If everybody would do this it might put a cramp in their illegal style.  If anyone knows of a class action suit against these guys I would love to join in.

I have been receiving calls from this number daily for over a month now.  I refuse to answer or call back as I know it cant be legit.  Has anyone actually spoke to Amber Knight?  What in the hell do these people want?  I am so sick of this...

"Hi, this is Amber Knight, I have not received a response from you. Our office still needs to obtain a statement to process your paper work. This is not a solicitation. Please contact my office at 757-251-9018."

I've told these clowns they've got a wrong number and I've blocked 2 other numbers from these guys.  I've got complete history and recordings of calls.  Sooooo tired of this illegal childish nonsense.

I have been getting daily calls from them sometimes 5 times a day are they a real company. or a scam?

This number called me and said 'I don't think you realize how serious this situation is'; it was from a David Wells. They state that someone sent me a credit card last year and I made a $25 payment and they never heard from me again. They do not tell me who the credit card company is and the big problem is that I haven't had a credit card in my name in I know at least three years. One time before some random dude called, threatened me with a process server and I told him to send them on, I would fight it. Never heard back from them until today at which point I repeated everything the previous guy said to me and notified them that as soon as I told the guy to send the warrant, he hung up on me. They give no information. This company, whoever they are, is a scam. You may have credit card debt in your name but the fact that you are speaking to them at all, you are giving them more information than they already have. This happened to me one time before where somebody called from 'equifax' and we set up check payments to come out of our account. I lost the address that the man gave me so I looked it up. About four months later, Equifax called me and said they had four checks sitting there with no debt to pin them to and when I explained why he had those checks he stated, 'Equifax does not operate that way'. So, make sure you are dealing with the right people before you agree to send anyone any money.

i called these fools at the 757 251 9018 today, because they been calling like 5 times + a day so i called and "Chris" answered, so i preceded to ask why he was calling my number and he says it belongs to so and so, im like dude i was reading on the net and all these forums say your a scamer. and he gets all hostile and started going off on me then he hung up
