This is the 2nd time I receive a call from these people They call my sister in a different state .what is this about

calling asking for a legal statement from a uncle of mine who past away over7 years ago left call back  # + ext

They stated " I have a legal matter in San Antonio". I don't live in that city, I recently had my vehicle broken into and filed a police report in San Antonio, while at a hotel. They stated "I have 24 hour to contact them or have my lawyer contact them on my behalf." It was 8pm on a Monday. Not the appropriate time nor place for legality issues. I hope these people rot,  this is not appropriate for anyone to have to deal with.

They left a threatening message to someone ( female who has gotten marry since & change her last name) who I have not seen, talked to, contacted, or befriend on her on FB. I am not even related to her but  I do recall LOOKING HER UP on Facebook about an year ago,  I think somehow this Chelsea and Associates are getting their info from Facebook because that is the only possibly way this Chelsea and Associates could of connected us.

Someone called saying something about a legal matter that needs to be resolve right away in Pico Rivera Ca???? I live in the East Coast & never live there!!! Beware of Scamers -Chelsea and Associates.

These calls sound more like Indian scammers.   They simply might be using Chelsea as a cover.  Interesting that a California company would be using obviously illegal tactics to collect debts.

This is on file with State of California according to another site:

Bam Financials LLC, and Chelsea and associates are located on address 4521 Campus Drive ste 282 Irvine Ca 92612 which turned to be an apartment complex. I have verified the company information with California state Secretary website with http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/ and received this information:

Could you post the letter.  Leaving out your name and address of course.  Or names of family members.  These groups somehow or another get ahold of family embers and try to intimidate them.

A guy named "John Mayer" called my grandma left a voicemail stating that he was from an attorneys office and that if I didn't contact them within 24 hours that serious consequences would occur. Obvious crap. I'm not sure how these people got her number and I don't owe anybody anything. Just a scam or bill collectors with wrong info. Call was from 800 449 0097.

got call from this number said had bill never heard of company don,t have any bills unpaid I told I was going to turn them over to state of Florida they changed how they talked told me they were hunting a place called Man tran or something told them this was my home phone and did not know who they were looking for said they would take my number off list they better don,t I will go after them

this person said that I owe them 6000 from 2004 to 2005 from a Texas Credit Union

this man calling himself michael owen called my 89 year mothers neighbor claiming my mother has to sign a legal document  to claim  money from a distant relative.Wow! My elderly mother was so upset! I am very angry at this company for scaring my mother. over a 100 debt from over 7 years agp. it should not be legal for them to do such an act! guess this is all I can  do?

I received a letter from Chelsea and Associates.  So I decided I should give them a call.  I have never received a letter from these people.  They only provide me a  case no.  He stated  I owe Chase Bank  through Provident National Bank $4,047.47.  A Raymondo Powell said I was rude and my tone of voice was unacceptable. I know I don't  woe monies to these parties especially this amount.  He hung up on me three times and he said that I should retain a lawyer that I was going to need it.  When I responded that maybe I will, he hung up on me again.  He was asking me for DOB, LAST 4 of my social security number, my address.  I told him he had the information on the letter he sent, he said he was trying to protect me,  (what ever!)  and since I refused to furnish information, he became more upset.  He hasn't called me back Yet.   He was more upset because everytime he hung up, I would call him right back.

this number is calling my sister saying I owe money. I am finding others receiving calls from the same number. I believe this is a scam and needs to be stopped. It comes from Chelsea and Associates.

I got a call from Kyle at Chelsea & Assoc. and he said that this was his last attempt to contact me...well first of all it's the first attempt so how can it be his final attempt? Then he said I will need to contact my attorney. Well, I don't have one Kyle!! So come and get me for whatever it is you are scamming!!....He gave me a case and a phone number: 800-449-0097. Then...he called my parent's house!...Really? How the hell do these people live with themselves threatening people like that! He was VERY rude I might add!! Lets set the record straight here...I'm not a law breaker and I pay my bills and I pay my taxes!!...So Kyle if you're out there!!...Come and get me then!! And LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!!! Don't be harassing them!!! and or ME!!!

My mother received a call 12/5/13 from 1-800-449-0097 and they were looking for me in regards to some "incident" involving me and my car. A "lawyer" named Elizabeth Karrington? was asking if I still drove the car, was I currently working... all suspicious questions. Gave my mother a case number and everything and basically scared the old lady pants off of her. I have no idea where these scammers are getting their info, as I haven't lived at my mother's for over a decade, but they got my current city correct. I"m not a lawbreaker, no debts, no accidents- just a normal person, so I know this is a scam. Who are these people and how do they live with themselves?

these peopl are a scam have used other names like Kyle Evans and Chelsea & Assoc. other phone numbers like 949-502-0983 and 949-743-2688 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE report them to the FTC this is not the first time they have received this complaint there information is. 877-382-4357 also go to the FTC web site you will see this kind of scam is not new.
consumer.ftc.gov under scam alert. what ever you do don't give them info. about you.

Caller identified himself as Michael Owen at extension 101.  He asked to have Heather Sondrini call him about a sensitive legal matter.  Case #41083.

Rec?d a call from "out of area" 949-502-0983. The man said his name was Kyle Evans with Chelsea and Associates. Kyle said ?There have been several attempts to resolve this matter regarding a property located in XXXX? asked me to call his legal department at 800 449 0097 and reference my case number. Threatened me with legal action for some reason.  I have no debt, I owe no one a penny, never signed up for anything on line and never broke the law.   WTF?

Anyway, what company leaves threatening messages on an answering machine?

Go ahead Kyle, send people to my house ?to get me? like you threatened ?.

Your lack of communication and cognitive skills will surely condemn you to a urine-soaked boiler room for the foreseeable future. Rest assured nobody on here believes your illiterate lies.

who is the scam

my, excuse was to not, pay, and use every excuse that was possible to me not, to pay, of course i felt ike i was getting away from paying my bills, for years, but, it wasnt really them scamming, it was me, this debt was suppose to be resolved, and i didnt, i was given facts, about the debt, a nuber to dial, and @ the end of the day, i felt like i was the scam.. because they did work with me to get this closed, however i was upset, that someone had to gv me a call, to remind me about what i gave up on...i felt so much like a looser, i guess if im not paying my bills i am , this is 2013.....fyi..pay your bills

Someone from this number called my elderly family member outside of normal business hours and left a message claiming that there was some kind of civil suit or proceeding against her, and that she needed to call back about her defense.  This is obviously a scam of some kind.  I've reported the number to the local FBI office, the state attorney general, and to the FTC.  

saviors all i have to say..

These crazy people called my sister-in-law looking for my husband. She has a different last name than we do and even lives in a different state... so I'm not sure how they got her number. Here is the info they gave:

Kevin Daniels with Chelsea & Assoc Law Firm
800-449-0097
Gave a "case number" for some sort of asset litigation regarding our property

I've looked around online and it seems this is a scam. But I still have no idea how they got my sister-in-law's number.

Got a call from this number on my answering machine that was first and foremost the wrong #.  But what is more important the FDCPA is in place for these reasons.  The man James Carlton who left the message did several things against the FDCPA for one he said that this was the final attempt to resolve this person who does not live at this phone number's matter voluntarily, implying that involuntary actions would be taken, this is a threat.  Second to call their legal department and refer to case # it is not a case # until a matter has reached the court of law and indicating that the account or reference number is a case number is a violation of law.
