i got a call stating john richards was looking for a reference who the f--k is he? lady  named jen called my job asked all kinds of personal questions re- old employers & she mentioned my parents address this was scary when i asked for a number & supervisor of this E-Z rental she claim to be calling from she hung up. Got to work the next day she had left a msg at my job with this number that does not work.wtf

Calling me at work...asking my name and hanging up on me....nuisance call and harassment.

I got a very strange call from this number today, it's not like what everyone else is claiming though.  I was called at my work number and someone who knew my fiance's name asked if they could use me for a reference.  I thought I knew who the person was who was calling so i said yes.  Then I thought about it and said to myself what would he need a reference for he own business and my fiance works for him.  When I called my fiance to ask him why his boss needed a reference he told me his boss was right next to him and had no idea what I was talking about and my fiance said that he has given no one my work number.   Really strange when you try to call the number back no one answers, how do they know all this information???

called my work telling me that someone used me as a business reference for someone i never heard of

I received two calls on my voice mail at work. She advised her name was Josey Langfield from Attorney Paul Cleary. She was rude with me when I told her this debt has long been taken care of. She said she would take further action by garnishing my wages. I told her she was breaking Sec 805 (A) (3) of the Federal Trade Commission by contacting my place of employment. I told her to not call here again, and if she does I will file a complaint. I noticed on "nickname" Jun 2 the callers name was Chelsea Langfield????

Paul Cleary called inquiring about my stepdaughter's mother stating it was important to receive a call back.

This attorneys office keeps calling my father in regard to a claim that has been filed against him through a c/c company that my father has never dealt with. He keeps threatening that he has 24hrs to contact before action against my father insues. This has been going on for several weeeks now, the 24 hour threat as well. I am contacting this c/c company to take the proper action to see what this 'Paul Cleary' is all about.

have you ever heard of a thing called strong arming or deceptive collection pratices?  these people may not actually owe anything but due to the tactics employed by Mr. Cleary and his staff they may pay for something that they do not owe.  If you believe that Mr. Cleary's actions have crossed the line please contact the New York State Bar to file a complaint or the FTC.  You may have a case for complaint if they have violated the Fair Debt Collections act.  Please see link http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm

Looks like Cleary's office folks are trolling the line here.  Nice to know they not only yell at you on the phone but online too.  I wonder how much they get paid to do this.  I don't even owe money and this S**&Head is pissing me off!!!

PAY YOUR DAMN BILLS YOU OWE THE MONEY--QUIT LOOKING FOR WAYS TO GET OUT OF PAYING YOUR BILLS YOU HAVE RACKED UP-AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS- YOU HAVE PRODUCTS BOUGHT ON CREDIT WHEN YOU DONT PAY THEM BACK THAT IS STEALING-NOT VERY PATRIOTIC-NOW IS IT? THIS ATTRNY'S OFFICE WILL HELP YOU SETTLE YOUR ACCOUNTS THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A PORTION OF WHAT YOU IN FACT OWE-GET YOU #$@! TOGETHER AND HELP YOURSELVES OUT

I also can't believe it. No really...I can't.

Several (2) people calling & harrassing me at work.  Being very rude to company receptionist and demanding to speak the owner of my company regarding a claim!!

Paul Cleary is associated with the notorious Giove law firm in Buffalo, NY. And, according to Budd Hibbs, they are on the verge of bankruptcy:
Giove Law Office in Upstate New York on the verge of bankruptcy?

Reports from Buffalo and Niagara Falls indicate a shift in payment policy.

Collectors must choose between hitting the bricks and finding work elsewhere
or taking a straight commission.  

Reportedly, anyone in position over six months gets 45% of whatever they collect.  Under that, their supervisor gets 10%, collector 30%, Second or hand-off gets 5%.

All of which makes them especially dangerous.  Now the pressure to perform
comes home to a personal level and the lies, threats and law-breaking may get extreme in an effort to pad the pockets of collectors.  

As always, we suggest before you give a single dime to any of the Giove/MacKinnon organizations, make sure you owe the debt, have verified the debt and have documents so stating in your hands.  If in doubt, contact a legal professional before giving them a dime. You can find help at www.naca.net  

Do not, under any circumstances, give them banking or personal information, Western Union or wire transfer money or post-dated checks. You may be throwing your money away.  

Have you sent the Law Office of Douglas Burgess money via MoneyGram, Western Union or a similar system?  Please contact us immediately with your receipt.

Here are the organizations we believe are in concert with
Giove/MacKinnon that may be impacted by this rumored bankruptcy.

Made a call after reciving a message that was left on my phone.  The guy that answered was real hesitant to giving me his address of employment.  Eventually after talking to him for a few minutes he burped out this address.  4210 Harris hill road Clarence NY 14221.  After doing some research found that Clarence is actually Baffalo NY. During out conversaion he was short and insisted that I give him my name.  

DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK!

A suposed representative from the office of Paul Cleary

This is someone who claims to be a rep from Attorney Paul Cleary's office in New York. It's regarding a debt that the secretary says you will be sued for if you don't set up a payment plan.

Same thing called stating they work for an attorney's office regarding a claim??
