Oh Gunnar! Please let me send hundreds of dollars, by Western Union, to a free, web based email address, to a person I never met. After all, they just registered their web page 2 days ago, & an advance fee seems like such a good idea! - - - - Sounds stupid when I put it all in one paragraph, doesn't it? Folks, if you can't get a loan at your Bank, or local (brick & mortar) loan shop - forget these crooks!

You're not very bright are you? Here you are trying to advertise a fraudulent loan company...on a site that is frequented by people who consider exposing frauds a hobby. Pure genius! Whenever you look at yourself and wonder how you've gotten to be such a loser, just remember this act of brilliance.

I received a call from this place too. So did several family members. They were looking for my sister in law's ex husband that none of us have contact with. It was VERY strange. they said it was Peachtree Law something. In his messsage the man said it was Mr. Winston and to call him back and gave an ext (103). He also gave extentions for two others we could call back- Mr. Baker ext 102 and Mr. Davis 104.

I tried to look them up online and couldn't find anything on them... makes me worried though!

I got a call too about a debt with the cash store. when i told them i contacted the cash store corporate office and was informed that it was bought by another lender then they said they had bought it from that lender because i couldn't be contacted. I had already given them informaton to take care of the bill so I'm going to cancel my card. Lesson learned. They sent me a email stating who they were and it was in reference to the cash store and told me that I would get a letter in the mail after it was paid. Has anyone found out if it is a legitimate business or not. Thanks

mr davis called me with ext 104

The caller ID registered as:  720-282-5738
Ms Ferrel left a message to call 800-780-5562 ext 104 within an hour.  From Mile High Lawfirm.

Sounds kinda fishy similar others in the forum.

What about a melvin sheppard at ext. 107?

They called my Bestfriend and told her that they needed to speak to me in regards to a case before the lawyer goes to court. She said I can take a message and they told her to tell me to call 1800-668-6163 EXT 113 with my case # pronto. Total scammers!

Received a call looking for my ex husband that I haven't talked to in 9 years because of Domestic Battery on his part.  The people kept badgering me, even after telling them why I have not spoken with him in 9 years.  I was very upset about there constant hounding and they hung up when I asked how they obtained my cell phone number.

I don't remember the full name of the Law office given by the gentleman, but I know it wasn't Peachtree.  

A coworker thought it wasn't a Law firm because they hung up on me.  When I called the number back the name on the message said it was Peachtree and the only option was to leave a message.

I would like to give them a piece of my mind because now I am having flashbacks from what my ex did to me.

Company is posing now as Mile High Law firm.  Well if I ran a legitamate law firm I would be in the yellow pages or have a website.  Well they have neither.  They have made a few threats, including telling me I don't understand and that 'bad things' will happen if I don't pay the full monies owed.  They also called my parents saying again that 'bad things' would happen if I didn't call within an hour.  

I dealt with Daniel Lee ext 111 and kept putting me on hold to talk to other departments.  They are a private eye collection agency that needs to be put in their place.

I have retained a lawyer to deal with this harrasment from this company.

Got a message from Daniel Lee (ext 111) and he provided a claim number.  I called back the number and ext # and spoke with "Daniel Lee".  I provided the claim (file) number and he asked who was speaking.  If I provided the claim number that he left me, he should have my name.  He kept on asking for my name but since I never gave it to him, he got mad and hung up.  How can you leave a call back number and claim number for someone that you dont even know his/her name.  Im not stuppid and know how they work.  Don't provide any personal info, if they call you, they should know who you are.

The women at the ext is Shawna Brady.

My husband received a message on our answering machine from Mile High Law Firm. Says to call with in an hour. I've been calling since last week. No one has returned my calls. They also, left 3 different messages for 3 other people on my answering machine.

I recieved a call from this number saying that it was "Mile High Law Firm" and that the matter was time sensitive and it was "very important" that I return their call. They said it was regarding a debt. These people are scammers and have been calling my phone for months. They try to use scare tatics to make people worried and return their call. Don't fall for it!! I don't answer when they call and hope that maybe one day, they'll get a real job and quit calling me!

This people called my mom and left a message to call them back about legal action with the name Daybell (possibly) and from Mile High Law Firm my mom figured it was about me because I once lived in Denver, CO and the number was Denver based. The number to be called back was 1-800-780-5562 *110 and a claim number the number that called was 720-282-5804. Sounds a lot like the rest here so I advised her to not bother calling them back! She stated that she will be reporting them to the Attorney General since it is across state lines and that it is a Federal  matter now! So if anyone has this number harassing them about "legal" stuff don't bother it is a scam and they are about to be in serious trouble! I also googled them and they do not have website but found them here http://www.bbb.org/denver/business-reviews/at ... ora-co-90131746 but the email address is not to them but to a real "Law Office" not Law Firm! in Denver that has none of the names listed here on this site working for them! Nor does the address match for them to write to them! Only other thing that links them to the office is the "other" number at BBB.org has listed, and this Law Office deals with Environmental Law!!! In this day and age you would think people wouldn't try this because of sites like this that people can find and find them out! Stupid people that try to sucker others!

My mother-in-law just received a call from this number, said they were Mile high lawfirm, the person calling was a Kristin Durbin 800-668-6163 X108, she was calling looking for James somebody, when my mother-in-law said she didn't know who that was and how they got her number, Kristin at mile high lawfirm asked if maybe James somebody could be a neighbor or a neighbor in the past........WTF? they are now hounding people to find out about neighbors????

I found this on debtconsolidationcare.com. Apparently Peachtree Law Center/Mile High Law Firm are connected. They collect on defaulted payday loans:

I just received a harrassing and threatening call from some rude person named Mr. Varner, said he was from a law firm called "Mile High Law Firm" in Denver, Co. I looked up Mile High Law Office and there is no such phone number for them as 800-668-6163.   I was transferred to 3 different people and the Mr. Varner said he was the general manager and wouldn't let me talk to the attorney about a bad debt he said I owed.....they lie....go crawl back under your rock Mr. Varner.

Don't respond the these dirtbags, they're a fraud.  They're just common criminals trying to scam money from good people.

Hey Alfalfa,

I sent them a letter back in Jan 22 and to this day I have not received any letter or information regarding my so called debt with them. I gave them the 10 days after notice and still have not received anything. The phone calls did stop though. Thanks for the advice. And I hope this company stops their scamming.

Just send them a cease communication letter via certifed mail with return receipt attached informing them you have no contact information for your stepdaughter and want the calls to stop.

called both my hsband and my cellphones looking 4 step-daughter said they were law frim dont no how they got our numbers  havent seen her 6 or 7 months she moved out of state dont want any more phone calls

OOOPS...the correct link is: http://www.naca.net/

If they made a threat to your brother that they were going to "make a decision on the issue if they couldn't reach you within the hour" and had no intention of following through with it, yes, it is illegal:

The Fair Debt Collection Practcies Act states that a third party debt collector cannot:

"Use false, deceptive, or misleading representations or methods, including but not limited to (a) falsely representing it is affiliated with the United States or any State; (b) falsely representing the character, amount, or legal status of the debt; (c) falsely representing or implying that nonpayment would result in arrest or imprisonment or the seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of property or wages; (d) threatening to take an action against that cannot be legally taken or that was not actually intended to be taken; (e) falsely representing or implying that you committed a crime; or (f) communicating or threatening to communicate false or likely false credit information."

This website has some good information. As I said before, if you don't feel comfortable dealing with them on your own, consult with a good consumer law attorney: naca.org

Thanks Alfalfa. I will definitely send them a letter because upon more and more research on the company and the issue they discussed with me over the phone, it is all sounding a little bogus. No they did not discuss it with my brother but they did tell him that they needed to get a hold of me within the hour because with or without my assistance, they were going to make a decision on the issue at hand. Does that sound like it's grounds of violation if they said that? Thanks again.

Jay-Jay--

You need to mail them a letter demanding validation of the debt before you send them anything. This is your right under the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) and they have five days to respond. Send it VIA certified mail with return receipt requested. Here is the link to a template:

Keep copies of everything you send. For more on your consumer rights under the FDCPA, see:

Also, if they discussed your debt with your brother, they have violated one of the FDCPA laws (third party disclosure), which is discussed on fair-debt-collection.com.

Cohen is an attorney who was once a part of the now-defunct debt collection firm of Trauner, Cohen and Thomas:

Longtime Collections Firm Dissolves Amid Client Lawsuits
Former clients say Trauner Cohen failed to file suits, used funds to pay firm expenses

Fulton County Daily Report

November 17, 2009

Trauner, Cohen & Thomas, a Sandy Springs, Ga., collections firm that operated for more than 30 years, has dissolved amid a whirlpool of litigation from former clients claiming that the firm failed to file suits on their behalf and used funds for those suits to pay its own expenses.

The State Bar of Georgia's Web site shows that partner Robert Trauner has left for a solo practice, while Michael J. Cohen has relocated to the Peachtree Law Center in Atlanta, and former managing partner Russell S. Thomas is with the Creditors Law Group in Norcross, Ga.

The firm changed its name to Thomas & Cohen earlier this year, wrote Kim M. Jackson of Hawkins & Parnell, who is representing the firm in the Georgia cases, in an e-mail response to inquiries.

"At that time, Mr. Trauner was no longer affiliated with the firm," Jackson wrote. "The firm's operations are limited to winding up its affairs."

A telephone number on the Web site for Trauner, Cohen & Thomas, which is still online, is answered by an automatic message for Creditors Law Group and includes an extension for Thomas.

Jackson said the Web site is "outdated."

Trauner's legal woes began in July, when a suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia said NCO Financial Systems gave the firm more than $1.3 million to reimburse filing fees and other expenses relating to more than 15,000 lawsuits the firm was to handle on NCO's behalf. Instead, the suit says, Trauner Cohen used the money for its own operating expenses, and inflated its reimbursement requests beyond the costs of actual filing fees.

On Sept. 3, a suit was filed by Midland Credit Management in California's San Diego County Superior Court seeking $1.7 million plus interest, punitive damages, restitution and legal fees relating to "30 boxes of files for which Trauner had submitted requests for reimbursement for court costs for lawsuits that had never been filed," which were discovered during a May audit.

The suit, filed by Kirk A. Pasich of Los Angeles' Dickstein Shapiro, accuses Trauner Cohen of breach of contract, negligence, legal malpractice and fraud, among other charges, and notes that many of the non-filed suits have languished beyond the relevant statutes of limitations.

That case has since been transferred to federal court in California's Southern District.

And on Oct. 2, a suit filed in federal court in Nashville, Tenn., accuses the firm of defaulting on a 2006 loan of almost $1.5 million, and includes separate charges that an affiliated company, National Asset Recovery Inc., defaulted on a $249,084 loan made at the same time. Thomas is listed as NAR's chief executive officer on the Georgia secretary of state's Web site, while Cohen is listed as chief financial officer and secretary; both are named individually as co-defendants, as well.

The suit, filed in Tennessee's Middle District by Roger G. Jones and Austin L. McMullen of Nashville's Bradley Arant Boult Cummings on behalf of plaintiff ACF 2006 Corp., accuses the defendants of breach of contract and conversion and says the loans were secured by collateral including all of the accounts and intangibles belonging to the firm and collection agency.

In a new suit filed Sept. 18 in Fulton County Superior Court, Zenith Acquisition Corp. and Northstar Capital Acquisition claim the firm failed to pay $124,005 in court filing fees for the companies' collection actions, including $64,490 that plaintiffs say they had already paid the firm.

The new complaint also says an unspecified number of "bad checks Zenith had purchased" were turned over to the firm for collection, but "upon information and belief, the bad checks were never even loaded into [Trauner's] system."

Jackson, the Hawkins & Parnell partner representing the remnants of the Trauner firm, wrote in his e-mail, "The firm no longer does business with the parties to these lawsuits."

"The firm has cooperated fully with all of its clients and former clients, and continues to cooperate fully with them," he added.

As to Robert Trauner, he said, "Mr. Trauner had nothing to do with any of the issues raised in the lawsuits and is no longer associated with the firm."

Bryan Cave-Powell Goldstein partner W. Scott Sorrels, who filed the Fulton County suit on behalf of Zenith, said his client did not wish to comment.

Stephen E. Baskin, managing partner of Kilpatrick Stockton's Washington office, who is leading that firm's team for plaintiff NCO, earlier declined to comment on that case; and the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the California and Tennessee cases did not respond to requests for comment.

Another Hawkins attorney, K. Lynn Finateri Silbiger of the firm's Los Angeles office, is representing Trauner in the California case.

The cases are: in Fulton County Superior Court, Zenith Acquisition Corp. v. Trauner Cohen & Thomas, No. 2009CV175307; in U.S District Court for Georgia's Northern District, NCO Financial Systems v. Trauner Cohen & Thomas, No. 1:09-cv-01787; in U.S District Court for the Southern District of California, Midland Credit Management v. Trauner Cohen & Thomas, No. 3:09-cv-02187; and in U.S District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, ACF 2006 Corp. v. Trauner Cohen & Thomas, No. 3:09-cv-00928.

Is this company Legit? I am asking because my brother got a call from them and they said that I owed money from an online cash loan back in 2008 and I do not remember anything. They said that it was not paid back and said it should be on my credit report. I just checked my credit report and do not see anything on there indicating something that wasn't paid. I want to know if this company, Peachtree Law Center, calling from an 800-668-6163 phone number is legit. They are telling me I need to pay the balance otherwise they will go ahead with paperwork and get money totaling to over $3000. I've searched for Peachtree Law Center or even Peach Tree Law Center and have gotten mixed reviews. Can someone please help? If this is a fraud company, I don't want to give them my money. I am unemployed and I do not want to waste my money on some scam that I shouldn't have gotten in the first place. Thank you in advance!

It is Peachtree Law Center's phone number. This is a debt collection agency.
