Same here Christina.  Message left on my cellphone today (provided by my employer and billed to the County Prosecutor's office!!!!) stating I was needing to talk to a Investigator Mary Edwards in regards to my ex husband.  I haven't seen my ex husband in 10 years!

"You People"?????????  Don't put everyone into one category.

Life happens! Have a heart. Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a change and don't judge unless you know ALL of the facts....what is wrong with people today? No compassion or understanding for others whatsoever.....it makes me sick.

I've been reading through these posts and yours caught my attention because you specifically mentioned  someone named "Investigator Taylor" and that she called and left a message that stated I was being named as a witness in an investigation/case. This just happened last night and I was told that the person named in the case that I was supposed to be a witness for is my ex-husband. Furthermore, even though I've gotten remarried and my last name has changed, she left the message for me using my ex-husband's last name while calling the phone that is listed in my new married name. According to my ex-husband, who has now spoke with "Investigator Taylor" and he's been told that the company that holds the lein against his truck (yes, he is behind a little) is in the process of charging off his account and that they are now the ones responsible for recovering his truck. However, he has NOT been notified by his lein company of this and when he brought that to her attention and told her that he is going to call them, she quickly told him that they will not even speak to him about this matter or even mention her company. Because of the economic times and hard things have become to make ends meet, I have had a vehicle reposessed and I know the process of it....personally, this all sounds like a bunch of B.S! P.S. I have called back twice to speak to "Investigator Taylor" and left messages. For me supposedly being such an "important witness for this investigation/case," she has yet to return my phone call.

SB Investigations is a company called Skipbusters. They are part of a larger company called American Recovery Service and Patrick K Willis Company. Patrick K Willis bought Eddie Murphys mansion in El Dorado Hills, Ca. The CEO is Peter Willingham The main managers for Skipbusters are David Copeland, Joey Yo http://www.facebook.com/joey.yo and Steven Shelk his wife Sara Harrigan works for the other side American Recovery Service.

The numbers they leave you are to what is called a spoof, trap or blind line the extention is usually the last 4 didgets of your internal account 6 didget number. These services are provided by companies such as http://www.bellescamp.com/. When you call in to these blind line's, you r called id block is defeated even if you *67 the before you call. Other things they can do with these blind numbers are input exactly what they want to show up on your called id. If they have your mothers phone number they can use that to make you pick up. None of this is illegal. They can also put your own number into the caller id to get into your voicemail. That is illegal, but they do it anyway and get away with it.

Everyone at Skipbusters uses an alias, to protect their identity and they hide behind the blind line to escape the threat of any type of legal action. The average billing for a repo to one of their clients is arround 350 to 400 for the investigation and 350 to 400 for the repo. The investigator makes about 75 dollars commission per car, of which the contracted repo driver and his company usually makes only about 275 to 300 dollars per car.

Please please, please do not be afraid of SB investigations, they will use every tactic in the book to scare you, your friends and family to get to your car. To them you are not human and they do not care about what problems you have, you are just a number. Call the lein holder on your vehicle and negotiate you may find that they are more amicable to your plight than SB investigations.

The "Investigator" is a debt collector performing skip tracing for their client.  BMW or Chase Finance, or Wells Fargo, among others.

It is a violation of law for them to pretend to be Private Investigators when in fact that are not.
There are NUMEROUS violations by this company... just do a google search.

They use several different phone numbers and can have any number display on caller ID.  Just do a Google search under "SB Investigations" and "Fraud and Concealment" Investigators to locate other phone numbers.  866-672-7749

This guy violates the fair debt collections practices act by impersonating a law enforcement officer issuing a warrant, which a bank can not do. Second he violates the FDCPA by discussing the debt with third parties (relatives). Called 5th 3rd Bank, who he works for and told them  TWICE where to pick up the collateral. But yet this a** keeps calling. Be aware, and get an attorney, this company can end up paying you big bucks for violating these laws. Be an informed debtor.

This guy Monroe is just another slick talking bank criminal. Dont take any crap off of him america, he preys on poor helpless people, huh quess hes just to lazy to make an honest living any other way

This guy called me about family and he is a bully. He was accusing me of having me of having stolen property and that he was going to arrest me. I had no involvement. Seeing as to how he is no judge jury or executioner, he has no right to do so. Tell him to get lost and get a real job that does not involve scaring real american citizens.

SB Investigators is not the name of the acutal name of the business and each and every one of those employees who call from blocked numbers did not put in the time and effort to warrent the title of investigator. Instead they consistantly break FDC practices by exploiting information easily found on the debitors credit report in efforts to run through various scare-tactics with hopes of... well, that depends on the case. Generally its for the repossession of an item.
They contacted me about a friend of mine and sure enough when I called them back their story changed several times - to top it off- when we looked up SB Investigators it brought back a site that exploits cheating spouses... nothing to do with banking. Such cowardice makes me sick.

Sounds like a all to familiar response. Let me guess Amanda is an employee of SB

A joint investigation by DMV and CHP Investigators has uncovered an illegal motor vehicle subleasing operation by Independent Dream Auto (IDA. Independent Dream Auto advertised a subleasing service.
Investigators arrested the principal operator of IDA--26-year old S. Evanovich, and booked him. Bail was set at $125,000. He was charged with eight counts of 571 PC -unlawful subleasing of a vehicle-- and four counts of embezzlement. (504 PC).  Concealment of collateral (154 a) is real you moron.  Suggestion;  do your research if your late on your vehicle note before reading any more blogs to educate yourself.  Morons like you are the main reason why this economy is in trouble.   Has anyone out there ever signed a legal contract?  Do you know what legal means moron?!

I got a VM from a supposed Investigator Parker.  The message stated he wanted to talk to me about an open investigation.  I returned the call and asked what investigation, where/how did you get my name and number.  He stated he couldn't tell me that and I said without you telling me something I am not telling you anything.  He replied with maam you can't "extort" information from me. I said and you can't extort information from me so don't call my house anymore and hung up.  The person they were seeking hasn't moved since 1990 so if they are looking to collect on a debt or reposses a vehicle they are not very good at their job.  As a matter of fact I know that the person is at this moment watching TV at their home with both vehicles out in the front driveway.  I do not know what this person was investigating and only assuming it may be a vehicle debt who knows...
If you call my house and want something from me than you must identify yourself and give a valid reason why I should communicate any information to you over the phone.

I got a call from Investigator Monroe too and I checked here to see what the deal was. I dont ignore my bills and would never hide a car -like apparently you ALL do.... Turns out, someone purchased a car in my name and Investigator Monroe (private investigator) found and tracked this individual, helped the bank recover the car and saved my behind. It was a misguided relative and I didnt want to involve the police - so it worked out. He should be commended for helping the banks hunt down deadbeats.  YOU should all be more responsible and quit whining. His job exists because YOU do -think about it.

Did your son think to just pay his bills?
Didn't think so. Nice family. Nice to know my car payment is 5% more than what it needs to be, because people like your son pull suff like this. Thanks a lot.

Excuse me but why didn't you buy a car in your name, since you're the one driving this car, instead of having your 90 year old grandmother buy it? You said this car never had insurance? Then please don't drive.

They are calling about my son's car too. He moved and missed payments. Called the bank and was going to get it paid in full when this investigation firm started calling. Investigator Taylor called leaving a message for me stating she needed to talk to me as a 'witness'. Then she called saying she was looking for him as a "witness to identity theft", then she changed her story to "bank fraud". Next time she called my son she had their phone number masked - his cell phone caller ID had MY HOME PHONE and it was this firm SB Investigations - Inspector Taylor. Seems like an FCC violation to show your caller ID as someone elses......

you are all wrong. This is a repossession firm. They are hired by the car companies to find debtors. They are not a collection agency and do not have to follow a number of their rules. You were contacted by an investigator. He did not steal your identity. He placed a phone number of a relative or your personal number in a internet sight that can alter your caller id. They are not going to stop till they get the car or the bank gets a court order of replevin. If the replevin happens police can get involved. He does not have to legally stop until the collateral is secured. You people need to do some research.

I am getting the same calls.  I lost work and am only making 30% of what I used too, well below poverty standards, for over a year now.  I offered the car back to the bank twice as a voluntary repossession and they refused it.  I asked them for a hardship department (through Fifth Third Bank, by the way) and the loan department at first said that they did not have one and when I called her on it, said I wouldn't be eligible anyway and would give me any info.  I supplied them with my medical restrictions verifications and paystubs, and was told this wouldn't help anyway because the collateral (the car itself) could in no part secure the loan and had no value.  They have sent persons on to my neighbors property and harassed other of my relatives just for having the same last name. Same long list of threats.

Investigator Michael Monroe has repeatedly called our home phone, badgering us about an adult child who hasn't lived with us for years. Investigator Michael Monroe somehow used our phone number as an originating number to call our child's phone. This ID theft is being reported to the authorities.

The caller is a repo man.

This guy Monroe (if that is who he is) keeps calling, About family I guess. He is a bully and tries to manipulate people by acussing them of different stuff. He also threatens people with things such as arresting them and saying they have committed a felony even to people that are not involved. He has no right to do so meaning is no law enforcement officer, judge, jury or executioner, tell him to take a hike and get a real job.

I said the wrong thing the car has always had insurance

First off my grandma that is 91 years old bought and financed a car so that we could take her places, the payments are never late and the bank put 2000 dollars in added insurance costs on to the note that was uneeded because the car has never had insurance. The bank was trying to repo the car over this. We would not let them have and told them they would have to speak with our attorney. They absolutely avoid our attorney and evedently gat this Monroe to call my grandma and threaten her with everything from accusing her of having stolen property to threatening to putting her in jail and saying that if anyone was thinking of her they would give up the car. Secondly Mr. Monroe if you know anything about these laws you would know that it takes a long drawn out process in court to get a replevin order, even at that I doubt that any judge is going to sentence a 90 year old christian woman to jail. In closing I would like to say that Mr. Monroe (if that is who you really are) is just another slick talking bank criminal that preys upon the helpless american and needs to be tarred and feathered and paraded through town so all the good people on america can see what genuine f$#%stick he really is.

Thanks for the heads up.  We weren't sure who it was (cops, scam, etc).

"Investigator" Monroe left a message on our machine.  We don't have any debts so I assume he's calling to hassle us about friends/family.  Will not call him back.

Received a call from this number. The caller identified himself as Mr. Monroe and said that I must call him back regarding an active/open investigation.  

He sounded threatening and demanding.  I was going to ignore the message since I do not owe anything to anyone, however, my wife was so worry and nervous, she made me call the joker.   He wanted to know information about someone with the same last name as mine. I told him to take a hike and suck a lemon and that I do not work for him or anything similar.

Mr. Monroe, (if that is your real name), do you own due diligence and stop looking for people to help you do your job we do not get paid for.

Yea, Monroe is a repo guy and can be pretty rude and threatening.  He is also not very good at getting contact info from his clients and spends a lot of time hassling friends and family.

I got a call from the same place, sounds like he works for a private firm.  He was calling about a "park model" trailer we bought for my mother in law and stopped making payments for, because she moved out of it.  Basically he was calling to let me know that the bank was getting ready to have him issue a warrant for us not turning it over.  We have it ready to go, the bank is just too stupid to tell the repo place what it is.

got a call from this #. Caller left message saying he was investigator Monroe. Said it was urgent to call right back regarding an open investigation. But no further details. Anyone have more info on this ##

who is this
