I too am getting a call from this clown steve gotti, says my daughter owes 3157.00 for rent and fees, well found out that
her apt would have kicked her out had she had not paid her rent, and all of her rent was paid, but do not know how this clown got her info. PLEASE REPORT STUFF LIKE THIS TO  YOUR  STATE ATTORNEY,compliance page so that they can handle dudes like this

To Whom it may concern. My son rented a apartment in Orlando, he cleaned it up the best he could. They never ask him for a deposit so now they are wanting to charge him with the cost to clean it up and paint. He is young; so he was intimidated by the office and he agree to pay them back like $40 to 50 dollars a month. They rejected the offer and send it to collections. Now we have this guy named Steve Gotti calling constantly and making threats. I told him not to call me (Dad) or my son Christian ever again and he calls tow or three times a week. This is his number.813-283-4615. My phone number is 321-749-3545 and my son number is 321-394-5419. Thanks you for your help in this matter.

F*** steve gotti

I just got a call from this guy trying to get intouch with my fiancee, but I don't even know how he even got my cellphone number. He left his name and number for my fiancee to call him back. When I asked him what this was about so I could tell him, he just hung up on me. My fiancee hasn't lived in flordia for almost two years now. So why is he calling now?

STEVE GOTTI called me too!!!  AND MY PLACE OF WORK!!!!  He said I owed $519.00 for an apt I've moved out of!  When I moved, I had paid EVERYTHING and had NO OUTSTANDING balances.  He is extremely threatening and rude!

Calling for debt for apartment....I did a six month contact but was kicked out after three months...paid the three months i lived there....but man he is dope...help me out

This clown Gotti called saying he has tried to contact me several time, condesending, threatening and rude. I dont even answer the call from this clown...he does ot identify who he is with or why he is calling, but just threatens.

Sorry but your statement that they won't sue you for a debt under $2000 is simply  misleading. In some States such as Michigan, Virginia, Maryland and also Washington DC you could be sued for as little as $500. Court costs are very low. While in States like Pennsylvania and Florida for example the minmum is $1500.

Most apartment complexes will allow the collection agency to sue in the majority of the States for a minimum of $1000. Hunter Warfield does have a legal dept and does sue the debtors a lot. I had a friend of mine it happened to.

Cease and Desist does not guarantee you that you won't get sued by them.

Called my home more than five times yesterday making no reference to What the call was related to besides he was going to make a decision regardless if we called or not.  Well I hope he males the decision and stop calling me.

You can fax the letter and email it to them as well...

Also, here is a site where all you have to do is enter your info and their info, and the system generates a free letter for you.  Keep copies for yourself, of course...

What the debt collectors don't want you to find out.
Check out the Fair Credit Reporting Act and their website. YOu will find useful info there from sample letters to creditors, stop harassing calls, etc

Also, look up, how to repair your credit the legal way online... You'll learn a lot!

You can send the letter via fax as well...

keys on your phone. If you try to be nice, then treat them the same way they are behaving. Someone calls me and doesn't let me speak, I tell them, "Wait I have a call coming in, will you hold?" And immediately hit the mute button. I mean, don't even give them a chance to say no!
Or, just keep hitting keys until they hang up, lol

Or speak a foreign language.

Why not have fun with these idiots? I know I DO!

Everytime you take his calls, you are opening your file with them all over again. Did you know that you DO NOT have to take that call? There is no law that states you have to answer each and every call.  Wait, the good news keep getting better and better. Did you also know that debts have expiration dates?  Yes ma'am, you read right!

Just like a milk carton has an expiration date, so due debts. If a creditor hasn't been successful in obtaining a payment from you, (i.e., loss of job, moved, bankruptcy, etc), that's their problem. After a certain amount of time, it is against the law for them to pursue this, and wait! It gets better... they have to legally remove it from your credit file.

If you have any questions, write to me privately

itoldthetruth2009@live.com  I'll tell you how to do this, and free!  I'm curious, is the apt complex by any chance, Snell Isle of St Pete? It sure sounds like them!

Guy namedSteve Gotti keeps calling and saying money owed. Right..

They called my fiancé harassing him about an apartment that was completely paid up. They wouldn't answer any questions, and told him that if he wanted information, he would have to give them references to contact. He gave them my name and number, not realizing what they were like. They call me, leaving threatening voicemails for him, and they call him anymore. Steve gotti is the name I always get. I'm sure this works 2/3 times, scaring someone's friends or family into thinking their loved one will be in some legal trouble. I hope the certified letter from the previous comment works, thank you.

VERY RUDE STEVE GOTTI LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY PHONE! BEING NASTY DOESN'T MAKE PEOPLE PAY MONEY THEY DONT HAVE ANY FASTER!!

The company is Hunter Warfield
4620 woodland corp
Tampa fl 33614
866 494-9902

The agent calling himself Steve Gotti is rude and unreasonable to say the least.  The managers there are not much better.  I recommend you simply send them a certified letter stating that they are to cease all further contact.  If you can prove that they have made collection attempts after receiving a certified letter from you, an attorney can sue them for each attempt.  Don't remind them when they call that you have sent such notification, just get their name and hang up. Document the time and date of the call.  They will likely owe you more money than you owe them after one or two calls.  The fine is generally $1,000 per violation.  In addition it is illegal for a debt collector to threaten any action like litigation, unless they actually intend to pursue such action.  If your account balance is less than $2,000 there is very littler chance that such a threat is legitimate and you may have additional cause for civil action.  Speak to an attorney.

I have been also getting these calls about rent the was not paid. They dont want to give you infomation but say you owe this back rent money. This is b***s***.

Calls asks for someone not us.  He called 5 times on Thanksgiving.  Again today. I wonder how many times on Christmas?

I got a call from Antonio Rivera. Just his name and phone number, no reference to why he called. I just love not answering calls I don't know. And that's just what I did.

this caller hunter warfield likes to tell you that his going to take your home if you dont pay money

I got the same call from a guy called Steve Gotti and that i owed $2,231.69 from my previous apartment that i lived in. I had moved out for almost a year now and that i missed a few months of payment. I know i don't owe anything because I was in the Navy and that if i did owe anything...the apartment would've contacted my command reporting it first then giving it to this so called collection agency.

Why do not why check your credit report and check if this is scam or not?

these idiots keep calling my house asking for some person that i have no idea who it is ........making threats about action they were going to file against this person ..........when i called 813 283 4615 to let him know he was reaching an incorrect # ... this condescending a$$hole told me "no you listen to me" he would not even let me explain he was reaching a wrong # and he may want to recheck the number .... he got even more obnoxious so i told him to F * CK off in no uncertain terms............ try to do a nice thing and look where it gets you>> good luck to anyone dealing with these idiots. the guys 1st name was steve

okay so he called me, and yes he was very pushy and rude, he said that i owed 402.somthin $s and that he was the debt collector for my former apt agency, and that what i owed was my last $35 + mis fees... which totaled to $402.whatevas. anyways he was very threatining. see my hubby is military and his job requires a security clearance of top secret and if there is any prob w/ his credit then his clearance is in at stake. so he threatend me w/ putting this on his credit report in 48 hrs if i didnt send him $402 in 48 hrs! so i was scared but i had soo many doubts bc i kno that i didnt leave my last apt w/ debts unresolved ya kno! so i was like this guy might b a scam bc i kno i paid these ppl. so i googled his name and #... and i got this site. i just wannna say TY!!! to the ppl who left comments b4. i will leave further feedback as to what happens w/ my situation. but i just feel so sorry for the elderly ppl who r victims to scams like this, like c-mon, there has to be some kind of karmic retribution for this on him! but plz dont fall victim to this a**, dont give him a penny!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to do something about this guy... if he calls and threatens u, plz call/email me 304-634-4502 / sgrounds@usuhs.mil or sarag215@yahoo.com

I am going to make formal complaints and would appriciate your story!
