Good thought but she has honorable discharge, so we need to consult our own lawyer now.

I will add another THANK YOU!!  Could the JAG (or a military lawyer)  help you?

if anyone has received a call in which you were threatened with arrest, a lawsuit, or that a process server was coming out to serve you, please notify the New York State Attorney General by calling 716-853-8404.  Also report if you have not received written verification of the debt, or an original dunning letter within 5 days after the initial communication to you.  save all recordings where possible.

Thank you for your service and I'm deeply sorry and saddened to read this about your wife! From all of us at 800notes, thank you sir!

My wife got both her arms blown off and multiple other problems.  Like I dont have enough to deal with these guys call harrassing her after she just got back from overseas!

I filed a report, I suggest everyone else do the same.  Enough of these badboys will put these people to shame.  All their information is above in the people who also had problems who dug up dirt on this sad group for us!

These guys called another member of my family somehow and stated there were court docs to sign.  Also stating that they would come to my work or speak to my supervisor, or track me down at my house.

So my family member called me all worried.  I also received the same message that day.  I spoke with a Henry and stated that they do not make outbound calls. OK.  Very short and rude.  I told them to send me paper work, then we'll talk.

*** NO ONE SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE OR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT***    

These guys are full of it and using illegal scare tactics and forms of communication breaking privacy laws.

picciones brother is in jail for the next 15 years for murder u guys really trust him??? go look at his facebook....hes clearly a crackhead

Sam Piccione's Family takes out payday loans for around $500!  There is a video of him impersonating his cousin, and telling another agency (that does the EXACT SAME THING) that he has them recorded and he is going to sue them.  They verify the social security number of his cousin and he says YES I AM JOE REYNOLDS.  His own family takes out payday loans, AND THEY ARE ILLEGAL IN HIS STATE!  

Received phone message saying this was this is David Lyons I'm private courier for Travis Co, he was going to my home Thurs, to have 2 IDs, and a witness. If needed to reschedule call 1-855-264-9132. Well I called that #, and spoke to Jim Hawk, and asked what this was about? After asking for my name, he stated the call was going to be recorded, I then said find that I was going to place him on speaker, and our conversation would be recorded as well, he then said 'I didn't give consent to be recorded' I said well, I want to make sure that there is No missunderstanding of our conversation. He said-it's our company policy, I said that's fine, our conversation will be recorded! He didn't like that, and said "will have to end our call, and for me to just except the documents" I said I'm not going to meet no one, or sign any documents, not knowing if it's legit or what? J. Hawk ended the call with 'you have good day' I told him back 'you do the say' Bye!

Received a call from a Texas number (214)483-1616.  The message said that someone would come to my house the following day between 12-2 to deliver some sealed documents.  I needed 2 pieces of ID and a witness.  I called the number given on the message (855)264-9132 and was to speak with a Jason Reid.  No Jason Reid works there.  After much discussion and questioning, I thought they seemed legitimate.  They claimed to transfer me to their legal department  So, I authorized a payment by email and fax.  I didn't feel comfortable afterwards, so I started some investigating.  I know, wrong order.  I immediately cancelled payment and closed my account.  I called the (855)264-9132 number back and told them what I did and requested written validation of the debt, original balance, etc. to be sent to me via the US postal service.  They got very angry, yelled, told me that they could not send me what I requested, but they promised to get my money.  The man claimed that everything was being recorded and that the recordings would be sent to my bank. The Attorney General's office warned that debt collectors NEVER are to come to your house and should Always be willing to send you validation of the original debt.  They also said that no threats of any kind can be made.  The man I spoke to at Piccionne & Rinker said his name was Henry.  He admitted to me that the company uses several different names.  The collections agency the bank gave me was as the owner of the debt was NOT the same one given by Piccione & Rinker.  Definitely a stressful lesson learned.  Hope this helps  anyone that may be experiencing this.

Juat got a call myeslf. But it was actual debt that i had..

I also just received a call in regards to this number saying they were a courier in Texas and would be coming tomorrow to serve me with papers and I needed 2 forms of id when signing. I answered while they were leaving a message on my machine and asked what this was in regards to. The guy didn't know just gave me company name phone number and account number. So I called the company P&R and asked what this was about, they claimed it was an over drafted account from 6 years ago with a bank I never had an account with. I have recently pulled my credit report and explained to him the bank was not listed on there. He seemed shocked to know I caught him in a scam and began scrambling with his words

Yeah, same call about showing up to my house!   Bunch of BullSH*%,  and yes, same!  Whoever the hell shows will wish they did not!    Scam Artists!

Christopher banks...Texas number. These people need to be shut down. Class action lawsuit anyone?

Seems a lot of these scams are originating in Cheektowaga New York.

The woman is Tiffany Knobloch.
Jeremy Jacobs is Sam Piccione himself.

The company is a scam.

It is illegal to raise the amount of a debt.  No one is going to court.  Check your credit! Make sure you know what is on your report that you owe.

Also make sure you file a complaint with the ny attorney general.

Repeated calls from this number, no one identifies who they are on our answering machine. Now he stated he would be he to have us sign papers the next day between noon and two and left the 855 number if we had any questions. Confused we called the number back and got a PNR business name and they asked for my son, who is in his mid twenties and does not live with us. I stated again that this person does not live here and they said AGAIN that they would remove my number from the call list.

They just tried to do the same to me; however, I contacted the bank directly and then called them back. I had a overdraft fee of $69.21 not the $638.42 they tried to get out of me. I also filed a complaint with the BBB and submitted the documentation I received from the bank.

So I received a call from this company on Friday 3/7/2014 from a John Perri saying that he was needing to serve me with papers for a civil suite from  a company called SSE. When I asked for more information he informed me that all he had was an 855 number and a docket number which he gave to me. I called the 855 number and was quickly informed that I wasn't calling SSE but I was calling P&R and they didn't know who John Perri was, I was also informed that I owed a debt to TD bank in the amount of $638.42 and was transferred from a man to a woman who told me that I would be able to make a payment over the phone. I asked her for documentation from the bank and received an invoice from a company called Piccione Rinker & Associates in the amount of $638.42. When I told the lady I wanted bank documentation she gave me TD Bank's 888 number and told me I had to call them for their documentation. Which I did. TD bank had me drive to the nearest branch which was 45 mins away where I received documentation of a debt in the amount of $69.21 which I paid directly to the bank the same day.
I tried to call the 855 number back to let them know the debt was taken care of directly with the bank and ask where I needed to send the documentation the bank gave me. The manager Jeremy Jacobs asked me if the account number matched what his company had given to me and I assured him is was a direct match and was told that they were no longer willing to help me, that the bank committed fraud by accepting my payment and settling my account. He also told me that the bank sold his company my account; however, when I told him the bank did not have his company on record he quickly said my account was sold to him by a third party and told me if I called his company again he would call the police on me for harassment. So I told him I would call and report harassment and he asked if I wanted him to stay on the line, which I agreed to and three-way a call to my local department in which instance he hung up. I have three different numbers for this company and one for the so called process server who no one in the office knows: 855-264-9132, 716-504-5148 & Process Server 214-483-1616.

I just got home and had the same person leave the same message. It was for my son (who has been in prison for 3 years)but the only number they have is mine. I believe it is some tricky collection people. I called the number they left to change the appointment and It does not say who it is just to leave a message so I did! Did I ever...! Really do they think we are that stupid!

Receive a call stating they had papers to serve me.  called the number and received a recording from P&R associates.

This place calls themselves all sorts of names i found out (empire account solutions, empire legal solutions, empire asset solutions) They are all linked.  Everytime I call they say they are another name.  Ask them, I bet they say yes to any name you give them.  They dont use their name to throw you off... so if they do make you upset, you dont know which business is which.
