I just got a call today from someone on a unknown number that told me to call 213-290-2707 they answer as corporate but when I ask the name its Steel Morgan and Associates.  They threaten me to pay old debt of $2599 from before my bankruptcy.  They threaten me saying I committ fraud by opening a new line of credit and that I can face jail time and that I will get served with papers. They did not have my correct address. Seems like a scam.
Wow!!!!
Wow!!!!

Just finish talking to them and looked up to see who they where. Couldn't believe that it's a scam. He said he's name is "Steven" from Steele Morgan and associates  the legal department and he was actually asking for another family members address because he needed to serve paper work because familiy member had  to appear in court. Had me going until I went on this website and saw that it was a scam. The funny thing is that almost everyone in my family got the same call. "Steven " asking about this family member that we've haven seen in about 3 years. "Steven " didnt ask for any money he just wanted information. Funny!!!!!! The number I got is 1800-283-5517

Thank you everyone for your advice on how to handle this unscrupulous and unprofessional collection agency. Today I received a similar call from a rep who's name is listed in these posts as well as the company he identified as Steele, Morgan and Assoc.

After a 10-15 min yell fest by the rep, after I repeatedly stated that I was not interested in debating anything, simply requesting info on this supposed debt. He kept yelling are you going to settle out of court?  And continued to side step my inquiry of who is was, and debt info.

He gave me a false credit card acct no# and false write off and last pmt dates. This debt is past the statute of limitations for judgement and law suit. I compared his info with my current credit report which I just so happened to have. This agency is not listed as a current debt collection agency, so I question if they actually own any credit card debt of mine.

I ended the call due to him continuing to put me on hold, stating he needed to "help" others who were willing to pay their debts, then coming back on line to continue yelling. My phone rang within 5 min of ending the call, he left a msg on my machine, "Don't call back". Really?  I guess they don't want to negotiate a settlement after all!!!

I will send a debt verification letter, with a stop harrassment request. He obviously has my credit report info as my name, address, ss#. bd, phone # were all correct, which is most troubling to me. I am also withdrawing all my checking and savings accts to protect from levies until this matter is resolved. There are cases where collection agencies attach levies to bank accounts well after the statute of limitations, once they have your money, good luck getting it back, even if you are in the right legally.

If they provide legal verification, so be it, they can take me to court and the judge can throw it out per statute of limitations.

Good luck to us all in legal protection under federal law.

SCAMMERS-I just got a call from these scammers who were presenting themselves as officers of the court and that they had to serve me paperwork. They went on to say that is a very time sensitive matter and that I have to call them back within 24hrs so that I could be served.  I can honestly say that they had me going until I saw this web site.  Fortunately I didn't call them and get ripped off too.

Received message from a Damon, who claimed to be with Steel Morgan & Associates, Debt Collecting.  The number they called me from was 909 456 1885 said they were in Riverside, CA.  Looks like these people are still at it with a new number.  I didn't send any money but was about too.  I asked , for documentation and nothing has been sent.  Receptionist answers the phone, Hello can I help you.

DEFINITELY a SCAM! A guy claiming to be a "Lee Val" lval@steelemorgan.com called my cell phone number numerous times from a blocked/unavailable number and left harrassing voicemails and a "case number". I called back and he pretended to be and impersonated a "paralegal" in which he would send someone to retain/arrest me to appear in court unless I paid. WHAT A JOKE! He terrified me into believing him and so regrettably I gave him my card number thinking I was avoiding the court and paying off past debt when in reality it was a SCAM. They have since sent me several emails and continuous phone calls even though I requested that they CEASE until they send me documents of Debt Validation. Suddenly I started receiving emails from a Lisandro "Lee" Valenzuela <lvalenzuela@blackstone-financial-group.com> (how the hell did this person from a different company get my email???) who claimed to be BLACKSTONE FINANCIAL, which is also known for being a SCAM company. They then EMAILED (even though I requested to be sent by USPS postal mail, which they did not adhere to my request) me several fake documents that appeared to be real, but in fact were NOT. The documents were not real as I had contacted a legal consult from Krohn & Moss @ www.krohnandmoss.com and upon consultation, researched my situation and said that the company is not legit and in fact was a scam. I immediately notified my bank of the dispute of transaction/fraud and cancelled my card. They are currently doing an investigation and in the process of returning my money to me (I received half back so far). I also filed a Victim's Consumer Complaint on the Federal Trade Commission website @ ftc.gov and also filed a complaint on the FBI Internet Crime Complaint center @ ic3.gov. In addition, I am filing a fraud police report. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR schemes. If in doubt, DO question and file immediately! I plan to sue them if they do not return my money and if they continue to harrass me with their breach of privacy and tactless ways.

The scammer like above puts the number out and post positive things about the scammers. Hoping someone comes here and sees the positive post and thinks it legit.
No one comes here and checks a number because they know the number and had great things to say about it. No one does that.
It would be like me saying 555-5555 just called its my vets office time to bring Rover in for his shots.

Candice Cuttery is a scammer shill and this is a scam. Legit collectors, per section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf , *must* send you paperwork stating :
1. amount and the name of the current creditor (which may differ from the original creditor who might have sold your debt),
2. that debt will be assumed to be valid unless you dispute in writing within 30 days,
3. that if you do dispute in writing, the collector must mail you written verification of the debt,
4. that if you ask the collector in writing within 30 days, the collector must send you the name and address of the original creditor if it's different from the current creditor.
If you don't get the paperwork (you do not have to ask for it, the FDCPA requires the collector to send it), treat the collector like you would any SCAMMER.
Scammers are using bought/hacked loan application data to extort payments for fictitious debts from victims and victims' families and friends.
The FBI warns about payday loan extortion scams here http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710
The BBB has issued several alerts on this scam, just google "bbb.org alert phony debt collector"
Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

well I'd like to know what "proof" they provided you because they could not provide me with any proof. You might want to read this website.

http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/debt_validation.shtml

What does a debt collector need to provide as debt validation?

They need to provide LEGAL proof, including:

?Proof that the collection company owns the debt/or has been assigned the debt. This is basic contract law. It is very difficult to get a judgment without a direct contract between collection agency and the original creditor.
?At a minimum, some account statements from the original creditor. If you really want to get sticky, you can pin them down on the amount of the debt by requiring complete payment history, starting with the original creditor. (How the heck did they calculate this debt? What fees/interest has tacked on to this debt and how he determined these fees?) This requirement was established by the case Fields v. Wilber Law Firm, Donald L. Wilber and Kenneth Wilber, USCA-02-C-0072, 7th Circuit Court, Sept 2004..
?Copy of the original signed loan agreement or credit card application. However, account statements from the original can fulfill these requirements.

Definitely a scam! Regrettably, I believed harrassing calls and voicemails (threats) they left me saying they would subpoena for a lawsuit and send a Deputy "Donovan Artur" to retain me to appear in court unless I paid the debt owed. I paid $1000 to them yesterday 3-15-2011, thinking I was paying off my past debt when in actuality it was a SCAM! Please, don't let this happen to you. I let my bank know as soon as possible, cancelled my card, and received half of my money back so far! I am waiting for the other half to come in. I filed a complaint @ ftc.gov and also filing a fraud police report. They are pending a legal investigation on this company who claims to be STEELE MORGAN ASSOCIATES LLC. Please do NOT call these scammers back!

Debt Collector
Debt collectors engaging in illegal collection tactics in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. the three "settled" accounts above are obvious plants to try and deflect from their illegal tactics, such as claiming to have attempted to serve lawsuit papers.

(Lying Schmuck, we home school - someone is almost ALWAYS there. So your claim you attempted to serve twice is a blatant lie. Besides, back before I cleaned up my stuff THROUGH CHAPTER 7 6 YEARS AGO, no one came to the door - you send registered mail.)

You get a call from this or 4813 or anything close - report them to the FTC.
