Here's a good general rule....

No summons...
No court date..

=  Send NO $$$$$$

Why would you ever send money to anyone without first going to court. In case you are unaware, there is NO debtors prison! Even if the court finds you guilty, you can make a payment arrangement that can take years to pay back... If you ever pay it back at all. The worse they can do is eventually try to garnish your wages.... If you have wages to garnish. A simple LLC set up in a "company name" can fix that. Then simply have your work checks made out to your LLC, not you. They are not after your LLC. Anyway, Don't lose any sleep over this crap! File the phone number in your contacts as "Idiot" or "Scams" or whatever, and give it a silent ring tone. This way when they call you won't even hear the ring.... And you no longer have to leave the volume off on your phone. Screw these idiots!! Never let a "phone call" ruin your life!!

These guys are scam artists. They will call from many different numbers. Make threats of serving you at work. Having you arrested. To get you to pay over the phone.

DO NOT give them any information.

I have gotten the same calls, they have been calling NON-STOP today.    Robert Ross is the name on my voice mail also stating they have a case number, filing charges etc.  He has also contacted my place of employment.  He also stating that my drivers license would be suspended as of Monday if I did not call back with payment.......really? ????    Since when does the DMV suspend a drivers license  for a debt not connected with your vehicle?   The number Mr Ross called from today was a 214 area code but I have also gotten calls from 855 and 888 numbers as well.

IMPORTANT: File an imposter complaint! They are pretending to be attorneys that are sending cops to your house. When they threaten you saying a warrant or any legal summons is being delivered, call your local Sherrif and if there is nothing listed in your name?.They are imposing and harassing you!   File the IMPORTANT complaint with FTC (The government!)

ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING HARRASSED?  These people mistreat people! They do not provide customer service, they instantly threaten and lie. In fact, they will not provide you with a name or address if you tell them they are being recorded. Record every conversation and before you start the conversation, let them know they are being recorded! This is very important. When you inform them they are being recorded you are following state laws. If they do not wish to be recorded or properly answer your questions or provide valid and legal documentation:

1.    First register your number on the National Do Not Call List: https://www.donotcall.gov/register/reg.aspx

2.    Then File a complaint if they have left you a voicemail recorded message (which usually includes the threatening message of imposing as an attorney): https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

3.    After 30 days, if they are still calling you, submit a complaint on Do Not Call List that they are breaking regulations: https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

4.    If they are calling your family, have your family do the same!

5.    Don?t forget to send them two letters stating that you do not wish for them to call you at your home or work. That you do not wish for them to contact you at all and that if they do, they are breaking the law because you have sent them a WRITTEN letter with signature stating you do not want to be contacted! Send one of them through regular mail and send the other through certified mail.  Keep you certified mail or any tracking number you have when you send out your letters!

HERE IS THEIR INFORMATION

POTTER, SCOTT & ASSOCIATES INC.        Status:      Active        Filing Date:      02/28/2013
Entity Type:      Domestic Business Corporation        File Number:      4367067        Company Age:      1 Years

Domestic State:  New York (NY)

Principal Address:

338 Harris Hill Road Suite 212
Williamsville, NY 14221


Completing these three steps will help them track reporting of this company and if enough people report, the government will investigate!

6.    IMPORTANT: File an imposter complaint! They are pretending to be attorneys that are sending cops to your house. When they threaten you saying a warrant or any legal summons is being delivered, call your local Sherrif and if there is nothing listed in your name?.They are imposing and harassing you!   File the IMPORTANT complaint with FTC (The government!)

his so called company calls me on a daily basis... (Phone Number: 855-230-2486). They have called my employer, my cell, and my home if not everyday, every other day.  I've contacted my local law enforcement office and they state that "This is a scam".  This company is trying to force me into paying for something that I haven't received by saying they are coming to my home or place of employment and arrest me in front of my co-workers.. They have called my employer and told them that I'm a horrible person, I have used my companies internet to fraudulently take out a loan using my companies information. Even going as far as to give a Fake IP address.(None of this is true) Thank goodness, my Administrator did not believe any of their lies.. My Administrator and I contact the county Law Enforcement office and filed a complaint. I not sure what that's going to.  The harassing phone calls stopped for a little while but they started back today. I have received 3 phone calls today stating the same as before,"They papers that they are coming out today to serve me with and just let everyone know what kind of person I really am!" This is just getting out of hand!  I want this to STOP!  How do I make this stop? Any information will be helpful..

This company is a scam!  The Owner JOEY BATTAGLIA is willing to do anything for money. Tina Swain is really SHAWNA PATTERSON.  Google these people if you want to sue someone personally!!  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY BACK A PAYDAY LOAN!  They are illegal in most states now and you will never go to jail over one!!  They will never serve you with paperwork that is a lie and one you can sue over.  This is what they do they buy the paper <-- YOUR DEBT.....then they call you leaving messages almost daily threats mostly of legal action or that they are a process server trying to serve you with documents that they can not open.... they tell you to call the company that hired them and give you the office number .... the would have called blocked...they refuse to give you the process servers office number because there is not one!  Then you call the office and they tell you what you have to pay to stay out of court...... there never was a court to begin with it is a scam.  Just a way to force you to payback the loan with fees and interest usually 2 or 3 times what you borrowed.  They do this because so many people pay out of fear or due to harassment at home or work.  You have rights do not let these people do this to you!  Call the Attorney General and file a complaint!  It is the only way to stop people like this!!!  Stick together and sue together is you can the Attorney Generals office will take you and your complaints seriously!!

I received a message from a RELATIVE that they received a call from Potter Scott & Associates re a case that has been filed
against me and left a case number. Obviously they located other people with my last name to call and called them twice.
Later I received a call on my cell and fax line. The number that was used to call in was (855) 230-2486. When I googled the number (855) 845-2944 came up showing posts about Potter & Associates.

Please direct any complaints of violations of the FDCPA to the New York State Attorney General's office by calling 716-853-8404.  save all recorded calls or messages.
It is illegal to threaten legal action is pending, misrepresent themselves to be a lawfirm, to say criminal charges could be filed, to not send out a verification of debt letter within 5 days of the initial communication,  or make any other false threats in the collection of a debt.

My sister received harassing calls stating that her son owed $1300 for a cash line of credit through Cash Net USA.  I got involved and called back.  Now Tina says the debt owed was for only $897 but would settle for $700 and that I could pay on Monday since Damien and Rose her supervisors were unavailable.  She provided me information with my nephews social security number.  After reading this website, we are not sending in the check.......Good luck to others who don't google the company.

Boy, they stick to the same scam dont they? My story is basically the same. I got the calls from a Mr. Walker and a Damien Rose. They started calling me several months ago, threatening, bullying etc etc. I told them to provide proof as they werent even getting my name right. Phone calls escalated to threats of civil suits, being served, yadayada. Never served, checked with my county for possible judgements, nothing there. Finally filed a complaint with my Attorney Generals office. Calls stopped.
