Someone named Sarah Walker left a message on my VM saying that she was from the "county process service division" about some case I don't know anything about, that is pending against someone I don't know called Collin Mcloud Jr, and in order to get more information about the "complaint" to call the "issuing agent" at 866-988-1001 (she gave a case #). She finished by saying that if there is no contact within 3 hours that they would have no choice but "to serve the order for the summons". I have no idea what in the world she was talking about!

Has anyone spoken to a Dave Dedrick recently?  Please respond asap.  Thank you,

As for all of your comments....these people are a**holes and this is the real scam they are pulling....

They call themselves a 'filing agent'.... they are not. They only fill out the paperwork IF they do file a lawsuit against you. They don't 'FILE' it!!!  They are only suppose to sue you if you have a STABLE/ long term job (in a wage garnishable state),  if you own property or have a semi- successful business.  These guys have your credit report.... showing any 'AVAILABLE' money you may have access to.  You may OWN nothing and have no job...but if these guys show you are an authorized user on your 'Aunt Frida's' mastercard, they will claim that you meet the requirements to file the lawsuit.  

The 'CLIENTS' that they speak of..... they act like they have thousands of cases from clients all over.  They only have THREE clients!!!! Pacific Management and Recovery (which is a 'purchaser of bad debt'). Now here is where the real shadyness comes in. When I worked there PMR told us that they mailed out what is called a 'demand letter' (which they are REQUIRED BY LAW to do).  I don't think that I talked to one person who recieved this demand letter!!!!! We all knew that PMR didn't really send the letter!!!!!

The two other clients are bail bondsmen, trying to collect on stuff that is forever old.  But they don't even sue the person who jumped bond.  They go after the person who 'posted the bail'....Indemnitor.  they don't care if it's a friend the bond jumper hasn't spoken to in years.  PrimeWest claims they are 'FILING' the suit against them for 90% of the bond.  That is where the whole bench warrant talk comes in.

Keep in mind these 'filing agents' are PUSHED into settling these case out of court!!!!! They will try to  make you pay the whole thing.  Don't do it!!!!!  They will settle it for a lesser amount no matter what they say!!!

As for the process servers.... I don't know who the hell they hire to do this s**t, but its not fkn rocket science!!!  Every time a got a call from someone... they would give me this long drawn out story of how the process server went to thier dead aunts, brother sisters cousins house who they haven't spoke to in 20years.  Really??!!!  What is this Pineapple Express???!!!

If anyone has spoken to Dave Dedrick recently (or ever) please get in contact with me asap.

Wow! This has gotten out of hand. These are scam artists. Call your state attorney generals office and report them. With the telephone numer. They are trying to get money out of people.  If you really want to find someone or serve them papers it is soooo easy...Legit collectors have a filed number with the state they operate in, have to provide it to you.

How about people in other states that get these calls on the east coast??? Are they getting sued in California?

Well, I am in Florida and they keep calling distant relatives of mine telling them there will be a warrant issued for my arrest within the next two hours due to a debt owed to Bank of America...

I'll never call this number. It's totally bogus. They have called my family at least half a dozen times in the past two months threatening to issue an arrest warrent unless I sent them something like $10,000...

SCAM

im very thankful to see everyone sharing their experience with me. i can see pure evil trying to reign the earth. we just have to pray more. im sorry if i offend you with the pray. in sum, i agree with you

Does anyone comply with these Con Artists??? Tell them you need their state business number to operate in that state for collections.. They will probably hang up.   They have to have a license for each state they operate in and give it to you if you ask for it.  And then tell them if they threaten you and do not do what they say they are going to do you can sue them for debt harrassment... You can find the laws on line. Under fair debt credit act...

I want all the people that have posted here for the harassment from this company , I too had the same thing happen to me, the lady I spoke with Valerie Thorpe if thats her real name, was very hostile and abusive to me, so I decided to contact a lawyer whom I met with recently, he called the number and they hung up on him the 1st time then when he called back and asked for Valerie's ext. she said that they were not a collection agency or a process serving company either gave some info and then was not up to giving much more. I am so glad I went ease some of the stress and concerns they were putting on me, he also said to call the F.B.I., my lawyer specializes in this type of harassment and is looking into these people he said not to talk to them or offer to or pay them any money, they are either a scam if they are not a scam then what they are doing is illegal and against the law.

Thank you much appreciated your help.. Yes these are con artists..Bless you and good luck in the future..

hello, I got  a call from them as well but from my ex mother in laws house which I have not lived there in over 8 years and these jerks were threating to have a warrant put out for my arrest if I did not show up there to sign for a letter that was being delivered.Who ever this was that was speaking with my ex mother in law scared the holy cramp out of her.But they didn't give her a name and they didn't even bother to tell her when the letter was being delivered.

JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS STILL DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO HARASS AND DO THERE JOB?? IN AN ILLEGAL MANNER.

I had a so called process server call me, she asked me to give her a time that I would be home in order to be served by a process server. I was then given a case # and a phone number to call. I ca lled the #spoke to the so called Valarie Thorpe. She tried to get me to give her postdated checks, told me that I would be sued and that her company will win and put leins on me. I had 24 hours to pay up or I will be served. I used the 24hours to contact an Attorney who told me that if she calls again tell her to kiss my a**.And if  they serve me with anything that he will represent me free of charge against this dispicable company. I am calling my States Attorney General. I live in the midwest so these bottom feeders cast their nets really wide.

My attorney is looking in these scum bags and if he decides to go after them he will represent me for free as well so everyone do the same they are going about there buisness in a illegal manner if they are a a legit company. my attorney also said to call the F.B.I. on them. When he called they were not forthcoming with the info he was requesting.

YOU HAVE IT RIGHT.   IF YOU DO NOT REPLY OR RESPOND TO THEIR CALLS. 800 ETC.. NUMBERS THEY DO NO HAVE A FOOT IN THE DANCE SORT OF SPEAK..THEY ARE JUST NASTY.. HORRIBLE PEOPLE.. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT PAY BIILS BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE FOR ONE REASON OR OTHER. AND THIS BUNCH PRAYS ON THEM..JUST IGNORE THEM..  MOST LIKELY THEY WILL TIRE OF GETTING NO WHERE..

THEY FEED ON YOUR FEAR.. THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL GET MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE.. AND THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.. THEY WANT MONEY..ILLEGIALLY..

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Way to treat them, they swore at my 90 year old Mother because she wouldnt give up any info on me...They also called her because my ex died and said he left me a hefty sum on money and they needed to get a hold of me. Said they were his attorney. What a crock.  He had less money than me..So they will try different kinds of avenues..

This company is West Prime. All they are is a collection agency. They are using scare tactics to get you to pay your debt.

Checked with the credit burea.  I have no debt... All clear... Everything there is current... Why harress my relatives, why not contact me direct???  I think a little scamming is also going on.  I hope someone sues them, their tacktics are horrible...

Apparently they figure they can panic you better through calling relatives first.  It supports the deception that the call is from a "process server", which implies there is a "lawsuit".

The threats are deceptive and illegal, and the "debt" is fake.  Your intuition is correct.  It's a scam, and you do not owe them anything.

Contact FTC, your state Attorney General, the California Attorney General, the Corona Police Department, and the Riverside office of the FBI.

Your reporting that they focus on your credit report to size you up is consistent with numerous other reports about the Corona Scam.

As for "purchasing bad debt", not so much.

Numerous complaints are reporting that on checking out alleged debts with original creditors, these "debts" have been found to be fake.

CAMCO taught us that a "debt collector" could use credit report information to con money out of even people who owed nothing.  FTC claimed 80% of the money they got was unowed, when they shut them down.

Looks like another one.

THIS NUMBER CALLED TODAY # FOR A FAMILY MEMBER THAT IS NO LONGER IN THIS STATE AND HAS NO CONTACT WITH US IN OVER 10 YEARS. HECK WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF HE IS STILL ALIVE. THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW THEY DO GET OLD INFO AND TRY TO USE IT. I WAS JUST SURFFING WEB TO SEE ABOUT THIS NUMBER THEY KEEP LEAVING.

Who does this number belong to?? I called it and asked them who this was...They said "West Management" and immediately asked for a case #.  I did not give them one and said the # came up on caller id.  They said that it was impossible as that number would only be known if you had a case #.  He wanted my name I would not give it, he again asked for the case# I said nothing and again asked what is was about, he again asked for a case #.  Then I said I was not going to give him any information and he started yelling "Why wont you give me a case # so that I can give you information to help yourself".  What the heck is that all about?  Is this a collection agency??  Also, when I hung up I immediately got a phone call from a number in Riverside California 951-286-4452...wonder if these are the same people trying to mask their real identity.  Anyone with info please help!

They called my mother and ex from 25 years, said they were the police and were serving a warrant their address. Family and friends know better. These are low life trying collect money off of you. Ignore their requests, someone week before tried to get me to send them my drivers lic,. etc. on a facebook account, I wonder if these people are trying to steal identities...I do not answer any 800-866 calls some of these are located out of country. 866 toll is Canada/ US I tracked down the number 866-988-1001 after they left it with people for me to call, so do not respond to it.  Remember their is no such think as arrest for debt. They are trying to stress you out, and trick you.....

told me sheriffs dept was coming for me, she said she was from legal dept. harrassing me

dude ther is such a thing once they serve you with summons to credit court an you dnt repond they issue warrents for your arrest. very true sat thru them in nh court an been thru it myself

got 2 phone calls asking to serve papers to someone with my last name but different first name. They said the person was using my address. I'm ignoring them.

Not true in the US if they summons and you do not appear, you default and they win.  The sherrif does not arrest people for out standing debt.  If these are really debt collectors or imposters trying to get money out of you.   Report on TV news they are trying to get people to pay debts they do not owe.

Yes it is harrassment, and it is against the law for them to threaten you with arrest and not do it.  They can be sued for this in court.  But try to find them.  Phone number is Canadian...
