This should give you some idea why why these guys keep moving.

THis placed called myself and my father regarding a "serious legal matter" a Marie brown was the one who called. She wanted me to call an Alan something at a 562 number. There were threats of being sued, sending written information to my employer etc if I didn't call back by end of day today.
I have reported them to the FTC. Hopefully something will get done.

This is a scam. Trust me. If you dont believe me tell them to stop calling they are harassng you, they will keep calling (which is illegal). They cant cause you any legal trouble. You will never see any documentation and if you pay them you can wait forever for confirmation of payment, but you will never receive it. These people tried this s*** with me, it didnt work. Tell them Tim told you the truth.

They called and said it was about a serious legal matter and I need 2 call back 2 have it resolved before I be issued a capias. His name was Mr. Kirk. When I called I just got a voicemail.

they identified themselves and "Investigators Jacobs, Michaels and O'Brien".  They said I was going to be arrested because I committed fraud by deception.  They called my sister and told her that she was responsible to pay this debt and tried to extort $1500 from her.  Each day i would get several calls from them with threats about coming to my job or home and they also threatened my sister with the same (she was not a co-signer, just a reference).  I asked them for an address so I could contact them in writing and they gave me One Glennlake Parkway in Atlanta, GA  30328.  There is no such company at that address.  I filed a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General in Atlanta.  I asked this place to send me paperwork proving I owe this money (I know it's been paid) and they refuse.  They continue to make calls each week to me, my sister and to my friend.  Feel free to email me back at christinaericksen@yahoo.com

does anyone know if we can take legal actions against this company and is there any where to report this company too.

Now they call me from 1-773-788-6505 I'm fom IL, and I always get a recording saying mRs. O' Neil and telling to call back 807-203-2697. Something about civil division. Are they foreal?? Or what? I'm afraid to get sued! Is this a SCAM??

They did in fact call my sister-in-laws parents today, and they emailed me with what was said:

We received a weird phone message today.  A guy named Mr Cook called asking that if we knew (insert name here) to have her call him right away.  He said he was "desperately trying to get in touch with (name)" regarding a "really serious matter that is coming up extremely quickly" and he doesn't want to "see it come after her this way" and he is "trying to save her from this happening".

Case #: CSATS******
Mr Cook's direct number: 877-203-2697 x306

they also call from 626 209-2241

I just got a called and I am in TX.  The threatened with a civil suit.

They call my parents home in another state and leave messages stating "so urgent she call right away, we would hate to see this bad situation come down on (insert name here)"

I believe they have also called my sister-in-law's parents phishing for info!

The number on my caller ID came up 678-619-2382
Callback number they left was 877-203-2697 x306.

Name left was a Mr. Cook.

I have identity theft issues from 1999-2000 that I am still trying to resolve, and I believe this is a scumbag lawyer/collection attempt stemming from that.

a recorded message saying something about official business they are conducting.  Premier was the name they left.  Does anyone know who they are?

I to received a call form cs and associates they stated that i took out a payday loan which i did they told me the date that i applied  and the email address that i used to get the loan from one of the many on line sites i forgot about it because they where taking 60.00 every two weeks to pay the loan back from cashnet usa out of my account and my bank frooze my money due to garnishment so i did not repay all of my loan to cashnet did not know where it was because debt is bought and sold everyday  i was thankful to know i could finish paying asked for debit or credit info gave them pre paid card info not my credit info thought it was a scam but i do owe a loan and as long as they send me my paid in full letter i can retain that as my proof of payment and i can load my pre paid card with the dollar amount to be takin out monthly so they cant take any more than they should. I just want to say to each his own their are scams out their so be aware I took precautions by obtainin pre paid info to pay off my debt will be finished in August  of 2011 paying 150.00 amonth until i pay off the loan and they gave me credit for making some payments out of my account. reps name was susan winters. they did call my family and my job and i asked her why do they do that and why did they wait so long to try and find me she said because the account was in another collection agency and they only have  a certain time frame to contact you asked her if i could go to jail for this she said absolutely not but they can obtain a default judgement on your part because of the loan and do wage garnishment. i already have irs garnishments goin on dont need anymore just wanted to let you guys now my experience with this # 877-203-2697

Hi I got the same call said that I would get suphoena if I didn't call back. They still keep calling. Have u done investigation? I don't want to get sued but also I don't know if I should pay.

Hope the law suit is successful!
The calls from this number originally started with a lawyer calling and accusing my daughter of falsifying documents and he cited a case number to me. (He even accused me of standing next to her when she did it. That's when I knew he was a fraud.) My daughter talked to this lawyer (Charles Stein?) and he told her his firm had been hired to collect a debt. He offered her a couple of different payment options, and asked for her bank and credit card information.  She asked him the name of the company he represented and the amount she owed, but he told her he could not release that information to her. She asked him to mail her the information so she could verify it's authenticity, but he hung up on her. No documentation has ever been mailed to her.
BUT the calls have continued to come in daily since then--for the past 3 months. A woman took over shortly after my daughter talked to the "lawyer." This is the info she leaves EVERY DAY on my answering machine:
? name on caller ID - Credit Solution
? caller - Miss Roberts
? her number - 678-909-0601
? message: This call is for (my daughter) regarding a potential civil matter concerning the falsification of documents on case #111721. Please return the call to one of our available process servers at 877-203-2697 x308.
They have repeatedly called my daughter's phone, my phone (I'm her mom), my son's mother-in-law's phone, and a friend of mine's phone. (I don't understand how they connected all these people to my daughter or how they got the numbers.)
I called the 877 number and the automated phone greeting does not identify the name of the business that's been reached. When I spoke to the person at extension 308, I asked for the company name, but she refused to tell me and hung up on me.
They are frauds/scammers phishing for bank account and credit card info.

total scam.  they say they operate out of marietta, ga. not true.  they operate out of a number located in jonesboro, ga.  they operate under the names charles stein & associates, cs and associates, and credit solution.  they solicit payments by check or credit card.  once paid others have reported they will double and triple dip your accout.  if you suggest hand delivery for a payment, they direct you to an address in cheekcowaga, ny.  charles stein, if he is a collection attorney, is not licensed by the ga bar.  other names we ahve heard about include steve chase, joanne ?, and susan winters.  any information you may have will be helpful.  our law firm is gathering information for a potential law suit against this company, whatever it may be.

wow i just recieved a call from a sarah jacobs and said i committed check fruad, i said  what are you talking about, she said i took a pay day loan t from ssm  then closed my account. i have ni idea what  this lady is talking about,  she would not send me anything in the mail. i told her to send me proof and i wanted her to send me something in the mail with an address, then whe said shed send it in my email. she never did. and she also said they were going to serve papers on me if i couldnt pay this. slao she asked me to go to bank america and open up an accoutant and gave me the numbers to put this account in, i dont think so.  i am looking into this and going to see what the better bussiness breau has to sAY. sounds like a scam. so glad to  hear other people had the same call . should i be worried about being served by the sheriifs

same thing- they called sister in law #1 i called paid was convinced legit, but never got no paid letter now they calling sister in law #2 saying my husband committed fraud and crazy s*** i am not giving them any info

I used their email domain to find a website and thats where i found the address.
http://www.csatsllc.com
The email they sent did not have a mailing address, it just states they are in Atlanta, GA, which i dont think is true.  This must by a new collection trick, they dont want to provide you a mailing address or fax number, this is so you cant send them a cease and desist or debt valadation letter.  All they provide is a phone number and they want you to pay them over the phone.

I sure hope you didn't give them your bank account number - if you did you just got scammed. Call your bank, cancel the account and open a new account - with a new account number.

I have been getting missed calls from this number for some time now.  I ignored them until i found out that they started calling my sisters cell phone number and leaving voice mails stating that they are trying to make contact with me regarding a possible civil matter.  I called them back today and they stated they were calling on a past debt due to ACE Cash Advance, from back in 2008, spoke to 2 different people and they wouldnt give me any information on who they were, they just said CS & Associates, they asked for my email address and said that they would send me an email with more information.  Most bill collectors are pretty rude, but these people were actually pretty nice.  They said i needed to pay this debt by today, $425.00 or i would be served to pay $1259.62, which includes all legal fees.  I told the lady i dont recall this debt and asked for CS & Associates mailing address and she wouldnt give it to me, she said i needed to wait for the email from them which would have it.  As soon as i get it i will send them a Cease & Desist to stop the phone calls and also send them a debt validation letter.

they have called my cell # number dozens of times during the day.  when i answer they hang up.  i finally got someone to talk, a sarah jacobs, and asked them what their mailing address was, she said they couldn't give that information out.  i laughed at her and asked why not if you have nothing to hide?  she got very angry with me and hung up on me.  then they crossed the line.  THEY CALLED MY WORK PLACE !!!  How did they get that number?  If ANYBODY knows who this is please tell me on here.  I would love to have them investigated.

My parents received a call regarding me stating that they were a party of interest and provided the last four of my social security number on the message. So my Dad called and provided the message to me after calling the company. The company informed my Dad that it was regarding wire fraud in large sums and that there was going to be a summons issued in my name to an address in Arizonia in the next 24 to 72 hours if I did not contact them. So of course I called them as they requested and the person that spoke to my father said her name was Laura Whittaker and that I could talk to her directly at 678-909-0611 ext 306 but the number my dad called them on was 877-203-2697 ext 306 and was provided the case#. So I called the long distance number provided and entered that extension and asked for Laura Whittaker by name and was placed on hold. To my suprise she identified herself by the same name and then went on to verify who I was by my name and the last four of my social security number not the whole number (odd to me). SO then she stated that her client is stating that I commited wire transfer fraud and they are requesting me to pay $2,270.00 and they are prepared to enter a summons in the next 24 hours to the address they have on file but was not verified with me or provided to me. (strange again) Next she said that she can tell that I would never do anything like that and that it was probably a pay day loan gone bad that was done of the internet with her client who's name was still unknown at this point. But she stated she could drop the charges down to $595. When I asked her who the client was she stated BMG and then I said that only payday loan that it may have been was one that I requested for $100 with what I thought was a ligitament company but they never deposited the funds into my account. She never provided any more information after that but did say that if I could settle it today she could drop it down to own payment of $270 but it had to be paid today. I then told her cant do it today as I am not currently working. She said ok I can hold it off until May 1st if we set it up as a direct debit for that date and I said that was fine. She then asked if it was ok to take it out on the 30th of April vs the 1st of May and I told her no.  So she asked me to hold on put me on hold then after a brief pause came back on the line stating that her supervisor would take the payment information and that it would be recorded. So her supervisor (?) came on the line and took the payment information and repeated information about recording etc. So bascially they state that I will receive a paid letter after it has cleared my account at the address they have on file and that the payment is scheduled to come out on May 1st. So the more I got thinking about it the more I thought I better investigate. So i am doing so now. Don't believe these people until you look into it there is a lot of fraud out there these days. Also when you call either number no company information is provided. How strange is that!!!

Lady called several times said it was about a relative of ours, left a case number. 111521/0. As with previous posts, said it was about falsifying records. The lady (Ms Roberts) did not leave an extension number. Clue number 1. When you call back they ask for an extension number. I tried many extension numbers but always got the message machine. Twice I asked them to stop calling. It stopped for a week then resumed. The calls have always happened during the day. I think if they get a real person they hang up.

They called me but left no messages. I just called them back and they asked me if I have outstanding loans or delinquent loans from ACE cash advance. They're not mine!

I not only got a call but both my daughters got a call. How did they associate my kids with me? She gave a case # and said it was regarding fraud. Everytime I call back, I get a recording and no return call.
All I can say is watch your personal accounts.

Law/dept collector Steven Chase. They like to sound very serious, but cant do anything to you.
