Got message of a server to be sent to my residence, caller gave phone number to call and speak a representive, did so, talked to Larry Barnes, who seemed to be very nice.  I had a very pleasant discussion with him, he says he is willing to work with on an account that has shown up in my name, and that I could call him back to let him know how we would disolve this matter.  I made the mistake of not looking up this phone number, but am doing so now, I have found that this is not only a call made to me, but to others also.   I am not going to respond to anymore of their calls.  People beware, they will not give out any info that will help you know who the creditor is or was.  This is a shame.

One of the oddest calls I've ever received.
Called for my ex-brother-in-law (divorced 15yrs) in reference to my property.
We live in different states and he has never lived in this state.
I told them nobody lives here by that name and remove me from their records.
We'll see if they did.
I was nice ... This time.

i got a message at home while at work saying i was going to be served by county processor and received a case number and was told to call this 877 number if i needed to change the day and time I was being served.
I called crime check and he thinks it is an attempt to defraud me.  The message said i was being served from a complaint that had been lodged.  My caller Id reads 951-268-1746  California.

Thank you for your post I suffer from anxiety and when I received these calls the lastest today from a Sherrly Thomas It really upset me. I spoke to someone around one month ago and told him to go ahead and serve me the judgement and I will deal with the matter in court. However, the last debt I had was in 2002 over ten years ago. So I pulled up old paperwork and spoke to the company I thought they may talking about jcpenny and they dont even have any records it has been archived is what I was told so how can these people have any information on me or an old debt which by the way was settled . I dont undetstand .....and they say they are from century and associates as well.. but what really scares me is that  I think they knew the last 4 digits of my SS number

This is a scam. They tell you that they are employed by Hamner Associates and that Century and Associates have 155 attorneys working for them. Century refuses to give their address. They refused to give info out for Hamner Associates. Document Deliveries called and said to call Century. Document Deliveries told me that they will be sending "Guys" to my house to serve me. Document Deliveries and Century both try to act like we will be served, so I told them that I don't answer the door to people I don't know but that I would be happy to meet them at the local PD. He didn't like that very much. I got a lot of threats. SHALLOW threats. I recorded the call of course. It is illegal to tell someone that you hvae been sued when you haven't. Larry Barnes is an idiot. He tried to act like Federal Law prohibits him from giving me info on the original debt owner. :) WRONG. Then he tells me that they don't own the debt, that Hamner does, But before that he told me someone else owned it. Lmao. I hope that people don't fall for this!!! They ARE debt collectors even if they tell you that they aren't and that they are investigators! BULL! Nice try. Investigators dont' do this. They are debt collectors and violate the laws by NOT reading you the whole "We are attempting to collect a debt" etc. They tried telling me they sent a letter 45 days ago and that I had a window of 30 days to dispute or get back to them. If they weren't debt collectors, then why would they supposedly send a letter with the 30 day dispute line??? LIES!!!

Clue 1. Process Servers do NOT call to verify you will be home
Clue 2. Real lawsuits that have been filed would be found in the system.
Clue 3. They have to file SUIT before they have a CASE Number.
Clue 4. They refuse to send anything in writing
Clue 5. They say that a spouse can NOT sign for the legal papers. (that's wrong!)

and the list goes on.

I went to our police station and filed a complaint on these people so maybe they can get the word out before they attack other people . They told me when they call again to tell them they are on file . Guess we shall see . My phones are not in my name and have not used these numbers on anything except for work for them to get ahold of me so how did they get them to be calling and harassing ? Who knows all I know is they are not getting anything from me . I dont even own the property I live on so good luck on that one . and the police told me they donot call before serving you papers . They just want to scare the crap outta people to send them money . Please let everyone know about these people before it attacks the elderly that dont know how to research .

Thank you, this was of much help...they did have my information, all of it, but in my state the statute of limitations have run out and I called the FTC yesterday and they also told me that it was more than likely a scam, they do actually buy your old debt information from companies and if they can scare you into collecting they will!  I was going through a divorce and in the hospital after just having my daughter at only 1 pound back in 2006, she was on life support for 3 months, yes, I owed them $323.00 and some odd cents but they are trying to say it has accumilated over $2000.00 worth of interest.  I spoke with a lawyer who says you can actually get $1000.00 in a lawsuit for harrassment for this, so if anyone gets a phone call from these people, let them know the FTC and BBB says that they are a scam!  And if they keep it up, sue their butts!  This scared me too death yesterday!  Geesh! Thanks for the replies!

If it's from 7 years ago, depending on your states statute of limitations the debt maybe uncollectable. If you think the call might be real ask them who the orignal creditor is/was and ask them to mail you the info. if they ask for your address make them tell you what it is. If it's real they will have all your info.

So, I just received a real nasty phone call from a man named Jay Bruce saying they were going to serve me papers to appear in court for a credit card I had 7 years ago, I only owed $300 on it back then and now it is over $2400.00, he said I needed to get a lawyer.  I am on disability with MS and I have a special needs child, so I get a big $700.00 per month and he told me tell it to the judge, that if I did not pay them today, I would be served with papers either tomorrow or Friday to appear in court.  My daughter just got out of the hospital with emergency surgery so yes, I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown...So, is this true?  Does anyone know for sure it is a total scam or do I have to worry about having to go to court?  Thanks for your comments in advance!

My husband received a call from this company (Century and Associates) at his former place of employment, the 877 number was given along with a reference number. He was told that there has been a complaint filed and he would be served, and that he needed to call the number given. The woman told him she would put a hold on the papers being served so he would have a chance to contact the account rep regarding this account. I called this company on my husbands behalf, and was put in touch with a man named Larry Barns. He informed me that my husband was going to be sued by a rental company, who we had an account with in 2002. Then said the company who bought them out claims we have an outstanding debt...in the amount of $1,700.00+. He told me we could set up payments or they would obtain a judgement. I informed him that we would not set up payments, and that I spoke with a rep from the current company almost 10 years ago regarding the account and the company rep told me they had had issues with the record keeping of the former company. And the issue was taken care of. The rep also told me at that time that they were having to contact all account (current and former) of the company they bought out. That call came 2 years after our account was closed.
This "Larry" was very nice when he thought I might fall for this, but red flags were going up from the get go! After the initial conversation with Larry, I told him to let me make my husband aware of what the suit was about and we would figure out where to go from there. Larry said he would put a 24 hour administrative hold on the papers pending my call back. When I called him back the following day, again, he was quite pleasant, but turned into a babbling idiot when I started questioning him and the claim, and disputing. His answers and statements were inconsistent, and he kept contradicting himself. When I informed him that we were not going to give them any money, and they can go ahead and serve, he got a little less friendly. He informed me that they would make 2 attempts to serve: one at our place of residency, the other at my husbands (former) place of employment. I offered to give my husbands current contact information several times to ensure he would be there to receive the papers, which he refused, claiming he had no way to get that info to the person serving. Then added that they don't give courtesy calls on suit papers being served. When I reminded him that his company contacted my husband first, with a call back and ref number, he could only answer with "Well, I don't know what happened there". The first conversation we had, Larry told me that my husband was the only one who could sign for the papers, but on the next day, after refusing the current contact info, I told him that I could guarantee someone would be at our residence to sign for the papers, if a third party could do so. He then told me they could, and asked for the name. I gave him my sisters name, and he said he would get that information to the person serving the papers. When I asked him how he could get that information, but not the contact info to the appropriate party, he had no answer other than "Well, I don't know, but we don't give courtesy calls."
I contacted the Better Business Bureau, who said this company is scamming people on old debts, and had somehow gotten some old paperwork and were trying to capitalize on it. They also operate under Hamner Investments. They try to scare people with a lawsuit, judgement and wage garnishment. I was told by the BBB to contact the Federal Trade Commission (1-877-382-4357 or www.ftc.gov), which I did, and they in turn took my complaint, and suggested that I call the State Attorney Generals office, which I did. Ultimately, the BBB and AG's office are in agreement that this is a scam. I strongly suggest reporting calls from this company (or it's alias) to your local BBB, the FTC and your State AG's offices! When I contacted "Larry" with the information I gathered and informed him that I am aware that this is a SCAM he became irate! We are now awaiting the papers to be served. Had I been thinking ahead, I would have recorded the first 2 conversations with "Larry". Luckily, the last one WAS recorded.

Calls coming from 877-221-0972 are from "Century & Associates" or "Hamner Investments". This is a scam to collect on debts that have been paid off in the past. Their tactics are illegal. Contact the FTC.
