I also got a call from this # and they hung up on me several times after threatening me with litigation. The woman I spoke to at ACS (1-866-575-9485) Mary W. and she told me they would only take credit card payments. They also told me they were a green company and they couldn't send me any paper work. After more threats and Hang-ups, I spoke with "Agent Logan", at 1-888-231-0757, who stated I owed them $1000.00 for a Pay Day loan from check and go.  This is a fraud and since they gave me bogus info I did the same to them.

Also 877-567-5975

Another number they use is  866-575-9485

I got a call from James Thompson today.  His second attempt to reach me and settle this matter out of court.  There is a 30 day window and 14 days have already passed.  Said I needed to call the above number.  The recording stated ACS.
His previous attempt was on June 2 and that number was 877-231-5545, that number's recording was Allstate Check Recovery then, today it is ACS.
I have never known a process server to call you twice, they just show up at your door or your office with papers in hand, usually there is a record at the court house prior to the service of the papers too.

My mother received a call from a man stating that he was a process server and wanted my where abouts to serve me.  He then gave her the following number for me to call 866-576-4895 and a case number. I called the number and spoke with a Ted White.  He answered Ted White with ACR but the recorder states it is ACS.  He stated that I had an unpaid payday loan with Cash Advance Network in the amount of $350.00.  He stated I took the loan on July 12, 2007 and it went into claims on February 7, 2008.  He could not verify any information for me i.e. SSN, bank account, etc.  He stated because of interest and fees I owed $795.00 but they were willing to settle for the amount of $350.00.  I told him I had never taken any payday loan with Cash Advance Network and that any payday loans I took had been paid in full and I had the documents to prove it.  I ask for him to send me validation of the debt and he said they are a go green co.  I then asked for his mailing address and he stated again they were a go green co.  He gave me an email address customerservice@acs.info where I could send my paid in full letters too.  I know this much she someone is trying to server you they don't call your house to notify you, they just come out and serve the papers to whoever answers the door.  Also, any company that states they have gone green and can't send proof of the debt can take me to court because I am sure they are just scamming.  He also stated that they are litigators and not a debt collectors, however when you call the number it's recorder clearly states this is an attempt to collect a debt.

I dug a little deeper to see how far the rabbit hole goes.  It definately gets pretty deep.  Seems they have only been in business for a month or so, and there are other businesses held by the current owner, and I just so happen to have that info available!  Enjoy!

I had pretty much the same experience, a message stating that they were chasing down a legal matter and would file (which I didn't save, but should have) and a number to call back with a case number: 877-366-1121. When I called back, I very calmly talked to the girl that I got.  She tried to bully me, but I kept pointing out my rights under the law and stayed calm.  I told her to send me the verification docs and I would be happy to look at them and make a decision.  I even suggested that they send them certified so that there would be proof I got them.  She got kind of flustered and asked for my email, which I gave her.  She then put me on hold and a man took over the call.  he started shouting at me that I was not entitled to a letter and that they sent one 60 days ago.  I asked if it was sent certified and he said it doesn't matter, the law was coming for me.  I told him that if he felt that was the step he needed to take, that was fine, I would see him in court, and to go ahead and bring all of the verification docs to show the judge.

All of the information they gave me was seriously out of whack, they claimed that I took out an online payday loan in 2008 at a specific address.  Thing is, I went through quite a bit of trouble with payday loans in 2006 and haven't taken another since (or ever again).  The address they gave, I did live in in 2007, but had been out of there for almost a year at the 2008 date they gave.  I am a bit concerned because the whole thing might have been an attempt to determine what company I work at, but I also know that my company fights all garnishment requests that are not accompanied by court order.

This company is one of the new breed that attempts to scare people into compliance by threatening to do things to hurt or embarrass them.  Don't fall for it

Had the same experience today.  I received a phone call stating they were a process server, and refused to provide any information other than the call in number and "case #".  The number I received to call in was 877-276-6895.  The woman I talked to today was a real piece of work.  Stated she had no obligation to provide the standard proof of debt because she was a litigator and not a debt collector.  Stated she was willing to talk to the attorney handling this case to work out a settlement.  When I refused, she screamed at me telling me that she hoped they would take me to court and win.  I'm pretty sure that if you were to take me to court for a fraudulent charge, you'd have to show proof of debt there as well.  

No clue, all the information they had was beyond dated.  Stated this occurred in 2007 like some of the previous posters.  I did receive a call from my mother later in the morning stating she had received a call as well.

Same thing here.
Found they use
877-293-2490
877-293-2730
877-236-9877
877-231-5545
877-247-7670
877-239-2865
877-281-7758

Do not pay them, this is a scam!!!

My mother got a call today from someone saying they were going to serve me with papers for writing a bad check.  Gave a number to call of 877-281-7758.  I have NEVER written a bad check.  Crooks!

My mother just got a call from these people too, and it was for me.  I don't know how they got my mothers number.  They told her they were going to serve me papers.  This is for something that happended in 2007.  I don't know what they are talking about.  They told me it was for an online payday loan.  These people suck.

Same story here....In fact just this mornig I received a call from Joy Winters.  They also use the name Mr. Bennett with ACS Inc.   It definitely is a scam.  They suckered me, but I did a little research and figured out they were scammers and contacte the Federal Trade Commission and my states Attorney General.  I initially gave them my debit card numer and told them they could take $275, which they did, but I wised up and went to the CU and had a stop put on my Debit Card, changed the number and I actually was able to get my money back,  But not after a lot of sweat and worry.  Yesterday they tried to charge another $275, $250 then $225, then $200 all the way down to $50.  Visa called me and I reported it as fraudulent.  They definitely are scammers.   I have read other places that you just tell them you are recording the conversation and are handling this with the poloce and they go away.  Good luck and be carefeul.  Don't let them con you out of your hard earned money.

I just was advised from my brother and mom that Joy Winters called today and they wanted to get ahold of me about check fraud and I would be served a summons either at home or work. I tried to call the 877 281-7758 back they left, and pressed 1 to speak to rep, and got a voicemail. After reading these posts, its definitely a fraud!! Especially if they can call everyone else but the people they are looking for! We need to report them!!

Legit posters put things on 800NOTES so others can LEARN from them.

These are people who TOOK the initiative and FOUND the answers!    

all it takes is the willingness to LOOK and the PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to protect YOURSELF

they would not have settled for only $300.   they would have taken it from you and continued their efforts to collect.

THE PROBLEM - NO ONE BOTHERS to LOOK for information that can HELP YOU!

this is just another Debt collection scam that if you LOOK for Debt COLLECTIONS LAWS and FORUMS on the internet- these scams do not work.  IF YOU KNOW they ARE BREAKING the LAW - they cannot SCAM you.

They only work on those who refuse to do the research to protect yourselves from theses scams.

THE INTERNET IS A TOOL NOT A TOY - PLEASE USE TO LOCATE LEGITIMATE HELP - these complaint boards are FULL of trolls who will tell you any lie to keep the scam going.

Only YOU can prevent the scams by getting the KNOWLEDGE you need to KNOW they are scams.

I just got the same thing they called my ex husband  of which i have not been married to for 33 years and said the same thing to him  i also called hr back and ask if i needed to call the police and she aid she wasnt going to argue with me and hung up what is this any one know

They didn't call me, they called my family and left messages that they were going to serve me if I didn't call back. Go ahead and serve me. be my guest. I do not even right checks. I pay my bills online.

I am having the exacty same story/issue! Where else do we report this and how can we stop this?

I've received two calls in the last two days from a 'process server' who claims to be 'with the authorities' right down the street from my house.   When I got the first call two days ago, I called the 877-239-2865 number right away (have been out of work for a long time and do have many bills outstanding - and they told me there would be a charge of fraud - intent to write bad checks).  the guy I talked to told me he'd 'settle' my account balance for $300 (current balance was supposedly $960+ - but interestingly, thye couldn't tell me what the original/principle balance was on this account which was red flag #1).  Told him I'd have to ask family members if they'd loan me the money to make a payment - told them I do not have $300 and can't pay $30 right now

Called back to find out how to submit a payment to them but the guy I spoke to 'was in a meeting' - left a message & was told he'd call me back.  He did noit call back.    The next day I called the 877-239-2865# and was told that this guy no longer works there - andf the girl I spoke to (Nicole Lopez) was real  nasty - told me she would NOT settle this bill for $300 she said that $300 was not enough and that the $300 'offer' was only good for the day the guy made the offer to me (the day or two before).  I wanted to know why the guy never called me back - I had tried to reach him on the day that the offer 'was still good'...it was a very heated exhcange - she hung up on me.

I received a call from a Joy Winters. She said she was a process server working for her "client" and that she was going to serve papers for a bad check.  She would not tell me who her client was.  She gave me a number 877-239-2730 and a case number.  When I called the number I found it was Allstate Check Recovery and that I needed an extension number..........so I pressed #1 to speak to a live agent and no one answered the phone. I found out later in the afternoon that the same person  had called various family members and friends and left the messages with all of them stating I was going to be served and picked up by local authorities for writing bad checks...and they had conveniently left the 877 number and case number so it could all be cleared up.  So I waited and called after 5pm.  I spoke to a lady named Jane and referenced the company as ACR.  I asked did she know it was illegal to give another 3rd party all the info that her associate provided to my friends and family.  (ONLY name, poe, and possible phone number is only to be requested).  She asked was I a lawyer.  I asked her for "ACR" mailing address or corporate office and she said asked again was I a lawyer.  I told her no, and she said she could not give me that info and hung up.  They have a website www.allstatecheckrecovery.com but their website will not be up and running until June 6th.  

I have not written a check since 2006 and stated that to Joy Winters and she blew right by that and continued on with her monologue.  With the world as it is, I pay all bills online thru my bank.


Sounds like yet another bottom feeder has joined the ranks of fraudulent debt collectors.

I have noticed on this site...they use other numbers as well 877-231-5545, 877-247-7670.
