Call about account balance due, without any identification other than his name, Mark Pezmare (?)
and that he was with HWY Associates, at 1-877-279-5517, extension 1088.

He only asked for Parvane Kinsley, without any other reference to any accounts or clients he
represented.

I hung up on him.

Our family received a call from this number (Diane) today.   I have already turned her name and number over to our attourney. I will let him call Diane and see what line of junk he gets.  

No one here is calling you.   YOu have to protect yourself.  Call blocker is your best bet.

Total scam.  You can't be arrested for ordinary civil debt.  We don't have debtors prisons in the US.   There is no case number, there is no case.  This is just an example of what these debt scammers are capable of.

Ignore 'em.  Report 'em

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Please be advised everyone that Lisa Graham and her so-called associates are in real legal trouble.  They are calling from 585-645-0061 and a 1-877 number.  The 585 number is a cell phone out of Monroe County, Webster NY.  The return number of 1-877 is not a real number.  The address and name of an attorney's office is bogus as well - it the address of a local UPS store.  The Monroe County sheriff's office is aware of this and they are working on pinning this lady and her friends down.  The NY State Attorney General's office has been contacted as well as the FBI.  This is a direct scam to obtain YOUR and mine personal identifiable information-aka identity theft.  This lady Lisa Graham may not be her real name.  She has called my family from different states and has even said she has spoken to even ones that are not  connected with our family any longer - "we know everything there is to know about you and we're out to get you."  Communicating threats and wire fraud here folks - not to mention the multiple threats and attempts of identity theft.  The court document numbers she gives out for our/your county courthouses are non-existent.  Call your local courthouse and verify this - She couldn't even pronounce our county's courthouse name correctly - she is very rude and pushy and all she/they care about is to get you all riled up over nothing -we have called our county courthouse to verify such a docket number -it's  non-existent.she even went as far to say "we know about your bank and how you do your business - she threatened my son's life - she threatened my stepchild,  she called my husband - we have recorded her phone calls and she will be dealt with severely - do not answer the phone or block it if you can 585-645-0061 AND her 1-877 number -

BRAVO WHAT AN ACADEMY AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE! the perils of deadbeats, lets see the government and big corporations do not pay their bills. No its scammer's like YOU that are the leches of society. Who likes to bully people who have fallen on hard times to feed them lines of b***s***. GET A REAL JOB LADY! You do not know s*** about anyone other than yourself. You wake just thinking who is the dumb a** who is going to believe your crap to collect. The courts do not give two s**** about this loans.

I have had this number call me, from several different places.

please keep in mind, i owe no one anything, or have any connection to NY state in any way. neither does my family. i hold a state investigators license and work as a surety/fugitive agent here. i have 5 years of this under my belt, and my mother who investigated for the feds, did so for nearly 30.

- these folks are from
Henderson, Weinstein, Wyatt and Associates Inc
Phone: (877) 279-5517
5140 Main St Ste 303-129, Williamsville, NY 14221
ARE NOT BOARD CERTIFIED OR LEGIT.


- they are out of New York, and I live in NC. they had no way to serve anything on anyone.
- I called Erie County Sheriffs Office, and they are investigating , as well as the Attny Gen Office.
- I have checked with NYSBA(state bar assoc.) and they are not listed.
- I had my agents up in NY go to the address listed, and its a UPS store. they are a scam and will soon shut down.
- They seemed to be looking for my mother, who is a federal investigator, and has in no way any connection to NY either. she and the rest of the family live down south, about 12-18 hours away.most never having left where they were born, they have called all of my immediate family members, dad, brother, mother, myself, sister in-law, ect.

you need to call the Attny Gen office at 716-853-8400 and ask for the consumer division. have them send you a complaint form, and mail it back to them with your issue. they are investigating them.

Scam!! Call my local police and PA office no records. Next time they call I will give them their numbers

I received a voice mail from Sherry Whitman from this number on my work phone while I was on vacation. The case #314201-1188 and it NOT mine. Please do not call me again.

You have no idea what a person's personal situation is or why they became delinquent with a loan so for you to respond in that manner leads EVERYONE who knows this company is not legit to believe you work for them. Just stop repsonding to people's posts, it only makes your company look worse. And btw- people that bottom feed old debts looking to collect money off people are a hell of a lot worse than people that fall behind on their bills, just saying. Get a real job.

To all of you that received calls from these people threatening you, Don't Worry they are a SCAM!!!!! They also call from 585-645-0061 and 585-645-0067 and some of their names are LINSAY CLARK, JOHN WASHINGTON, SHERRY WHITMAN, AND LISA GRAMHAM, who is the one that called me. These other people can tell you all they want that they settled debts with them and if they did, then they are crazy!  Lisa called threatening me about my husband supposedly having a debt thru a payday loan company, CASHNETUSA.COM! Well after I checked into the info she gave me, which right from the beginning didn't make sense as the bank she said, he never had an account thru and some of the other info didn't match up either. I called cashnetusa.com and they don't even deal with Henderson, Weinstein, Wyatt, & Associates. In fact, they said they don't even go legal if people don't pay them. They told me to report them to everyone I could and they sent me documents to fill out, so they could file a report about them using their company name. Lisa Gramham was a straight up B****!!!! The second time I spoke with her, she very so rude and ignorant to the point she was talking down about me, my husband, and my babies. She's lucky she was on the other side of the phone because you don't mess with my family. After I proved to her all the information was false, she still told me she was taking further action. The bank verified the info and the bank account # she gave me was never even an account and it didn't have enough numbers. I asked her to mail me documents and she refused. She was ignorant the whole time. After I reported them, I called her back and said never to call me again and she told me she would call everyday just to do it. I was so mad when I hung up. Don't fall for this scam!!!!

If they could not send you  written documentation of this claim you are by no means legally obligated to pay a date over the phone. But by no means are you obligate to provide any personal information especially not bank account, ssn, address phone numbers unless you choose to (but a a very high risk for further harrassment). I would reach out to an attorney, the FDCPA , FCC and the FBI!
