877-431-6840

Received a call stating she was a process server and I should call 877-431-6840 and provide case number to resolve or go to court. I would think if I am being acused of fraud charges and required to appear in court, I would have been given some sort of notice in the mail.......seems a tad bit fishy given I haven't commited any fraud...................Unless losing your house is a crime.

I got a long voicemail from a caller identifying themselves as a State Process Server, and that she would be in my area the following day to serve me a summons to appear in court "because apparently you've written some bad checks". They made it sound as though I were being indicted on fraud charges. I called the number back, of course I was worried, got the "legal department" for a company called CRS, who after I said "yes, I am *******", they relayed my home address, phone number & social security number to me (which is very worrisome, if they had left that message with the wrong phone number and someone else had called them back, they could have very easily gotten my information).
After doing so, the woman in the "legal department" stated that I had knowingly written a bad check by defaulting on my payday loan, said I was in violation of a certain code (though I didn't write down the number, I can't imagine that it's an actual civil law code, and if it is, it pertains to debt and not check fraud) and said, "You defrauded our company by writing that check. Was it or was it not your intention to defraud our company?" at which point I hung up.
This company is horrible and barely operating legally - you can't be prosecuted for defaulting on a payday loan, but they will try to scare you into paying. They have called all of my family members, harassed both of my parents and scared them into thinking I was going to jail for not paying this debt. It is illegal for a debt collection agency to harass someone in this manner, but they continue to do it and ignore me when I tell them to not call certain numbers anymore - which, legally, they are not allowed to do - it's printed on the back of the initial debt collection notice they send to you in the mail.
Don't let these people ruin your day - DO NOT RETURN THE CALL. If a process server is going to show up, they're not going to call you ahead of time to warn you and they certainly will not tell you they're going to try and "help you settle this matter out of court". They are just trying to scare you, and they're being absolutely evil about it.

Debt collectors or Collection Agencies – - do not fall under the Do not call registry.
These jerks will & do call on weekends even though it is against Federal Laws. When they call, I like to click on talk, then immediately on end. I know it has to bug them. On weekends I will answer with ,” You are in violation of Federal Laws, and I will sue you for $1,000.00 for each call! Yes, it is legal to sue for $1,000.00 each violation. Please keep reading the rest of my post.
However, Federal Law says you don't have an obligation to Collection Agencies or Debt Collectors; you can send them a written letter and they cannot contact you after that. They also have to contact you within 5 days after the first phone call, letter etc., and give you validation/proof or judgment of the debt. You are not required to ask for it.
This law is known as the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act. You can get it at FTC.gov; as well as other Consumer Protection Laws.
Most collection agencies, purchase your delinquent debt for pennies on the dollar. Guess what? It is no longer your debt!!! You don't have any agreement/contract with the debt collector or collection agency. Your only agreement/contract was with the original creditor.
In the Law of Novation: if a debt is purchased by another, for that to be a legal owed obligation, a new contract / agreement has to be written and signed by all parties. Google Law of Novation and read up!!!
No I am not an attorney, just a well knowledged, educated consumer. I have spent the past year studying various Federal Consumer Protection Laws. I wasn't just satisfied knowing I could send a letter to a Collection Agency/Debt Collector and they had to go away. I read that in the Fair Debt Collector practices Act law; I needed to know why, what law tells me the reason why I can.
Everything I have typed, I have learned basically on my own through reading, studying, printing out and binding the laws and underlining them. Not to mention the knowledge I have gained on my own fighting two lawsuits without an Attorney.
I was sued by a Collection Agency, and waiting for a Court date. The Collection Agency Attorney, sent us a letter willing to dismiss with prejudice our lawsuit, if I dismiss our Cross/Counter Claim for Fair Debt Collector Practices Act violations. Oh, I forgot to mention, we do not have an Attorney representing us; and I have not had any legal experience, in the past whatsoever.
I have read / printed & bound, my State's Rules of Civil Procedure and Rules of Civil Procedure - Evidence. I catch Attorneys on violations of State Rules of Civil Procedure all the time. And our Judge's let them get away with it.
And Mr Collector dated July 31, 2008, it appears that you have never had your life turned upside down, because a good job, not high paying by any means, but a supposed secure job, got your hours cut by 3/4. And then a couple years later, as you are just recovering, you lose that job. And when you are in your 50's, a new job is not so easy to come by. And when that happens, then what? Or what about a major illness, guess you've never had that either - too bad. Maybe if you did, you'd understand why and how people end up getting in financial straights. Not because they chose to, or decided they were going to find loopholes to get out of paying obligations etc.
What if the money isn't there to pay these debts to begin with? We've been barely able to pay a mortgage, let alone credit cards etc. It's easy to tell someone else what to do. I hope someday, something throws your secure little world off its axis, and you find yourself in the very situation as some of us here. Maybe then you'd learn it isn't such a cut/dry situation.
Oh, we've struggled. And the job last hasn't exactly been replaced. We're still behind in our Mortgage and trying to catch up, as with our other legal obligations. I can't work because of various health conditions, or I would, including a part time job at least. My husband started his own company with the tools of the trade, and now contracts for copier, computer, IT technical jobs as he has a computer science degree, and has years of experience in the others, especially the wide format copier / printers / computers.
People, please read the Fair Debt Collector Practices Act; if a Debt Collector violates any one harrassment or other law in there; Federal Laws says you can sue them for $1,000.00 per violation. Do it, and then THEY can pay off YOUR obligations!!!
And to the Collector's who follow the rules. Remember these people probably don't actually owe, the money your company is trying to collect.
If your company bought the debt, from the original creditor - they don't legally owe you/your employer!!!
Again I am not an Attorney - but have learned these by my own experiences. Their are Attorneys you could talk to, and I would, if any violations of the laws have occured in your circumstance. I am posting this strictly to help others maybe have a piece of mind, if they are up all night worrying about financial problems, and sick to their stomach in worry as I have been, and still are in some ways. I am again just a well informed, knowledgable consumer, who has spent hours studying the laws, because I had no where else to turn for help. If anything I have written, causes you questions, please seek the advice of an Attorney.
Certain situations such as Mortgages and Car Payment loans usually do not apply here; so you may need to seek the advice of a Lawyer for your individual situation.
