They just called me today. I researched them and found this info. I had a feeling it was a scam. Thank you so much!!!!  He said his name was Robert Vixon and he was a attorney.  First some lady called me asking if I would be free on a certain day so they can serve me my papers. So I started asking questions.  It didn't sound right to me at all.

This company has changed their phone number to 877-898-2898. They called me trying to collect a debt I paid in 2009. This is the sixth call I have received in eighteen months from "Collection Agencies" of various names, all with the same message, same threats, etc. I have contacted the police and they are currently investigating anyone who calls me regarding this "unpaid debt." If the company calling is legitimate, they have no cause for concern. If they are fraudulent, the authorities will be pursuing them. What they are doing, especially the threats to call employers, file court cases, have a person arrested or have authorities come to your house, is illegal and the police will help individuals being harassed in this manner. If you are having issues, contact your local police department, non-emergency line, and they will connect you with fraud investigators that can help you, and everyone else, by pursuing and prosecuting the individuals responsible for these scams.

They also mentioned they have 2 suits amd one with the DA??

Thank you for the research.  These people have not tried to contact me directly but have called my immediate family.  I have old debt from years ago totalling 4 or 5 hundred dollars.  I do not see how threatening my family to serve me papers is legal.  Why wouldnt they contact me directly?

Preston, Clark and Quinn Associates aka PCQ Associates,  is located at 27720 Jefferson Ave., Ste. 210, Murrieta, California, and is managed by James Robert Cork, who lives on Ravenwood Dr. in Murrieta, CA.  PCQ is connected to multiple other offices, including GCCS, LV and V Associates, PLS Associates and BG and M Associates.  BG and M Associates, which is run by Barbara O?Neill,  is only one office of a larger organization and it is directly connected to another collection agency in Temecula, which goes by the name of Smythe, Stone and Crum aka PLS Associates, which is run by a questionable character be the name of Ahmad Zubair Amozgar (he just got ?promoted to his own office a year ago).  LV and V is located in Corona, under the name of Bernie Gomez.

Further, the name of an attorney that these offices have been using, at least for letterhead purposes, have turned up at all offices.  I spoke with this attorney today and he confirmed that he ?represents? all three offices but claims he did not know the extent of the illegality involved.  While I do not believe this attorney?s claim of ignorance, out of courtesy I have agreed to withhold his name, at least until such time as my investigation is complete.  I will say that the contact person for his law offices, per the documents produced from the various aforesaid collection agencies, all list a John Alarcon as the contact person.  My research indicates that John Alarcon was involved in at least two lawsuits wherein he was sued, along with an attorney, for among other things, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, etc.  some of the allegations where that Mr. Alarcon falsely represented himself as an attorney, and was actually a signatory to attorney-client fee agreements.  Mr. Alarcon was served these lawsuits  in June of 2011 at 495 East Rincon Ave., #175, Corona, CA?..does this address sound familiar to anybody!!!  Alarcon?s co-defendant, attorney, Raymond Carl Prospero, was disbarred in 2012.  Now Alarcon is the contact person for aforesaid collection agencies.

Alarcon now runs a business called ?Community Law Center? in Corona, CA.  The lawsuits filed against him are in Riverside county, case no.?s RIC 1108501 and RIC 1107045.  He is also prominently mentioned in the disbarment paperwork of Raymond Prospero in 2012.

Two federal lawsuits have also be filed against Bernardo J. Gomez dba LV and V Associates for violations of the FDCPA.  Ahmad Amozgar also has two federal lawsuit filed against him for violations of the FDCPA, one for NLS Associates and one for Direct Resource Capital dba DRCC.

What is clear from all the foregoing is that this is a huge operation, well worth the FTC?s time.  Further, because of the efforts to de-centralize the offices, and to have each manager get their own ?crews?. along with other evidence we have obtained out of Corona, it is clear that the real owners have had experience with FTC investigative techniques and procedures.

thats the actual ad pcq associates used on craigslist. tricking desperate people into taking jobs that dont pay because they claim you are an "independent contractor" and it's commission only.

1st... they find victims, aka "independent contractors," to do the dirty work for them under the pretense that everything they are doing is legal or at the least that they're walking a fine line. obviously it's illegal.

2nd... they call people you know pretending to be process servers with court ordered summons. they're trying to scare you to cause you to call them back in a panic. once you call back they pretend to be the firm handling the case. they tell you they dont make outbound calls and that the call your employer, family, neighbor, friend, associate received was from a process server in your state/county trying to serve you or let you know they had a service of summons scheduled for some random immediate date and time.

3rd... once they have you hooked and falling for it, they will offer some form of immediate remedy.

4th... rinse and repeat

877-514-3491
877-898-2898
877-694-3466

Did you know that people have the right to an opinion?

Well shill, only two months to formulate this witty comeback.  Now you are equating a consumer defaulting on a note with murder?  So then did does that mean the banks who needed tax-payer bailout were guilty of genocide?  

You aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?

Try as you will, you're going to be torn apart here. You aren't responding to debtors or "losers".  You're trying to play in our yard. We can make a fool of you faster here than you did with that date you took to prom.
You're obviously a dejected employee working for a fraudulent debt collection shop. We don't feel sorry for you. You're a degenerate doing the only thing left to you. Failures do what they have to do. When that fails, they end up under headsets, making minimum wage, trying to scam money for better frauds than they are.
Judgements & Liens aren't things that are "placed". Judgements are granted by the courts. Liens are filed.  You see, you insignificant peon, you're back trying to argue with people who are far above your pay-grade. You're used to being made a fool of in your life. Don't come here and make us remind you of that. Waddle back to 5 yr. old Hyundai, drive to your rented hovel & "cry like a little girl".

The real "losers" are you the guy posting as "Broke Man". Notice the "BUSTED" stamp on that post? That indicates the administrators of this forum have identified it as fraudulent. Which is no big surprise.

Regardless of the business name, threatening arrest or lawsuits is illegal in all 50 states. Which, of course, is why this "business" won't identify itself.

You need to wake up and smell the coffee - no one has posted that they owe a debt.  Per the FDCPA, debt collectors have to PROVE IT - IN WRITING!  Can't or won't?  Too bad, so sad - for scammers like you!

Wow, you don't even know the name of the business and yet you reply to "brokeman". The real scammers are the people that don't own up to their obligations. Just like consumers are protected by the FDCPA & FTC, lenders should be protected as well. Financial institutions should automatically place a "Judgment" and a "Lien" against any consumer that defaults on any note, period. Some consumers get away with murder and cry like a little girl when they are asked to repay their debts. Wake up and smell the coffee,  losers!!!!!!

Time to debunk this scam, think about it. These con-man call your family members and give them just enough vague information about you*1 in hopes that your family member will be worried about you and contact you with the news. The scam is always going to be about debt, it's the one thing almost everyone has and the most likely thing the common person would be sued for if anything. So it gets you thinking who you owe money too and how could be out to sue you. Then they say they already visited a previous address of yours last week and now they somehow magically know where you currently live and they tell your family members that they are coming later that week to "serve you" papers for your imaginary court date. This is supposed to get you to call them with your reference number to prevent being served at all costs. Remember they were very vague on the phone with your family members, couldn't tell you what it was about due to HIPPA laws or what company they represent, how convenient. Then when you actually call to find out what the heck is going on they tell you some bogus company has somehow acquired your debt that's in collection and you need to pay it or be sued. Then comes the sweet offer, they say "Ok we know times are tough our partners/lawyers whatever have agreed to accept a one time payment for 70% less then the actual debt. If you can make this one time payment our client will drop the law suit and wipe the debt clean." Relieved at the great news and the fact that its tax season and people have just gotten large refunds, you agree. Mistake! That's the scam now you've just given them $ amount of money for nothing. These a holes prey on your paranoia and innocence, and the fact that they're very convincing. DO NOT BE FOOLED BE SMART DONT LET SOMEONE MAKE AN A@@ OUT OF YOU, YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT!!!

*1 Remember the personal information they give your family members about you can be found be just about anyone in public forums if they know how to look for it. Public tax records for example show names and addresses of people who have or haven't paid their property taxes! The point is in 2014 with technology the way it is personal information is everywhere, take caution be safe but most importantly BE SMART!!

PCQ & Associates are a bunch of lames and low life's trying to steal from hard working Americans

#getalife

getting calls from family and friends they keep calling about process server! this is harassment

That happened to me today. the threat

They called me today and threatened to come to my house on Thursday between 9an and 12 noon from debt from 2006. I'm disabled. Said that if I don't go to court then will have a bench warrant. I told he's a liar! It's a civil case. He said I owe $2595.79! My credit limit was only $300! I called the consumer federal trade commission on them

Keep calling from an unknown # & saying they have a proess server coming to the house & to call  877-514-3491 to make other arrangements or confirm address. IF they needed to serve papers, they should know the address. Soem kind of scam?

Well I will hand one thing to you Shill.    Atleast you didn't say you developed loan dementia and forgot about owing the debt.   At any rate,  you are still a stupid shill/scammer.

And once again we have the "Upper Case.....Board Troll"   trying to stir the pot and get some responses.
Ignore him folks and by all means,   don't feed the board Troll and he will go back under the bridge.

And their imaginations are also out to lunch permanently..

Fantasy writers are on strike in India this week.  Sorry!!

We have undue STRAIN  here to - trying not to fall off our chairs laughing at your fantasy story.

What is the business name??

Good then, I'll insist on speaking only to Zachary so I can pick up a fast couple grand in court for his verbal abuse.

... and we all know how accurate and comprehensive credit reports are, not that they have any bearing on debt liability. I see my obligation as helping others stay well clear of amateur extortionists like you. So sad that the ignorant bullying remarks you all keep chanting are so easy to dismantle.

I do believe the part about it being a real business. You know, stealing. As always folks - Ask for proof. Written proof by US Mail. Not fax, text, or email. Remember: A real debt collector cannot threaten you with harm. Cannot impersonate a lawyer, or police official. Cannot threaten you with arrest. They must identify themselves when they call. Should real debts be paid? Of course. Now you'll notice I said 'real' debts. Not the ones made up by foreign thuggee's trying to extort money from Americans on fake debt.

Krikey's, another put me to sleep lame story! You all need to hire better script writers!

Do all you Shills actually believe that everyone on this site is an idiot? Well, here's a tip for you. Most of the regulars here owe no debt. They've never so much as applied for a PDL. Or even thought about it for that matter. They pay their debts and are very learned in the state & federal regulations regarding the collection of debt. They are financially and intellectually far superior to you. They are better educated & have a need to help others. They despise fraudulent & bogus debt collectors and will go to great lengths to prevent the naïve & innocent from being defrauded by them.
When a Shill shows up here the poor fool is going to get humiliated. We know the debt collection industry far better than the minimum-wage cretin that shows up here & starts spouting BS. We know the illiterate clowns that bogus & junk/zombie debt collectors hire to man their boiler-rooms. We know why they're forced to do what they do. We know how low they are.
If a Shill comes here with some line of crap, we can quickly prove he's a lying scum-bag. We just inform the readers here of their need to familiarize themselves with the FDCPA. And then we simply tell the Shill to provide us with his firms valid physical address. They never do. We all know why. I could go on. What's the point? The regulars here can smell a Shill coming. Sometimes before they even post. Do you really want to try and play here?
