The number left on the voice mail was 8776690522.

I've been receiving calls from 7134222762,  same automated message left with Arthur Abrams, director of claims processing dept. 1st call, investigator Jones, asked for her first name,  she said investigator.  She wanted the last 4 of my ssn, I asked for the name of the company.  She became very verbally aggressive.  Told me a warrant would be issued on Monday,  then hung up in my face.
Subsequent calls became progressively worse.  They either hung the phone up the moment they heard my voice,  played Jill Scott's live version of "He Loves Me", and lastly sent me to voice mail.

Received an automated; from an Arthur Abrams with Check Services telling me I "was in contempt and should leave a deposition or  call back to 877-669-0522.  The caller ID shows the number as 615-729-0018; which would be TN.  Case #3129191

I got the same message.  I just let it go to voicemail.

"The links above" which I provided are for everyone to learn the laws and how to use them. "The government" can't come running to solve every individual's problem with a nuisance caller. The FTC has at best three dozen people available who handle matters of consumer credit, and there are many millions of alleged debtors. If you want debt validation or calls to cease, you have to contact the collection agency *yourself*. You were given the tools in federal law to combat bad collectors *yourself* 35 years ago. Lobbing complaints and waiting for a hero is not how you defend your rights.

I TO RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL FROM THESE SCAMMERS AND YES THEY ARE REALLY RUDE.STATING THEY ARE ARTHUR  ABRAM CHECK SERVICES WITH A CASE #3158875.THIS CRAP HAD ME SO UPSET TELLING ME A WARRANT IS GOING TO BE ISSUED FOR MY ARREST.DONT BELIEVE OR INTERTAIN THESE PEOPLE.GOOOD LUCK!!!FYI (DO NOT TELL THEM OR CONFIRM ANYTHING)

I recently posted that I received a call from an Arthur Abram from Check Services stating that I was in contempt of a deposition??? They left me a call back # 877-669-0522. The 1st call cam from them on 02/07/14.  Today, 02/20/14 there was another call from them leaving the exact same message.  I called the number 4 times and every time someone picked up the phone & immediately put me on hold.  On the 5th time, a woman answered the phone "County Check Services". I asked her what kind of business is this and she asked if I was Kim. I asked her again what is County Check Services? She said that she was attaching the file # that they left on my answering machine to the last 4 digits of my social security # and the she was filing check fraud charges against me. She hung up.  I immediately call my states Attorney General office & the woman that I spoke to there said that she has heard this story quite often. She told me to NOT give them or confirm any information (which I didn't). She told me to go online to the Attorney Generals office website & fill out a complaint form. She also gave me the phone # to the Bureau of Consumer Protection and told me to call them so that they can file a complaint. She would have transferred me to them but they were closed for the day.  DO NOT GIVE OUT OR CONFIRM ANY INFORMATION TO THESE PEOPLE. CONTACT YOUR STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE AND FILE A COMPLAINT.  

The name on the caller ID came across as PDLR and the phone number they were calling from was  240-247-1564.

I just got a call to. saying I owed 952.00 from a bounced check.They asked for my last four of my ssn.I told them I wont give my number up.They said I had a warrant out for my arrest.The first number was 1-877-669-0522.he left a voice mail saying his name was Arthur Abram from check services.and a robotic voice saying my name.Funny thing is the number that called me was 724-623-0175.BOTH numbers went to the same person,which a woman answers the phone by saying investigations department.very rude and any question you ask her she tries to avoid.Beware people of these phonies. I told them straight out they were scams.Because I dont right checks.ps. I asked this woman her name and she said her name was investigator Thomas.I hope this information is helpful.

same message as above from Arthur.  I report to the links above and nothing ever happens.  Really wonder why the government cannot stop these people.

I just received a call from 330-286-1269 and it was a robot recording left a message on my cell voice mail stating. ' this is Arthur Abrams from County Check services, I am calling about case # 325494 you are in contempt and that you need to call back and give a deposition on your behalf. this is your only notice you may call back at 877-669-0522. I have recevied several calls from them at my home and at least once at work. This is the second time I received a call on my cell. I called them back when they called me one week ago today. They are very rude. If you ask a question, they won't answer it. I was told that it was from Ace Cash Express.

When I asked when this was done, she told me 5-11-11 and when I said that I didnt do anything during that time, she said that is fine Franklin County will take care of it and hung up on me. I called right back and was like let me talk and asked her again when the date was, and it changed from the 11th to the 21st of May. When I said again, I didn't do anything she hung up but not before saying don't call back again. Very rude. Scam. I called my attorney general and there has been numerous complaints against this company.  It is amazing how these people can go to bed at night.

Hmm, only five times it took for your whistle tooting to do what *one* cease-comm letter could have accomplished faster and also set a legal bear trap for future violations.

So long as you met the 30 day deadline for disputing in writing, you did well. However, asking for validation and ordering the agency to never contact you are mutually exclusive requests. Once you lock debt collectors under a cease-communication order, they *cannot* respond with validation, and the only legal way to continue collecting is in court. The smarter consumer designates *some* times and places as inconvenient for contact, for example banning all phone calls but allowing postal mail.

In this case, concerning another thug operation fond of making illegal threats, the so-called debt likely can't be proven, and as you've said the agency didn't bother getting simple facts straight. You might have them on a FDCPA violation regarding the "character or legal status" of a debt. It's unlikely they'd have the stones to file a real lawsuit but will be happy to play-act a fake one. But if you face another collector one day and you're not sure of your own liability, it's safer to send the dispute letter with *partial* contact restrictions until you know more.

You're correct about the mandate to provide validation and its proper source. For those still learning the rules, collectors are not obligated to respond or validate *unless they want to continue* collecting. They are under a kind of gag order until your demand is met. A very common and permitted reaction is to do nothing -- just walk away and work the accounts not being challenged.

FTC and CFPB material on US federal collection law:

http://www.consumerfinance.gov/askcfpb/search ... debt-collection

I, too, received a letter....same address, phone number, etc., but the amount I allegedly owed was $610, which they were kind enough to lower to $427 if I paid immediately.  I sent them a reply letter disputing the validity of the 'debt', as Advance America is not even licensed to do business in the state of Oregon, where I have lived continuously for the past 28 years.  Mine was also from a Shirley Adams with Check Services.  Now, if this is a legitimate debt collection agency, which it is not, then when you dispute a debt they MUST provide you with proof of the debt from the original debtor.  I don't think I will get a response from them, but if I do, I am quite curious to see just how stupid and gullible they think I am.  I also told them in the letter that they were not to contact me further, which, by law under the FCPA they are required to comply.  If they do respond or contact me again, then they are in contempt themselves and have proven themselves to be the scumbag scammers that they indeed are.

I received a letter from Check Services - 12850 Highway #9 Ste 600-165 - Alpharetta, GA  30004 .  The phone number is:  877-669-0522 stating I owed $980 but client will settle for $686.00    Client is Advance America.   It does have a Agency Client number.   I have never had a payday loan.  Letter was from a Shirley Adams with Check Services .  

I think what I will do is call them back and argue with them then blow a police whistle loudly in their ear.   I did that to one last year several times and after the 5th time the idiot never called back.  

You were called by scammers.  Debt is civil, not criminal, so no one is going to be arrested.  Please do report these scammers to the FTC, FCC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  More info here:

Hi. Sorry to hear about your story which is exactly how it happened for me.  How are you?  Have you done anything else about this.  Jan

Received an automated call from an Arthur Abrams from a 516 area code telling me I "was in contempt and should leave a deposition or  call back to 877-669-0522.  When I called that number, a young woman who was very, very curt and rude said that I owed PayDay Advance in the amount of $980 and needed to pay $650.00 today or she would issue a warrant for my arrest. Told me to pay it and I told her I couldn't. I asked her questions, she refused to answer them.  She claims she sent mail to my address, and that's all the info I needed. I never received a letter. She hung up on me.  I called  back, (strangely, got the same woman) and she was extremely rude, telling me that she didn't have time to answer my questions or help me understand what was going on and that "maybe Bronx County Court could answer the questions better, and she would be issuing request for warrant to them today." Then she abruptly hung up. What is going on here?

I got the exact same message from the exact same number on Jan. 16, 2014. I have many calls like this from different companies over the past few years. If I don't know the number, I always let it go to voicemail.

Same message was left from 877-669-0522 from Arthur Abrams /sandra adams from Chex or Check systems to call back at 877-669-0522 with a case number and I was in contempt. They have been calling for me, now they are calling for my  case#3125236. Really!!!!
I emailed Chexsystems and they stated that they do not call people to collect any type if debt.

Same message was left from 816-841-4281 from Arthur Abrams from Chex or Check systems to call back at 877-669-0522 with a case number and I was in contempt. They have been calling for me, now they are calling for my 73 year old mother. Really!!!!
I emailed Chexsystems and they stated that they do not call people to collect any type if debt.

I just had the exact same thing happen to me, same person "Arthur Abrams" and the 2 numbers are 877-669-0522, but called from a local number 919-330-1209.  the voice was a robot. gave me a case number 3133902.

I got a call from 309-282-0636  saying it was arthur abraham no compnay name, saying i was in contempt of the deposition, and gave a case# asking me to call back to the number listed above. blocking both numbers....

I returned their call and they said they will have me arrested today, which was 4 hours ago, I have called them every half an hour since we last spoke and asked them where is the officer who was suppose to come and arrest me: I guess they don't like to be harassed so they didn't answer after the fourth call, and I am still calling them every half an hour so they know what it is like to been harassed. :)

Says they are Chex Systems, says they will issue a warrant for your arrest, continues with need last 4 digits of social to confirm your account.... And that the warrant to be issued is for the right person, in the end, they are representing "Advance Payday Loans". Have to hand it to them, at least now l they are now using people that can actually speak English, although very unprofessional, sounds more like a beauty shop in the background with all the laughing, music and conversation..... 1 word,... FRAUD!!
