I get some call from a company about some charges from 3 years ago? This guy leaves a message, then calls back less than 24hours later, saying because I did not call him back, he is going to sue me? What kind of company makes threats over a voicemail to someone who they dont even know owns this number anymore? Who is this Canada Company, and why do you think, its not a SCAM? Take up the charges with the Credit Card Company Dude. Not Me. Who Are You and Why is Canada Suing me from 3 years ago? it will cost more to pursue in the US than the Charges are worth as Stated? Also Said it was from a OnLine Casino? How can I be Sued for something that Illegal to do, or Illegal for anyone to Pay from Banks or CC Companies.  the US law was Passed making banks disallow charges from the US.

The numbers no longer work ... the Peacekeepers for the Reservation have had enough more than likely.  I am soooo glad I reported the information of my web searching and people were  calling and complaining!

I feel that CONGRATULATIONS are in order for those of us who did NOT comply with this PSYCHOPATH !

I recieved 2 emails titled " Letter on Intent ". It has been about 3-4 weeks ago. So, after reading the emails I called the 877-889-0623 so I could see what was happening. " John " told me it was credit card fraud, that charges made on my card were not paid by my bank and so I had to pay them or they would take me to court. The charge backs were $1300, but he said he would only charge $1000, because I had to pay the fees for the money being sent. The odd thing is , I did report fraudulent charges to my bank in October 2009. So TODAY I went to the bank got the money, but when I called the number it was a recording that said the number has not been assigned!!!! So I searched the internet and found all of these post. I have not sent him any money ( thank goodness ). But I don't know what to do. Can someone please give me some advice!!!!! Thanks......

Please Post any Contact with Him or His Service. This way if the Company continues these "Bully /Scare Tatics", We Have a Pattern to Show his Tatics of Bullying via Phone and E-Mail.

This man must be stopped before he continues his Threats.

so far. Both were Threats of incidents from 2007?
Why 3 years Later & Why did he say I have ignored ALL THEIR REQUESTS FOR PAYMENTS?
I have never heard from them before 062310.

All debt collectors must be licensed and bonded in YOUR STATE - you check this via your Secretary of State website.   No License - they cannot call, write, email or sue to collect a debt from you.  
Report them to ftc and your state attorney general.


In the US - debt collectors must provide DEBT VALIDATION,  proof that the debt is valid and owed as well as tell you how to dispute the debt when you do not owe it.
rule of thumb - when they start with ILLEGAL threats - its a good bet they have no proof and are just phishing and hoping to scare people into paying them without proof.

They must also PROVE - they have the legal right to collect the debt - Called Chain of Title.

From Federal Trade Commission Website ? FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
    they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans? Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members? Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

Got an email from this place (with 877-889-0623 as the callback number), so I haven't received a call yet.  At this point I see this as extortion.  They are stating things about an IP address being as concrete as DNA which in a sense IS true, but they are not taking into to consideration that 9 out of 10 people have wireless networks that ANYONE with a little bit of technological knowledge can access from hundreds of feet away from your home and if they have already dug through your trash and gotten your personal information can simply sit on the street outside your house and browse the Internet (which has happened to me).  They are NOT U.S. based and though I cannot say beyond the shadow of a doubt that they cannot do anything at all, I'm pretty sure that they have to establish an alliance or employ a U.S. based legal firm to continue pursuance of this to be in fact legal.  Again, thus far it seems like harassment, extortion, etc. (whatever you want to call it).  Until actual subpoenas are served or you are actually notified by your REAL bank, it just seems like a "let's see what the a'holes do next" kind of situation.

Was this Guy a Real Jerk on the Phone, Rude, and saying about suing you from a few years ago? How can we be sued from Canada? Please Reply.

This is really maddening ... does Canada have any legal authority here in the states?
