Yes I do, I have been looking into Century and Associates and found out that they are under a larger umbrela firm called Hamner Investments in Norco CA. Century and associates where just up the street at 2191 5th ave. A little "L" shaped masonary building. According to the land lord of that building they move out. As I have said in my other post on this forum. DO NOT BE SCARED of these jack wagons. Hamner Investments is not going to risk opening themselve up for a law suit. If they call you, be like a reporter, and get as much info as you can. Type of debt, when it originated, when did it go delequent, who was the original creditor, and accout number (thats important). Also ask them for the collectors physical mailing address. Not the PO Box, but the building address. If they dont give you that. There is a greater then likley chance they are a Zombi debt collector. Do not let them get under your skin, That is one of there main tactics. Don't let them dominate the call. You dominate the call. If they do not let you speak, but in and tell them your going to hang up, and do so.
What to do if they call. Use your cell phone or any other devices that can record the call. Let them know your are recording the call. save the recordeing. Agree to NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!!!  EVEN IF YOU OWE the DEBT. Say the following. " I deni owing this debt, and dispute it. Concider this debt in dispute. You will need to send me the proper validation and disclosure of the documents of proof in this matter. You have 5 days to comply".  This is what the law says they need to do. They will tell you that they already sent it. Dont beleive them at all. If they send the documentation, (which they most likley won't), take it to a atturney at law and see where you stand. Check your state "Statute of Limitations" aka "Time Bar" for this type of debt.
Tell them to Communicat in writing only! Certified Mail is best. And don't forget the Cease and Desist Letter.  One last thing. The burden of proof is with them, not you........Good Luck and if you need advice spend $30 to $50 and consult an attorney in your area.

I received a call from Amy at Century Group for the past two days. I called back and they stated that they had documents to serve me. They would never say what the documents were but only that pertained to an old debt. They said I owed $700 but  would take $500 with a credit card today and could not accept a bank cashiers check. Lol!! Who ever heard of a creditor that wouldn't accept a bank check.  They had the nerve to tell me to purchase prepaid credit card to pay them and they refused to mail me any documents. They need to shut this place down, they are nothing but frauds trying to scam people

Yep they are still at it except the no. they gave us is 855-724-4725 I called them yesterday and spoke with Casey who gave me the same line threatening and intimidation. This morning I received a call from a local no. and spoke with a lady also named Casey (coincidence?) who said she was an independent locator and wanted to serve papers. Of course I gave her wrong address and asked what time she would be here so I could have the sherrifs office meet her here of course no time was given. After hanging up I waited a few minutes and called her no. back instead of ringing it went straight to a recording stating the investigation dept. didn't accept messages. So I called the 855 no. back to ask for an address of course they asked why so I told them that the FTC told me to send them a letter telling them to not contact us again I was then informed that they didn't make calls from that office so she wouldn't give me the address. Oh well guess they will eventually get tired of me cussing them out.

No it's not.  Total scam.  Don't talk to them.  Don't give them any information. Don't send them any money.  If they call you tell them you know it's a scam and they are going to be reported to the proper authorities.   Report them.

No it is not legit. You must demand  them to send you a letter validating the debt by mail. You can not get arrested for owing a bill as it is a civil matter. Do not give this scammer the time of day.

i just received a cal from Century Claims Services saying that I have a lawsuit against me.  I told them I paid my past bill a year ago.They said that they already turn my paperwork to the sheriffs department.  I have to turn myself in to fix my situation.  When I questioned her, she put me on hold and had someone else tell me the same thing. I asked for his name "Arthur King" and phone number " 231-613-4326" if I needed to as reference.  When I called back asking for my information regarding this claim, he said that all my paperwork is at the sheriff's department, so go there give my social security number to turn myself in.  Then he added Good Luck.  Is this legit?

They are still operating and have called me numerous times from 866 and private numbers, threatening to sue me for fraud, breach of contract, failure to pay on an old account  that had already been paid.  After consulting with an attorney who specializes in Consumer Protection, they have violated numerous Consumer Protection laws and are liable for numerous financial restitution amounts, including $1,000 in statutory damages, and monetary damages for EACH auto-dialer call and any voicemail recorded to the home or cell voicemail, as we proceed further in the pressing of charges.  And for not making the statement that "they are a debt collector attempting to collect a debt and that any information given will be used solely for that purpose", they violate other laws and consumer rights.  And if you are on the National Do Not Call Registry, they are in deep trouble for continuing contact. We are recording the voicemails to make official record of the calls, taking pictures of our caller I.D. and forwarding them on to the FTC and Attorney General as well as using them in court.  The phone numbers they are using are 866-638-0941 and as well bot calls that will appear in your phone as local calls to scare you into believing they are "right around the corner of your home or business in order to "formally serve you".. please, as I am doing, sue, file a formal complaint and don't just ignore this..  Call Attorneys for Consumers at 888-595-9111 asap!

I got a call from these clowns and they too have threatened me and even tried to say was I trying to commit fraud against their client when a legit debt is mailed to you. These idiots are a riot first it was some chick named Casey Moore who called me and she had a southern accent and was real snide on the voicemail and she called from 866-638-0941 and and a guy answers during business hours. This is why you should never record your voice as the greeting on your voicemail because this is the way bill collectors and fraudulent skip tracers can verify your identity. Use the default setting on your voicemail and they won't have a chance in the world to keep calling a number to someone they can't verify their identity through voice recognition.

I have received the same type of phone call from this company!  They called family members and left a message telling them the number I had to call with case file within 24hours because they were about to take legal action against me.  The number was different, it was 855-342-2418, but the fax number is the same as another response on here.  Also, same name...Century & Associates.  They sent me an email with an agreement on it, and the website is a joke.  www.centuryassetgroup.com There is really no information on there that is useful.  No attorney's listed, nothing!  The email I received was pretty vague.  My husband had this happen to him before, as well.  The only email he got was a verification email and they told him they wouldn't give him the original debtor or any other documents until they sent him a receipt after payment.  He unfortunately paid it, but we emailed and called afterwards several times and could never get anyone to respond.  Also, we never received an email back or mail with a receipt showing proof of the debt being paid!  I have since become very cautious of this sort of thing.
They claimed they have sent me several letters in the mail...yet they had my correct address, and I have not received any letters in the mail from them!

Received a call from century group firm, stating they were calling to collect a debt on behalf of fingerhut. I know that i still owe fingerhut an outstanding bill from last year; but when the woman who i spoke with told me what the amount of the debt was, I couldn't believe it! Her name is Tracy Scott. She said that I owe over $800 in debt to fingerhut. Most of the debt was due to interest rates, according to her. The debt went from $173 to over $800. She said that they could waiver the interest if I set up a payment with them before December 18th. I could pay the 173 dollars with a debit card. I was initially told by someone from that agency, prior to speaking with Tracy, that they tried twice to deliver documents to me. I was told that I should call their number, which is 855-342-4812 to stop papers from being served to me the next day, by paying off my debt. I did call and spoke with this woman named Tracy. I lied and told her that I did not have a bank account or a debit card. She said they take prepaid cards. So I gave her an old prepaid card that doesn't have anymore money on it, as a post dated payment. She stated that I needed to call before the 18th if I could not make that payment on that date. She was very polite in her approach with me over the phone. Most times they are not so polite.

When I told this mark Diaz that I called the state attorney general because they called my company and violated FTCP they transferred me to Jordan kline -who pretended to be their Lawyer and assured me if I paid my bill they would contact the credit bureau and give me a high rating.  After i came on this site to see it was a scam I e mailed them back with cease and desist and threatened to call police.

Mark Thompson call my HR dept. at work and said they were serving me papers at work if I didn't call this no.
I called and they said they could stop serving of papers if I paid 694 dollars.  I asked who I owed money from - the credit card they called about I paid 7 years ago when I re-financed my house.  They asked for my credit card information- and sent me paperwork to sign.  After looking them up I realized it was a scam.  I notified my state attorney General.

The number they used with us is 866-940-2792 but they also used 580-262-7324 and 321-800-5894. I forgot to mention that they threatened him with an arrest warant was impending. And for someone claiming to be a lawyer and using the "F" word and was aggressive and hostile. Maybe that flies in the court room but NOT WITH ME!

My boyfriend is being plagued by these people saying that MidAmerica Bank is the institution they "represent." At first it was an asian guy using various "white" american names like Ryan Taylor, Mike Abbot, Clive Jackson. He was threatening & arrogant. It's gotten to the point where my boyfriend & this guy cuss each other out & hang up on each other. It was amusing to me at first but since it is very antogonistic and now they want to serve him with papers to go to court(they say) I don't knoiw what to think of this.

We both think it's a scam but this last phone call they were very polite. Are they cahnging their tactics?
