I too recently had the same numbers calling me. But they left a new number before they file at the clerks office.  They are in Buffalo New York.  716-200-1764. They are a collection agency.

So if will be nice to call the Attorney General office in New York for action. The Department of Justice will also like to hear from all of us. Lets start a class action suit. We can find some real attorneys that will stop this and make them pay.

Got a call today from a Mr. Baley who claimed to be a Marshall and was at my place of employment to serve me an affidavit. Give me a break, you call from a restricted #. If you are legit you would make your information valid. The call back # I got was 888-5897-4002. What a bunch of idiots!!!!!

Same thing here, they call and leave that crap. Its getting annoying.

call came from supposedly a "legal" firm for someone who doesn't live at my home.  He wanted information, phone and address, on where he could locate such person.

IDIOT!!!!!!!

Look another A** on the line named Kevin! Seriously???? Kevin get a clue!

Another a** on the line! This economy is not in the best of shape! It may be out of this persons control! Judgeing without knowing the circumstances makes you an idiot!

You're an a**! Some people have had a hard time in this economy! Have you heard about this or do you live in a cave?

I took out a payday loan for a family member and got burned, so i ended up paying for the loan.  I got a call from Mcquire and Hummell and the gentleman Mr. Sanders, helped me with some type of arrangements and now the debt is paid in full.  So call them back they will work with you. And if you dont come off mean they wont come off mean.

Kevin, You must work for one of these companies. Does it make you feel better to get on a public forum and call names and make threats? You sound like you got beat up a lot when you were in school and probably still live at your mom's house.

These people are on here looking for answers about suspicious phone calls requesting a lot of personal and financial info. The NY State Attorney General's office have had many complaints on this group and urged me to never give them any information. And that they are looking into it.

I'm sure Kevin or Billpayer will lash out about my post but I know the law very well (kinda my job) and in all 50 states you have to be given the chance to answer to any collection or judgement proceeding in writing before any action can be taken. And NO you cannot be arrested for not paying your bills.

First of all, Billpayer, Get a life! It sounds like you might work for this very company we are talking about. McGuire & Hummel may be a real life collection agency but they ask for info over the phone that you should never give out. When you ask for them to send you something to prove who they are they refuse. In this age of identity theft you should never give your SSN, bank info and credit card info to a complete stranger on the phone.

As for billpayer's comments, Not everyone that gets a call from these people (YOU) owe money or don't pay there bills. Even if they don't you are not the God appointed debt police.

I have gotten several calls from this number and they have identified themselves as the NY State DA's office, The US DA's office as well as McGuier and Hummel. If they want people to cooperate they need to get their story straight, but their tactics intimidate people so they keep going.

Especially disregard any calls from a Dan Patrick whose real name is Daniel Chirayath....he tells debtors they are professional thieves and he owes EVERYONE money himself!  Imagine that......biggest scumbags in the world working for McGuire Hummel.....

GET A CLUE PEOPLE!! DEBT COLLECTIONS IS LEGIT. IF YOU OWE THE DEBT, DONT GO BLOGGING, AND IF YOU RECEIVED A CALL FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THEN IT WAS THE WRONG NUMBER. UNFORTUNATELY THIS COUNTRY IS THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE THAT TAKE LOANS AND DENY THAT THEY OWE THEM, OWN UP TO YOUR DEBTS. YOU TRASHBAGS

That tells you that they didnt register with the BBB, it doesn't mean they're a scam, the BBB is a scam. You pay them $1000 and they tell people owww great business they're legit. BS. Get a clue! Your son owed a debt and by the contract that he signed they are allowed to charge interest, its the way the world works lady. Good thing the mob didnt loan him the money!!

Get over it you p**sy it's tha way the world works if you don't like kill yourself and it will all stop!!!!!

You know what sucks is that jerks like you who don't pay your bills spend more time complaining about scum bad collectors than actually PAYING YOUR BILLS.  I hope they can arrest you it would make it easier

If you paid your bills they probably wouldnt bother you

I too received a threatening phone call and they also told me that they were collecting from a pay day loan of which I knew nothing about  and told me that if I didn't start paying it out they would issue a lien against my taxes. so They have started taking out moneies and were only supposed to take it out on ONE DAY A week and so Far since they started they have taken it out 3 times of which 2 were only authorized.

I have dealt with the same company, they cleared my debt and check problems and sent me verifications of that, worked out better working with them then the collections agency that held my account previously..Very good people actually, I owed the debt and i finally had the chance to pay it off.

Just got a call from same ##  said they were from McGuire and Hummel - looking for my brother - time sensitive and gave a case ##  -  I asked where they got my cell number - as nobody, and I mean nobody ever ever calls me on it except my brothers and husband -  really wierd

I got a message left on my phone today, from someone who said some documents were returned from my bank.  They said I needed to phone the office of Macquire and Hummel 1-888-597-4002.  
I look them up on the NET and saw all your messages.  I have been scamed before and don't plan to have it happen again. I will be checking on these people in New York and report them to the consummer protection agency in that state.  I advise you to do the same.  If the debt is real than they can send a copy of loan documents.  Good Luck to you

THE NUMBER WAS ACTUALLY 888-597-4002. LATELY I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED AND AM JUST LEERY ON THE PHONE CALLS I'VE GOTTEN SUPPOSEDLY FROM LAWYERS SAYING I AM IN TROUBLE AND OWE MONEY..... ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPEN TO THEM???

I have also gotten threatening calls about what will happen if I dont pay what  I owe. The number always comes up all zeros or some weird numbers. I have not recieved any paperwork or any emails trying to contact me so I find that a little strange. Now they are telling me that that there are documents being sent to my bank that warrant my immediate attention. It was a recorded message.

I got the same message yesterday stating that there were documents being forwarded to my bank that needed my immediate attention. Who the hell are these people. I have had problems in the past with money taken out of my account without my authorization also. There are so many scams out there and these people are getting away with it!!!!

My son got a call today from these people stating that he owed money in the amount of $600. for a loan he took out originally for $250. that they claim he never paid back.  They also told him they were going to press chages against him and that if he didn't pay he was going to Federal prison.  He got scared and said he would pay.  I told him to bargain with them and see if they would take less money.  They settled on $464.00.  $300 they were to take from his debit card, ( which he stupidly gave them his number cause they scared him to death) then the other $ 164. on Dec. 31.  I started to think about this and when I read the letter they sent him about the creditors they were listing on the letter I told my son to question them about this, they claimed they didn't know what he was requesting.  Now reading these statements from others, I have advised my son to close his bank account so that they cannot touch any monies deposited in his account. These people are nothing but COLLECTIONS AGENCY that scare people into paying.  I looked them up in Better Business Burea and they did not come up.  What does that tell you?

no it is a scam, as soon as you tell them your lawyer will contact them, they hang up. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they hung up also. Just advise them you will be reporting them and do it.

Stated had returned documents from my husband's bank that "warrants his immediate attention." We contacted our bank instead and no documentation has been forwarded to any outside agency for any reason.

I got the same call about some returned ACH fees and I have nothing of the sort. I paid the loans off and stopped payment on the ach. They say they are McGuire and Hummel but I can't find any info on them and the numbers they are calling from are not in the BBB or anything. I told them I was getting an attorney and I wanted them to send me the filing and they refused and got irrate with me. My next step is calling the Attorney General and finding out what I can do about this.
