just received a call from 855-541-4868 from a Mr. Fisher stating the same thing, i wouldn't give any information regarding you personal information.  Sounds to me like they are just trying to get money and if you do owe a debt they should be able to send you the original documents because they receive it when they buy the loans.

I received a message on my cell phone from Thomas Anderson saying he got a fax in his office about a formal complaint against me. He said he was serving a court summons to me either at my place of employment or at my home. The phone number he used was: 855-541-4868. Obviously, he has changed his phone number. He also used my previous name which tells me he doesn't know I have been re-married for over 18 months now. I am planning on calling in am to find out what it is about but after reading all these comments, I am a little worried as to what is really going on. He states he has been trying to reach me and this is the first call I have ever had from him.

I have had a similar experience.  I received a call from a Greg Porter.  The number was restricted.  They were calling for my ex but said that they were unsuccessful in reaching him and that they would be serving him at his home or work.  He gave the number 1-855-602-7999 to call back and referenced a claim number.  When I called back a man who referred to himself as Mr. Thomas answered.  He was most definitely the same person who had left a message but denied that he was Greg Porter.  Very very strange.  I couldn't get any more information since I am not the person they were looking for but I am unsure whether or not this is legit.  I would be skeptical.

These people had the nerve to contact my wife and told her that they need to get in touch with me so they could serve me with a summons.  My wife having received a similar phone call a year ago took the information offered and told them she'd text me the information once she did a Google search on the company (Xerox mgmt group) name and phone number. The women had the nerve to giggle and say OK.

Hopefully they don't continue to contact her because she has know tolerance for this kinda crap and will file a compliant against them with the FTC like she did the last company that bothered her.

Debt collector.  Thomas Anderson - 888-261-2975 - changes his name when you call him.

Calls and represents himself as a process server and threatens to serve papers on a debt account.

I got have gotten two calls so far from some woman calling herself Fiona Bennett, wanting to serve me court papers, and they leave the same number, 888-261-2975, and a case number.  I have called that number during business hours, and they started asking for the last four digits of my SSN.  I refused to give it to him.  The guy who answered (can't remember his name) said, "can you confirm that the last four digits of your social are (some numbers that were NOT mine)", I told him he was wrong.  I hung up on him.  Now I've gotten the second call from "Fiona" saying she has given me ample time to resolve the matter and will now start trying to serve the court papers.  This can't be legal.  I don't even know what this is about, but I know that I am up to date on all my payments and I have never taken a payday loan or anything like that.

Debt Collector
Facts for Consumers PDF Format En Español Email
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.

Jarrett is correct. These sunny comments -- all dumped here the same day -- about a benevolent collector cannot be true. There is nothing to "straighten out" apart from the gall of these lawbreakers, because there is either no debt to collect, or the claim can be overwhelmed by the lawsuit any of you call recipients can file at low or no cost. Carefully document everything said and done in your encounters with such collectors and obtain a valid address.

One unconfirmed report on another forum links this Xerox bunch to Enhanced Recovery Corporation, a much better known collector of ill repute. Bad high voulume collectors like to alias themselves and/or ally with smaller firms to spread the risk of bad publicity.

The worst thing you could have done was hand over the keys to your funding source to a total stranger just because he says you owe something ... while DRIVING, no less, meaning you were far too distracted to consider what was happening. I'm frankly having a hard time feeling sympathy in this case.

Threats of litigation or police action from a debt collector are serious violations of federal law, the FDCPA. They also tend to indicate a collector with zero proof of claim, probably making the debt from thin air. Even without such threats, one's first response to a collection call should never be "How do I pay", but "Prove I owe", to best protect the rights which most collectors eventually abuse.

I have had the same problem. They continue to call me at work, even though I have asked that they not, and made threats to me about sending a police officer to issue me a summons at my place of employment, which is illegal to do.

I did call back and spoke to someone that was very helpful and straightened this out, until recently. When they tried to draft it off my bank account, it came back declined. Then they started making the threats again at my place of employment and discussed this with other employees in this office.

I have asked for correspondence or something in writing and I have not received anything.

This isn't a scam, but they do not use legal practices.
