This sounds like thePayday Loan Scam. DO NOT give them any info. They will have your name, address, soc, employement history and anyone you may of listed as a reference on your loan application. DO NOT PAY THEM. Any legit debt collection agency woulde be more than ahppy to provide you with their name and address and would never threaten you with court. They would also, as by law, send you a verification of debt and would not wish you luck and hang up when asking for what you are due by law.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM

The same thing happened to me, but they already new my social.

This company is under investigation by the FBI out of Los Angeles.

I highly encourage anyone receiving calls from this company to record the conversation, give no information about yourself, your social security number, or bank accounts, then contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation, LA Field Office at the address and numbers provided above.

This company is a scam and is under investigation by the FBI.
You WILL NOT be served, nor is any legal case pending against you (at least with this LLC out of CA.)
They are trying to frighten you into paying an old debt that they do not own.
All the addresses that they give are not physical address, but addresses for things like the UPS store, or Western Union where they can recieve mail.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, OR BANK ACCOUNT INFO OR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS.

Again, they are using an ILLEGAL tactic in order to collect on a debt that may or may not be a valid debt.  NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN SERVED by this company calling itself American RPA.

look at all you losers.... pay back what you owe!!!!! you want to come to websites to complain about you taking money and not paying it back. what a bunch of dirt bags

Every Friday, at the end of the week, the boiler room loser who falls shortest of his quota has to spew on 800 notes. Guess we know who it is this week LOL

all you low lifes pay your debt. dont complain come to forums like this to complain. you guys are the ones who are at fault for trying to get away from not paying the money you stole.

received a call at my work place asking if I would be working the next day so I could be served. they pressed the person who answered the call to give them my schedule.  Sounds scary and a little creepy. Has anyone actually been served?

THIS IS JUST A THREAT TO HAVE YOU CALL THE COLLECTION AGENCY BY USING THIS STRATEGY!  I FEEL BETTER THAT EVERYONE ELSE FEELS THE SAME AT FIRST I WAS UPSET AND WORRIED NOW I FEEL BETTER.

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM THIS 1-888-490-1076 WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER SAYING I WAS TO CALL THIS NUMBER WITH REFER ID NUMBER SO THAT ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE FOR A COURT SERVER TO SERVE ME THE MINUTE I STARTED ASKING IF THIS WAS FROM THE DA OFFICE THEY SAID NO IT IS FROM A COMPANY, THEY HANGED UP.  SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT THIS?  HAS ANYONE EVER BEEN SERVED BY THESE PEOPLE.

My supervisor received a call from this number and they asked her if I wanted to be served at home or at work. She was baffled and told them that she would give me information to call them back.  They gave her the phone number, case number and to call within the next hour.  This was at 8:19 am and I don't get into the office until 8:30 am.  When I got in she gave me the information.  My first instinct was to go online and look the number up then I found a couple of websites with scammer information for the number.

I called them back and a lady picked up the phone and said something so fast I could not understand her.  I then proceeded to let her know that I was calling back and gave her the case number.  Then I heard kids in the background and she was "hushing" them.  I still went along and she told me she had to transfer me to my case administrator and put me on hold.  Then I sat on the phone for a while and it was not your typical on hold, it was weird, no noise what so ever.  Finally a guy picked up and asked for my case number.  After "pulling up my file" he wanted to verify my name (which I gave him) then my social security and birth date.  I explained that I would not give him that information so he told me that he would not be able to help me until he could verify that it was me.  We disagreed for a while and then he started giving me information.....not realizing that I had still not verified information.  He said he was looking at my credit report and I owed money on a defaulted credit card.  I explained to him that my bills are caught up and I do not owe anything.  So we disagreed for a minute on this issue and I just told him "serve me papers and stop wasting my time, you are not going to get any information from me".

ANYONE WHO SEEKS OUT INFO ABOUT THE COMPANY AND PEOPlE, post a number I will make contact.

ANYONE WHO SEEKS OUT INFO ABOUT THE COMPANY AND PEOPlE,
CALL 951-385-6031 .

Has anyone at all really been sued by this American RPA company out of California???

Did the constable ever serve you?  Curious since I had the same call from a Ricky Taylor at the Legal Dept at American RPA saying if I don't pay $1000 today I would be served a summons the next day.

A woman called and was very rude to my mother.  She said she better find me because I had a lawsuit pending.  My Mom got all nervous because of past issues. The woman gave her the 490-1076 number and a case number.  Then told my mom to make sure I called ASAP so she could then stop the sumons from going out. HA!  
I Called them when I got home and gave them a piece of my mind. I know a little bit and knew enough to know this wasn't onthe up and up.  I googled it and what do you know- lots of sites about this and other collection agencies bothering people.

They called a friend of mine saying she owed over $1800 for some bank overcharge.  If she didn't give her bank account information that day, a sheriff was going to serve her with a summons.  They also told her there was an option to make payments $300 for the first payment and $150 until it was paid in full but they would debit her account!  A settlement amount for $680 would be accepted but they would need her bank account information.  I called the company back for her and asked the man who answered the phone what company it was he couldn't give me a straight answer.  He asked for a case number and eventually told me they were "Global Answering Service" and they answer calls for a bunch of different companies.  What a scam.  They are just trying to get your money!!  Don't give them any information at all.  You can also go on the Attorney General's website and make a complaint and/or search for other complaints which have been filed in the past.

I received a voice mail from a blocked number.  The person who left the voice mail identified himself as "Mike" and said he was trying to reach me about a "complaint" his office had received about me.  He provided the phone number 888-490-1076 and a case number and suggested I call because action was pending regarding my complaint.  

I called and a female answered saying "corporate office."  I let her know I was calling in response to a voice mail I received and provide my case number.  She told me she was transferring me to their legal department and put me on hold.

Soon, a man came on the line and identified himself as Ronald Green.  I introduced myself and asked how I could help him.  Mr. Green told me I had a case with his office and asked me to turn to page three of the documents I had been provided so I could read it with him.  I told him that I had not received any documents and I had no idea what he was talking about.  Mr. Green responded "Wait, I'm confused. How did you get my number?"  I told him that someone named Mike left a voice mail for me and I was returning the call.  He then told me he was surprised because he thought I had been served already.

Mr. Green then asked me to provide the last four digits of my social security number.  I told him that I would not be providing any personal information since I had no information about who I was speaking to.  At this point Mr. Green told me he would not be able to provide me with any information unless he was able to confirm my identity.  I told him that I understood his view point, but that I would not provide any personal information to a stranger who has been cryptic.  I invited Mr. Green to send me a letter and assured him I would do my best to answer any questions in his letter via certified mail.

At this point he said something like, "Well, do you just want to go to court over this?"  I said, "You're threatening to take me to court? I don't even know what this is about."  He again asked me to provide the last four digits of my social security number.  I refused again and asked him about the documents I should have received.  I told him I would review the documents when I received them, and I would reply in writing as appropriate.  At this point said, "I guess we will just see you in court.  There isn't any point in you calling my office if you aren't going to give me any information."  He then asked that I not call him any more.  He ended the call by saying "Good luck" and hanging up.

I'm not sure why I was contacted in the first place, but it sure seems like the classic sketchy debt collector.   I can't imagine that any legitimate company would be so cryptic and threatening, so I'm working with the assumption that whoever I was speaking with was not legitimate.  

If I am wrong and end up getting served or receive some sort of documentation, I will write an update.

Nothing but a scam they cant give you any valid info. All they want is a credit card number they can even give you an address.

I just received a phone call from this people telling me that they were trying to process me from a Michael Jones.  When you call back to the complaint department, they have to transfer you through multiple people.  Michael Jones sounds drunk in his voice mail message, in that I do agree.  They refuse to send me any information regarding the account they are speaking of and are telling me I am being sued for $6000.00 on a supposed $2400.00 debt.  Who are these people really????   Anyone know????

My son doesn't live here and I wouldn't give you his number anyway.  Stop trying to scare me and telling me someone is complaining about him and taking him to court. Sometimes you or someone from your agency has called after 9 pm and that is illegal, so are the scare tactics. Stop calling from any of your numbers.

They contacted my place of employment left the phone number and stated there was a complaint against me. The name given was Michael Jones. I cntacted them and request a mailing address so I could formal request a "validation of the debt," which I have the right to do under the "Fair Debt Collection Act." After several additional calls to the same number I was told by a so call attorney, "not to call that number again or I would be reported to the police." I have tried to locate a mailing address or business and I haven't found one yet. The solution here is to continue to contact them, I checked with local and county law enforcement and they said if they were contacted they would take no action if no theats of pysical harm are made. It is as I found out against Federal Law to threaten an individual with a law suit concerning debt collections. Sure would like to find out who and where they are.

Did they serve it.

I received a voice mail from someone names Tony at this number today stating that I needed to contact them regarding a legal claim.  A case number was left as was the guidance to speak with their legal department.
When I called the number, I aksed what the name of their business was and was told it was the corporate office.  When I asked the name of the company that maintained the corporate office, I was told by Jesse that there are several businesses that use them as a calling center.  He asked if I had received a case number and I told him I had but wanted to know how they obtained my phone number since it was not the number of the person they had left the message for and my number is not listed and is on the "do not call" list.  He said that it was the number of the person who the claim is against.  I told him that the person they left the message for is a previous family member by marriage that does not live here, has never lived here and is someone that I am not financially or legally responsible for them.  He was kind enough to hang up on me. Not sure if this is a debt collection agency or a scam to take advantage of people.

Process Service Verification--gives name Susan Taylor--b***s***.  Just another scam.  Even case #, but can't reference what court in California.  I liked to spit in the face of these nerds.  Somebody find them.  Don't even talk to them folks!

these people called my sister and lied to her about something to try to get my info. When i called them it was a collection agency for a company that was bought out and they were trying to collect on a debt that was a charge off on my acount from back in 2008. he told me i was gonna be served and have to go to court. I asked him for a statement and he said its the 21st century and they go paperless. I asked them for an address and he said that they don't give out their address. I questioned this guy and he started to use threatening tone with me. I asked him how does he expect someone to know that  he is legal if they don't send a statement. he offered me three options and one was to pay over 1800 on a 610.04 debt, or pay 360 for 6 months, or go to court. I told him I wanted an address to send payments to and he just said, its obvious you have no intention to pay this bill so i am gonna hang up and good luck in court. what an a**

wow these people called my sister. She called me and told me it was a personal matter that involved my ex husband. I have not been with my ex husband in over 8 years. I called the number and it was about a credit card that i had a charge off on and that a credit collection agancy now how the account. He told me I was gonna be served and that I needed to pay 1820.40 on a balance of 610.04. I aksed him for an address and he refused to give me a physical address and told me it was the 21st century that we use paperless. I told him no you don't use paperless when threatening people with a law suit. he offered me a settlement of 1629.05 on a 610.04 debt.  I told him he is not getting anything until i get a statement from these people  and he said no and  good luck in court. What a butt head.   these people are morons.

I was also told a "constable" was on his way.  I laughed at the guy and told him we don't constables where I am, ha ha.

ha ha, what a joke this was!  I receive two voice mails at work from Process Service Verification  (Sarah Smith and Robert Jones) stating that there is a "constable" on their way out to serve me legal papers and I needed to call 888-490-1076. What, a "constable"? ha ha, we don't have those in the USA, where are these clowns calling from? I called the number back twice, the first time I talked to Robert Carmellia in which he stated that this was for a debt which included my ex husband and I (now I have been divorce for 12 years, ha).  When I told Robert that I wouldn't offer any info until they gave ME info I was told it was for a credit card company (which I never heard of) and the dollar amount.  I again laughed at the guy and told him he better do better then that and disconnected the call.  When I received a second call (which went to my supervisor) I called 888-490-1076 back and spoke to Ronald Green.  He asked if I preferred to be served at home or work, I told him he is not to contact me again.  He said they do not make outgoing calls and it was Process Service Verification that I needed to contact to stop the calls, but yet he wouldn't give me their number.  He kept pressing for more and more info, I told him I was going to disconnect the call and he said, "well good luck in court then."  baaaa haaaa haaaa.  Seriously, if you get a call from this number just laugh at them as if it was a legitmate call you would be provided answers to ALL of your questions.

So did you get summoned?  What exactly have you done?
