Just got this same call at my work. Just wondering did you get served some papers or was it just a scam trying to get you to pay?

A courier named Daniel Lopez from a company called Enterprise Litigation Support called me at my job and told me he was verifying my address at my job so he can serve me legal papers. I asked who is serving me and he gave me the number to CRS FIRM 18552569234 along with a case #. I told the guy to go ahead and come serve me im here 9-5 and i dont leave for lunch. After I hung up with him I called CRS FIRM where they transferred me to a Thomas Borrgis who proceded to tell me I was being sued by my old bank from 2008. He told me that since I havent been served he had a couple options for me so I told him its ok I will wait to be served so I can see for myself if it was real. He got angry....lol..im a google freak! Anybody calling from a blocked or toll free number im asking questions n im googling you. Chances are they have called others. I called back and asked for their address and Thomas Borrgis said you can wait for the legal papers it isnt our case anymore. They threatened to have my car payments intercepted among other things. So thats why i am letting people know about CrsFirm

Well, it seems that the Pakistani bolier room scam moved on-shore - specifically to Pompano Beach Florida!  New # is 754-222-5176 - I called them back just for fun - (will admit they are unsettling) - she - American - asked me if I was going to do the right thing... before the "move forward regarding my fraudulent check."  Told her sure.

What a bunch of dirtbags - only in the US can people trade in your most private information.  I'm about to file a complaint with the FL AG's office and with the BBB in Pompano Beach FL.

This f*** boy company called to state that I owe vip money. I talked to the rep(Supposed to be attorney) from the firm, and told him the the BBB will be contacted, and that they are not  regulated in my state, and that the consumer protectection agency was notified of their calls. I also told him to provide in writting that the debt he claimed that I owe to provide information on it, he could'nt, got very loud and irritated. I still listened and was calm(stating that they will come down hard on me) bunch of waistful scare tactics!!!!!  Please do better than that I replied to him, he became angry and hung up, I called back, there was silence on the phone, this person seemed stupid to be calling himself a attorney(My father is an attorney with the attorney general's office) so I know my rights and what this so called company could do and not do. Listen everybody, this company(firm) as thy state that they are, is full of s*** and does things to upset people that they know damn well that they can't do---like put people in jail---Next time they call ask them to provide proof of a debt was made by you and the client they represent, and to stop lying about putting people in jail, Do they know the difference between civil and criminal. The difference is that all payday loans are civil not criminal, these loans are made on line and not signed by you in your own handwritting, so please don't be alarmed as to what they claimed that they can do to a person, tell them to provide proof in writting, and if they can't , just ignore them and their (REPS) their so called attorneys. Also tell them that  the Fair Debt Collection Proctection Act they must  honor your request in order to get any monies from you, and that the Commission OF Fianancial Regulation was alerted to the harrassing you(MICHEAL STERN) who CRF suppose to be their heavy weight attorney, and that he will make you PAY!!----FULL OF S***< TELL HIM TO DO SO!!!!  -----AND WATCH THEM CATCH HELL FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well CRF is now calling from 877-884-6848 how many 800 numbers do they have and why cant they be stop for this type of fraud v.i.p cash wow..why havent vip cash called me themselves if I owe them money

Left me a message on my cell phone saying they file a claim San Bernardino county. I owe Them money. 492 civil cash . I said I'm going bankruptcy he said that doesn't cover since they gothrough the court only. what's do I do now.

This sounds like a transcript of a commercial. I have dealt with your firm before on FDCPA violations. Here is a wonderful tip you should train your agents on, The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Have you agents collecting on debts read the Act. You bottom feeders for debt collector  cannot get anything other than payday loans to collect on. In addition, inform you agents the "difference" between "Civil Law" and "Criminal Law". Two different entities and penalties.

Just an idea....

Got scammed by these guys, only they claimed to be the "CRF Firm" or CRF Aquisitions".  Have disputed the charge with VISA and will be getting my money back, but I though I'd share this with everyone.

Google Obrien Wexler and Associates, see the notes on 800notes.com about them, same story as here.  These are the same people doing the same thing under a different name.  Here is the guy who registered the domain name, his address, and his phone number

I got a call from this so called firm. Unfortunately I was taken. However I am in the process of recovering that. It was not until I got another phone call from another company threatening the same thing..to take me to court and charge me..that I decided to call my bank who informed me it was a scam. This is a fraud. I just don't want people to go through what I went through. It is very scary thinking these people have a lot of your personal information. However if it is a true debt, THEY MUST SUBMIT IT TO YOU IN WRITING! Don't be scared of these people. This same company is tied to 15 websites, two of them being collections. Funny thing is these people feel empowered by knowing all our information but guess what we can find out the same information about them.

I have been threatened 6 times by this CRF Firm, by a Mr. Rizzo, he promised to send out documents supporting VIP Cash' claim that I knowingly "wrote" bad checks to them for a debt they claim is now $860.00, for a $250.00 loan!!! Back in November of last yr, and they got more than that back already, even tried to debit my account for $2000 at one point, when asked why, I was told..."because we can!" Omfg!!! Who oversees these ppl??? Seriously they are like old school loan sharks,

The same company is calling from 877-884-6848. Trying to collect on VIP payday loans. Now mine was well over 3 years ago and cleared through a banktuptcy.  These people are a joke. When you tell them to stop harrasing you or you will have your atty sue them for contempt and harrasment they get angry and spew and then hang up on you.

All these people on here are total scums..and by total i mean everything about them is LOW LIFE MATERIAL.. eveyone has bills everyone has debts but when someone contacs you about them u get irate as is u not responsible for the "phone calls"....I understand that things happen but come on... the reason why our country is the way it is, IS BECAUSE WE HELP EVERONE THEN MAKE THE WORKING CLASS PAY FOR THEM AND THEIR MISTAKES...PEOPLE LIVE OUTSIDE THEIR MEANS AND GET UPSET WHEN SOMEONE TELLS U THAT. TOTAL SCUMBAGS////U GET LOANS AND NEVER PAY THEM BACK///COULD U BORROW MONEY FROM UR FAMILY OVER AND OVER WITHOUT PAYING BACK...N0.....AND YES THEY CAN SUE YOU FOR THE  CHECKS///ALL U CRAZY SCUMBAGS SHOULD CHECK UR BAD CHECK LAWS IN YOUR STATE.

These people called me at work in JUly and threaten the same thing; that I was being charged with fraud due to a loan with VIP cash.  The person who first called me yelled at me and threaten me and then when I ask him what it was about he wouldn't tell me.  He then proceeded to call a friend of mine that I used as a reference and told  her the same thing upsetting her.  They used a different number when called me it was 716-831-9675.  These people ought to be in jail.  They have no right to call and harass you let alone threaten you with fraudlant charges.

are you one of them why are you worried about it!!!!!!!!!you must b one of them S.M.H

They are harrassing me at work now.

The CRF Firm                              

We at The CRF Firm understand that the field of debt acquisition is expanding daily. Our company is dedicated to producing the best results for our client, as well as finding the proper solution for our customer.

We act upon our clients needs, and are prepared to do whatever it takes to get the result necessary to solve the financial situation. In unfortunate circumstances, The CRF Firm is empowered to process the portfolio through litigation.

P.s. Anyone being illegally harrassed by CRF should:

1) file w/NY Atty link above

2) contact original loaner (VIP in my case) - I let VIP know of CRF's illegal tactics -
including "Posing as attorney' s" which is fraud + an insult to real attorney's - & VIP
asked for written time frame of CRF's actions.  Let CRF's clients know who their hiring.

CRF LIES & harrasses references used on their clients original application - Im involving NY Atty General - class action suit in order too.  ILLEGAL Threats & scare tactics HA I'll have fun watching CRF criminals Go Down.  

ANY agency Thinking of hiring this bogus sweat shop as a "collection agency" could be liable too-

THIS IS THE INFO ON "PAUL ANTHONY" AKA JOHN PUGLISI (WHICH IS HIS REAL NAME) if you get a call from "paul anthony" his real name is john puglisi and he is currently serving weekends in prison for multiple felony convictions. he is NOT an attorney by any means (which he claims to be) but yet a REAL crack head (NO JOKE) who does not have 2 nickles to rub together.

Here is a link from TODD LABARAS old company where he was sued and failed to appear because he is a cowardly dirtbag.... sweet then he won't appear for mine either so i too will get a default judgement and yes i will enforce it!!!!!   Losers!! don't get suckered in this crf firm is a scam don't pay them!!!

Because it is a load of crap...first of all these payday loans have to be licensed in your state to even do internet loans in the first place and if they are not then they cannot collect on anything. Get with the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation in your town and give them the name of VIP cash and the loan agreement  between you two as well as the collector that is calling you...get as much information as possible w/o letting them know what you are doing (collectors) and forward this information to the OCFR (office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation). Be sure to keep your contact person's name on file.

This should help. We do these things not knowing what is allowed get ourselves in this debt and they were never supposed to lend in the first place.

Why would someone write on here their real name and everything????? Don't you know that these collectors look on here and have ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFO???? Not very smart of you

UPDATE, ACCIDENTALLY GAVE WRONG NUMBER FOR NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL....THE CORRECT NUMBER TO CALL TO REPORT VIOLATIONS IS 716-853-8404

anyone wishing to report violations of the FDCPA, threats, or attempted extortion should report this to the New York State Attorney Generals office by calling 716-865-8404  or filing a complaint by using the following form: http://www.ag.ny.gov/bureaus/consumer_frauds/ ... o_complaint.pdf

please keep any recordings available for law enforcement review.

I received a voicemail from a Thomas Le saber at CRF Firm regarding a legal notice that's being sent to Fedex which is my employer regarding a fraud investigation and he needs my side of the story. He wants me or my legal reprsentative to call before he files paperwork for a hearing next week.I believe this is a scare tactic. I want this to stop.

They are harassing me.I don't owe them NOTHING.

I KEEP GETTING THIS THREATENING CALL FROM THIS NUMBER INDICATING THAT THEY ARE AN OFFICER AND WANT TO SUE ME FOR A LOAN THAT I DID NOT TAKE OUT.  HOW DO I GET THESE FOLKS FROM STOP CALLING ME.  ITS VERY VERY ANNOYING

they called twice back to back and did not leave a MESSAGE.
