I know your post is old, but I LOVE it!  "...how are you going to deliever it to me when you didn't even know where I was and had to call a family member in a completely different state in order to get a message to me to call you."   -- OOPS! They must've forgot that 'little' detail!   ROFLMAO!

I know it's been a while since anyone posted but, in case they start using this number again, here's some info for you!

There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

IF they were calling about a legitimate debt, they would NOT be calling to see if you'll be home all day on certain day to "deliver legal documents" or "subpeona."  A legit collector CANNOT discuss your bill with anyone else OR threaten to arrest you and/or send you to debtor's prison, etc.

Make yourself aware of the rules in the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.--http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.shtm  
Here is more info on it from the FTC Consumer information -- http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
It's glaringly apparent that these folks enjoy breaking most of these rules.

Hope this helps someone!

[NOTE: As far as I?m personally concerned, the behavior of these companies IS a form of domestic terrorism, although the FBI may not.]

It also occurs to me that, particularly on the GreenDot/Prepaid card ?payments,? since they are apparently difficult to trace, I seriously doubt they are reporting these funds on their income taxes === tax evasion.  (That?s the way they finally got Al Capone!)  The IRS has forms for reporting suspected evasion, and even a reward form you can complete for if you help them catch the folks!
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/How-Do-You-Rep ... aud-Activity%3F   (I?m 99% sure it?s the Form 3949-A that you?ll want to complete if you?ve been swindled by these folks.)    It looks like Form 211 is to claim a reward!

   I personally don?t care WHICH branch of the government goes after these people, as long as THEY get REAL FEDERAL ARREST WARRANTS out on them!!  So, if you?ve been taken in by these folks, besides filing with the above, don?t forget the IRS!  (You KNOW they like going after money!!!)

It may not help, but it certainly wouldn?t hurt to fill the mailboxes at the White House with letters about these folks.  If the President wants to get involved with courts and everyday peoples? lives, then he needs to get involved in THIS!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact  -- to the right side of the page, there are links for leaving online comments, writing a letter, or calling the White House.



I'd suggest giving a list of time, date, phone number, and anyone's name you were given on these calls...EVEN if you didn't answer or it went to VM.

SUGGESTIONS (again, I am NOT an attorney and am NOT attempting to dispense legal advice.  These are my PERSONAL suggestions)
1-IF you decide to answer one of their MANY calls from about 50 different telephone numbers (no, I?m not exaggerating), give them NO INFORMATION.  In fact, YOU MAKE THEM ANSWER QUESTIONS, and if they don?t, hang up on them!   I don?t know anything about spoofing/masking numbers, but there have been comments that they are VOIP?ing the majority of the numbers they?re calling from.  I do not doubt this, as a person said the number showing on her phone was that of the local police department.
2-Keep a running log of the date, time, telephone number, person calling and note of conversation to file with your complaints.  (Or, try to record the call, BUT they usually hang up when they?re told they?re being recorded.  ROFLOL, now how many LEGITIMATE collection agencies would do that?  NONE that I?ve ever heard!
3-Look up your state?s Statute of Limitations on debts that can be pursued in court (that you can still be sued for).  It seems to vary from 3-15years.
4-DO NOT allow them to intimidate or frighten you.  These idiots have even called the numbers attorneys, police officers, etc. with this scam.  Intelligent, they are NOT.  

USUAL PLOYS:
1-call friends, neighbors, relatives, employers, and you trying to intimidate you into paying JUST to make the calls stop (but, from looking online, they don?t stop?they just demand more). ? Ask these folks to also keep a log of the calls, give them this internet page to check.  Ask them to do a search for ANY of these company names.  They?ll soon realize it that these people are nothing but SCAMMERS.
2-??have important legal documents (or summons) to deliver, will you be home ---(day) from 8:30 to 4:30 to accept it??
3-?There?s a warrant out for your arrest UNLESS you send us $xxx TODAY?  -- they seem to prefer asking for the ?Green Dot? prepaid card and want you to call back with the numbers on back ? harder to trace where to $ goes, apparently.

COMPANY NAMES:
Goodman and Stern LLC, aka GSA Recovery, aka GSA Management Orlando, FL  ? AND/OR ? EIESNBURG, WHITMAN & ASSOCIATES LLC, Rubin and Weizman, LLC.


TYPE OF CALL:
SCAM AND/OR EXTORTION BY A DISREPUTABLE LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY

Debt collection agency busted in Orlando
Federal investigation results in arrests, search warrants
Published On: Mar 11 2013 12:20:18 PM EDT   Updated On: Mar 01 2013 07:12:52 PM EST

I'm tired of these people aggravating me over a debt that's not mine, for a person who did/does live in a city I've never even been in, much less lived or used as a mailing address.  So, I started hunting and found out a few things about these folks, so far.
There are complaints about them all over the internet for harassing people that do not owe the debt, threatening to arrest people for a debt, telling people the only way they'll stop calling is to pay "court costs" on an alleged suit they filed, etc.  According to some of the MANY complaint pages and numbers they've called using, it seems they call about debts that are 5-10 years old, don't care if they were paid or not because they want money.  There are people who have fallen for this, and stated that they paid, and are STILL waiting on getting the documentation of the debt from them.  Of course, their story is that they sent it out ... yeah, right.
What's laughable is one page on their website that says they follow the law during collection attempts.  OBVIOUSLY, NOT!  THEY have an F rating with the FL BBB (see below).

By the way, it would seem to me that, IF you had a bad debt, it would show on your credit report (if still eligible to be reported).  IF you do have a bad debt on your credit report, you might want to consult an attorney and/or the original creditor, rather than these folks who obviously could care less about the law.  [I am NOT an attorney, nor do I profess to be one.  I am NOT dispensing ?legal advice,? simply giving my opinion!]

My personal advice:
1. Do NOT confirm/deny ANY information for these people...THEY need to answer YOUR questions to YOUR satisfaction.
2. Keep a running list of the date, time, number called from, and name of whomever you spoke with, and notes of the conversation
3. File complaint with the above agencies, plus any others you can think of
4. File follow-ups complaints as you gather more information

Do NOT depend on "the other guy" to file complaints.  EVERYONE needs to file one with the details lsited in item2 above, so these agencies can "connect the dots" and see for themselves that these numbers are all related to the same company.

Also, feel free to copy and paste this to pages for other numbers these people have called from or left as call-back numbers, so others will be fore-warned!

Almost literally ROFLMAO!!! LOVE IT!  Don't know about your offices, but attorneys I deal with LOVE idiots calling to tell them "legal details"...  Reminds me of a cat PLAYING with a mouse... that mouse is gonna be a snack!

It might depend on your specific state, but in mine it's 4 years.  A quick clue is: have you checked any of your credit reports lately? Is this alleged bad debt (or any bad debts) listed on it?  If not, they are DEFINITELY fishing for info to scam you.  If you do have a bad debt, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT ANY LEGITIMATE creditor would hire these people to collect their debts...as the creditor doesn't want to get sued for their agent/debt-collector using UNFAIR debt collection practices.  [NO, I'm NOT attorney, nor do I pose as one on tv! Lol]

I just received a call from (302) 394-9172 and the person stated she was Catherine from Civil Records and they had attempted to serve me papers but it was sent back as undeliverable- and would I be at home between 8:00 - 4:00 pm and at that time my antennans (spelling) because someone calls my moms home daily with the same thing- I don't know who/what they want, but this upsets my 80 year old mother and I keep explaining to her that this is some really sick and desperate individuals- Anyway, she gave me a case number and another number to call (888) 983-5404 - I wish there was someway to stop these people from doing these type of things. I know who I owe and try each month to pay them. They also call my job continuously with the same stuff.

someone keeps calling our home and saying that they will deliver important documents tomorrow. someone needs to be home. the documents are for our son, who lives in macon, ga. not florida. when i tell them that, they say they want me to write down their number and give it to our son, who said that when he called the number, he only got an answering machine, and nobody called  him back. i am tired of these calls.

First off I give a lot of detail, so please bear with me?
The other day while I was at work and on my personal cell phone I was contacted by a woman from a Delaware number 1-302-394-9172.  She asked me if I was who I am, she had my current address, SS # and everything.  From there I was told that tomorrow between the hours of 9am ? 4pm I was going to be served with legal papers to appear in court.  My first reaction is ?What is this for??  She told me that she was just a secretary and that she did not have access to open my case file but if I call this number (1-888-779-7118) and provide my case number given to me that I can get more details.  
I called the number and gave my case number and talked to a woman named Amanda Austin.  At this point she told me that I was going to be served a summons to appear in court and I was going to be charged with 2 class 2 felonies (1- writing a worthless check, and 2- Defrauding a financial Institution).  Allegedly I wrote a check for $450 to a place called Ace Cash Express in the state I used to live in.  I got on the defensive because she told me I had 3 optioins.
1- go to court and have to pay $986.19 and get charged with 2 felonies
2- pay a on time restitution payment of $615.19
3- pay 4 monthly payments of $225.00

I started asking a lot of questions as you normally would in this case.  She said she was with Stern and Associates and that she was in Miami, FL.  She told me that I had until 4 pm that day to call her back and let her know how I wanted to proceed.  I asked her about the date of the alleged incident and it made no sense as we did not live there when the supposed crime occurred by almost a year and a half.  She had the bank I used to use, the last four digits of a checking acct. no., routing number,  references of people I really know and would use, and every address I ever lived at.  I told her I needed to do some research and I would call her back.  She gave me a number of 855-483-8097 and that it was a direct line to her.
I did my research called the bank and found out that the last 4 digits did not match the only acct. I have ever had with that bank.  I even Called Ace Cash Express and I am not even in their system at all.  When I found this out I called my local Police Dept and filed a report just in case if I was served with fictitous papers.
I gave this a few days and nothing.  Just for S**** and Giggles I called back the number that she gave.  Surprise!  The number was no longer a working number.  So I called the 888-779-7118 number and they identified themselves as GSA management now.  They asked for the case number they gave me, and low and behold I was transferred to Amanda Austin.  I asked what company she worked for and location and now it was GSA management and she was in Jacksonville, FL.
She remembered who I was and went into the mumbo jumbo of all the crap she layed me with the previous day.  And said that there was an attempt to serve me and said the address they supposedly tried to serve me at.  I laughed in her face!  She told me an address that I lived at almost a decade ago, but a few days ago she had my current address.  She started yelling at me and I told her to listen to me and she finally did.  I told her I contacted the bank and that the acct number they had did not match and the DOB on the application was not mine and that Ace Cash Express had no record of me.  At this point she was screaming at me and that I was going to be served eventually and I was going to have to pay for my actions and all that crap.  Then I told her that the conversation we were having was being recorded and she screamed again ? you don?t have the right to do that!?  I told them if I ever received a call from them again, I was going to file suit against them for harassment.  
People do your homework!  Just like me, I am sure you owe a lot of people a lot of money.  Don?t let them get away with it.

I got a call on feb 26, 2013 at work from a different number and they told me to call this number. I am glad that I came home and googled both numbers and found that this is a scam. I just came out of bankruptcy and when we purchased our house 10 years ago we had to pay off any outstanding debts in order to get our home loan. And all of our credit cards were in my husband's name. I now know if they call me at work again I will tell them they can contact my lawyer I used for our bankruptcy because any thing we had outstanding was put into that.

Amber Austin contacted my 93 year old grandmother that I have lived with in over 4 years and told her that I would be summoned with court papers for pending charges for a payday loan that I know that I do not have. So I called her and asked for documentation and she stated that she doesnt have anything to provide me. So I have reported a fraud case to Sheriff department on this situation.

I got that the from the same guy today! He had me crying and everything! I ALMOST gave him money too! He said I owed $2000, but if I paid $598 today, they would settle out of court! He had me crying and I believed him. I told him that I would call him back by 3pm today, and when I got off the phone with DEXTER CARTER, I reversed searched this number 1-888-779-7118 and found it was a scam! He had me going too! Had basic personal information, which made me believe he was legit! If he calls back, I will give him my attorney's number! I feel so much better! I have NEVER recieved ANYTHING in the mail regarding this so called cash advance loan.

this company has been calling for months.....harassing my inlaws.....refusing to give information without my giving them personal information.........bullcrap!!!!  not gonna happen folks

I was just threatend today by this "Stearns associates" when I questioned the "litigator" on who was after me apparently a pay day loan company which Im 2011,  I fild bankruptcy and it was okay'd by the federal bankruptcy laws of this country. I asked him all the pertinent info like  whose after me and ow much what's their address ? He could only tell me the name of the company and amount. He wouldn't even give me th address to his company's building. I informed this man I have an attorney and he can directly call his office.
He said since I had an attorney he no longer could speak me. .The company that I owed money wa under bankruptcy. He threatend not only me but my sister who because of losing everything by 2011 I liv on her sofa. This man Rich Haggert tries to scare you. I wish I had called the police and reported this man. But I'm
Not at my address I'm out of town. H said I would be getting served. My attorney was going to call them, prayerfully this is finished . Don't let them intimidate you that's what they like to do .

What is the statute of limitations concerning a past due debt?

Same thing. Called my parents in another state saying had a summons for me. I heard you aren:t notified when being served until it happens

May I ask how long ago this been & what did they do? Because the same thing just happened to me

Goodman Stern and Associates has called my mother and now calling another relative about an old debt that was discharged in bankrupcy back in 2004. They have been leaving messages that a police will come serve me papers etc. I feel like it's very demeaning and cruel what these people doing and it needs to STOP!

OMG...Im freaking out. this just happened to me right now. about 10 minutes ago. I have to say, I am still nervous. But thank to reading your responses i feel better. Well, I was not as lucky as you were. About a year ago this people called me telling me that i have an ACH law suit. According to them i had taken a payday loan back in 2007 (it was now 2012) for $400 and never paid it back. They company was now suing me and they wanted their money back or a warrant for my arrest was going to be issued in the 50 states. I was so scared. I did take out a loan and paid it. So, they did have the right informaion, i was just not sure why they thought i did not pay. Now, at this point i was unemployed. I have a person on the phone telling me if i did not pay this money in about two hours they were going to arrest me. So, I begged them to give me sometime to get the money and I got the money. I was so scared that i did not think clearly. They told me that i had no time to pay with a check or credit card. they instructed me to  get a money card at walgreens and call them back with the information. And I DID!..They promised to send me my confirmation via email, which i never received. They stole my money. Now, today they call back. This time they said they were calling from the Civil Service Procedure Department. They transfer me a few times and sent me to a guy that was very rude when i asked him to give me more details. He was upset and i asked where was this case. He was not able to responde and told me that I should know who i owe and what i sign. He said " ok. no problem. we will take this case to litigation and serve you the documents". I knew they were lying. I am so sick and tired of these scammers. They wanted to do it again to me. Im so furious right now. I was in my office when i got this stupid call.

Pleaseeeee always ask for details and ask for them to mail you something as proof and tell them that your attorney will contact them on your behalf. These people are sick!

Keep receiving calls from this # for an unknown individual.  Unfortunately for them, they called a law firm.  When I questioned further, they identified themselves as "Civil Procedures" with a # of 1-888-779-7118, although the caller ID showed a # from Chicago (312) exchange.  When I asked for their address, "Jennifer Scott" indicated they do not have an address.....I specifically told them to remove our # from their list, as the person they were looking for does not work here.  In addition, I laughed when they indicated they were calling to deliver legal documents....I asked "since when does a company call someone to let them know they are being served?"  I also told them I would be reporting them to the attorney general's office.

Call your Atty General or file a complaint against and get on FTC website and file a complaint against them there too.  They have violated FDCPA  regulations.

I just got a call saying I was going to be served papers tomorrow and they gave me this number, I called and gave them my case number and was reading all of your stuff at the same time. Thank you for all of your inputs. I told her I am reading on line this is a scam and that I was not giving her the last 4 of my ss number and she hung up on me?? Thank You :-)

This company is calling me and threatening me with legal action on an account that is over 7 years old.  The person who continuously calls me is Rich Hagard? What can be done about this?

This number called my sister and asked her when I would be home to be served papers. I haven't lived with her in 15 years!!! I don't have any bills that i can think of that someone would threaten me with legal action. I've searched the case number they provided and could not locate anything.

We got a call from them today beaware of this number they are using to call with also. 312-614-1344 they also call from. The woman tells you her name is Jackie Wilson but can't tell you anything about the paperwork to be served. We know for a fact we don't own anyone due to our banruptcy 2 years ago which cleared up our credit and we have not missed any payments on any of our other accounts.
I wish that the Police or someone would actually catch these people and put them in jail.

I answered the phone because it came up with a local cell#. I was home because I was waiting for a doctor to call. Ms Jackie Wilson was the person on the phone she said she was from a document service. Wanted to delivery some papers to me and asked if I was going be home the next day. Being a single Mom I never tell strangers when I am going to be home. She gave me the phone # to call and a case#. Decided to google the # first. This is the second scam I have gotten the last ones had my last four digits of my Social. That was scary. I know if any liginament debit collectors would have lawyers call or have you served by the police department. They need to stop calling my phone #.

Received call from 312-614-1344 and young lady stated I would be receiving legal documents.  

I asked person who is sending me docs, what address are they sending to, and what is it about.  Was given case number and told me to call 888-779-7118.

When I called the number twice a woman stated "Stern & Assc." and put me on hold - no one ever came back to line.

Did you ever get calls back from them? They are calling my inlaws and I have never used their number either. Did they ever send anyone to your house? Should I be scared? They wouldnt give me any information about the account because I wouldnt give them my ss# to verify the account. I told them I wouldnt give them my info until they tell me what this is about. She said that I would have someone at my door tomorrow to summons me.

the same number harressed me for 3 months about an online payday loan i filled out but never recieved .. now there harressing my dad ... its a scam they used to tell me they were cops about to pick me up at work ..... the only way i avoid them now is not answer the phone ... got caller id

I keep getting the call also, for my daughter in law, I told them my lawyer advised to record the call they hang up today I told the woman to spell the name of the company she was from, she said it was a Civil case, and gave me a number and case number to call back. didn't get as far as asking any more since I was not the person she was looking for. the call came from a cell phone, then gave me this number to call back . I asked if they would like to just deliver the papers to my lawyer, not much response to that either.
