"And yeah I'm also sure that they will probably never take you to court but the fact of the matter is that they can if they wanted to. "  --  NOT if the Statute of Limitations has run out and it's a Time Barred debt.  In that case, THEY are "SOL" except for trying to harass the person.

I seriously question the debt being charged off in 2008 by the original creditor, yet "legally" still having interest applied to it by a collection agency, since the debtor's contract was with the original creditor and was NOT a party to the sales agreement between the creditor and the collection agency.  

But, I haven't researched that and could be wrong.

the debt collector refused to SIGN for the letter - that is why it was returned,  UPS has to accept the letter - they are not required to sign for it, they are required to get the signature from the debt collector employee who picks up the mail.  

Save that for potential court case - just as it came back to you - do not open or anything else.  It will be PROOF in court that the debt collector refused to validate

We'll pay BUT not to you and others like you (scum) I think we would all like to pay the original creditors what they are owed BUT not you even if you bought the damn debt. I guess that would be a bad business deal and a good write when you pay your taxes OOPS maybe you don't pay taxes cause your out of country

Thats about the worst financial advice I've ever read.  Sure, take out a loan to buy a house and maybe your first car and to pay for education beyond high school.  But other things, save your money and buy it when you can afford it.

Many of the autodialers used by the collectors have the ability to determine if you have more than one account and been contacted by them once during the day.  This gives them the ability to not annoy people with more than one call.  Calling on the same debt twice at the exact same time could be viewed as abusive.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) prohibits debt collectors from abusing or harassing consumers on the phone.  

The best way to stop the collection calls from a legitimate collector is to send a written demand that they cease communications.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) requires that they honor written requests like this, and stop almost all communications.  If you send a letter like this, you should do so by certified mail, return receipt request, and keep a copy of the letter together with the return receipt.  I have posted sample letters on my web site?s law library.  http://www.sue4abuse.com/library.html

Unfortunately, some times the debt collectors have dialed your number but are trying to reach someone else.  In those cases, your best option may be to have an attorney help get their attention or pursue claims under the either the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Yep:

The federal government has gone to court to shut down a Corona-based operation described as a ?shake-down debt collection enterprise? that has ?unjustly? collected more than $9.4 million in a little more than two years? operation ? with many of its alleged victims actually owing nothing to anyone.

Collectors speaking English and Spanish called people nationwide and falsely represented themselves as process servers, lawyers or legal office staff and claimed the people who picked up the phone were facing a lawsuit over an unpaid debt.

A returned call put the consumer in touch with a collector who turned up the heat with escalated threats including wage garnishment or property seizure. Some collectors claimed they were law enforcement and threatened arrest, according to documents filed in the case.

U.S. District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips in Riverside on Oct. 11 granted a temporary restraining order against the businesses named in the Federal Trade Commission civil action. She also appointed a temporary receiver and scheduled another hearing for Monday .

Named as defendants in the FTC filing were several businesses, many of them sharing a couple of addresses in Corona: Rincon Management Services LLC; Prime West Management Recovery LLC; Union Management Services LLC; National Filing Services LLC; Investment Services LLC; Global Filing Services LLC; and Pacific Management Recovery LLC.

Also named in the civil action are two men said in court documents to be behind the companies, Jason R. Begley and Wayne W. Lunsford. ?Defendants have operated their deceptive and abusive scheme since March 2009,? the documents say.

Court records show no attorneys representing either the men or the businesses. A listed phone number for a man matching Begley?s name in Riverside reached a solar power company. The operator said no one named Jason Begley worked there. A number for a man matching Lunsford?s name in Sun City was disconnected.

In papers filed in Phillips? court, an FTC investigator outlined a sophisticated operation with its collectors following a script to deal with questions and challenges from the people they called.

?Defendants represent to the consumer that he can ?settle? the case by making an immediate payment to the defendants. In fact, no lawsuit has been filed nor will soon be filed against the consumer. Defendants simply use these tactics in an attempt to unlawfully collect money from the consumer,? the papers state.

Ha, ha, what a loser.  That's right; no more debtors prison, jerk.  Extortion attempts rarely work, but then again, you would know that better than anyone, right "Silly".  Yup, we all know what you do for a living.   You know, get a real job and live within your means; obviously it's getting hard on a loser like  you when your attempts to take money from people fall flat when your scams are exposed.  This is a great site, and it keeps losers like yourself from stealing from poeple.  Enjoy making your debt collection calls, you loser.  And, enjoy my air horn in the ear each time you or some loser like yourself calls me trying to scam me.  And, you have a nice day, too.

No, they can't throw threats like that.  It is against the Federal Debt Collection laws, which allow them to tell you only if they actually plan to file suit, but it's only you.  It is just another extortion attempt.

Various nationwide collection agencies seem to do just fine with one name.  They just have to follow the law.

You wouldn't need to use 50 names to hide behind, with new ones every month, if you weren't faking.

The Texas AG copied me on a Cease and Desist Order to National Filing Service prompted by my complaint about them collecting in Texas without having a Texas Debt Collection license. I promptly filed three small claims suits for $1000.00 for each of their illegal inquiries on my credit reports and one for $1500 for the illegal call.

If you live in Texas and they have called you or pulled your credit report send a letter to the Texas AG and the Texas Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner asking for their Licensing information.  Once they respond that they do not have a license to act as debt Collection Company in Texas you can sue them for up to $1000 for each inquiry they make to your bureau and $1500 for each call they make to you.  Just go the small claims court pay the $50.00 filing fee.  When you go to court, take the letter from the AG, your credit reports showing the illegal inquiry and if you sue for the calls your phone record showing the inbound calls. It?s a slam dunk case since they are not licensed in Texas you will win at least $3k for the credit reports. Now collecting the money after you win will likely be hell, frauds don't like to pay their debts.

Previously I wrote about an outfit called County Filing Services that was calling people and making what appear to be false claims about court cases for alleged collection accounts.

See this article, County Filing Services Says They Have a Summons for Me. ? Jo.

Someone just commented on that article there were other sites out there on the web that appeared similar to the County Filing Services website, and they are right.

A search found that the following companies host the same website under different names:
# Superior Filing Service ? superiorfiling.net
# Nationwide Filing Service ? nationwidefiling.net
# Capital Filing Service ? capitalfiling.net
# Southcoast Financial Services ? southcoastfinancial.biz
# Eagle Filing Service ? eaglefiling.net
# Asset Filing Service ? assetfiling.net
# Raincross Filing Service ? raincrossfiling.net
# Westcoast Filing Service ? westcoastfiling.net
# Worldwide Filing Service ? worldwidefiling.net
# Universal Filing Service ? universalfiling.net
# County Filing Service ? countyfiling.net

So I thought that maybe the companies were branches that were located in different parts of the country. I took a look at the addresses they listed on their sites.

   * Superior Filing Service
     866-731-7040
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-128
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Nationwide Filing Service
     877-279-4803
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-190
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Capital Filing Service
     888-430-1651
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-266
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Southcoast Financial Services
     877-301-4517
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-208
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Eagle Filing Service
     877-826-1427
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-164
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Asset Filing Service
     877-329-3448
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-267
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Raincross Filing Service
     877-287-4435
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-198
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Westcoast Filing Service
     866-727-3113
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-109
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Worldwide Filing Service
     877-279-4792
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-175
     Corona, CA 92881
   * Universal Filing Service
     877-320-6375
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-210
     Corona, CA 92881
   * County Filing Service
     888-416-8110
     1240 E. Ontario Ave
     Suite 102-271
     Corona, CA 92881

In my previous article I had already determined that the street address was for a mail drop so it appears all of these operations are using the same mail drop facility but different telephone numbers.

I then took a look at the State of California official records to see if any of the businesses are registered to legal operate in California. Here is what I found.

   * Superior Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Nationwide Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Capital Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Southcoast Financial Services
     Incorporated: May 12, 2011
     Agent for Service: INCORPORATING SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC.
     Agent Address: 333 CITY BLVD STE 1700
     Agent City, State, Zip: ORANGE CA 92868
   * Eagle Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Asset Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Raincross Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Westcoast Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Worldwide Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * Universal Filing Service ? Not Registered to Operate
   * County Filing Service

     Incorporated: April 8, 2011
     Entity Address: 1325 SPRUCE ST #300
     Entity City, State, Zip: RIVERSIDE CA 92507

     Agent for Service of Process: SAMUEL G LOCKHART
     Agent Address: 1325 SPRUCE ST STE 300
     Agent City, State, Zip: RIVERSIDE CA 92507

Steve?s Warning

At this point this appears to be anything but a legitimate operation. The need for multiple mail drops, deceptive similar websites, and the fact that a number of these entities are not registered to do business in California raises a number of red flags for me.

If you receive a call from any of these entities, don?t feel pressured to make a payment or give them any of your personal information. Instead I would suggest you do the following:

  1. Contact a local attorney for help to understand the accusations these companies appear to make that court cases have been filed.
  2. Contact your local county court clerks office to see if any such case has been filed.
  3. File complaints. Type up the complaint in a text file so you can copy and paste it to all the sites below. This will save you from typing it over and over.
         * File a BBB report against the company making false claims. You can file a BBB complaint here.
         * File a complaint with the California Attorney General?s office. You can file a California complaint here.
         * File a complaint with the Attorney General office located in your state.
         * Post a comment below to detail your experience with any of the companies listed above.
         * Complete a scam report.
