Mr Rodriguez called me on Friday too collect $ from a 10 year debt. I thought it was suspicious when he said I had a court date & which I was never served whatsoever!  So I employed the services of a dear friend that is a lawyer and told me I was being scammed.  State of California has statutes that do not exceed over 4 years..its been over ten! Mr Rodriguez never gave me any info where he worked or whom he represented. I know it was a debt from Crescent jewelrs and he told me I could be locked up for theft
I will call the DA's office on Monday.

I also paid my debt through Mr. Rodriguez.I verified my debt with the bank I owed the money to and then was given a number to call and pay my debt. I was then given a paid in full letter and then opened up a new checking account. Did you follow the process and verify your debt?

This number originates to Pomona, CA. It's a supposed direct line to Mr. Rodriguez who emailed me a letterhead with the name Hyatt&Associates. The address on the letterhead is 1030 N. Mountain Ave. Ontario, CA 91762. It's a UPS store...not a law firm. Other "law firms" linked to the address are Palmar & Associates and Adkins & Jacobs. I'm sure there are others, as well. A "process server" called claiming to have summons papers to deliver. When I asked to know who I was being served by they put me in touch with Mr. Rodriguez who answered "legal department." Then told me I was being sued by US Bank and half of what they were suing me for would make it disappear. Granted I do owe an overdraft to US Bank, but US Bank sold my debt years ago and it's been sold several times since then...their name shouldn't appear on anything as suing me. And, to boot, I can find zero information about who actually owns my debt. I was told I was being sued for malicious intent to defraud a financial institution and the DA was launching an investigation into it. The DA had no clue as to what I was talking about and said report them to the sheriff's office. I haven't done that, but I have filed a report with the FTC. Definitely file a report.
