Debt Collector
Recieved a call from this number 2 days in a row.  Every-time I tried to return the call it would ring and stop, could not get through.  This person called again and I answered and was told his name and that he worked in the Office of Dexter Cruz and that it was a legal matter and that he needed to speak with my attorney.  My reply was; what is it concerning, he said that it was an online payday loan that I had received.  Once I told him that I had not received one he became very beligerant and said they would be filing a law suit and the sheriff would come out and I would be arrested whether at home or work and hung up! Not professional at all.

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Called my cell phone (3 times) & work (2 times). Said his name is Michael Johnson & I needed to call the following # 916-259-9447 or have my lawyer call him. That the call should not be disregarded. Failing to return the call all he can say is "Wish you good luck @ situation that..." (Cannot understand) then says "Good bye & GOD bless"

Learn to speak English before you try to call & leave messages.

I received an unintelligible message from this number and returned the call.  He advised me that I am being sued for check fraud and other things regarding a loan I supposedly took out from cash advance online they had my phone number my name last four of my social security, and email and said they were from an attorneys office.When pressed for details, date, amount etc, he stammered like Porky Pig.  I advised him that Muhammed was a child rapist and enjoyed taking it anally and that his mother ate pork on a regular basis.
I then gave him my current address and wished him a good day...

Yes I just received the call on my job, but they did know I always answer the switchboard and they did not know who I was.  They used the Name of Matthew Jones from Law offices of John A Best.  I checked my best friend 'Google.com" and it was indeed a law office, but not the one they are from.  SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!!

They keep calling my job for a person with a different last name.  I receive calls from them twice a week at the least.  Sometimes they call me over and over again.  I have told them that they have reached the wrong number but they continue to harrass me.  They left me two messages on my work voicemail Saturday with a threatening/harrassing message.

Same thing happened to my husband today. He said he was from a lawyers office that was hired by a collection agency on a payday loan. Took my husband a while but he did finally get him say what payday loan it was from. He wanted my husband to put the money on a prepaid debit card and then call him back. My husband was going to pay them, but now glad I'm he refused to take my debit card info. The calls came from 9162450720 and 9162599447, so be on the look out for these numbers.

Received a phone call from 9162599447 left on my work voice mail.  Heavily accented person stating his name is "michael brown."  Stated I must respond immediately or face legal and/or other remediation.  Michael Brown could barely make sentences.  Tried calling number, get a hang up.  A scammer for sure.  Disturbing that they can make a living doing this.  Could not even understand msg well enough to get the company name.

I received a call this morning at 7:30 am (916) 259-9447 FROM LOOMIS, CA.  The guy said his name was DANIEL MARTIN from the state attorney's office and I was in big trouble.  I asked him where was state attorney's office  and he said he was in L.A.  and he needed to discuss some important business with my sister.  I told him to mail her the information and do not call this number again.

Of course they called back and I did not answer.  I am going to put a block on the number. I WENT ON LINE AND SAW THE BUILDING THEY ARE WORKING FROM.  THE GUY COULD BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH.
