They called and said they were going to arrest me because of a credit card account that I do not have.  Ran my credit report and of course no account on there.  I then attempted to call David Noble back and he was on the phone with no return call.  I then contacted the local police dept and found this was a scam.  I have since called David Noble back and left him a message telling him to never contact me again and am contacting the FTC.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT THIS COMPANY THAT CALLED FROM THIS PHONE#, WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND HELPED ME TAKE CARE OF A BILL THAT COULD HAVE COST ME MORE WITH THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR. I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE TREATED ME!

Of course Greg Moroney above would say it was OK, he is part of this scam!!!!
Call your local police department!!!!

This compnay called and threatened my daughter with a "civil action" with a summons to be delivered in 48 hours if she did not make a payment on a credit card debt which is a couple of years old...scared her half to death. I advised her to work with a credit agency to pay off the debt and to ignore this call.

LIAR, Nice try David or whatever you decide to call yourself today.
Your scam is too obvious. Go crawl back under a rock.

they also use this number (951) 340-3080. and have been harassing us for money. f****ng b*****ds....
i been getting alot scams through the mail too, but not from this (fake) company....

that bast-ard dug into my info and new about the land we own and he told me where they where located too. he said back in 2000 that my mom owned credit card i never even heard of. fu-ck he waitd until my mother died last month and called. ill fu-ckin sue him until a fly cant land on him. he better hope i dont find him. ill beat the fu-ck out him. i swear....

I got the same phone call that I was going to be served for a visa bill of an outstanding amount! I gave him my Attorneys number! But after looking this number up and finding out what a phony he is I contacted my attorney he said if the phony calls again that we will serve him papers for violating an automatic stay! I hope Mr. Noble is reading this! You picked on the wrong person! Beware!

Someone by the name of David Noble called. It's the same scam story as the rest that I've read. I was leary about the whole thing and my intuition was right - JUST SCAMMERS!!!!

Could this be you? It certainly sounds like you. Articulate and perceptive/argumentative but superior.

That sorry sack of s***, called again. He Treatened to send the Sheriff to serve me for a $120.00 debt..(from 2001) I Told the A**hole to send them and NOT to call back until the papers where served. AND that the S***bird was STILL a Liar, Fake and a Phoney...

Crappy Pants has not called me back OR sent the Sheriff to serve me

FYI
http://www.la.bbb.org/Business-Report/DC-Brown-and-Associates-100065182

I got 2 calls from them today.  I have had very good luck at contacting the BBB in their city and filing a complaint with the BBB.  Forget the donotcall/FCC/FTC routes, they don't get results. The BBB will NOT turn loose until you get satisfaction. Their website is also good at finding a company through their phone number.

I received several calls in the past week from DC Brown and Assoc. I finally had a moment to return the call and was told that I am a defendant in a civil case against me for a credit card that I had in 1999. I explained that I had never had a credit card with the bank that he was referring to and he proceeded to tell me that, "He was atleast smart enough to remember the credit cards he had had for several years and that since I am apparently refusing to pay I will be served by the sheriff on next Tuesday. Scared me at first until I looked them up> THANK YOU to all of you who have documented this harrassment. I will be filing a complaint with the FTC and the local police in CA. Thank you all again!!!!!

Several calls from an individual giving his name as David Noble. This guy tried various tactics at intimidation, using degradating comments such as "I went to a better school than you," and "I make more money than you," etc. One of these calls, taken by my wife, who is disabled, was most disturbing. This company and their representatives, has taken liberties that go way beyond that which is legally allowed

Conrad Masters is another one that calls from this company. He tries to be the "nice" guy. They have a good cop, bad cop thing going on. I just filed with the FTC as well. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

I am Iva Minks employer and these folks keep calling for Iva Mink.  I have told them I am her employer and to please not contact her at work, rather I would be happy to give them her home number so they can deal with her one on one (since she is the one they are calling, not me).  He promptly told me that he wouldnt remove my name and number until I had Iva Dean Mink call him directly.  I asked him if he was David Noble and he said "yes".  I told him I understood he was in trouble for violating the codes that I read in this email post above and he started screaming for me to "shut the hell up" and hung up on me.  The number that called in on my phone is 951-340-3077.

This is my second post. The first one is the one where they almost got me for $1200. Another guy called today from D.C. Brown & Associates @ 951-340-3071. He said my file had now been forwarded to his "dept". I forget his name. Anyway he was playing the good guy and apologized for Davids "aggressiveness". I told him they were being illegal and recited everything I read from the FTC website. I told him even if I did have this debt the statute of limitations ran out. He actually admitted that. I asked if he or David Noble are attorneys. He said "no" but David "works for one". He still tried to reason with me to give him money. He admitted that "neither I, nor David can do anything because we are not attorneys". He said "all I can do is recommend to my client that they file on you with the IRS for have unearned income". What a joke. This is the only information I could find on these scavengers. http://www.ci.corona.ca.us/index.cfm?section= ... d=579&id=630037

This guy almost got me as well. I just got off of the phone with him. He freaked me out and I almost sent him $1,200. Things didnt add up and we got into a mouth battle. He says he is going sue me and turn me into the IRS for not reporting income. He screamed like a madman and hung up on me. What the hell is this guys deal. The debt he says he is trying to collect is from Oct. of 1999. What an A-hole. I called the FTC. They said even if it were true it's beyone PA's statuatory of limitations on credit card debt (which is 4 yrs). They suggested I contact my states cpa. I filed a complaint with my states Consumer Protection Agency. We'll see what comes out of it. If that doesnt work I'll file one with the FTC. I'm also going to send David Noble a certified letter telling him to stop contacting me.

This person called my boyfriends phone and said he was collecting on a debt from 2001/2002 at a location where he never lived.  "John Masters" represented himself as an attorney and said the marshalls were going to serve papers.  When confronted that he was a fraud and after telling him he violated every collection act he was then very agressive and threatening.  Not a legit company and I will be looking into filing suit since he violated my personal rights and illegally accessed my personal cell phone account. Not to mention reporting him to the FTC and everyone I can find.

THE SAME DEAL COME TOO ME SAYING THAT I WAS OWN A OLD DEBT THAT IF I DIDNT
NOT PAY IN FULL HE.SHE WAS GOING TO.CALL THE SHERIFF OFFICE.THAT I NEED TO
COME-UP WITH 15.000DLLS.THEN HE-SHE CALL ME AT .WORK.THAT A POLICE OFFICER

Hello David (or whatever name you choose for yourself today)...

Nice attempt at a bluff, but you still are a liar, fake and a phoney.

Crawl back under whatever rock you came from.

LIAR- David NEVER sues or pays his employees! And he is out of Bizness

OK whos been served out of the bunch here? any one?? who has actually gone to court from these guys? Or better yet who has been successful at getting the calls to stop?

They called me and I told them to go f*** themselves and I will continue to tell them that and if they come serve papers on me kool, I can tell them in person. Dont be scared of these so called collecters they are rude and I can also be.

I was being called for about a month straight. They stoped calling and I thought it was over. Then a knock came on my door. I was served....Their tactics are rude, i did find out that they are legit and are creditors of record. they offer 50%, i passed on it. Ended up costing me 133% with attny fees and court costs.  Settle, they will eventually come.

June 1.2009: Just had a call from D C Brown and associates.  My son had a call from these same poeple May 29,2009 telling him he owed $1500 and if he didn't pay it by June 2,2009 they would have him arrested and have his real estate  attached.  Funny thing is he has no real estate. So today they call me and tell me they are going to have him arrested if I don't pay the bill.  I told him he was a scam and I was not going to pay him.  He then called me a loud mouth like my son and told be to shut up.  I was not nice at all after that when I finished I hung the phone and then they called right back.  I did not answer.

Same deal, I received two calls: 1st to my parents-in-law, and 2nd to my father.  Both voice mails referenced the same case number and call back number.  Someone named "Tina" was on the 1st call and "David Noble" was on the 2nd call.  I tried to call the number 951.340.3080 but got a recording for DC Brown & Associates.  I did not leave a message b/c I suspected fraud.  The "old debt" the call was in reference to incurred more than 7 years ago and I paid it in full back in 2005 - so something fishy was definitely going on.  After reading this message board, I decided to file a complaint with the FTC and I will contact local police if they try to contact me again.

I think this guy just got me for close to a grand. Said sheriff would be by Thursday with papers for court for unpaid debt. Not trusting the legal community in my area I didn't want to hassle with courts around here and the debt was with US Bank, to which I do owe money I actually looked at it as motivation to do something I would like to do anyway and just moved that debt to the top of the priority list. He seemed to have accurate info. I tried unsuccesfully to stop the wire I sent after he said, when I gave him the confirmation number, that I could save 700 dollars by sending the balance by next Wednesday. This raised the level of suspicion on my part to where it should have been when I first received the call from the female who then transferred me to David Noble. He spelled out the deal and I fell for it for the reason listed above. Contact me at quickmed1@hotmail.com please.
I got my credit report after seeing this collection of complaints and there was no indication of the debt, though it is out there somewhere owned now by who knows what company. He originally said he was "representing" someone, then said it was a conglomerate, then said it was owned by him after al. I asked him why it wasn't on the credit repoert and he said he had jut purchased the loan and that it would be re-reported, but it would take 60 days or so to show up.
So I'm out the thousand dollars and until I get confirmation from US Bank that it is really owned by him I won't continue with the payments. It's difficult to track the progress of these sold and resold notes I think, but I will try. Yeahhe got me and my only excuse, not reason, but excuse (there really is no GOOD reason for being this stupid) is that I wanted to do the right thing anyway and the painkillers I am taking to couteract the side effects of the chemotherapy for my cancer maybe had me in a foggy state of mind. This is not a play for sympathy, but it may have contributed to being an idiot.
