These people are the same company that call them selves Coastal Mitigation Association.  They just added the name Pacific. The same address East Gerry Avenue Suite 107. Santa Ana Ca. 92705. Different phone number 949-381-2630. Primary contact: Luis Vasquez. Junk debt collectors.

Received a call from "John @ CMA" from this telephone number. He left a message for me and also referenced an address that I have NO knowledge of. Besides...I'm DEBT FREE so I already know I don't owe John or CMA (for that matter) a dime!!!

got a call from 949-812-4684 today.  The man threated to have my husband served with papers for a past debt that is over 5 years old.  He gave me an hour to come up with 500.00 down and said I would need to pay 100.00 for the next two months and pay it off when I got my tax refund.  The amount he said we owed was way above the original debt amount.

I am furious. They will not stop calling. They call my home, cell and work phone numbers. I am on the national "do not call" registry but I called the number again to re-apply. 1-888-382-1222. My phone company said they are scam artists. I have also filed a complaint with the FTC. I called these idiots back and told them not to call ever again, that they have been reported. The snotty girl's reply was, "Oh, I'm so scared...boo hoo, wah wah" then she hung up on me. Unbelievable.
THIS IS A SCAM. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. THEY WILL TRY CALLING AGAIN FROM A DIFFERENT NUMBER. REPEAT, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. THIS IS A SCAM.

I received a call from Mr. Laughlin today about a debt from the company HSBC, from 07/2007.  He told me the amount was an amount that I myself had never accrued.  When I began asking his name again, he would reply "I already told you that". I demanded my account information, and he again replied he had already told me that. He became rather rude and beligerant, and I handed the phone to my fiance, who is a police officer (much more level headed than I), and while on the phone with him, this 'Mr. Laughlin' told my fiance he needed to calm me down.  My fiance repeatedly asked for the name of the company, and they did not say the name. I came back on the phone, exhanged some words, where he began calling me a deadbeat mom because I pay (and am current on, mind you) child support. I hung up the telephone.
We looked the company up and saw a ton of complaints. I called back, and demanded their address, since most, if not ALL places accept mail as a method of payment. They refused to give me their address because there are 'crazy people like you out there'. They said "With the way the mail system is, they don't bother with it".  What way, exactly, is the mail system like???
We hung up, and we went to the police station to file a report.
I finally thought...I should call the company where all of this started, HSBC. I spoke with their recovery department, who told me they sold it to another company. That company sold it to another. That company sold it to another. I get to this company, and they show the debt had been paid (I have proof), and apologized for it being sent anywhere else. They informed me they would call the company they sold it to to pass on 'the good news', and that if I wanted, I could call that company and inform them of what company I spoke with verifying this account had been paid.
When I called Coast Litigations back to inform them of this, the gentleman became extremely rude, demanding I not tell him how to do his job, and good luck proving to them that it had been paid.
This place is nothing but a joke, and I have no idea how they get money off of anyone.

If I were you, the first thing to do is to call the ORIGINAL company in which your debt was owed. They can direct you to where they sold your account. If they sold it, it follows a chain of where your debt was sold to and when for what account. Make double, and triple sure you do not owe on the debt Coast Litigation is trying to get you for.

They tried intimidating me by using terms such as 'lawyers, subpoenas, courts, fees" etc....they are all intimidation. I live in Kansas, and they are all the way in CALIFORNIA for goodness sake! They cannot even be the ones to send out the court papers from their office. An attorney or local sheriff's dept have to bring them to you.

Do your homework, it's worth it! This place, these people are crazy! Good luck to anyone finding this website for the same reason I did. :)

A female who gave her name and Jeanie called and asked for Andrea B. When questioned, she stated that my name had been used as a reference. She provided me with the name, telephone number and file number and stated that Andrea was a defendant in a legal matter and to have her to call her.

I have the same situation where I had a recording. I contacted the federal Trade Commission and filed a complaint. I was contacted and they wanted the recording.   Here is the link to the FTC Complaint form:  https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?lang=en

This company is harassing me and calling my tel no.  I talked to them and they are so rude. It is not my bill and I have asked them to remove my name from their roster list and stop calling me.   They tell me things like, you call this number in the next 10 mins. or a sheriff will be at your house to serve you papers, I expect a call from you by 10:00 a.m tomorrow or........  
They are calling my daughters and members of my family.  They are not very nice people and I would appreciate anything you can do to stop these calls.

i got the same call!!!!! His name was Dean Perry blah blah blah his boss is a rude mother f****r as well...im reporting there a***s!

Definitely let the district attorney know.

I just called back a number that was left at my elderly parents home and this no account BI*** had the nerve to tell me "everyones parents are elderly" If I could have come thru the phone line I would have strangled the bi***.  So help me God if they ever contact me, my famiily or my employer again I will hunt them down.  I have contacted the Attorney Generals Office in KY and their number is on their list of Fraud list.  They are not a Debt Collector they are fakes posing to get whatever information they can on you.  BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

CMA is the name of the company given and the person was Mr. Lawton.  
This person has been calling a friend of mine that is disabled and in bad health.  He has made threats and not has actually told her that the sheriff would be at her door in the morning to serve papers.
I thought this situation had been settle a year ago.   He is calling about something that I have no clue about and supposidly took place over 4 years ago.   Texas statuate of limitations is 4 years.  I don;'t  know how to go forward with this to keep them from calling my friend.

Help

I had the same thing happen...he called about a debt for my daughter....settle for $400...i said i needed to talk to her...she said it's a scam....now time to file that complaint isn't it?

I just received a call from "CMA" saying I needed to call them back before 10 am tomorrow or there would be no need of doing so.  After reading all these posts, (and posted alternate numbers), I realized they've been calling me for awhile in search of the the guy who previously owned the cell number I've had for the past 5 years!  I was going to call them back and let them know their mistake, but now I'm scared to do so.  I don't think they'll believe me.  What steps need to be taken to stop this?

These people are vultures and need to stop this harassment.

These people have been calling my fiancees family looking for me. They have made up an amount and credit card and continue to call me. They leave voice mails and reference numbers there is nothing professional about them. They wont give you an address and they all have multiple names. I am going to be contacting the federal trade commission today and talking to an attorney.

David Vasquez Coast Mitigation Avoid this unprofessional losers.

I been getting calls from David Vasquez. He is saying I have a debt from 8 year ago that  I have to pay. How I know this is a fraud? Im desperate for help anyone please

They call and threaten us with a lawsuit and we will not give them any money. My husband has asked them to send him something that states what he supposedly owes and they refuse to. Say they can't do that. Why would we pay someone for something we don't owe and can't even prove that we do?? If you just tell them that and tell them that you need their address too to send them something they refuse to give it out. They get mad and cuss at you, yell at you, and then they just simply hang up. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY!

My friend got a call from this number.  My friend has had a heart attack and three heart surgeries, and is also on medications, and his health is not good.  He is disabled, and unable to work, but has not begun to get his disability benefits yet.  My friend answered the call, and was told that he owed a $1000 debt to some credit card, and that he would settle for half that evening.  If not, then he would be checking into any seizing any property that my friend had ( which he has none) and that he would be seizing any assets he has ( he doesnt have any) and that he did not care that he was in poor health and unable to work. He then began to say that he would be able to get the money from any of his family that he could possibly find!  My friend hung up on him, and he called right back, and this time I answered the phone.  I asked who it was, and he gave me a mutter of an answer that I could not understand, and I asked what supposed card he was collecting for, considering that my friend hasnt had a credit card, and after he had his heart attack, I was the one who got his bills paid for him every month and I am the one who took care of all of his mail for him.  The man replied that my friend did owe the money, and that he was demanding payment at that moment.  I explained to him that my friend had NO money, and the rude SOB said that if he did not receive payment that night, that he would be sending police officers over that evening to arrest my friend and put him in jail!!!  I got extremely angry and upset at this, and he would not let me speak, he kept interrupting me and then I got extremely angry and then he hung up with a warning of "he had tried to help my friend, but he would be going to jail".  This man--this so called what--attorney?--is  nothing but a lying and thieving thing!  I called the FTC right after I got off the phone with him, and I also called my state's consumer protection agency.  The FTC said that he COULD NOT get my friend arrested, and that he would have to go through a whole judicial system if he wanted to try to collect, but to the FTC rep it sounded like a scam.  If anyone knows how I can help my friend with this any further, please let me know!!

If there is going to be  a lawsuit, I would like to add our names to it

If you speak to these people, and they threaten you in any way,PLEASE call the FBI!  This is direct word from the ATTY GEN of my state!

I live in WV, and we got a call from him last night.  We spoke to the FTC, The WV Consumers Protection Agency last night afterwards, and today the WV Attorney General spoke to us personally on the phone.  This guys--or people, I should say--are scam artists, and the Atty Gen. knew the number well.  I have some info from him , and if all goes well, these guys will hopefully soon be out of business for good!  This gut CANNOT send any police officers, nor can they get papers served.  Either the debt they claim to be collecting for is not valid, or it does not belong to you, or it is so many years old that it can no longer be collected on.  I have searched and searched this since I was told this by the Atty Gen, and I can find of no place here on the internet stating that papers were ever served on anyone these people were threatening.  When i spoke to this fool last night, I got very angry, and when he realized that he could not intimidate me, he hung up on me.  Not to say that he will not call us again, because he may.  Its according to how foolish he is I suppose.  I read on another post on another site other than this that if you snap back at them, they will hang up because they feel they cannot intimidate you and will give up.  They will have your social security on hand possibly, and quote it back to you, and then tell you that they will take your personal property from you, send you to jail, collect the money from your family, ect ect ect.   DO NOT let them intimidate you!  DO NOT give them ANY personal info, do not agree with your social security number, DO NOT agree with them when they state your address to you for verification so they can "send an officer to arrest you".  When they first come on the phone, they sound like a friend calling.  They do not use "mister" or Mrs" or anything.  They will chat  and use your first name and ask how you are doing today.  Then they go for the throat!  You can hang up on them, but they will come back.  Call the FTC in Washington, DC, then call your state Consumer Protection Agency.  The BBB will not handle any cases for us here in WV about this, but the FTC and the CPA will.  Also, contact the FBI.  yes, the FBI--this word came from the Atty Gen himself. PLEASE contact the FBI !!  Believe me
