June 2008     While I was deployed with the U S Army, Kathy (A representative of SCA) called my Mothers house attempting to collect a debt I have been paying back to the original creditor for about a year. In Kathy's conversation with my mother she not only disclosed my information concerning the debt, she told my mother if payment was not made immediately she would report this to my military commander causing me trouble, and losing my security  clearance. My mother, who is elderly and on a fixed income, got very upset that SCA had the ability to get me in trouble with the military and sent them a check. Since then they continued to call my house almost twice a week extorting my mother to pay more (which she didn't before I got home). I CURRENTLY HAVE A LAW SUIT filed in NYS District court for 6 FDCPA violations ~ my lawyer is hoping for 6 figures, as my mother is a co-plaintiff.

 

June 2008    I got a voice mail from a recorded message. When I called back, I spoke to a young woman (who was actually very pleasant) and was told that they were collecting for a payday loan that I thought I had paid two years ago. I explained that I wasn't refusing to pay, but that I wasn't going to commit to anything until I saw something in writing.

The very next day, I got a message from someone in "the legal department" saying that they were getting ready to file suit. When I explained that we were talking about a debt that I wasn't sure I owed, and for that matter had known about for a grand total of about 24 hours, he got very gruff and explained that I could either pay him $400, or he could take me to court and I could wind up paying him $1200. I asked if he was, in fact, a lawyer, and he refused to answer. I sent a validation request the very next day, and have yet to hear anything...


 April 2008   This company has been calling us on and off for several years. They are looking for someone, that is not us. We purchased our house after it was foreclosed on, by the person that they're looking for. I have no idea who this person is, he was long gone before we moved in. I keep asking them how they got our phone number and they tell me that the person they're looking for put it down as a contact number. What? I know they are looking up our address and just calling our number. I am past the point of being cordial to them and keep asking them to stop calling. They get rude, as if I'm trying to hide this person. Is this even legal? this person. It's NOT our debt, is this legal?

2007   There was a message on my machine last week about a summons being issued and to call about case ######. Called and was told that a summons was issued but they could hold the summons if I paid for a check and go loan from 4 years ago. Told that the check was on a closed account and it was a felony. They said I could resolve it with them and they could hold the summons they said had already been issued. Then a message was left from an "investigator" from a number at the lake county court house "general number" saying to call the 1-800-795-0831 number and resolve the issue prior to summons. Monday the Corbett law office called again, legal services on caller id "716-206-2547" Bob Peters again.

I felt something might be wrong. I called the clerks office and they had no info on case # ####, I called the office and told the lady that I would wait for the summons and hire an attorney, and not to contact me again. 15 minutes later Bob Peters left a message saying a summons would be issued in 72 hours and 4 attorneys could not help me.

2007   Hi there. I have been contacted by this agency numerous times for the past month now. They say I owe money for a debt that has been paid off two years ago. Not only do they harass me everyday and threaten me every time I request to speak with a supervisor, but then they also go on harassing my parents, especially when I tell them to delete that number. Yet they still call it. I keep on telling this agency to send me a letter of the debt owed even though they say they have sent it before. I have moved recently and have never received any letter that they state they sent. I keep on asking for a letter from them and that once I receive that letter, I will send them a cashiers check if I do owe the money. Till date they have not complied with my request and keep on threatening to take me to court. What can I do to get these guys off my back and to stop harassing me?
