November 2008 MoreStar This company has a new number that is showing up now 770 783 1107 and threatening my sister saying since she knows me that makes her a person of interest and that they are coming after her. They call my sister all the time saying they have her down as a reference for a payday loan i took out. After talking with them they have left several messages threatening me that a sheriff was being sent to my house to arrest me. What can be done to take them to court for harassment?

This is a scam that has been allowed to go for too long.
Tobias Boyland, Dellian Sharp and Dorian Well operate an
illegal debt collection agency.
This group of known drug users and convicted felons buys old
portfolios of debt, and then is allowed access to credit
bureau reports that are bursting with consumer information.
They use that information in their attempts to lie, extort,
and pose as law enforcement.
These people are NOT anything other than scum, who lie and
steal money they are not entitled to collect. This gang of
criminal collectors is a half step away from a prison cell.
Their operation uses Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) to
give consumers the impression the calls are made from a
Maryland area code, they are not.
VOIP allows the user to program in any area code they
desire. This is illegal under law as it violates the FDCPA.
Anyone receiving calls from this future cellblock of
collection criminals are warned to NEVER give them any
information, especially your bank account and/or credit card
information.
They are liars, thieves and con men, some convicted
criminals.
August 2008 This company has scam all over it. They seem to be working with another scam organization called Litigation Consulting Service, using a OH address but located in Buffalo, NY. According to information on various websites More Star, LLC may not legally own any of the debts it is collecting. They do not have any license or bonds anywhere in the country. SCAM! SCAM ! SCAM!
August 2008
received a call from Michael Sanchez (who originally worked
for Jef Booth) about an old credit card debt with Household
Bank. Mr. Sanchez now works for Jason Head, Attorney. Seems
that they were "assigned" the debt by Unistates Credit
Agency's one and only Ms. Amy Oatmeyer. They provided me a
copy (clearly made on a copy machine, and a bad copy it was)
of a validation of debt. First mistake, it was the incorrect
amount. The validation of debt was signed by Jack S
(couldn't make out the last name).
Well, then I get a call from Litigation Consulting Services,
threatening me with arrest, jail, and everything else under
the sun. They say THEY are the legal owners of the same debt
that Unistates Credit Agency is trying to collect, and that
I need to pay them, not Unistates Credit Agency.
So, I call Mr. Sanchez, told him about it, told him to call
Amy Oatmeyer (she did return my phone call once) because I
had left at least 12 messages about this on her voice mail,
and figure out what was going on.
Today I get a letter from More Star LLC, trying to collect
the same debt that Unistates and Litigation Consulting
Services are trying to collect.
I know that Litigation Consulting Services is also More Star
LLC, but is it possible that Unistates are also tied in with
them?
Litigation Consulting Services left me a message at work,
and I tracked the number to Maryland. I asked them for a
validation of debt, a mailing address, and a fax number and
guess what, they refused to give me any information. All
they wanted is my bank account number, which NO ONE is
getting.
I have the letter from More Star if it will help your cause,
and I've requested for a third time a validation letter from
Jason Head's office which is supposed to come from Unistates.
I'm getting all my ducks in a row, and going to demand that
this be removed from my credit file and I will file
complaints with anyone who will listen.
August 2008 i received a call from 240-235-5617 Mr. freeman with litigation consultants on 8-14-8 he said a was a respondent in a superior court case where i am being brought up on multiple criminal charges such as fraud and theft etc for an old repossessed car i had. i informed him i paid that off and he said i was frauded and he is the true debt holder. his ass
August 2008 i received a call from 240-235-5617 Mr. freeman with litigation consultants on 8-14-8 he said a was a respondent in a superior court case where i am being brought up on multiple criminal charges such as fraud and theft etc for an old repossessed car i had. i informed him i paid that off and he said i was frauded and he is the true debt holder. his associate told me if i did not make payment arrangements immediately i would be taken from my infant daughter and thrown in jail. i went off on him then called my county court house and was told there is no such case against me. i will be filing harassment charges with my local pd and the Colorado attorney generals office.
August 2008 I just received a phone call from a Ms. Shelbrooks 240-235-5614 stating there is a warrant out for my arrest in a civil case and that I had to call in 48 hours to clear it up. I looked them up online and was led to your website. It seems that they are either changing phone numbers all the time or that different scammers are calling from their home phones. Unbelievable! They all need to get a real job!
August 2008 I was extorted for money from the above listed criminal scam ring. I received a phone call on 7/15/08 with a message left on my answering machine from a man stating that I must return a call to him within 24 hours regarding litigation number HBR?? or there would be a warrant issued for my arrest. When I returned a call to 240-764-4265, I was instructed that the caller was authorized to offer a one time settlement on my credit card debt for 1002.86 and this would release me from any liability on this debt. The caller had my correct debt account number. I asked him to give me 24 hours to do some research and he threatened that if I did not provide payment during our phone call, he would proceed with legal action and a warrant for my arrest. I reluctantly agreed and he said he would transfer me to accounting so they could record my information. I gave my checking information and, in turn, received an approval code KMC????. The money was deducted from my checking account on 7/17/08 via electronic check. This company is based out of Ohio but also has a Maryland branch. I am in the process of pursuing legal action against them.
August 2008 I just received a phone call from a Tabitha Cook (204-696-1772)stating there is a warrant out for my arrest in a civil case and that i had to call another number to clear it up. I called the other number (240-764-4264) and got voice mail saying they would call me back. He said he was Investigator Daniel Hoffman warrants division Bethesda Maryland. Not sure what to think I went web surfing and found this site. Thank you. I also found this website. http://whatdoesitmean.net/a/20911~New_Scams_-_Litigation_Consulting_Services_LLC.html
July 2008 My son received several harassing calls, on his job, from this bogus company. He asked them to stop calling him at work and hung up each time. He also told them he did not owe anything. A few days later I received a v/m message demanding I call this individual back with a case number. I called the company back and a man answered, identifying himself as Cameron Price. He said the company had called my home looking to speak with my son. I would not give him any information and inquired the reason for calling. He stated my son owed an outstanding debt to a credit card company in Florida, back in 2002. I knew my son had reported this card stolen back in 2002 and also that the statue of limitations has run out or about to - according to Florida Law. In asking questions concerning the company (I recognized the area code as coming from Montgomery County, Md.). Price admitted his office is in Bethesda, MD., but would not answer further questions. I grew up in Montgomery County and know Bethesda very well. Just like some of the other "victims" I have been reading about, I was placed on hold several times in order for Price to "speak with his "attorneys." I checked with Montgomery County and Maryland Bar Associations and these "attorneys" are not members. Price reported that a certified letter had been sent to my son at my address. No such letter ever received. After several calls, an "attorney" told me I was on tape saying I would make a payment. I told him if he had made a tape, the use of the tape was not disclosed and IF I was taped, it was illegal. This individual started shouting and hung up. I later spoke with Price and told him IF my son allegedly owes this debt, I need identification from the company and at the least an e-mail with an attachment on official letterhead and explanation of the debt. Of course, I was told the only way I could obtain any paperwork was to first make a payment on the debt. I am so glad I found this web site.
July 2008 Litigation Consulting Services is attempting to collect a debt that I am currently paying with another agency. I asked them to validate the debt; they refused saying they are not a collection agency they are a litigation service. I have a debt validation from the other company. The company I'm paying contacted Litigation Consulting Services and got the same bogus runaround as I did. They have refused to give their mailing address (said they can't because they do all kinds of fraud work and get a lot of bomb threats), refused to give the fax number. I would like to send them a cease and desist letter (just to cover myself) but I can't find them on the web anywhere. They also threatened me with arrest, jail, lawsuits. They are saying they are investigators. If you have any mailing information, please post it.
July 2008 This alleged company called our home stating if we did not give them credit card information to clear an old debt for "theft of goods and services" through Household Renaissance a sheriff would be at our home within 48 hrs to arrest me. I told them I do not have nor had a debt with that company. I asked for their company address and fax number I was cussed at and hung up on. A Dennis Bell represented himself as an attorney and Tonya Harris and Daniel Bowen were special investigators. I asked for Bowen's state and bar number and of course neither was given. These people need to be caught and put in jail!
June 2008 This company called me at my mothers house asking for me by my maiden name and left a message on my mothers machine basically saying that there was a summons for my arrest with a case number and everything!!! the lady who called her name was "Laura James" identified herself at Sergeant!!! I could not believe it so I called right away thinking that I was going to be going to court for something but I didn't know what yet......they basically told me that I owed a company called First North American National Bank some $1600 but that the original debt was for $691 and they would take that today but that they had to approve it through the attorney there at the office so they put me on hold. I waited and waited thinking that I would ask for proof of this debt and if it was VALID I WOULD pay it and get it out of my life but I don't remember it so I was highly positive that it would not be proven and once I asked for proof a lady named karen dimartino told me she did not have to prove anything to me and that a sheriff was going to be picking me up at my work!!!!! I was scared so I called my attorney and they said not to worry but if they called me back he would call them back and we would counter sue ANY claim they had and promised me that we WOULD win FOR SURE so I was not worried any more. The more I look into this company I think God I did not give them any information about my checking account or SS# because it most def seems like BS!!! Don't trust them if they call you!!!
May
2008 Got one of these
messages (at work no less) and it made me laugh so hard I
almost peed. Forget the fact that they were harassing me
about a bill I paid 10 years ago, someone should really tell
these jerks that if they're going to impersonate law
enforcement (a crime by the way) they should at least know
what the law is. If you get one of these calls there are
several tips that these calls are fraudulent:
1) Anyone with your full name and phone number can find your
address (it's the Internet Age) Thus, they don't need to
call you to let you know you're being served (and logic
dictates that a Process Server wouldn't be very good at
his/her job if they went around giving "head start" phone
calls to everyone they had to serve).
2) It's the 21 century...there's no such thing as Debtor's
Prison anymore Debt collection is a civil court matter and
carries no jail time (think OJ Simpson...was found
responsible for his wife's death in civil court and ordered
to pay restitution to her family). Also, there's no such
thing as a "felony" in civil court (the person who called me
said I could be "charged with a felony in civil court and
serve 1-3 years in prison").
3) Impersonating (or suggesting you are) law enforcement is
illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. And
thanks to 9-11, it's now illegal under the Patriot Act. Call
the FBI!
4) No reputable collection agency would ever risk calling
you at work, or contacting your family (both of which, under
some circumstances, are also illegal under FDCPA) to collect
a debt.
If they call you contact the Attorney General offices of
your state, Maryland & Ohio report Litigation Consulting
Services (or whatever their name is). I personally received
a email from the FBI shortly after filing a complaint on
their web site (the LCS representative I spoke with
identified himself as "Lead Detective Jack DuPree").
Without a doubt the worst thing about this scam is having to
explain the situation to family and friends who may have
also received a call. Point them to this web site or
ripoffreport.com (do a search on "Litigation Consulting" to
see all the posts) and let them know if they receive any
more calls to inform the party that a complaint has been
filed and not to call again (they usually don't). If that
doesn't work hire an attorney (a quick web search revealed a
few lawyers interested in go after this company pro bono).
March
2008 I have just been
scammed by this company. Luckily, after they strong armed me
into giving them my financial information I did an internet
search on them and discovered they are rip off artists. I
immediately closed my bank account. Just wanted to give you
a heads up they are working under the following names
and numbers.
Donald Clyde & Stephanie Morrison: 240-483-4601 Daniel
Hoffman: 240-696-1715
They also sent me an email 'confirming' that my debt would
be liquidated upon my payment. The email came from a company
called MoreStar Consultants, LLC. (from Ohio). Hope
this will help some people.
