All--thank you. This firm has yet to call back, but I am sure they will. I am going to send a DV letter. I need clarification on the origin of this debt before I can justify forking over money to anyone.

If I have a true debt, I will pay it. But I want to see the source of the debt.

It's not a matter of not having the money. As I said, I gladly set up plans with another CA for a PDL issue. But these folks appear to be unwilling to work with customers on anything.

I refuse to be called at work and be made to feel like a criminal.

I, too was on the phone with a John Lewis of H&P Capital who was extremely rude to me on the phone. He claimed that I owed $1500 to (3) pay pal companies and if I didn't pay today that they would bring charges against me. I asked for his title, his boss, etc. and he laughed at me and told me to try again. I asked how I would go about paying this money if I could get it today. He told me to get the money and call him back. What is this all about? Is this a legitimate company? Who are they? He would not give me any information (i.e., who I owe, how much I owe, etc.) regarding these monies. HELP!!!! I lost my job (after 11 years) last month and am trying to make ends meet. When I told him this, he asked me if I was going to blame the government for me not having a job?

I had been having problems with this company. They were calling and harassing me at work and threatening to have me put in jail. I finally contacted a consumer lawyer and he is now filing paperwork in my county to sue this company. If enough people do the same thing they will go out of business real quick.

Unfortunately, Paul, they may be licensed; however, people have to check with whatever their particular state organization is that licenses CA's. In Florida, it's the Office of Financial Regulation.

I have checked, and they are currently licensed as a CA in Florida. It went into effect 12/5/2008 and expires 12/31/2009. Again, this is only for them to operate as a CA in Florida.

You should check with your own state agency to verify if they are licensed or not in your particular state. If not, then they are violating the law and you need to report them in your state.

If, however, they are violating the FDCPA, you need to report them to your state's Attorney General's office, the Florida Attorney General's office, and the Federal Trade Commission.

And it's PAINFULLY obvious, they are still violating the FDCPA. They must still be trying to "weed out" those bad employees we heard about in an earlier post.

they are licensed in FL?okay then,i just know they are not licensed in IL.i wonder how many states they actually have license in?things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Enter Your Samebox Message:

I wonder if they have made any calls to IL?

Might be worth having anyone from IL that has been called by H&P Capital contact the IL State Attorney?

I've gotta' come up with a sarcastic name for H&P Capital! Il-Legal Mediation Mal-Practice was just about too easy compared to thinking up something for H&P!!!

I received a call from a Mr. White who then put a Tim Hoffman at ext 242 on also threatening saying I have to pay in full. Should I pay or ignore. I cannot find the contract I had with Check Smart.

I received a call today from a Ms. Gatlin. She was very rude and said I owed $614.00 and their office would need it today in two hours. I said I never heard of such a thing. She had also left me a message to call and at the end she said Good Luck. What is that all about. Then she fast talked me and stated she could tell in my voice I was not cooperating and would suggest to her client I did not want to pay. She then transferred me to a Mr. Johnson who also fasted talked me and tried also to intimidate me and stated I needed to borrow the money from friends and family. I said I would take care of it tomorrow but did not know what else to say. But all the while asking who are you and what does this company do. No one ever answered that. Just stated this account was in a legal status and needed the money today. I tried calling the AG office of Illinois to see who these were. I did call back and this Marcus person was rude because I asked if they formerly another company. He was very rude and spelled out his name when I asked again. Then I received a phone call from a Tim Hoffman wanting to know what was I asking questions for. And I said I was just curious. So I don't think I will be sending any money to this organization. I was with this PDL company but they took all my money as well. So can some one tell me the address of this H and P Capital? I need to write to them to stop calling my job.

Thanks

I'm glad I looked this people up on the internet. They keep harrassing my relatives and they keep telling them that I've got to call. The website was trying to rip me off anyway with a bunch of B.S. in regards to constant renewing of the loan without stopping it and trying to keep it rolling over & over! So, their trying to make me pay a lot of extra interest when they've taken more than double from me than the loan was worth. I'm going to let them know that I'm going to fill a complaint like all of you guys have suggested!!!!!!!!
