has anybody heard of this company? i got a call from some lady saying that she will be showing up to my house to give me some papers she did call from a 619 area code # (which is where i live) however i tried to call the # back and i get a "this number is disconnected"
also in her v/m she says to get info to call this number 1-877-256-4508 with some case number.
i called and spoke with some guy named marshall, he said it was for some bad checks for a payday loan, then i said i cannot confirm nor deny what he is talking about and i need something in writing. he asked if an address was correct (which is my old one) and i said no, that i will be sending him a letter to confirm the debt via cert mail and to reply to a po box i will get now. i asked who the lady was and if they are sending somebody to my house, he said "i dont know, we are in new york, not CA" he couldnt even confirm if they faxed paperwork to somebody to serve me some papers. should i be worried? i dont know what to do

Don't be worried at all. That is classic illegal collector activity. For one, collectors don't serve anyone and real process servers don't call you to make an appointment. :)
You will have to give some identifying information like the last four digits of your social. Honestly it is ok to give them your address because by law they HAVE to send you a letter within five days and even if some collector showed up at your house all you have to do is tell them they are trespassing and if they don't leave, call the police...they will get a trespass warning.
Once you can get some info from them (if they even bother sending it) you can check to see if the payday loan is legal in your state and check to see if this collector is legal to collect as well.
My Sister got a call from International Asset Group saying that they were suing my sister and I, but there was still time to pay. They also said they were faxed both our SSN#s and there was a court case pending. Is this not illegeal
International Asset Group Called my sister and left a message saying that both my sister and I were being sued and that our SSN#s were faxed over to them, but we still had time to pay. They also gave a case number. In the initial call, They DID NOT identify themselves. Is this not illegal?

yes it is illegal.they won't sue as they have no license to collect.they have to scare money out of people.in fact if you remember when this idiot called then they have 30days to file suit.if they don't then you can sue them.check your state laws in regards to recording calls.that will help in suing them if it comes to that.
Thanks!
on point ivestigative services called and said that a warranty was going to be issued out for my arrest for a bad check that was given to CHECK-N-GO back in 2003 for insuffienant funds... do or can they do that

I found a street address for them that is also in Amherst.495 Commerce drive,Amherst,NY 14228.They told me the same thing twice.Since when does a process server call to make an appointment.Once you tell them to stop calling you at work,they are suppose to stop.If they don't it may be grounds for harassment. These scare tactics they are using are completely illegal.They need to be stopped.
