Hey everyone - Yes, I save all the messages from Nobel Recovery. Just today, I got a call again from Mr. Bowen. He got my voicemail at work. His message indicated that he specifically asked for the HR department and was transferred to me. But after speaking to the receptionist who transferred the call, she said that he was very clear and asked for my extension! Liar! I think they leave these messages saying they're "ready to proceed with the paperwork to my employer" to try to scare me. They also told me, last Thursday, that if I didn't pay up that day, they would move forward with whatever paperwork they keep talking about. How come they won't just send those darn paperwork to my employer???? Why do they keep asking me to call them, right?

Minnieme - I can't find a website for this company. They attorney I've retained also have never heard of them before. I tried finding them on the BBB, but it just gives you their business information - no website.

Has ANYONE actually been sued for fraud by this company? Or is this just their scare tactics?

It doesn't look like they have a website.

Only two people people have ever sued them for FDCPA violations, one on a list ("et al") and not sued specifically - for Noble, and 1 for Nobel.

"http://dockets.justia.com/search?query=noble+recovery"
"http://dockets.justia.com/search?query=nobel+recovery"

Neither name was found on Bud Hibb's list of bad collectors.

Their BBB report shows only 3 complaints (which they ignored) in the last 3 years.
"http://www.la.bbb.org/businessreport.aspx?companyid=100078804"

The only thing I could find on them was a few anonymous complaints posted on public forums - mainly this one. Their Business License shows them to be a new company - July 2008.

Send them a Cease & Desist letter for them to not call your employer. After you get the green card back, log any more calls and sue them for the FDCPA violation.

If you have a recording of them claiming to sue you for fraud, then *you* can sue *them* for $1,000 for the lie, a violation of the FDCPA.

ChrysHenderson - Thank you for the information. I will definitely send them the letter and look into filing a suit against them.

I too was harrass by this company. They called me this morning telling me if I don't pay $400 in half hour they are going to take legal action. I've already paid $320 on a $300 loan. They scared the heck out of me and got me all stressed out. I've hired OVLG to help me settle my debt but my first pymt isn't scheduled until the 15th so there isn't much they can do since they haven't sent out legal docs. But I feel a little bit better after reading the threads. I am in California by the way so if you have any advice please tell me.

TO CHRISTYBURKHART THANK-YOU FOR CLARIFING THAT THE NOBEL RECOVERY THEY ARE REFERING TO IS IN CA AND NOT MY COMPANY I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS LIKE THAT AND WOULD NOT HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES ACT THAT WAY THANKS AGAIN MIKE NOBLE OF NOBLE RECOVERY NOT NRS

Does anyone have the email address for the FTC, attorney general in Orego and everyone else I need to talk to about nobel recovery. I am shaking in my boots right now, them telling me they are going to get me fired, Im a career criminal, called me disgusting...HELP!!!

See my sig for the FTC.
As far as the AG, Google your state AG. Also the Bureau of Consumer Affairs.

Now yesterday at work I received a call from Nobel Recovery Services with a phone number of 866.979.5505 from a Mr Lopez ext 222 telling me I committed check fraud and fraud against a bank. I explained to him what all had happened and i would be more than willing to make payment arrangements and he put a david lerner on the phone from ext 221. who refused any payment but payment in full he told me to borrow from my family, but told him i was unable to he basically told me i was a thief and disgusting along with my family because they can not help me. I never refused payment he refused to accept it. any ideas. of course he says he will sue me i told him to bring it on.

I dealt with the same individuals a few weeks ago. I swear it was the same guy only he plugged his nose when David Lerner got on the phone. I've only had one phone call from them and it got pretty heated. I told them I had contacts that worked worked for the courts and the police dept. and that I was going to start an investigation on him and hung up. Haven't heard from him since.

good one. that is what i love about this site. the info i have gained has saved me hundreds and possibly thousands let alone my marriage. after i talked with him and the more i thought about it. he was rather pushy and rude. so i will give him that same info, since i have a cousin that works for the sherriff dept and a nephew that is a cop. I again really love this site, it was the best thing i have ever found.

They take the chance in hopes of finding people who will fall for their tactics and have no clue about their rights. I feel sorry for those individuals who become their victims. I hope all these illegal places get shut down real soon.

I am also dealing with the same issue I have a Sharon Castleberry calling me from Nobel Recovery @ 866-979-5505 x226 stating she is going to put my paperwork through. I have filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy and I was attempting to fax them a copy of my automatic stay but I think I was given the wrong fax number. Does anyone have the correct fax number to these people??? I am sick of her calling me at work and somehow she winds up calling one of my managers and then she calls my co workers extensions even after I have given her my information. This company definitely tries to use scare tactics. Please don't fall prey to them.
