888-622-0222 - Anyone dealt with PDM?
Date: Mon, 12/10/2007 - 08:35
My question here is, I do in fact owe them the money minus the fees I paid. But I know it doesnt equal $850. If they are not willing to validate the debt then what am I supposed to do? She threatened that they would call my employer, assign my wages, get a judgement against me with the state of Ohio, etc..etc.. I dont want my job to find out. :cry:
Aminah, Is this for illegal PDls that they are trying to collect

I did borrow the money from them and I still owe the original amount to them. That I dont deny but they are charging me more than what they are owed.

She said that if I come up with $850(the original amount borrowed) for 3 IPDL's that I owe money to she will get me a PIF letter and have the fees of $450 waived. |
Which PDL's are they trying to collect for? I am in the process of pulling up some info on PDM right now.
I can tell you that if they claim to be a collection agency, they have just violated the fdcpa by calling you again....they are allowed 1 contact per day where the call originated on their end.
Well honey, dont pay back one cent more than you owe. And if you
Well honey, dont pay back one cent more than you owe. And if you can not pay it all back at one time., dont. Do not borrow to pay these back. They are illegal. They can not garnish your salary. You need a court order for that. They are illegal they can not get a court order. You did revoke all wage assignments correct?

Good find Volley. If they are collecting for illegal pdl's is Aminahs salary ok. They can not garnish can they?

Well the PDL's that they are trying to collect for are: CMG, TJF, and Arrowhead. Ms. Bonnie told me that she has a claim for $480 but the original amount is $300 for Arrowhead, CMG claims $400 but the original amount is $250, and TJF claims $420 when the original amount is $300. I do not owe the whole original amount.
I just got an email from Human Resources that said: "Heads up, I just got a call from Tina from PDM to verify your employment. She said for you to call her back at 888-622-0222"

Interesting choice of words....Aminah, do as Volley says. If you can get one done today, I would fax it and on the fax cover sheet advise them that you will be sending it certified return rerceipt. And be sure you do, it saved me.
Volley, thanks for the information, I did not know about the one phone call and I have one that calls several times a day. can they keep calling if they only get voicemail?
Wow, well just be glad that you have someone on the inside, you

Re: ACCT#
To whom it may concern:
This letter is being sent to you in response to a notice sent to me dated
This is not a request for "verification" or proof of my mailing address, but a request for Validation of Debt made pursuant to the above Title and Section. I respectfully request that your offices provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you.
Please provide me with the following:
1. What the money you say I owe is for
2. Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe
3. Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe
4. Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable
5. Identify the original creditor
6. Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account
7. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state
8. Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent
At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major credit Bureaus (Equifax, Experion or TransUnion) this action might constitute fraud under both federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following:
1. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act-reporting inaccurate information
2. Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act-continuing collection activity on a debt which has not been validated
Also during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing of any information to credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is.
REQUEST FOR CEASE AND DESIST OF CONTACT BY YOUR OFFICE: I would also like to request, in writing, no further contact, either in writing or telephone be made by your office to my home or to my place of employment, unless it is to provide validation or release of liability of the debt.
Thank you,

Aminah, Go ahead and get that letter typed up and out...Once they receive the letter their collections efforts must cease according to fdcpa and they have to validate your debt. That is why I said to fax it if you can. Do not be suprised of you do not hear from them for quite awhile....

They are jerks....dont let them scare you.
OK, heres what I also did after I sent my letters.
I have caller id on my desk phone and I can easily google numbers such as 800,866 etc to see who is calling. Every pdl that called after I put them on cease and desist got an email from me everytime they called. I kept forwarding the same email string and I noted "This email is a log of all of your calls after I had served you with a cease and desist notice on DATE.This log willbe forwarded to the FTC and my AG" Also attach a soft copy of the letter you sent them. A few times of that and they stop calling.

PDM
I see that a lot of people are having problems with PDM as I have. All they are doing are threatening you. According to them, they sent papers by fax to my employer to garnish my wages because of a wage assignment for a IPDL. They have to be signed in person and witnessed to be legal and it was over the internet. They blow hot air to scare those who don't know any better into paying. If you can pay them and you rightfully owe them, then make arrg to pay them in a way you can afford that won't put a strain on your financial budget, but don't give them any checking acct or debit card info because they will process the pmt when they want for what they want and when they get your money that is a problem. These people are the lowest of them all, I talked to several people from PDM and some where saying tina Watkins was fired and she didn't talk to me even thought I know she did or that is a universal alias that they use. Don't get worried or worked up over them at all. Gotta go
