Hi folks -

I recently had a run-in with a collection agency. Long story short, it involved a PDL that was taken out by my now ex-wife. I told them to, more or less, take a hike. It was the typical bogus collection threats....jail, license suspension, theft of goods and services, blah blah blah (I live in NJ, where PDLs are strictly governed - and in some cases - illegal). The collector wasn't exactly enthralled with the fact that I laughed at - and hung up on -him.

The number that called me was 877-309-7224. When I tried to call the number back at a later time, all I could get from the answering system was "Segal, Ross, and Maguire" - although it could be Sieger and Roth, for all I know. I cannot find them through various google searches, nor can I locate them on the BBB website....and the phone number does not come up through google, either.

Has anyone heard of these clowns? If so, who owns them?


They are a law firm in NY.They collect for ACS and ARM,mostly.

a couple of bottomfeeders that collect for illegal pdl's.i googled and could find nothing with the number on your post.is there another number that comes up on caller id,or did they give you one?i doubt this is a real law firm.most likely a buffal chip rent-a-lawyer that can't do a thing they threaten.while we sort out the address issue.i would use the name and number you have to file a police report for the threats.then file AG,and FTC complaints.then until we can find an address.ignore them.

I couldn't find anything on them, either. Heck, I don't know if I was even spelling the name correctly or not. After telling them off on Friday, I haven't heard back from them :-). The only number that I had, was the one listed (unfortunately).

I am being threatened by that firm now. Their angle is to intimidate by saying they will charge me with check fraud. Cause I, at the bank, presented driver's license, etc. to authorize out of my checking account their withdrawals...the money wasn't there, so they say, same concept. (By that time my bank had me stuck with a negative balance that just kept increasing due to payroll loan companies (it went from negative 500 to negative 1700--I could NOT get the bank to freeze/close the account, them telling me I had to stop the companies since I authorized it, etc., and couldn't close with neg balance. I eventually paid off the bank and closed account).

So, this company says they will charge me with check fraud and that i will be liable for the 130 they tried to collect PLUS the 760 I owed. THEY also called my family and left messages on one of their answering machines.

So, re the latter...how do I stop that? I told them not to call him, but the guy wouldn't agree. As for the check fraud thing, I assume it's a ruse. I got rid of 8 payroll loan companies after having paid the initial loan... assuming this is yet another ruse?

The number that called me was 877 397 9490. The language of the message from first message I and my relative got: "this is xxx from pre-legal dept of Segal...etc.. I have been mandated re a claim being reviewed in my office...lwe are reviewing the preponderance of evidence in this claim regarding the allegations....like to get a formal statement to stave off any formal actions". (or something like that).

I wonder if it would help matters at all if I/we posted mp3s of these kinds of calls.

I also had a dealing with Sieger Ross and Aguire the address is not real and neither are they. I unfortunately let them take money out of my account before i checked them out big stupid mistake. I did research on them the adresses are bogus one is an abandoned warehouse. If anybody knows how I can get my money back please let me know. Please do not listen to anything these people say it is a scam. I have now been calling them about returning my money and that i will report them to the authories. Maybe it will work.
