Ok so, I already posted about the mystery company that is handling my CashNet USA account. Well, they called my work, so I thought I better call back....GOOD LORD, ok so this guy tells me I owe DOUBLE what I really owe, remember I said when they call they say they are investigators and it has to do with your SS# and DL, well.....They are claiming that they can have my DL revoked it I don't pay them....Hold on it gets better, the guy puts his supervisor on the phone he tell me to go to google and type in the following:

chapter (space) XXXVI (space) title (space) 399A.

So I do, GOOD LORD again, has me read down to (H), tells me that in New Hampshire (supposedly were CashNet Usa is located) if you don't payback a PDL they can have your DL revoke.....

Are you kidding me????>>>> I was able to get this companies name, it is M. Callhoun Associates, they say they are a law firm.

So I tell the guy, ok well I need to discuss this with my Lawyer, he says, "Well if you think you can file BK you are wrong" This is fraud and you will lose your DL if you don't pay.

Please someone tell me they are breaking the law with this tactic. Please someone go to the web site and tell me what the heck that is???

Thanks Reny


hiya Reny--this is not the first time I have seen this complete load of crap....it doesnt mean anything of the sort. It pertains to BUSINESS LICENSES, not driver's licenses. In fact, keep this in mind, you have to understand that no one state has ANY jurisdiction over another state, so unless your state's laws cater to New Hampshire, even if this were referring to drivers licenses it couldnt affect you at all.

But this is a common trick with these illegal debt collectors--the entire title 399A refers to business laws, and nothing in there has anything at all to do with driver's licenses. The law they quoted you in fact is aimed at THEM and not at you--if a COMPANY engages in bad business with regards to making loans or paying loans back, THAT COMPANY can lose their New Hampshire state business licenses over it. THAT is what the law says.

As for the lawyer, what state are they in? I will check them out for you to see if they even are a law office or not. Also, what state do you live in? I have a little plan that I would like you to do about this one.....it should get them off your case permanently. Get back to me....

THANKS!!! The more I read it the more I thought it was about a business, but of course wanted to make sure. I know better from being here that this was a scare tactic, I guess I had a weak moment!!

I'm in Ohio, I'm not sure what state this company is in. I tried briefly to look them up yesterday, however my time was limited and I could not find them. The name is M. Calhoun Associates. The phone # that came up on my caller id was 1-716-957-3430 and their toll free# is 1-888-908-9559.

Reny
Thanks for all you help Reny......

OK, what you NEED to do, and do as soon as possible, is to contact your state attorney general's office, and the FTC, and file complaints against these morons immediately. You should also go to naca dot net, it is a website, and find yourself an attorney in your area....and sue them. They now owe you money because of their illegal threats. You should be able to find an attorney that will take your case on contingency, which means you wont have to pay the attorney yourself--he will take his money from the debt collector youre suing. Here's the fact, they are NOT LAWYERS. This has been linked to a debt collector by the name of:

CMG Recovery Services, LLC
481 Oliver St
North Tonawanda, NY 14120
Toll Free: 1.888.711.7577
Fax: 1.716.957.3433

Better yet, dont file any complaints yet.....instead, since youre in Ohio, record their calls....you dont need to tell them that you are doing so because Ohio is a one-party state. Record their threats, THEN go find an attorney. THEN, sue them. THEN, file complaints with the FTC and Ohio attorney general's office. These idiots will not stop calling people like this until we fight back....so go for it!

Thanks, so do you think then they are CMG??? Get this he had nerve enough to call back today and wanted to know what I found out from my Lawyer, what a MORON!!! I'm calling my lawyer in the morning. He is our BK attorney, not sure if he works on FDCPA stuff or not, but I'm going to ask. I only hope my attorney can get somewhere with them, they won't provide an address, not sure how to advise them of my BK. Thanks Reny

Check this out-- I found it on the Rip off report site about this company:

go to bud hibbs dot com ASAP - they want to hear from you
If ROR removes the link in title - just search on Bud Hibbs.

YOU CAN SUE THEM FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICE ACT. (small claims court $1000 =they pay all court fees that you have spent to file the suit)
What Bud has posted on his website about these bottomfeeders

CONSUMER ALERT:
WARNING: THIS ORGANIZATION IS A CRIMINAL SCAM! DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES, THREATS OR INTIMIDATION.

This is a criminal organization, not a law office, and they are ripping off consumers at an amazing pace. NOTHING they threaten will ever happen.

They are NOT INVESTIGATORS or LAWYERS.

They are DEBT COLLECTORS, many with Felony Convictions and Severe Drug Habits.

They are not operating out of Georgia.

They are on the run from the law and a large number of unpaid bills and judgments.

(We received this email from a former employee; we contacted the offices numerous times to verify the information prior to publication, with no one willing to discuss this matter. CMC and the related organizations did operate at one time out of Stone Mountain, GA. We have information that suggests they left GA after running up tens of thousands of dollars in defaulted judgments. The majority of the judgments resulted from civil claims by consumers who they threatened by violating both federal and state laws. They are now operating out of Buffalo, NY as a criminal debt collection office, posing as phony investigators attempting to bilk consumers out of money that they do NOT legally owe.)

The office is owned by Lamont M. Cooper, aka/Lamont Cooper, Desmond M. Cooper, (Dob: 07/16/1975 ??? FBI #870930TA4 ??? State ID#2033223T) Jahaan McDuffie and Donte Lee. All three are convicted felons and ex/current Drug dealers. They teach their employees to lie to the debtors to get paid on debts that are out of statute. They purchase debt with their drug money and add hundreds to thousands of dollars to the debt and have the debtor believe they are entitled to an out of court settlement.
Their caller id shows Atlanta, GA, they are using ???Phone Spoof' to fool the debtors. ALL CALLS GET ROUTED TO THE BUFFALO ADDRESS. There is no attorney office of Murray, Bradshaw and Associates. This agency is a complete farce. They gross at least $250,000 per month and its pure profit...everyone in the agency is related somehow so that the scam/scheme and play on.
Warn anyone contacted by them NOT to pay and NEVER give them any information on your bank or credit cards, they will steal your money!

I just got a call from these people telling me that they are investigating fraud on a woman that used my name as a reference. The woman lives in my city, but I don't know the name or that of her brother or husband. It doesn't make sense. Why would they call me for this information? If they are collectors why wouldn't they just ask for the money?
