323-704-4565 - Has anyone heard about Hudson Law Firm?

The reason I ask it they called my cell and my work today. A heavily accented man named "Calvin" said that I need to call back regarding a law suit. He said not to ignore his call as I would be "in very big trouble" if I do not call back.

I do have unpaid payday loans from United Cash, Ameriloan and OneClickCash. They will not give me a physical address to send payments to, and therefore I have been ignoring their calls.

i never heard of them but found their site on google.
hudsonfirm . com

who did they say they were collecting for?

Different telephone number, must be spoofing caller ID.

They have called 4 times today, 2 at work. Messages give the last 4 of ss# and say they are investigating a lawsuit. they say I must return the call or "be in big damn trouble". What should I do?

They actually said that? "damn trouble". What is that? Like they are going to wonder over from their playground and arrest you?

Not going to happen. Debt is a civil matter and not criminal. They can not do anything to you except take you to a civil court and then only if they are legal.

What state are you in?

Im in Oregon. They did not say who they were collecting for. I didn't call them back.

Good and don't call them back.

Without them giving a written validation of the debt they got nothing.

If it were a legit law firm they would be aware of the FDCPA which states that 5 days after the first initial contact they are obligated by law to send the debtor a dunning letter via USPS. Therefore, I would venture to say this isn't a legit law firm, nohiogirl gave you the right advice, don't return their call. You would just be adding fuel to the fire if you did.

All good advice here :wink:

Even after repeatedly requesting written information, no one ever sends anything.

Mike McCoy from the Oregon Dept of Finance stated that I should not pay them anything. I will pay them the rest of what I owe when they give me an address and validation of debt.

Do they really have a lawsuit do you think?

I looked up the phone number (323-704-4565) and nothing comes up.

Folks are threatened with law suits all the time from these types of goons. If it were an legit law suit you would have been summons by now. Their refusal to provide debt validation is clearly a red flag.

I wouldnt loose sleep over these folks :wink:

Not only am I losing sleep, I'm ready to throw in the towel.?? They are never going to go away.?? They saw awful things and call 5-6 times a day, even at work after my supervisor told them to never call again.

I also just got a call from a heavily accented man claiming to be David Slater from Hudson Law Firm. He asked for my husband claiming to be very important. I think this is a hoax and am not calling back!

Call back and ask for Richard Headly, and tell them that if he doesn't call you back he will be downloaded and in big trouble. LOL

Turn the tables on them. LOL :lol:

same here! had a payday loan over year and a half ago, didn't go through the first time they tried the etf, but i did pay it off. out of the blue yesterday at work got a call from heavliy accent man, like from India, gave me my last four ss# and wanted me to verify. i wouldn't. said i was being cahrged with 3 countes of money fraud or something, wanted me to admit i had been charged with money fraud before and had the mean streak going to. i wouldn't let it go, wanted to know who the heck they were and who they were collecting from. they told me quick cash and told me i did a loan on a certain date in 2008 and even had my routing number and checking account number. lucky for me i closed that account a year ago. i wanted more info so they gave me a number for the supposed loan place, they didn't give a company name when i called, i had to ask if they were quick cash, this guy was also from india, i asked to speak with someone who could clearly speak english so i could understand, got transferred and transferred, they another man with accent ( same) got on and low and behold, all he had was the basic info like my name and date of a loan, but no reference number or anything, he told me to call the hudson law firm back because ALL my information had been forwarded to them, and when i pressed on he said " if you do pursue this will legal counsel i do wish you wll", then hung up. i was never given a number or add for this Hudson law firm, and work had no caller id. FISHY FISHY who can we call about thsi????

Report them to your Attorney General and Federal Trade Comission ASAP! It is a major SCAM, ignore the calls :wink:

I received a phone call from Mr. David Slater also. Telephone # 213-784-4847 claiming to be from Hudson Law Firm in Los Angeles. Saying there is a law suit against me for a loan I obtained from cashnet.com I have never gotten any loan from these people. I asked him to give me a telephone number to that company, and he could not provide it. I also asked him the date I obtained this loan, he says 11-24-08. I didnt have an account with my bank until December of 2008. So, he says I need to do further investigation and if I do not contact you again then it was a mistake on our part. I shut him up fast! Had'nt called back since.

A man with a very heavy Indian (who calls himself Jack Roberts, Steve Brown and Adam Smith) has been calling my home, my job and even called a friend. He states that he is collecting on a loan from my bank and makes threats of suits and jail time. I never took out a loan from my bank and the bank, of course, never heard of this company. It is frightening that these people have your personal information!

Same story .. a guy from India today, 8/18/09. He tried to use intimitation tactics to get some money transferred to him today.
Implied court date etc. and verified social security #.

I have gotten these calls. I have ignored them, and they went away.

same story someone named "neil johnson" calling from a 213-784-2070 number keeps calling me saying the same thing about a loan in november of 2008. could not give me any info. i asked for the number for the company that i supposedly received the loan from and i was told that they do not want to deal with me thats why they are calling. i think its a big scam.

I've gotten calls from this firm as well. Also a heavily accented man of Middle Eastern decent claiming his name is "Kevin Jones". He called my place of business, my family, and has been leaving threatening messages on my voice mail. The number he called from was 213-784-2070.

I applied for a few Payday loans in desperation early this year. Most only approved me for very small amounts which would not have helped me, so I never followed through with any of them.

Months later, I had fraudulent charges to my checking account, none of which I had authorized. The charges amounted to nearly $300. I had to freeze my bank account and have everything switched over to a new one, I had to fight my bank for my money returned, it was a mess. All charges were from a payday loan site, and every phone number attached to the charges was a fake.

This Mr.Jones claimed that the co he's representing paid me on a loan, put money INTO my account, and that I owe them something. I proceeded to tell him to never call me, my family or my job again.

If this continues I'm seeking legal assistance, it's just ridiculous. People turn to these companies in desperate times for help as a last resort, and all they end up doing is robbing said people blind and harassing them.

Shameful.

I received 1 call on 9/8/09 and two calls on 9/09/09 from someone claiming to be Neil Johnson. He was clearly of Asian decent (India) and was telling me I owed a cash advance
company money. I did take out a payday advance back in Feb of this year but paid if off by the next payday. This clearly is a scam and I'm a little scared about it. I repeatedly ask this man for a telephone number but he kept hanging up on me. What should I do? I know I don't anyone any money.

do not talk to him again.it is a scam in INDIA that gets information from pdl's.you owe nothing,and gain nothing by talking to him.hang up if he calls again.do it without a word.he'll get tired hearing the hangup and will move on.

same here who can we call i have try ed to call federal trade communication i get automated voice prompts to find out what they ca do for me these guys wont leave me alone i had a call with a man adresed himself as jack Roberts and d he was very rude saying have took online loans out he called me last month and this month now i don't know what to do in this situation i am tired of fake people harassing us we didn't do nothing to them this law firm is fake THERE IS NOT HUDSON LAW FIRM

Quote:

Hudson law has not contacted me but has several items listed in my credit report that i knew nothing about and was also under the age of 18 according to the dates of charges. I have no idea what to do to get it taken care of

Indian accented man and/or His wife called 14 times in an hour. Said they were representing Hudson Law firm. Phone # 2132325938. Collecting a debt on Cash back payday loans. I had several once, paid them all off. These people do not have a legitimate claim. I pressed for info and told them to contact my lawyer. I was threatened with jail charges. This has happened to me 3-4 times over the past 3 years. All from accented people with Different Law? practices. BMG, PMG, All are Bogus, they all have the same M.O. Tell them to contact your attorney. Ask for written documentation. They don't have any as would a legitmate Law firm who can not by law threaten you.

Do not give any account information to these people!!!!

Same here. They have called my work and my cell phone. They said I applied for a loan and received it and never paid it back. They gave me am email address. I tell you what. I have obviously become way too trusting when it comes to the internet and will reevaluate the information I allow to go over the interent. I applied for loans but never went thru with them. Now some maniac has my email, my cell phone, my work number. Very scary. I am reporting them right now.

They also called me today. They also informed me that i am being charged for bank fraud. I had to appear to the us supreme court next tuesday. i called up my brother who lives in LA about this. According to him he never received a letter from this law firm and also to the cash advance company. at the same time he never recieved a subpoena. they were telling me I had to pay a fine of $5,400 for not paying a loan that does not exist. They informed me that they also would blacklist my social security number if this loan is not paid.

What scared me is that they know my SS #. This guy on the phone mentioned my ss # and I never confirmed it. That's what scared me so I signed up right away with lifelock. To hell this people. I hope somebody would press charges on them so that they could all go to jail for fraud.

I just received about a dozen calls from these people the past couple days with what I would like to believe is a scripted "collection" attempt by a heavily accented guy claiming to be "Tom Sanders". He left this cryptic message telling me that I would be "in big trouble" if I didn't call them back. So, now...this company just looks like a bunch of jokers. To anyone else receiving calls from these people: Tell them what I told them...that you took their number down and that you are going to call your phone company and the police to file complaints of harassment. The message above is correct; unless they have legal proof or written documentation which they have corresponded to you, they can't do anything. They literally can only send you court documents with a valid court date.

same thing here buddy, I don't recall of any unpaid payday company. and I got a call from a George Weasley saying he is representing a law firm of Sheryl Davis. I got a hold of Ms. Davis and asked if this person worked there and no,they don't exist.

I believe there is a scam of some sort going on.there is a big ring of scamming going on. they have to present to you legal documents in order to believe.

Please go to yahoo.com and search "Scam Hudson Law firm". you may be surprised at what they turn up! They have been harrassing me and I could tell right away it was a scam. but I played along and got all their personal information. None of it matches up to anything and I have reported them. I was advised to contact the local FBI. Do a google search of FBI and your zip code. File a report with whatever information you have gotten from them and they will take care of it. Good luck and I have found that if you tell them you know it is a scam and let them know you are reporting them, the calls will stop. FYI: You will want to call all 3 credit agencies and let them know this has happened because these people have your name DOB, SS# and address. They basically have stolen your identity and who knows what they will do with it??? Contacting your local police and filing a claim will protect you from being responsible for anything they do to your credit, etc. And let your bank know, because we know they have your account information, too! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you are not the only one! Here is all their contact information I have obtained:
I have been getting calls from 2 different companies suddenly with the same thing. They all are Indian sounding with American names. threatened to file charges. I told them that was fine as I didnt owe and he said if I paid $100 to stop the filing, he would give it back in 3 mos. I got all the info I could and have reported them to the local FBI and BBB. I will provide all info here, too. names are: Hardy Henderson, Kevin Jackson, Ken Johnson, and Jack watson. Sd they were from State Dept of Fed Banking Fed and Hudson Law but email they gave was [email]Cashadvance@tx.usa.com[/email]. and [email]attorneyusa@directlawyer.com[/email] (like that makes it convincing they are lawyers! hahaha) fax #: 206-339-1915. phone #s are: 573-340-5381, 810-676-0743, 916-395-0000, and 281-661-4005. They have done everything to try and convince me, but it is just a joke. Their address is 5015 Rusk St, Houston, TX. They question my criminal history (which I dont have) and will say anything to get you to give them money. When I told them they needed to send it to me in the mail if they trully wanted to serve me, they said that was fine and didnt hear back except phone calls. they call my work, my cell 7 times in 8 minutes. I spent an hr on the phone with them at lunch today, just to have them call me back 2 hrs later like we never talked! report them to your local FBI agency.

Guys, this http://www.hudsonfirm.com/index.php

is not the scum who call you - they're a bunch of crooks and bottom feeders from who knows where - ignore, and report to whomever you can!

I also got a call from these people and the guy sounded like he was from India.

i got a call today from area code 425 (the caller id said washington). i man with a heavily accented voice said he represented the hudson saw firm, and my social security number was under federal investigation. i called the number they gave me (425-998-0744), and they only answered with "how may i help you?". i asked who this was, and they only said "call back in a little while" and hung up. i called right back, and was told to call in 15 minutes, and they hung up again. i saved the phone message. i'm pretty sure i've heard that under the fair credit collection act, we can not only make these guys go away, but we can get a bunch of money for damages out of them, too. i hope it's true. i'm sure going to find out.

FDCPA violations are only up to $1000 per action. See if they're reporting to your credit report and reporting accurately. FCRA violations on the other hand, add up quick.

This law firm called me as well. A man with an accent named "Shane" (the first time he called, his name was Sean) said that legal action is being taken against my name and social security number. They had ALL of my information except my date of birth and driver's license number. After debating with the man for about 10 minutes, he finally gave me the name of a website that I "supposedly" owed $175 to for a loan application fee. I have had payday loans before, and there has never been a fee to apply. Anyway, I looked up the website, and it IS a legitimate site. However, when I called them to validate the debt, they assured me that I did not owe them any money as I had not recieved a loan from them. They also informed me that there is a large-scale scam operation going on with their company, as well as other payday loan companies. The operation is being run "overseas" by people with heavy foreign accents. This website HAS taken steps to report the fraud, and they encourage anyone to report cases of harrassing calls by people of suspicion to their company. They said that they can do nothing to stop the harrassing calls. The company sent me an email, and I was told that the best thing to do is report the calls to the police, and change your phone number. Unfortunatly, I have to close my bank account as well and re-open a new one, as they have my account information somehow. So, IF someone with an accent calls you from "Hudson Lawfirm", and they are requesting money and can not provide information for you to validate the debt, IT IS A SCAM! Do NOT give out ANY personal information! I hope this helps!

They just called me this morning & they knew my social security number. That's what scares me. I did have a title loan last year, but paid it back before it even started adding interest. i don't like these guys have my social. I'm shaking - could this be some kind of identity theft or are they just trying to scam money?

I received back to back voicemails that were very unprofessional from a Shane Watson calling me from 206 312 5651. The guy had the last 4 digits of my social and some other information. He claimed money went into my account and that I owe over $2,000. I told him I did not get any advance money and that he needed to explain to me where this was coming from. He kept telling me to have a lawyer to call and God Help Me and Good Luck. He was very unprofessional and hung up on me. I attempted to call him back and he kept hanging up on me. I then looked up the Law firm he claimed he was with which was Hudson Law Firm and found that I was not the only one going through this. I decided to call him back. He now answered by Jack and asked for my acct or ref #. I told him I was never given a ref #, so he asked me for the phone #. I asked him if I was speaking with Shane and he said no and I told him that he sounded just like Shane but he said that he was Jack. I then proceeded to run down all the names that I found on this website and asked him if he was also them. I told him that I knew it was a scam and that I was recording the phone conversation and reporting him to the police and FBI. He then proceeded to curse at me and said that he didn't care and for me to f*** off. I told him that he was soooo professional and that he was going to be investigated and to have a nice day (all in a mocking childish voice) and then it was my turn to hang up on him. I then contacted my local police department and told them. They are forwarding the information to a detective. I am very upset and bothered about this. Especially that the web site I was attempting to get info on a loan was the one Montel Williams advertises. Good luck to everyone who is also going through this and stay positive. The officer advised me not to call the number back anymore and to check my credit report and apply to get the one that gives you notifications on my credit because they might try to open accounts with my info. He also said I might not get any more calls being that I called them out on the scam.

phone number 206-312-5651 checking for scam

Read through this thread and do a Google search of the number and you'll see that it is a huge scam.

They called me today and said I owed an amount of money and if I didn't pay they were going to take me to court.
They had all my information so now I have to close out all of my accounts. The phone number that they used for me was 253-243-2724.

I just received a phone call from a Jack Brown from Hudson Law Firm. I gave him my attorneys name and number to call. He never called my attorney. If it was legitimate he would have called.

Well my husband just received a call from a heavy accented guy who would not speak to me because I was asking a lot of questions.He said he was from Hudson Law Firm and that my husband would be arrested if he didnt pay this money he claimed he owed. I asked him well whats the name of the company, he said he could not give me that information. But scared because he has all my husband's info..Told me I had an hour to call him back or he's filling out the paper work...#hatescams

this is the number 661-368-5702,name chris somethin

there are thousands of such call centers in Pakistan who work under the name of such law firms. i must tell you that these are all fake. they don't even know the amount that you took as loan. they just tell you 65% of your salary. and the amount that you pay them does not go to the bank. they do not have any connections with the payday loan suppliers. and all the info including your social security number is provided to them by the officers who are working in the payday companies for $1 per client.
I will be providing you with many such information later. but for the time the only way to escape from them is to shout at them when they call you : "I KNOW ABOUT THIS SCAM" . and they will stop calling you. Believe me they are total fake.
