It started with 2 threatening voice messages by a Carol Benes, that identified herself as a private Investigator and called from 213-985-1843 (please note this is a CA area code. In the message I was advised to call the Auditing Department at 980-939-0922 (this is a NC area code and actually listed as a cell phone number. Anyways, I contacted the Auditing Department several times and when you first call this number a recording comes on and you are presented with a menu. Each time I called, I spoke with a different person and I do have the names of some people I spoke with. All those people were in generally very rude and expressed threats of some sort. In all fairness I want you to know that I do have a debt that goes 3 years back, and is related to a Merchant in NJ. But my story does not end here. However, I worked out a payment plan with them and was ready to submit my first payment yesterday. Since I had refused to give them my Bank Account Number and card number, I was instructed to go to Walmart and send the funds with Moneygram. And it will get even better in Part 2!

End Part 1 to be continued in Part 2


Here is part 2: I had never dealt with Moneygrams in the past. For all of you who have, you know there are 2 different forms to send money. One is for funds going to a company, the other for transfer to a private individual. I completed the one for a company, wrote on there Allied Legal Services and a females Name that had been given to me over the phone. Once I walked up to the Service Desk I was told that this form could not be processed this way and that I needed a code that is supposed to be provided by the company. Right there and then I stepped to the side and called the Auditing Department 980 ....

Spoke with a rude female and was told that I had to use the personal Moneygram form and make it out to Nichole Anderson, Cleveland, Ohio 44119. I asked why could I not transfer the funds directly to the company or their attorney. The answer: Ms. Anderson was appointed by the court to handle the funds in order to protect the attorney. Ms. Anderson would, after receiving the funds, forward them to the attorney!

Needless to say that I did not transfer the funds, even though I was threatened again with a restraining order. That's why I am on the computer now doing more research ... So any and all information, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated !!! Thank You!

I just got a call from Sharon who claimed to be a private investigator at 213-985-1843, supplied some docket numbers and threatened with a restraining order and said I had 24-48 hours to get it to my attorney to comply.

And what is even stranger?.....they left me a message yesterday, July 20, 2010, and today I get a call from an "ex-boyfriend" from some 18-19 years that I have never had contact with since then with the same information.

What is going on?

Did they tell you what it was about, and why would a collection agency place a restraining order on you, it makes no sense.

I'd tell them to send me something in writing stating what is owed and that it is in fact a legal debt before I'd send one cent to anyone. Others here might want to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this is what they have to do according to the law, to collect a debt.

I have gotten to similar calls in July. 24-48 hours, restraining order, blah blah blah. I have recieved no bill of any kind. I have no idea who these people are or what they are trying to restrain me from LOL LOL, but I am not going to give them a second thought.
