Process Service Bureau

If you've already settled the debts with your creditor, then a collection agency cannot call your for the same debt again. You can contact your original creditor and check out the status of your account with them in order to find out whether or not they have sent your account to collections by mistake. On the other hand, you can ask the collection agency to validate the debt. If they are unable to validate the debt, then they cannot collect the dues from you. You can simply send them a cease and desist letter and ask them to stop calling you any further.

The only thing I could find that is similar I found at the BBB:

ABC Process Service Bureau, Inc.

I got the same call about money and more today what did u do???

Called both my parents today to say that I had to go to court or face a restaint order. None of which makes sense.How does someone get away with invading your privacy. I have never been contacted directly by them

Received same message. They left a phone number of 202-738-4836.
Is this a scam

I just got the same message and it is definitely a scam. There is no way that you have a court ordered legal supenea and only received a threatening phone call to show up. There would be paperwork mailed to you. This company is a joke and should be legally sought after for their violation of peoples privacy!

Bonjour, J'ai besoin de votre experience concernant de tout recents troubles visuels a chaque fois que je travaille sur mon ordinateur. Quelqu'un connaitrait-il des equipements ou des lunettes loupe de ce type pour combattre cette baisse de ma vision? Merci a ceux qui pourront m'aider

I received this phone call about a week ago, and didn't hear the message until today... Did anyone speak to an actual person?

This company is a scam. I own an agency, spotlight resolutions, and they are calling clients that are paid off or still making payments to us. if you are working with us or another legit agency they cant touch you.

These scums will threaten to arrest you, sue you, etc and its empty because scam entities cant and if they tried you should be able to get paperwork from your current servicer saying you are paying/paid as promised.

Hope that helps.

oh really?you mean how you send illegal emails telling peope of civil actions for pdl's in states that prohibit pdl's.spotlight is a bottomfeeder deluxe.chances are you gave this place info on people who are not swayed by your illegal tactics.go post how legit you are elsewhere.

Again, nothing in our email is illegal, but I am not here to debate that, especially on a debtor board on the internet where it is easy to be a tough guy.
Now to the OP, I tell my clients invest in the $10.00 voice recorder as in claims made over the phone saying you are going to jail, having your kids taken away, swearing, etc...is grounds for a claim against said mentioned company.
If you would like more information feel free to shoot us an email, we have a form at our website.
Thanks

i got call about a cerdit card my son had it was paid off and now they say he had two cards when he didnt have two cards now they want more mony what u do

Here is the message I got yesterday:

"Hi this message is for ______. This is Darlene Upton, special investigator. I'm contacting you in regards to a complaint being filed against you, pursuant to claim and affidavit number ZUN-____. You have been named a respondent in a court action and must appear. There's a contact number on file which you must call 202-738-4836. Please forward this information to your attorney, and that the order to show cause contains a restraining order. You or your attorney will have 24 to 48 hours to oppose this matter. Your claim and affidavit number once again is ZUN-____. Thank you and good luck."

These guys are scam artists. I want to call the FTC or local DA to set up a sting. I saw one on Dateline one time. These same idiots called my parents in Detroit. They left the same message, verbatim, as the one to Sub #15, except her nake was Catrina Baker. It was also the same phone number. I want to set these guys up. I'm calling the FTC, first thing Monday. The website for the FTC is http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm, and their phone number is Phone: Call our toll-free helpline: 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357);
TTY: 1-866-653-4261

They called my house today looking for my mother-in-law. I took all the information down, then came to the internet to search for answers. We live in the same state but opposite sides. Our number is unlisted, and has been registered with the DNC list, so I can not figure out how in the world they got our number and called in the first place. The woman who called us was a Kimberly Reed (special agent). She gave me a case number vsv-___. And told me to have my mother-in-law call them back within 24-48 hours or they were going to have to proceed with the case. No other information as I was not my mother-in-law. My husband called back to find out who, or where, they had gotten our phone number. The man who answered was quick to tell him that we were listed on the contact list and offer to take us off. Still not one single answer as to how they got the phone number. I have made reports to the FCC before on people who call us trying to sell us things, and have not one single problem reporting this fraud for what it seems to be!

I got the same message and they called my parents house where i have never lived. I called them and they informed in 2006 i had a credit card that i never paid. The bank tried to get there money but never got it. I know i paid this credit card off and closed the account. I asked him if i never paid the card off then why does the credit card from the bank show up on my credit report as a 0 balance, closed and paid satisfactorly, he then hung up on me.

My ex-husband got a call from them saying that I had a restraining order on me and that I needed to call them. I have no clue how they got his house number. There should be something done about them being able to do that. :-x

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A message was lefton my voicemail, by someone named Darlene Upton, as well. BUT, she said she was calling fro a lawyer's office. I agree with PAUL here..........all are scams. If the company knows it's just a scam, how can they consciously send out e-mails to people??

Once CA's have your personal information, it seems like they abuse it (obviously) or gie it to other CA's. Threats, so-calle restraining orders, etc. are illegal to put forth toward the 'consumer'.

I received this same phone call on Friday, June 3, 2011. Is there a web site for them. Are they a scam, bc i gave them my bank acct information.
Maggie

my call was from a kimberly reed, she said i had 24/48hours to return the call and to pass the info on to my lawyer or i will be sued and have a restraining order...why do u need a restraining order if u owe money and the apparent debt is from early 2007 lets wait 4 years and harass people for debts that were probably paid!!

This is a scam. Please file a complaint with your state's Department of Finance and Attorney General's Office.

My parents got a call for my brother-in-law...absolutely no relation...he doesn't even know their number...so how can he list them as someone he knows? I believe this is a big scam hitting people who may have had problems in the past... I want to report this...but don't know where to begin as the company was in Chicago and we are in a different state?

I have been contacted by them also. when you call the number it is call global arbitration. they told me they don't know how that could be and that there number is 202-738-4836. I called 409-270-9922 that's a FL number. I got an address from them 1718 main st N.W. suite 214 Washington D.C. 20036. I'm going to sent them a verification letter.I think that they are a SCAM I am trying to prove it. good luck don't give them any money!!!

I paid them in Feb.2011. I never received a letter or e-mail that they promised that says I have settled this debt. It should have been a reg flag when they said e-mail. I have been trying to prove it is a SCAM. I have been contacted by 5 different companies they all claim that they own this debt. I called the original bank and they sold it to a completely different company.I have filed a complaint with the attorney general of MA and I also filed a complaint with the F.B.I. Don't give them any money do like this site tells you and contact the original creditor. Good luck!

Hmm..sounds somewhat familiar. I had someone call me (with an #800..) and ask for someone who doesn't live here (this seems to be he millionth time this has happened!!) and I would tell the person that they have the wrong number. They hang up,..but, call back at another time. When they call back they say, "I know so-and-so lives there and you are a relative." GOD..these people need to stop!! How can I get them to stop calling my home??

I got the exact same message only they called my mothers house and told her they were an attorney's office and that it was about my husbands debt. Please consider that this cc debt incurred before I had ever even met my husband but I called them back anyway to settle the acct. They are the most uneducated bunch of morons on the planet! I like to micro manage my money and asked them if instead of paying $100 a month could I pay $25 a week? First she said yes then immediately no. When I asked why, she said because that wouldn't begin to cover the amount of the debt! Really?? Anyway they hung up on me when I started to ask questions about the name of there company and it's mailing and physical address. But even more upset when I asked her to spell it out because she was so mad at me I couldn't understand her. Then I asked for a written validation notice and she flipped out. Then I asked her what contact information she had on me so that I could be sure that she was sending the mail to the right address and calling the correct telephone numbers. Yeah that didn't go well. Right address but one telephone number I had never heard of and one telephone number was my mothers (keep in mind, this is my husbands debt and no one has ever tried to contact him??) I want them to call me! I love watching them squirm!! :D

I have been going at it with this "Process Service Bureau" for the last two weeks. Initially, they called my parents asking for me, leaving a message, threatening legal action against me unless I settled an outstanding debt with them. The debt is legitimate, however they are clearly not. They scared me into paying the debt via my fiancee's bank account (I don't have one of my own currently) but went into the account a day earlier than I gave them permission to do so, subsequently earning my fiancee an overdraft fee! Also, it was later ironic that they neither called me after their failed attempt - as any real agency would! - or even asked to speak with my fiancee in order to receive her permission to begin with - as any real agency must! I didn't get in touch with them until July 5th, when I proceeded to question them and their legitimacy. I spoke to three different people, was placed on hold at least a dozen times, and asked specifically for certain legal documentation from them before I would even agree to send them a dime. Also, unlike any other agency attempting to collect a debt - be they a debt collector or litigation firm - they never once said they were recording the call for legal purposes. They even denied that they had to! I called the FTC, my local D.A., and the police in order to cover my behind. Clearly, they are a major scam operation. My fiancee has changed her bank account info, and I have told them directly to leave me alone or else! I googled their alleged address in Washington D.C., and another local office in Maine - nothing. They can't do a thing a to you, no matter what they say. Take the proper precautions and tell them to screw. They're criminals.
