RTH Group threatening to serve. Anyone heard of them?
Date: Tue, 06/12/2012 - 13:07
First I am in California.
I received a call a couple weeks ago from an unlisted number stating "I'm calling
in regards to a formal complaint and summons faxed over to my office this morning. You have one opportunity contact the planets resolve this matter voluntarily." (my voicemail tries to transcribe the message and is downloadable).
So I called and found out their name is RTH group and they are an arbitration firm and not collectors. And they gave me info about the debt but wouldn't give me their email address or business address. They did give a fax number. I told them I needed to try to verify this by calling PaydayMax since they said that they got the debt directly from PaydayMax.
I had told them that if I can verify this is real then I would happily work with them and pay it off.
Now today, I get the following message:
"given you multiple opportunities and ample time to contact to resolve this matter Voluntarily. At this point I'll be actually attempting to serve you at your home or place of employment. If you have any questions contact appointed now. The number is1(855) 784-7428."
So we called and their "level 1" guy (as he calls himself) wont give the business address since they dont deal with customers in office, but said would have to talk to the real case manager to get this info. I want the address so I can mail the certified verification request. They said can fax it in, but I said it needs to be mailed certified and in writing.
Also, they said the only way they accept payment is through a VISA connected to an account and not a prepaid card.
Anyone ever hear or deal with them?
RTH Group
(855) 784-7428

Fax the DV to them. You want proof of the debt. Also note to them you will be filing a complaint with your state AG's office and the FTC and that their threats on the recording will be made available . You refuse to make anypayment electronically will mail money orders only. (There is no law requiring you to do so.) They are still collecting a debt so they would be governed by the FDCPA.
I googled them....smells like a major scam.
They claim to be 3rd party.
When I called earlier today to ask for the address, I was told that had to call back later and talk to the case manager handling my case.
So when I did, he said that they don't send any information out to me.
I asked why and he said because we are not collecting and they didnt contact me. and claim to be a 3rd party.
What happened is that a company calls me from blocked caller id saying will serve and if want more info then to call RTH Group/RT group.
So my case manager at RTH group says that they didnt contact call me and we are the ones calling and they are just doing a courtesy to make arrangements if I want to settle outside of court!! So because of this, they are a 3rd party and they dont have to send any info or give address.
He suggested I call paydaymax and trace it back to them.
CRAZY!
Now what do I do?
I think I have the fax number, but it seems they wont even reply anyways.
it is
this is a complete bottomfeeder.paydaymax is offshore,and i have never seen any offshore piece of pdl garbage use a legit collector,or sell it to a legit collector.
This is a SCAM - reported to the State of Indiana
I received 6 restricted calls in a row beginning at 805a with about a 2 minute span between each (6 days ago, Friday before the holiday weekend) Finally this person (male) left what tried to be a very intimidating, rude message on my voice mail for someone that I don't know, nor have ever had association with. (the employee's last name was Weber).
I returned the call and spoke with the ONLY nice person there, that happened to be a woman, I explained they had the wrong number, I have been in possession of my number for over 10 years and they need to take it off their file. She said she would handle it and apologized.
Tuesday morning it began again, Monday was Labor Day. At this point I had used BlackList to hangup on any restricted, private calls. After another 6 or 7 calls I got a bit annoyed again and called. This time getting a rude male that eventually hung up on me when I repeatedly told him he had the wrong number and asked who the debt was for so I could contact them and have my number removed.
I got a vague answer of "The State of Indiana"... it is their processors calling you and we collect the debt. Since when does the state not take money themselves? So again, I asked do you know what department so I don't have to call the hundreds of state departments? He hung up. I called back AGAIN, this time mad as hell. Again same run around but I did get the extension of the person I was speaking to and his name, I told him if I receive one more call I am going to call your number non stop and I am reporting this to the attorney general's office in Indianapolis.
I called the attorney general's office and they are sending out a formal complaint form to me.
By the way, this "company" goes by the name THRT, HRT and RHT. The state said this is a scam, they do not use third parties to collect debts. Any more information anyone has needs to be posted, they are violating many laws, harassment, threatening incarceration and impersonating State Government agencies.
Just stay off the phone...reject, block and ignore their calls.
Just stay off the phone...reject, block and ignore their calls. If you must answer, try a whistle or air horn. Or simply put the phone down and sing, burp, fart.....anything to let them know you do not take them seriously.
