    Keep calling me stating I owe money for a charged off credit card with **** of America. I have NEVER had an account with *** and will never as the company went to c*** after CEO ********************* passed away. They said they were going to process for legal action. I told them to go ahead since the "debt" they were claiming was older than the Statute of Limitations in my state even. They had a lot of personal info about me that I have no idea how they got, but, they are definitely NOT legitimate.

    Yesterday, 3/25/24, I received a call from a ********************* who stated she was calling on behalf of Bryan Poe & Associates regarding a payday loan for $500 that I never took out as I've never gotten a payday loan. She said the loan was from back in 2017 *** was deposited in an account based in an entirely different city but was unable to provide me with any documentation. I was then told that if this isn't paid, they would report to the credit bureau despite the statute of limitations having expired. She provided me with her phone number ************* and a number for Bryan Poe & Associates for *************. Upon researching this company, I see identical complaints.

    My mother received a call yesterday,from Bryan ********** and Associates, she asked for info on what they were calling about, the lady refused. I called them up and asked regarding the situation they were calling about, she refused cause I wouldn't give them personal information. They called again today and they gave my mom the last 4 of her SSN, so the lady gave my mom all her personal info. States this about a loan from ********************** closed 2008, they told my mom to pay so they wouldn't send it to credit bureau. They stated they'd take her to court I told my mom this is fraud, since my mom hasn't done business with this bank years before they closed. This attorney has been harassing vulnerable people for years and older citizens have been paying, not knowing this is a scam. THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED. I'M COMPLAINING TO THE GENERAL ATYORNEY AND ETHICS COMMITEE IN GEORGIA ASAP. Everyone contacted by this "attorney" should do the SAME.

    A creditor called me saying I owed a debt but could not give me any information other than this "attorney" ***** and *** associates. I called the fake attorney's office for them to inform me of a chase account that I had apparently had a debt with from a cash loan (which I have NEVER taken out in my life), but again could not give me any details on time frame and so forth - they just put me on hold forever. I called ********** who I haven't banked with for over TEN years, and they verified there was no debt collection on me. This "company" is 100% scamming people into paying FALSE debt because they have your information already (i.e social and date of birth). PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

    I received a call from this company in March 2023 claiming that I owed a debt from 2014 that I had already paid in full. The woman on the phone said that her documents showed that I received the call by accident. Today, 8 months later, the same company called me from my city's area code regarding the SAME DEBT referenced in March but the man on the phone was extremely hostile, cutting me off while I was trying to explain to him that it had already been handled, then eventually hung up on me because I couldn't "speak like a grown woman." I called the number back because I never got a straight answer from the first guy who kept interrupting me. I spoke with a second individual and was told that it was an attempt to collect a debt- I asked why I had not received anything about this "debt" in almost 9 years since I had paid it in full. I have had the same phone number and lived in the same home for 10 years and have received nothing regarding this until March and again today. She claimed that due to "backlog" from COVID, they were just now catching up to debts filed in 2020. When I told her that I had received no information about this in the 6 years from 2014-2020, she again claimed that they company had "exhausted all efforts to contact me" even though they had literally, only contacted me the one time in March and I had the call log to prove it. They could not provide any other information, including my address or my full social. Before I hung up, the woman told me that if I did not pay $700 before noon tomorrow, it would go straight to a lawsuit. I told her I would take my chances and paid them nothing.

    Today, I received a phone call from ************** and they stated that they are calling from Central Managment for Bryan Poe & Associates. They were able to confirm my last 4 digits of my social security number and an old address from over 30 years ago. I did not confirm my current address. A lady named ********************* stated that they are collecting for Chase Manhattan, which is an old name under ********** an amount of $1725.85. I told ***** that I do not owe this charge she's claiming and I denied that I even had a bank account with *****. ***** also stated that she was reporting my name to all three-credit bureau's since I refused to pay the amount today. The purpose of my compliant is this law firm is either working together with ************************* to collect funds from vulnerable people or it is the law firm itself. I googled the law firm and it is located in *******, **. Surprisingly, I am not vulnerable to scammers! They need to be stopped from committing such acts.

    My husband and I received a call about a loan, that we didnt know anything about. The loan was for $1000 and supposedly taken out in 2013. They threatened us with taking us to court and and closing our bank accounts. We told them we didnt have $1000 to give them and they said we could pay $514 and the debt would be settled. They claimed they had sent us several letters about this debt but gave us the wrong address. We agreed to pay the $514 but we paid with our credit card. After reading several posts about this being a scam, we reported them to our credit card company and they closed the card and will give us our money back. The credit card company will go after them, since this is fraud. Hope this will help someone else.

    On 8/21/23, my husband was contacted about an outstanding medical bill for $3000 from 2012. He was threatened with court action and asked that I call and figure it out as he's a truck driver and wasn't able to deal with it. I contacted the number given to me and was given a different amount owed, $1700, and was told that they would accept half that to get the debt paid. After 15 minutes of arguing about who the debt was to and why no paperwork would be sent for verification, I finally relented and made a partial payment. The receipt I received showed no information as to who the debt was being paid to and no real identifying information. Have reported the payment to my bank as potential fraud/scam.

    I was contacted by Capital *************** concerning a medical debt for my child. ******* said she was acting as a facilitator for ********************, Esq. ******* asked me to settle on a debt over *****. This debt was from an HMA. She would not send a donning letter or validation of this debt in question, citing HIPAA violations. I could only get proof of payment letter if I agreed to pay. I verified with our medical providers that they had not forwarded any such debt to them for collections. According to federal law, I have to right to verification and validation of a debt and a chance to dispute, even if its on behalf of a minor I financially responsible for. I was given less than 24 hours to call back and settle. I was also informed it could go to my credit. The calls originate from a spoofed number. The direct call number I was given goes back to the office of ******************** in *******, ** and not to any CSG agency (the facilitator). Refusal to validate any debt is illegal.
