This company did not contact me directly. They instead contacted my sister's in laws in Nebraska. I live in Wisconsin. They then contacted my sister, then my mother. They claimed that within the next 5 days a summons for a civil lawsuit would be at my door. They claimed that I owed nearly $5000 to Citibank from 2004. I had no credit cards in having had my identity stolen previously, I cancelled all my credit cards previous to that year. They also claimed that it must have been a valid debt because there was a payment from May. They told my mother the payment was a different amount and a different month. I was unemployed at the times they claim and made no such payment to anyone, valid or invalid debt.
I am trying to obtain a mortgage for my first home, so the threat of lawsuit terrified me. My mother paid them a "settlement" of more than $3200 on her credit card. It was an hour later than we learned they are not the lawfirm they claimed to be. They have no intent to actually sue me for anything and the debt is completely bogus.
If this company contacts you or anyone you know, please file a report with the North Tonawanda Detectives' Office. Detective Kuebler (pronounced Keebler) is persuing this to the fullest extent of his abilities. The Detectives' Office can be reached at (716) 692-4312.
Please do not feel ashamed if you were duped by these guys. They're pros at this. Only through speaking up and filing reports can these people be stopped.
