My father in law who is elderly is getting daily calls from a phone number that I Was able to trace back to Sherman Acquistions out of Stockton or Modesto California. They are mean, nasty and even cursed at him telling him to stop lying we know its you faec up you this debt to CApital One. They are looking for someone named (not real name) James Charles Smith my father in law is Mark Charles Smith. The only common thing is they have the Same middle name and last name, our last name is not common the middle name is not common and we are I assume in the same state and they are NOT a member of our family either close or edxtended. These people they continually harass and we dont know where to go how to stop the calls, call block doesnt work they just call from a different extension.

Can someone guide me where to go, what to say etc. to stop the calls he doesnt need this stuff at his age. He has never owned credit cards he thinks they are evil spawn, all his cars were bought in cash, he lives in a nice retirement home so obviously they are after someone else he is 70 and whoever they are looking for they even revealed is 43 yrs old, I cant see how they cant tell he is elderly by how he talks. They are horrible totally I told them to jump off a bridge in not nice terms and they called back and called me the b word and I slammed the phone down. Please help me make it stop.

Thank You,

Christine

Christine,

Go to FTC.gov to file a complaint on each violation separately, as enforcement by the FTC against collectors is brought by the number of complaints, and NOT on an individual basis.

Also while on the FTC site read and print the FDCPA and the FCRA. They are fairly short. The FDCPA specifically forbids this activity and you are entitled to $1000 plus costs per occurence.

Send a CEASE COMMUNICATIONS request by certified mail, return reciept requested. Be sure to put the certified# on the letter itself, and keep a copy for your records.

Bud Says

All of these bottom-feeders started from the same mold, Sherman/Alegis out of Houston was originally started by Frank S. Russo, Tony M. Ettinger, Thomas E. Upton, Samuel Bergman and Richard Dunn all of Houston, Texas. They purchased old debts for pennies, and then set up collection agencies to collect on them at inflated prices.

As with most bottom-feeders, they have had to resort to placing all accounts on consumer credit reports, inflate the balances and demand settlements. Alegis became Sherman, which became LVNV and now Resurgent and Ventus are all in the bottom-feeder business. They do file lawsuits, most with bogus affidavits and pleadings. They use under-educated employees such as Allison Moon B. Moon of Greenville, SC to sign affidavits where she lies about the authenticity of accounts (see Allison Moon is a Liar' below) in their attempts to give credibility to their bogus pleadings.

Allison she makes statements that are known to be false. Her swearing is nothing more than hearsay and an attempt to defraud consumers out of monies they may not legally owe, not to mention the fraud she and her organizations bring into the courts. Consumers dealing with these bogus filings and affidavits are urged to challenge their validity in order to avoid becoming another victim to their scam and being ripped off.

You are further urged to go after these bottom-feeders for the lies they place on your credit reports. Under provisions of the federal law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) any item placed upon your credit bureau reports MUST be accurate.' In my experience, I doubt anything placed by a bottom-feeder could ever meet the legitimacy of that test. Consumers are urged to dispute any LVNV, Sherman, Alegis, Resurgent, Ventus account with the credit bureaus and make demand upon the organizations and their owners to abide by the law. They receive a fat check to lie about things that cause you misery, higher interest rates, credit denials and in most cases, don't have the required documentation that would meet the definition of accurate.'

All of these owners, board members, attorneys and employees can and should be held strictly responsible when that information does NOT meet the legal definition, as stated by law.

The reason the Allison is getting away with this is because no one is going after her. That can easily change if enough consumers decide they are fed up at being taken advantage of and strike back at these bogus filings, pleadings and credit bureau placements. There are consumer law professionals at NACA who may be able to assist you if your rights are being violated, go to: www.naca.net tell them Bud Hibbs sent you.

The bottom-feeders who prey on unsuspecting consumers are some of the most disgusting liars, con men and thieves you will ever come across. They care nothing about you and the misery they rain down, all they care about is putting your money in their pockets. We need to heed the lessons of ENRON and make sure that Allison is held accountable when she breaks the law.

I hope this helps.
