You have to watch these people. They tried pretty much the same tactics with me. They told me my wages were going to be garnished the next week, A process server was about to serve me-they even gave me a fake name of a process serving company, the lady on the phone said they were "reputable and nationwide". There was no such company. It's all part of the game they play. Remember, they buy debt for pennies on the dollar. I haven't heard of them suing a single person EVER. It's all talk. That's the game they play. They rent a suite in an office building, they aren't a serious player. The "Legal Administrator", Thomas Morris talks a slick game. He becomes very assertive and pushy when running the spiel about how you have to pay then and there, or else. They really push for your checking or CC info. He talks in a stern voice and a louder than normal tone, But he gets caught up easily in his stories. If you call him out on something, he'll hang up, or start stuttering. That's when it gets interesting. "We will sue you, we will win, you will pay the full amount", all in a tone of anger. I too received the same MS Word Document when I asked for Validation of the debt. A grade schooler could make the same document between cartoons. They were even bold enough to tell me that it was all they were obligated to show me when told that wasn't enough for Validation. They never did validate the debt. They operate under a number of names. All are out of the same address and use mostly the same phone numbers. Credit Recoveries, Capitol Recoveries, Bureau of Asset Management, Bureau of Debt Management, BDM Online, and a couple of others. They MAY be linked somehow to Shekinah inc, as the properties related to the MS Word document shows it originated at Shekinah. I've tried to research it, but didn't get anywhere. DON"T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY. I can't stress that enough. It's not a collection agency, or even a debt purchaser. They're a money mill, they break FDCPA to make money. I'll keep following them as they change their name, and I will always find a way to let everybody know what they are about.
