JBC Legal Group mailed me a letter stating I owed 132.72 to Pizza Hut for three checks that were never paid. The letter was dated April 16, 2004. The checks were supposedly written in Sept and Nov of 1997. Now correct me if I am wrong but if this were a valid debt would it not have been turned over to the District Attorney's office as a Hot Check offense years ago? Anyway, I requested a copy of the checks. JBC claimed that they did not have copies of the checks only the routing numbers and account numbers. So I asked for the account numbers. I then called the banks and gave them the numbers. I was informed by both banks that neither of the account numbers were valid numbers. The account numbers they gave were only 7 digits and both banks use 12 to 14 digit account numbers. Both banks also searched their achives using my social security number and my date of birth and found nothing because I never had an account with one of the banks and the other bank account I had was closed a year prior to the date the check was supposedly written. Furthermore the account number was different than the one they gave me. The first rep at JBC was rude and refused to give me any information about the supposed checks and the last two gave me contradicting information and the last one asked me to hold then hung up on me. Don't let these people bully you into paying them a dime. Make sure you get all the information you can before attempting to pay them anything.

What happened to you was extortion, plain and simple. Here's how extortion is defined in legal terms: "The obtaining of property from another induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right." Contact your local police and make a criminal complaint. Since the phone was used and the call crossed state lines it will become a federal matter. Your local authorities will investigate, hopefully pulling your phone records to prove a call was received from this roach pit. Granted, it's going to boil down to your word against theirs, but now there's a complaint on record that can be accessed by law enforcement anywhere in the country. When the next few people file complaints it shouldn't be long before a federal witetap is placed on JBCs operations. Don't be embarrassed to make the criminal complaint. This is the process that will eventually shut down JBC.
