They use autodialers/predictive dialers to call cell phone numbers not provided to original creditor without prior consent. (TCPA violation $1500 per call statutory damages)

They spoof caller ID's to send unsolicited text messages to pre-paid cell phones at a cost per text pretending to be a guy named Chad asking where you are.

They call multiple time in a row in an attempt to cause the phone to ring continuously

They intentionally use voice inflection, the title of "investigator" and case #...... to convey that they are in fact law enforcement trying to locate someone that they have a case on.

They do this to elderly cancer patients with heart conditions as they did to my father.

They call many times in a row hanging up on said elderly folks with their predictive dialer calling multiple numbers and routing the calls that answer first to the case worker.

They lie about who they are, who owns them, their address and tell you they do not have a fax number.

They intentionally and willfully cause the debt to be disclosed to third parties by the nature of their intimidating calls to seniors.

They open their clients up to class action lawsuits by running their entire portfolios in this fashion.

This is what I endured at the hands of SVR Inc..

The client did not recover anything.

The client had to deal with repeated calls due to their actions.

The client wasted hours of time and had to run the entire file by it's general counsel.

The client's contact who recommended this vendor was embarrassed and forced to apologize to the debtor's 75 year old father.

This client was or still may be Ally Financial Inc.

These companies owned by John Lewis and Perla Lewis, are not operating within the law despite the perception that the owner through his blog "Masterqueue" tries to propagate.

If you assign your portfolio to this company for collections, you are doing so forewarned.

Besides failure to identify, fake spoofed caller ID's and the illegal use of predictive dialers to call cell phones and land lines, including people they know are not the debtor, they duck all responsibility for their actions. The time is coming for this company and have put three hours in so far today to make that happen. They will be held to account. Here is my story.

Abusive skip tracing/ debt
collector (Silicon Valley Recovery, Inc.) working for Ally Financial Inc.,
called my 75 year old Dad pretending to be a detective. Using voice inflection
to sound like a cop and the name investigator Brad Martini, working case number....
trying to locate. My Dad worried that the police were looking for me and
feared his grandson, whom I have sole custody over, would be orphaned as his mother
is not in the picture. He couldn't reach me. He freaked out and called my eight
brothers and sisters telling them the police were searching for me. I was
reached by my brother and called my Dad. I told him the truth. I had to explain
the details of my debt to my whole entire family because of this. I contacted
S.V.R. Inc. and told them to cease and desist at the end of the call. They then
immediately called my Dad. They thanked him for getting the message to me. Brad
Martini told my Dad " you need to convince him to be the son you raised
him to be". They tried to shame this proud parent of nine. He was upset.
They called two of my cell phones hanging up on me for several days. Then they
called my Dad 3 times in a row hanging up on him 10-22-2012 then on the third call after a
pause the call was transferred to Brad Martini. My Dad stated to him that he
was on the other line reporting them to the Attorney's General's Department of
consumer protection. He then hung up. My Dad called me very upset. He had
cancer surgery this past year and has heart issues and was forced to keep
getting up and walking all the way across the house to the only phone to answer
then being hung up on and then doing it all over again meanwhile getting all
upset. I called Silicon Valley Recovery, Inc. and they refused to give
identifying information. They hung up on me two different times. Once with Brad
and once with the office manager Katherine. I got their resident agent
information and address from the secretary of state with what the name they
reluctantly provided. I then called back and they denied the address, the name
of the resident agent and the name of the owner John Lewis. They then
transferred me to the people I owe, Ally Financial Inc.. They were nice. They
were honest. They put me in touch with the guy who runs the collections
department John Sullivan. I explained all we had been through with all the
calls and two fake texts to one of my cell phones pretending to be Chad trying
to find out where I was. He apologized and stated that sometimes the Vendors do
not operate the way they should and sometimes violate the law without knowledge
or consent of the original creditor which was Ally Financial. Basically they
hire these guys and they are acting in bad faith while violating the TCPA and
the FDCPA.  Ally Financial represented by John Sullivan immediately recognized how bad this situation is and personally called my Dad to apologize which really helped my father calm down.
Ally Financial Should not be in the business of apology calls on behalf of their vendors. These people were sued in Illinois last year for similar violations.


I have an appointment with one of the best TCPA, FDCPA attorneys on November 26th 2012.

I have notified every single regulatory agency that handles these complaints.

I will go further in lobbying my elected officials to enact legislation to provide tougher sanctions and enforcement against such practices. I used to ignore these types of calls. These guys went way over the line and then some.

Is this who you want working your portfolio????

I must THANK YOU JOHN LEWIS!! My father and I are being compelled to testify againt you ( being deposed). Jerry called to arrange for my father to fly into Birmingham and for myself to fly into Birmingham for the purpose of giving statements regarding how we were handled by your company. He is putting us up in a very nice hotel. My father's brother eill be driving up from Mobile and staying with us. We are having an all expense paid family reunion!!!! I thought we were done f****** with you but it looks like we are being compelled to do so.

 I intend to explain at this deposition how my grandfather fought in the Pacific and helped to free the Philippines. By doing so we liberated your wife's people from the Japanese. This allowed you to buy your wife from that mail order bride place for far less. See the Japanese would have charged more. You owe this family for that John.

 I let John Sullivan know he can just serve me. I don't care anymore. I made sure he has a number to call me on for his process server. You will obviously know the date of the deposition and tell him so I just went ahaead and gave up. He can sue for the deficiency balance left over after they got $7,000 back on a $39,900 balance at the auction.

 It will be easy to serve me after I am imprisoned for contempt of court. I am a contemptuous b******. I will not make false statements under oath. Nothing about the (((REDACTED))) you engage in or how Matserqueue can't help find me but an ambulance chaser from Alabama did. I certainly will not publish the transcripts on this and a few other sites. Never would I. Maybe you should have stayed retired. Your bills are cheap. Not exactly that expensive of a house given what you could have purchased. Very conservative you are. Good for you!!!

I can't wait!!! See you soon....unless you let your lawyers do everything for you!!! Maybe you could pay someone with b**** to kick my a** afterwards. God knows you couldn't. You need a computer and teephone to do your dirty work!!!

The only reason I know this is the day is cause Jerry Lorant just called and left a message to tell me that though the S.O.L. is expired on these statutes of the U.S.C. but he has several other ideas for making you pay under various state statutes!!!!

 

So instead of skip tracers hounding me , now it's trial lawyers. I liked the skip tracers better. At least they don't sound like the crypt keeper when they leave voice mails.

All Star told me they could have got that Harley from the guy's brother for $100 bucks but you wouldn't authorize the payment. The hundred bucks would have been cheaper than the resulting 15:1692 case.

 

I feel bad you have to go to court against this pit bull. If he is half as relentless going after you as he has been going after me and my father you have a real head ache.

I do not appreciate you, or the next skip tracing company you hired, texting me while I am in church. It takes me quite some time to finish confessing all of my sins. You would not want me to go to hell would you John? At least I could meet Keith Richards when I died. Just like big baller John Lewis.The phone was outside at 9:44 am Sunday morning July 21st when you, or your new skip tracers sent a bait text to my cell phone using cell stinger from skipsmasher.com or one of their competitors, I am still furious. The fact that your subordinates thought it was ok to text me at church is just not kosher. I know your ALPR equipped guys love church parking lots, but there is the chance that dam phone could have went off disturbing communion.  John Lewis uses the same tech but never on a Sunday with me. His bait text links were sent on like a Tuesday afternoon saying something about a facebook invite simply click the link. When they sent spoofed texts saying "it's Chad, and where did I park?", it was also on a weekday. It might have helped if they had used a spoofed number from a state I actually lived in. I will never click a bait text. Stop disturbing me with your weak a*s attempts to locate me. If you want me to publish your industry's tricks on a blog to help people avoid Ally Financials repo men just keep it up. You need my location why??? To serve me????  :)  Fat man can run. I had to call everyone again and put out a BOLO for calls from your new folks. Or is this John Lewis trying to find me to sue me for online defamation? Was it that thing about him buying his wife in Cebu? Whatever it is stop it with the texts/emails/calls. My Dad says hi!!! You can call him again now that he recovered from that prostate surgery by December and can get up and walk to the phone without pain like Brad Charles Sankus caused in October with the three calls in a row bull s**t. He is recovered now. Unlike the Tucker family who still suffers from "headache, upset stomach, and nervousness". Poor folks......My prayers go out for their upset stomachs. I hope you didn't mistake my ceasing and desisting of slandering and defaming your innocent twice baptised (according to public record) ginger boy.

My Dad caught a tow truck. It was Red one owned by a local tow company. He was just stopping there to do paperwork says he.

Maybe you guys were telling the truth the whole time. I don't know. My Dad almost went all George Zimmerman on him.

No more bait texts. Seriously man. What you subscribe too, I subscribe too. What you read, I read. What you watch, I watch. It's my hobby now. Lame as hell I know. But I only sleep a few hours a night and must do something. Sorry to hear about TLO.

FULL RETRACTION

#5Consumer Comment

Sun, July 07, 2013

 I sent an email to Ally Financial Inc. and John Lewis last night intending to write a full retarction this lovely sunday morning. I called my father to let him know this torment of John Lewis' companies had run it's course and we had gotten our revenge for the calls that were received in a COMPLETELY LEGAL yet annoying manner, and which were totally my fault. My father informed me he had gotten the mail, and there was a response to a no trespass letter and letter of no contact we mailed while on a trip to Huntsville to pick up my son from space camp graduation. In this letter it is made crystal clear my father has a serious trespassing problem with a local tow company un-related to Ally Financial Inc. or Silicon Valley Recovery Inc.. They both claim they did not send the vehicles my father had so many concerns over. My father will be taking care of this matter now that we have no clue who is in these trucks. I feel sorry for the driver who now gets to deal with my Dad in the middle of the night. My Dad asked if there were any other cars up for repo that he should know about, and as of now there is not, nor ever again will I put up with this much old man bitching for a stupid beat up pick up truck.

My postings were mostly false or completely fasle.

No disclosure of a debt were made. Everyone in my family was coached to give misdirecting information to anyone who may call or stop by. My in-laws, my ex and any of my freinds who may show up on public record with their name next to mine were briefed thoroughly prior to the vehicle being late even one day on payments.

My Dad did have cancer. He did get up to walk across the house multiple times in a row only to be hung up on. He did in fact give me s**t like only your old man can. The old b*****d gives me hell even when paying to take his a*s camping at Yellowstone or hiking at Rocky Mountain National Park.

I never had any intent to sue anyone over my free truck. It is a crime to make threats of suing someone if you have no intent on doing so, and I am a criminal.

ALL POSTS MAKING ALLEGATIONS OF ILLEGAL ACTS SHOULD BE IGNORED.

JOHN LEWIS AND HIS COMPANY FOLLOWED THE LAW. BRAD SANKUS WAS NOT TECHNICALLY NOTIFIED IN WRITING TO CEASE AND DESIST WHEN HE KEPT CALLING BACK AND THEREFORE BROKE NO LAW. MY FATHER HAD NOT TOLD HIM TO STOP CALLING. I HAD AN AUTODIALER USE TEXT TO SPEECH ROBOT VOICE TELL HIM A CEASE LETTER WAS ON THE WAY SOON, WHICH DOESN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT. I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. I DID PASS ON THE S**T MY DAD GAVE ME DIRECTLY TO JOHN VIA THIS WEBSITE. IT WAS UNDESERVED. IT WAS INTENTIONAL.

ANY COMPANY LOOKING AT THIS REPORT AND JUDGING JOHN LEWIS BASED ON IT SHOULD KNOW THAT I AM COMPLETELY INSANE. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT LAWS OR HAVE MORALS WHEN IT COMES TO REVENGE AND THAT'S ALL THIS WAS. JOHN JUST WORKED THE WRONG PERSON AND BRAD JUST MADE ONE TOO MANY DAYS OF REPEAT CALLS TO THE WRONG CRANKY OLD MAN WHO THEN BITCHES AT THE INSANE PERSON MAKING HIM HAVE TO TAKE ACTION TO APEASE HIM. MY FATHER READ EVERY POST. HE GOT RELIEF FROM IT. I DID AS WELL. IN THE END IT'S MY FAULT BRAD SANKUS MADE ANY CALLS TO BEGIN WITH AND I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

IN MY EXTREME AMOUNT OF RESEARCH INTO THIS MAN AND HIS BUSINESSES, I FOUND THE OPPOSITE OF MY STATEMENTS ON THIS SITE TO BE TRUE. THE GUY IS LIKE A SAINT OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, AND APPEARS TO HELP ALL PEOPLE HE DOES BUSINESS WITH OR GIVES EMPLOYMENT TO. HE IS ALSO A T.V. STAR NOW, SO ASK FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH. HE ALSO HAD A PICTURE OF HIM WITH MY TRUE PRESIDENT, KEITH RICHARDS. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN AT A WAX MUSEUM, BUT IF HE ACTUALLY DID MEET KEITH THIS IS ONE SKIP WHO IS SERIOUSLY JEALOUS. MY SIX SEATS TO SEE THEM IN MAY WERE ALL THE WAY IN THE VERY LAST ROW. IT STILL KICKED a*s AND MY SON LOVED IT. ANYONE WHO HAS MET KEITH SHOULD NOT GET BULLIED LIKE THIS.

LIKE THE BEST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD SAID, A RISING TIDE RAISES ALL SHIPS.

THIS GUY IS THAT RISING TIDE.

PLEASE DISREGARD ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS MADE BY ME IN RELATION TO JOHN LEWIS AND HIS COMPANIES.

ALL NEGATIVE CONTENT YOU MAY FIND ONLINE IS FROM ME.

I WILL TAKE DOWN WHAT I CAN. MOST SITES WILL REMOVE. NOT THIS SITE HOWEVER.

Brad Charles Sankus is the name of the skip tracer who called my father pretending to be the police. If you want to call his mother Starletta Martini at (((ROR redacted)))which is her land line to her Stockton California home, you can ask her to convince Brad to be the son she always raised him to be. That is the line he used to shame my father after being told to cease and desist and that a cease and desist was in the mail. Brad didn't listen. He doesn't care abou the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. He lives at 1200 Creekside Dr. Folsom California and works as a bar tender at BJ's brewery which is where John Lewis owner of Silicon Valley Recovery Inc. recruited him from. You see I could call his mother and be a jerk just like he did to my father. I will not do that. My beef is with him and John Lewis the guy who profited from the harassment. Brad got this company sued for doing the same thing to the Tucker Family in Alabama. This criminal activity could kill elderly people who can't fend for themselves. You guys are low lifes. Especially you Brad. John you profit from this behavior. Well you will be giving up that profit in Alabam and then MAryland. We will file directly in Federal court. Diversity Jurisdiction. You should send me half of the $400 removal fee I saved you. My Dad is coming to kick your but in court. Jerry is by far the most decent human being I have ever spoken with. He hates you to the core as do I. I loved reading the depositions. All that over a Harley? You are desperate aren't you? Brad Sankus. You belong in Folsom. Not the city either. "Brad Martini".Nice. I can skip trace also. I don't need Accurint.

Within one hour of posting about the comments on Youtube, John Lewis, "Samson", cried to Youtube.
Midnight his time. You are up all night watching your Ripoff Report ???
Oh yeah, you are married. What else are you going to do at night. I see
you watched my Easter video twice. Trying to find out where I hide the
eggs? Come a little farther east and I will show you at no cost "Samson". Is your weed really that good that they call you "Samson"
from half baked? It is legal here now as well. Personally I need every
brain cell I have and can't spare any. Not given that many to start
with. Does it piss you off that a skip is straight up calling you out
and you have no recourse? You can counter sue soon enough. That should
stop me. It's not like I am judgement proof. It's not like everything is
run through a business, SPA Trust in Wyoming, or R.I.T. out of
Delaware. No never. You should sue me for defamation, just so I can
prove my statements in a counter suit and make you pay for my attorney
fees. Which jurisdiction? Who would you sue? Any suit against you, Ally
is more than welcome to add itself as an interested third party. I told
John S. if he apologized to my Dad I would not sue his company. I will
not sue Ally. I am unable to go after you through regulatory agencies
without going after the ones who hired you. You will really hate this. I
know the SIC codes for private investigators, debt collectors and
recovery agencies. I have a 4 line autodialer in my closet. It works with Vonage voip.
I have a hosted dialer. It dials out on a sip. That's what I use for
lead generating survey calls. It can also leave messages. Hundreds per
hour. 1.5 cents per message. Have you ever heard of Info USA?
I have a
close relationship with them for data acquisition. I wonder what your
entire industry will think of my voice messages???????
Maybe you
shouldn't mislead and harass the elderly after all. Maybe when you were
told that Thursday that a cease and desist was being sent out, you
should not have called four more times including immediately after that
notification. Remember, that notification was from an autodialer with a
robot voice cursing you guys out. See John, some people do not stop. How
long until I stop. I will not unless legally obligated to do so. I am
sharing my story. The first amendment. I really enjoy CUcollector. That
April fools joke Kevin pulled was too much. I actually believed it at
first. It's ok. I spoof my IP address with a location you are already
too familiar with :)  Next time I will login from Sweden. I hear the
weather is nice there. Hey, give me credit that I have not yet posted
you and your wife's credit files online anywhere yet. I pay $4.95 per
pull on my account. Remember that I am in an Industry that finances 90%
of it's customers. I have access to the same tools you do. I spend my
nights filling out truth in lending addendums and right of recision
clauses. Not much more exciting than you stalking the Ripoffreport. I
will not post your credit file on this website as it would violate the
editors policies and be bad business. Blogspot-----------(I take it you
are familiar) Not today anyhow, I must go in this afternoon. Work stops
for no man. I will not Autodial just yet, however I will put your cell

The old gab and grab with a new twist...........

#10Consumer Comment

Thu, March 28, 2013

John,

I am guessing the reason you did not give me my weekly Wednesday call and voice mail is due to the lack of a legitimate offer for settlement near what the black book value of your collateral would be. I see you are using a modified version of the old gab and grab (which your company notoriously got sued over and is now
illegal). I can assure you I do not take as much precaution to avoid your people as you may think. I can also assure you that I would never be lulled into a false sense of security about you being the only one
working the case and how you are not looking for my vehicle. The parade of flat beds on every holiday at my father's house proves otherwise. The Chase Auto collateral was abandoned at a Walmart last year so I know it is not their repo people looking for that vehicle. They knocked on my father's door at 3:30 in the morning one night. I ran that vehicle into the ground then allowed a Russian immigrant who cleaned my house to
drive it for running errands and hitting deer. When that vehicle needed tires, brakes and other sensors and body parts, I parked it in a Walmart parking lot and had it impounded. They picked it up a month later and
paid storage and tow fees to recover a leaking beat up convertible and got seriously stuck at auction. You may call Tricia Odeon in their Florida recovery unit and ask her all about that one. I would have dropped it at a Chase location much sooner without the impounding and tow fees had her unit not upset my father. I will not be at his house Easter though I do encourage you to send that flat bed or the guy in the diesel pick up with the sneaker lift that you sent last time. He will be coming out this time to have a word with your driver about blocking his driveway and half of the street in a no trespassing neighborhood. It is posted at the entrance. I have never lived with my father at that address. I order things for him online and have them shipped to his home. If you think that gives you the right to repeatedly park in front of his home and disturb the peace with your diesels than go ahead. It's not like he is calling the police and video taping this time.

Oh there is a letter of no trespass in the mail to your resident agent in Maryland as we speak. He has sent a copy to the Frederick County Sherriff's department. If you were smart you would send a spotter to confirm that I am not there and your collateral is not there. He doesn't know what they are. Very low key compared to the giant flat bed trucks you have parked in front of his home repeatedly. I will post more location information on my Youtube channel just for you John. No more fishing phone calls please or I will disconnect that pre-paid number.

Getting a little tired of the weak attempts your people put forth in trying to trick me. Seriously,,it's been almost 4 years. I was born on a Tuesday but it wasn't last Tuesday. Easter is not even a real holiday.

It's one thing when I call you a little b***h a*s punk on your own youtube channel, however you chasing down my comments on other people in your industry's channels and marking them as spam until they get removed is a little over board.

There is this thing called the first amendment and it is a mother f***** I know.

I think they call that stalking John.

Don't you have some elderly people to scare to death?? Did you run out after calling my father 16 times or whatever it was with your fake police officers???

If you are rattled now just wait. I have every intention of continuing this in court as you suggested. I will also continue online. I will not be silenced. You f**ked with the wrong one John. You telling me what keeps you up all night and having the same political views doesn't make us even. It simply makes you smarter than 51% of Americans

I am still busy with work for the moment and have yet to allocate the correct amount of time to addressing you and your business.

Why don't you just skip me out and come and get me?? That's what you claim to be the best at??

Find John Doe

Sun, February 17, 2013

The owner takes pictures of himself in London England in front of a store named after himself,.I can't Imagine anything more lame, and I collect radioactive rocks for fun if that is any indication about my vast knowledge of lameness". John Lewis = Find John Doe Perla Lewis = Partner in crime". These people routinely through their skip tracers shine people in a false light to evoke settlement for their clients;. They pretext themselves to be the police working an active case on a desperate search for the person they are trying to locate for their clients'.

These guys have been sued previously for auto dialing an Illinois woman and her mother on their cell phones and at work for the purposes of debt collection on behalf of Wells Fargo Auto Finance and were just recently sued:. Their client paid all legal fees.. Is this the position you want to be in? John Lewis will give you those headlines that you do not want;. He will get you front page on CUCollector.com . Find John Doe is a DBA for Silicon Valley Recovery Inc.located in Eldorado Hills CA. Search Silicon Valley Recovery Inc.. He has a heck of an investment group you should research also. Strategis Early Ventures. They can make you a small fortune!!(out of your large fortune)

Silicon Valley Recovery Inc. 1162 Suncast Ln. #1000El Dorado Hills California 95762 United States of America Phone: 9167303335 Unaware that convincing someone to make good on a debt makes them a debt collector in the eyes of the U.S. District Court.

This triggers the FDCPA to apply to any activities taken by this company in regards to this account. It opens them up to liability stemming from each and every call. They use auto dialer/predictive dialers to call cell phone numbers not provided to original creditor without prior consent. (TCPA violation $1500 per call statutory damages) They spoof caller ID's to send unsolicited text messages to pre-paid cell phones at a cost per text pretending to be a guy named Chad asking where you are.

They call multiple time in a row in an attempt to cause the phone to ring continuously They intentionally use voice inflection, the title of "investigator" and case #...... to convey that they are in fact law enforcement trying to locate someone that they have a case on. They do this to elderly cancer patients with heart conditions as they did to my father. They call many times in a row hanging up on said elderly folks with their predictive dialer calling multiple numbers and routing the calls that answer first to the case worker.

They lie about who they are, who owns them, their address and tell you they do not have a fax number. They intentionally and willfully cause the debt to be disclosed to third parties by the nature of their intimidating calls to seniors. They open their clients up to class action lawsuits by running their entire portfolios in this fashion. This is what I endured at the hands of SVR Inc..

The client did not recover anything. The client had to deal with repeated calls due to their actions. The client wasted hours of time and had to run the entire file by it's general counsel. The client's contact who recommended this vendor was embarrassed and forced to apologize to the debtor's 75 year old father.

This client was or still may be Ally Financial Inc. These companies owned by John Lewis and Perla Lewis, are not operating within the law despite the perception that the owner through his blog "Masterqueue" tries to propagate. If you assign your portfolio to this company for collections, you are doing so forewarned. Besides failure to identify, fake spoofed caller ID's and the illegal use of predictive dialers to call cell phones and land lines, including people they know are not the debtor, they duck all responsibility for their actions.

The time is coming for this company and have put three hours in so far today to make that happen. They will be held to account. Here is my story. Abusive skip tracing/ debt collector (Silicon Valley Recovery, Inc.) working for Ally Financial Inc., called my 75 year old Dad pretending to be a detective.

Using voice inflection to sound like a cop and the name investigator Brad Martini, working case number.... trying to locate. My Dad worried that the police were looking for me and feared his grandson, whom I have sole custody over, would be orphaned as his mother is not in the picture. He couldn't reach me.

He freaked out and called my eight brothers and sisters telling them the police were searching for me. I was reached by my brother and called my Dad. I told him the truth. I had to explain the details of my debt to my whole entire family because of this.

I contacted S.V.R. Inc. and told them to cease and desist at the end of the call. They then immediately called my Dad.

They thanked him for getting the message to me. Brad Martini told my Dad " you need to convince him to be the son you raised him to be". They tried to shame this proud parent of nine. He was upset. That is a trigger for the FDCPA to apply as it is considered a demand for payment.

They called two of my cell phones hanging up on me for several days. Then they called my Dad 3 times in a row hanging up on him 10-22-2012 then on the third call after a pause the call was transferred to Brad Martini. My Dad stated to him that he was on the other line reporting them to the Attorney's General's Department of consumer protection. He then hung up.

My Dad called me very upset. He had cancer surgery this past year and has heart issues and was forced to keep getting up and walking all the way across the house to the only phone to answer then being hung up on and then doing it all over again meanwhile getting all upset. I called Silicon Valley Recovery, Inc. and they refused to give identifying information.

These *** hung up on me two different times. Once with Brad and once with the office manager Katherine. I got their resident agent information and address from the secretary of state with what name they reluctantly provided. I then called back and they denied the address, the name of the resident agent and the name of the owner John Lewis.

They then transferred me to the people I owe, Ally Financial Inc.. They were nice. They were honest. They put me in touch with the guy who runs the collections department John Sullivan.

I explained all that we had been through with all the calls and two fake texts to one of my cell phones pretending to be Chad trying to find out where I was. He apologized and stated that sometimes the Vendors do not operate the way they should and sometimes violate the law without knowledge or consent of the original creditor which was Ally Financial. Basically they hire these guys and they are acting in bad faith while violating the TCPA and the FDCPA. Ally Financial represented by John Sullivan immediately recognized how bad this situation is and personally called my Dad to apologize which really helped my father calm down.

Ally Financial Should not be in the business of apology calls on behalf of their vendors. These people were sued in Illinois last year for similar violations,.

John has recently posted my real name to an anonymous post online about his company. This is yet one more lawsuit I will be filling against his company. What kind posts a debtors personal identifying information including the amount of the debt and who it's owed to on RipOffReport.com. I was in Orange County Florida when it happened. So we have 1 case in Denver County Colorado.We have one case in Orange County Florida. Our two Cases in Maryland include a $250,000 claim for false light invasion of privacy and $250,000 intentional infliction of emotional distress. The thing about this guy is that he just doesn't get it.

He is not only bullying me to keep me quiet on the Internet, he is also posting my personal information to get me to back off. He has no idea how bad it's going to get when I am off this most recent job I am performing. I haven't had the time to come after all his assets and insurance policies like we plan too. I unfortunately have to delay filling until right before he will be at his trade show. He will be served at N.A.R.S. summit 2013 in April. It will be video taped as he is likely to duck my process server like his company ducked identifying themselves. I would recommend using A.R.S.. They chased me across the U.S. on behalf of Chase Auto Finance and honored the cease and desist that I sent them.

They were actually very nice. John Lewis founded American Recovery Services and then sold it to P.K. Willis Inc.. I can tell you that if I were to negotiate with any of the skip tracers trying to find me, it would have been A.R.S.. I will be giving up my collateral to Ally Financial just before my lawsuit as they will be able to writ of replevin my butt when I show up for jury selection( that is how Frederick County conducts it's large tort civil actions. Summary Judgement is not a commonly granted motion in the Circuit Court. (yes- jury trial demanded by plaintiff).

In some jurisdictions they have a ready to roll jury and they just ram through as many cases in front of the same jury as possible. In Frederick County Maryland things are a bit slower paced. John Lewsi. You posted my name online with all relevant debt information. You did fore-get my social security number. I cannot wait to get the 2014 Silverado 2500HD Duramax with the proceeds from my civil actions. I will be able to get 20% better fuel economy saving me enough to fly my Dad to see us more often. It will be the gift that keeps giving. You are the man John Lewis. Victory Red will have a duplicitous meaning.

Oh, I never Called John Sullivan about you posting my real name online with the debt information. I bet you called him though didn't you! I didn't have to lift a finger!!! You are my ***. You make my calls to make you look bad for me!!! Jack ***!!! Such the typical Buffalo Grove boy aren't you????? Mazel tov!!!

This guys just posted my real name on a web page stating I allegedly owe Ally Financial Inc. $39,900. It is on the anonymas post I have here. Now everyone will know what I supposedly owe, who i supposedly owe this money, and that it is 3.5 years charged off and unpaid. Ladies and gentlemen, this guys is a train wreck who cracks under the pressure. Now I am calling Ally Financial Inc.. Do you really think they want to here from me bitching at them when I supposedly owe them the money? The law is the law. John Lewis. You are almost to much. Like a clumsy dorky kid in school who is a d**k to all yet a complete loser with no freinds, you make me feel sorry for you. I am sure you were not the dorkiest kid at Buffalo Grove. You certainly act like all the stereo typical people who live in Buffalo Grove. Yeah I lived there also. I know what people you grew up with and it certainly rubbed off on you.

You may have had Wells Fargo Auto Finance pick up your legal fees in Illinois and get you a summary judgement against those women your people stalked (and you admitted to this, it's all on Pacer) last year, however I am not suing Ally Financial. I am suing the company who's policies encourage and reward aggressive and "creative" skip tracers to push bend and break the law. You were silent on what your people did to my father. You had your chance. You picked the road you wanted to travel. Now we are on it.

It is useless for you to get on here and click "not helpful" on your six different reports. It will not work. You can't bully me. You can't bully my father as you found out. I had you call my phone just to trap your cellular phone's caller ID. I knew I had to have it when Katherine said you didn't own Silicon Valley Recovery Inc./DBA  Find John Doe. She said you were not the resident agent.

She said she never heard the name. Now you are chasing websites trying to push down the results rather than not creating an army of litigants. Twice in two years you are getting sued??? Dam!!! Discovery will be fun with you. One of my interrogatories will be for Charlize Theron's cell phone number. I bet you lost out on that film. Stick to Repos. I have a great investment for you. Are you ready? Ok here it goes....DO NOT CONVINCE ELDERLY PEOPLE THAT THE POLICE ARE ON A MANHUNT FOR THEIR KID AFTER CANCER SURGERY WHEN THEY HAVE A HEART CONDITION!!!!!!!

It will save you a bundle and it costs nothing to stop your people from engaging in False Light - Invasion of Privacy. You pretended to be 5-0 and called every number and person you could. I bet you called neighbors of mine from back in the day.People I don't know are considered "the public".The same way you did when you were at Chrysler on the last day before you asked your manager to charge off that loan for the woman who was at the hospital after just giving birth. It all comes out in discovery. God help you if you attempt to alter the notes. I have the attention span of an ADD chipmunk (and the intellect), but when I catch sh*t for something you did in October it goes right to you. Your people almost killed my Dad. F*ck you!!!

Ladies and gentleman this guy did not even say sorry. His captive lender did right away. Is that the position you want to be in someday soon, cause it's coming for anyone who deals with this man.

Dear Mr. Porter:
 
I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have brought up.  Our company does not perform illegal or questionable activity on any case we take.  We take the regulations for our industry very seriously and in many cases advocate for debtors and their rights.  With over 30 years in this industry and a spotless record, I can confidently state all of our cases are handled professionally, legally and with respect to all parties.
 
As you no doubt are aware, any case in which the debtor is avoiding his/her financial responsibilities would have been handled by many different firms, many of which do not exercise the same level of compliance or restraint as we do.  Unfortunately, I can not speak to or justify the actions of other companies that get involved.  My suggestion for anyone else in a similar situation would be to be proactive and resolve any issues with the bank upfront so the problem does not escalate to the point yours has.
 
If you feel that we have been anything less than professional, I would encourage you to pursue legal action so both parties can air their complaints in a public and fair environment based on facts and with the due process of law.  Your unjustified complaints of my company, personal attacks and threats in a forum such as this simply do not help in the resolution of your problem.   
 
Regards,
John Lewis

I see that about 60 readers clicked unhelpful in regards to their opinion about this post. Let me try to clarify things for readers about this company and how they bent then broke the law while harassing an old man and tricking him into a panic thinking his son was wanted by police. It could just be John Lewis clicking the no button a whole bunch. He is an internet geek. All over the net he is (to paraphrase Yoda)

Find John Doe is a skip tracing company owned by a guy named John Lewis.

They call and search for individuals they are hired to locate. They do not ask for payment as they would then be more strictly constrained as to how they locate "skips". They are contracted out by finance companies and captive lenders to simply transfer the call once the debtor is on the line or turn over location information. If they negotiate payment arrangements or demand payment, they would be regulated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. So what they are supposed to do is call and locate. When their skip tracer tried to shame my father by stating "convince ***** to be the son you raised him to be", they triggered the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. In the eyes of the U.S. District Court, all calls that they made and actions that they took are subject to the FDCPA.

They f**ked up. They may claim it was a bona-fide mistake made by a commission motivated young punk kid who had signed an agreement that stipulated not to do what he did. The could produce a handbook with company policy stating not to do what he did. They can produce his signature prior to this occurrence. They would still be liable. It would change the tone of the proceedings and reduce possible damages and statutory relief awarded. They would still have a $5000 - $25000 deductable to pay their insurance company. Their rates would still go up especially since they were sued last year for almost the same harassment.

Now, the average FDCPA case is settled for $3500. There is a limit to damages of $1000 per violation and some Judges will only grant you $1000 for any and all combined. They are required to have been licensed as debt collectors in the states which they called. In this case both Colorado and Maryland. Every call they made is subject to the FDCPA ex post facto. The FDCPA considers any demand for payment made in a state in which they are not licensed to operate in a false threat. They are not allowed to threaten to take action which cannot legally be taken.  Damages that can be sought does not typically reach the amount that is needed for the emotional distress caused to all parties involved.

Federal court charges a $350 filling fee for a fed question case.

When someone engages in a phone broadcast campaign contacting many members of the community  spreading of a falsehood by making false implications and statements that would be highly offensive to the average person and do this to a non-public private citizen, it is call Invasion of privacy-false light. The statute of limitations is three years from the date of the beginning of this campaign. There is no bona-fide mistake defense they can claim. This is a circuit court case in the state of Maryland.The filing fee is $140. I have already prepared the case. I have read the rules of civil procedure. The circuit court for Frederick county is a court run by the Honorable Judge Dwyer. He is a man who protects the people of Frederick county like my father. Maryland has always had a solid pro- consumer judiciary. This will be my venue.

Service of process. I am waiting to file due to the track record of John Lewis ducking responsibility and his staff lying about who owns the company and their address. KATHERINE!!!!!!

I think he is going to duck my process server. I have retained a national service of process fulfillment company to handle this. He is the owner and resident agent. I know he will be in Irving Texas the last week of April and will file two weeks prior so as to get the court entered documents to the process server in time for John's big day. To get served in front of the entire repossession industry. I am having it video taped. I will put it on youtube with a link on this site so you can see him get served in front of his peers. John loves youtube. He subscribes to the reponut's channel. I have watched the same videos since March 2009.

John will no doubt see his lawsuit on Cucollector.com before he is served. I will be making an example out of him for the rest of his industry. Hopefully my father is the last one screwed with by some young punk kid in California. I intend to forward the lawsuit in electronic format with judiciary case search location for independent verification to Cucollector.com which he also subscribes to.

A.R.S. (American Recovery Services) a P.K. Willis Company,( a company which John Lewis founded and sold) worked an account for chase auto finance and followed the law. The honored a cease and desist.

C.S.I. (Confidential Services Incorporated)  while working for G.M.A.C.was pretending to be a hot chick on yahoo messenger trying to add me as a friend to get my contact details. I knew it was a skip tracer because no hot chicks want to be my friend. So obvious. I sent them a cease and desist instant message and the honored it.

Dallas County Investigations - while working for Chase Auto Finance called while spoofing their caller ID with the number of the Dallas County Sheriff's office in violation of the T.C.P.A. - fraudulent caller ID clause settled for $1500 in statutory damages when I faxed them a copy of the prepared suit seeking $1500 in state court. They didn't want their insurance rates to go up with a documentable lawsuit.

No collection agency or skip tracer got anything from me. When the convertible roof started leaking at 200k plus miles I told them where to get it. (roof $3500 car only worth $7000)

I intend to make an example of this punk who pretended to be a cop looking for me working an open case. I hope anyone else who gets harrassed by these guys skips state regulatory agencies and contacts a consumer lawyer. If you need help I know a few great ones that can help. Just post a response on here and I will be glad to help you find one who will work on contingency.

ALLY FINANCIAL INCORPORATED. PLEASE HAVE THE FLATBED DRIVER THAT IDLED HIS TRUCK IN FRONT OF MY FATHER'S HOUSE ON FRIDAY DECMBER 21ST AT 10:43 PM AND AGAIN ON MONDAY DECEMBER 24TH AT 9:48 PM, TO DO SO ACROSS THE STREET OR AT LEAST GET THAT DIESEL ENGINE TUNED AS IT WAS CLACKING UP A STORM FOR THE 10 MINUTES HE WAS THERE MAKING NOTES. YOU SHOULD KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT BY NOW. POOR DRIVER. I HOPE HE IS NOT WORKING ON CONTINGENCY.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU IN COURT JOHN LEWIS. MAYBE YOU CAN SHOW ME SOME MORE PICTURES OF YOURSELF IN lONDON IN FRONT OF A STORE WITH THE SAME NAME AS YOU. LOOKS LIKE I WAS WRONG WHEN I SAID THERE ISN'T ENOUGH FRAUD OUT THERE FOR OBAMA TO GET THE VOTES TO BEAT ROMNEY!!!!

Silicon Valley Recovery , Silicon Valley Recovery Inc. , Find John Doe , Unlicensed - Operating Without Required License In Maryland

#18Author of original report

Tue, November 27, 2012

Find John Doe , AKA Silicon Valley Recovery Inc., made multiple calls to a 75 year old Maryland resident with the intent to recover a Chevy Silverado or the $39,900 owed on the 3 year charged off account. Their website brags about the high percentage of accounts that they are able to settle for their clients. They brag about resolving these aged debts. It didn't happen for Ally Financial in regards to this truck. What happened instead is that the skip contacted the best FDCPA attorney who then contacted the Commissioner for Financial Regulation for the state of Maryland and determined that this company is in fact acting as a third party debt collector in the state of Maryland without the legally required license. The state of Maryland asked my attorney to have me document the calls, the dates, the multiple violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and initiate a complaint with their department so they may take action against this company. I find it amazing that anyone would hire an un-licensed contractor to do work for their multi-billion dollar finance company. Due Dilligence must be out of style. Does this company even have general liability insurance?
