The Cardinal Firm , Cardinal Law Firm, etc. uses scare tactics to get you to pay a nonexistent debt Temecula CA
This "company" called my husband insisting he had an unpaid debt with U.S. Bank. They said that U.S. Bank turned over his account to them, a "law firm", and they were collecting on their behalf. They told him he'd be summoned to court if he didn't pay right away. They insisted they sent us ground mail, they DID call some of our family members with a DA case number in the last several months (which we ignored) and wanted them to tell my husband to get back with them. We didn't think much of it until they called my husband at work in the middle of his work day! He was polite, and told them he'd call them back when he got off work. Long story short, these people calling used scare tactics to try to get us to pay a debt we were unsure about (my husband had an account with U.S. Bank way over 10 years ago). The lady speaking with us became very rude when we inquired about the details, and when we told her we wouldn't pay without some actual documentation, she told us we were just trying to find any way not to pay our debts.
Upon hanging up with her, we contacted U.S. Bank and they were able to give us (accurate) details on the old account. No such debt exists, and when we called back to tell the lady from The Cardinal Firm about it and also how we thought they were running a scam, she said, "Good luck with everything," and hung up on us. I called back and asked to speak with anyone from the Cardinal Firm, just not that specific lady as she'd just hung up on me, and the person answering the calls from the number listed on the website directed me right back to the rude lady from before. She told us we had spoken with the wrong department at U.S. Bank. When we asked who we should be speaking with, she was quick to say, once again, that we we're just trying to get out of paying a debt, and hung up on me again. When I called back, it went directly to her! She said if I called back one more time, they'd sue for harassment. I tried calling again, and get nothing but a busy signal. Scam, scam, scam. Don't pay them a dime. Upon further investigation of their website, it is made for people who are getting these calls to look at and seem legitimate, but really, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize they are frauds. Read the fine print and do your research before paying anything to anyone.
