Otherwise you would have found this: This bottom feeder organization has a terrible reputation for purchasing old, mostly worthless debts, then manufacturing documents that appear to make them legal. Owner, David L. Paris is NOT to be trusted, nor is anything that comes out of their organization under the names of NorthStar and Zenith Acquisitions. North Star claims they aren't a Debt Collector... Federal Judge Refuses To Dismiss Case Against Debt Collector & Lawyer LOS ANGELES A federal judge refused to dismiss a couple's claim that N Star Acquisitions barraged them with hostile phone calls to collect a nonexistent debt. Paul and Suzette Oei say North Star representatives called their house incessantly, trying to collect a debt the Oeis allegedly owed on an Aspire credit card account, though the Oeis said they never owned an Aspire card. Suzette claimed one worker called her at work, accused her of being a liar, and when Suzette asked him to stop calling, called another 23 times. When North Star's attorney, Paul Carruthers, sued them, they fired back with their own lawsuit, which North Star moved to dismiss for a slew of reasons. It claimed North Star was not an actual debt collector and couldn't be held responsible for the actions of its attorney, whom it labeled an independent contractor. Judge Margaret Morrow rejected these arguments, as well as the Oeis' assertion that their emotional distress claim was akin to a malicious prosecution claim.
