collection scam
Received a voice mail from a man saying I have a formal complaint filed against me. I called the number back the next day and a woman answered. She said I needed to pay 400.00 today with a debit/credit card, or set up arrangements of 50.00 a month. She said it was for a loan that was deposited into my bank account in 2012, which is now closed. Now I'm going to receive a notice to go to court and court costs can be up to 2, 500. Beware of these people! They are out to scam you for you money! I hope and pray someone puts a stop to this.
Harassing and threatening phone calls
Called my former employer. I am retired as of 12/31/2015. Even though my former employer told them I no longer worked there, they began harassing my former co-workers. The supervisor turned the info over to the HR Dept and the HR Dept called me and gave me the telephone number of these phonies. I called and also received threatening and harassing conversation from a person at Coastal about a bank loan that had been deposited into my bank account --NOT TRUE! I then went into "B****" mode and told them to cease calling my former employer and embarrassing me by making them think this was a legitimate call. That person began laughing at me and I hung up because none of the info they were talking about was true. They called again I then went 'B****" mode again and I hung up. They initially called from the Tel #[protected]. When they called again, the telephone number was began w/area code 317-xxx-xxxx (I don't remember the number). This is a total scam and the people on the other end of the phone are stupid because if this was legitimate, no one calls and harasses you that many time, they would proceed with the legal avenues and not continue with the threatening and harassment.
Fraudulent attempt to collect a non existent debt
Today I got the second call from the scammers. The first call they attempted to tell me that I owed $3, 300 in payday advances from 2006 I believe it was at an address that I lived in in 2009. From a bank that I've never had an account at. After the first call, i telephone Key Bank and spoke with their branch manager I had him run my social security number. He explained to me that I have never ever in my life had an account with Key Bank. With that being said, how could I have $3, 300 an outstanding payday advances written on a key bank account in my name. I told them today that they were trying to scam me and that I would report it again to my local police department. I suggest that no one ever give them your personal information or your bank account numbers or any information whatsoever other than answering yes I am so and so. Hopefully the federal government will catch up with this company at some point. They are trying to extract money from innocent people who have done nothing wrong. I have never in my life taken out a payday advance. And if I owed money to anyone wouldn't you think it would be on my credit report? Guess what not there. You can also contact ChexSystems because if you have information regarding a worthless check it will be in there. I have had 5 bank accounts in my entire life. None have been at KeyBank and if I had $3, 300 in outstanding bad checks no one would have given me another one.
Litigation Firm
Received a fraudulent call from them about a debt from over 10 years ago that was filed on a Chapter 7 and charged off. They tried to tell me they were hired by a company that I called and was advised that they were not. Allen Carrington was the alleged name of the person at Coastal in Atlanta GA and he is a fraud that tried to steal money from me and my family with false accusation and threats. I will ensure that they are found and that they are taken down by the proper authorities.
Scam Collection Agencies
Received a call today from Ms Brown (Funny they always use "Brown" as contact name...anyways they called my job with a message that answers when you pick up the phone its says this call is for whomever please call this number [protected]. So I called it back to see who and what they were calling about. They answer with "this is litigation Ms Brown...

I am reporting a SCAM. A man by the name of Gerald Mack of Coastal Litigation called me this morning from a blocked number and told me that my husband has a court case against him. When I called back the number that "Gerald" left in his voice message, I was told that my husband wrote a worthless check (amounting to $248.05) to Cash Store in Joliet, IL and that I need to pay the amount of the debt to prevent it from going to court. I asked for further identification of the person who committed the fraud and it turns out that the birthday of the alleged fraudulent person is not even the same as my husband's birthday, so it was all a lie. When I asked them for their business name and their company website the representative got very rude after which I informed them that I would be filing a complaint against the company, Coastal Litigation.
Coastal Litigation also called several members of our family and told them the same scare tactic so that they would pay the fee. This is a huge scam and someone should put a stop to them. Not only are they fraudulently seeking payment, but they are defaming the person's character by spreading lies about them.
Fraud/Collections
Received a phone call from a Restricted number. They said I was being summoned to court for a previous loan that was $605. They transferred me to a person who "talks to the lawyers" that said if I pay the full amount today they wouldn't take me to court. They asked for my card # & would take payments. I can't find ANY information on them online and when I called and asked, they said they don't have a website. When I told them I was calling for a friend, they hung up on me. I called back and asked for their location they said " maam you've called 3 times fishing for information, can I help you with something?" and I told them that I wanted to verify that it was a real company because they don't have a website and he said " Ma'am you have a good day" and hung up. Needless to say I'm cancelling the card and not paying them a dime.
This company (Coastal) has been calling my son for about 2 weeks leaving very threatening messages and when he finally answered their call, they said they were going to be filing a suit in the County where we live and would be sending an officer to his home. Well, then Monica Green from this company decided to call me. I called her back (she wasn't available) and spoke to "James." I asked what it was about and they said my son had "missed his appointment with his attorney" and they were calling me as a "location" service. Well, wait a minute... let's back up! First, I am a Florida Registered Paralegal and I know the laws regarding litigation and criminal actions. I told them I work for an attorney and I wanted to know the name of the attorney that my son had supposedly missed they appointment with. James then says he didn't say he missed an appointment with an attorney but rather a compliance officer. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold for several minutes. Of course, a supervisor wasn't available so I asked additional questions about the compliance officer, what exactly this matter was about and then I asked him if he was familiar with the FDCAP, explained that I'll be calling the State Attorney's office in our county to find out exactly what this was about, the conversation quickly ended with a "hope you have a great day" and they hung up. TOTAL SCAM!
Same thing here except they called my minor daughter at school she had her teacher listen in I just called them and told them they just broke the law by calling my minor daughter and I would be contacting the law and a lawyer they hung up on me SCAM
I just got a call from an operating have me another number [protected] to call. The lady asked me for my birthday so she could verify that it is me. I would not and she says that she is from Coastal just Coastal and that I have a suit filed against me. And I asked who is suing me and she said that she represents lawyers from all a across the US. When I would not give her what she wanted she told me good luck in court. I couldn't find a parking ticket in my name or the docket she gave me. SCAM!
Did you ever got any court orders or anything like that? They called me saying the same. But i think it is a scam.
Got a call from a company called "COSTAL"... they asked for phn number and then right in to saying I'm being sued ...I was like hold up what are u talking about then she goes to say the same stuff again... I told her no u tell me this when did this debt happen...She tries to tell me she don't have that information. So I tell her okay then there is no debt. She goes since u are refusing to pay u will get a court paper summons for u to appear in court. And she hung up.
Did you ever got any court orders.
This has happened more than once to me. The first time, I actually started to believe until the guy on the phone tells me that he wasn't going to lose his job by negotiating for a lower amount, on my behalf. That's when I called his bluff and told him to serve me with the papers. And wouldn't you know, I'm still waiting for the papers and it's been over 6 years now.
Now when it happens, I actually stop everything and play with them. First, I act real concerned and let them know that I absolutely want to be in compliance. After they go into their pitch about how I can pay with a credit, debit, or prepaid card, I tell them that I do not have any of those simply because I don't believe in them. I then explain that I have a TON of cash (I reeeeaaallllyy stress this part. I will talk for as long as they'll allow me about how much cash I have) and would go to their office and pay if they would just give me an address.
Of course they inform me that that is not possible. So then I just tell them that I will try again next week. One of two things is going through their mind at this point. They're thinking that 1) this guy is a total nut job, or 2) this guy is totally playing me. Either one works for me, and I feel like I'm the one who comes out the winner.
Crazy people. Their new number is: [protected]
They claim their mailing address is:
420 North Mckinley St. #111
Corona, CA. 92879
I looked into it and the address is a mail center. Google map it. ;) I asked about the address and "Patricia Brown" said it was their Corporate Office. I called again with a fake number (yah they an app for that) and asked them about their address, Patricia Brown after I told her I confirmed that I called the mail center and confirmed their address she stated, "That is our mailing address", when I told her I talked to them and the mail center doesn't receive mail for others Patricia Brown got angry and hung up.
They also go by: Titanium Investment Group and weinstein fitzgerald and Costal Litigation Group.
I actually have been enjoying fishing for answers.
Join me in poking for info, I have been getting some good info each time I call. Also they have Caller ID so you will want to hide your Number. ;)
I have had a woman calling by the name of Rita Thomas. Threatening me with a law suit and having to go to court to prove this debt is no longer valid. The had old information and my SSN plus my previous address. They called my boyfriends phone left a message but when they called my number they did not. She stated she would send me a email to verify the company and payment plan. I was to electronically sign off on this and issue my credit card info to them. I had a weird feeling since I had not received said email so I called my bank and cancelled my card info. I have 3 different numbers this Rita Thomas has called from [protected], [protected] and told to call [protected]. When I tried to call not even 30 mintues after initial phone call no one answered. Plus the name of the Company when she called originally was CNA Corporation, now it is Coast Line and I am to ask for Associate in Legal Department.
Report those phone numbers to bandwidth.com. They will disconnect these scammers. Most of these numbers are bad now, however, they keep trying with new ones. Do NOT give them any info or money. COASTAL IS A SCAM!
I received an upsetting call as well, today. the number they called from: [protected]; they also provided me with these numbers: [protected] (because they said that first number was their "automated locator number") and [protected]. Names I was provided: For the Company: Coastal or CSF or Coastal CSF (three different names throughout the call) People I spoke to: Nathan Allan (I was to call back and ask for Leona Brown) and also was transferred to an Elizabeth Jones (transferred to her when I was trying to disconnect the call). I am O GLAD I followed up and checked the name and phone numbers out before providing any information! All info they had for me is over 10 years old... They had me so upset!
Depending on the state you live in, for example California's, statue of limitations on a written contract is 4 years. After that they can no longer sue you or pursue the debt. They can still collect it and report to your credit up until 7 years from the date of discharge. However, legally, they cannot threaten you or take you to court once the SOL has run its course. Please look up your states SOL (statue of limitations)
Also, please be aware they cannot threaten you with a legal action they cannot or will not be taking. They cannot also decline to provide information of the original debt. That is a RED FLAG! Failure to provide the original debt's origin is a violation of the FDCPA which is intended to protect consumers rights. They are also required to validate debt when attempting to collect a debt as well as provide an initial demand letter. Also, they are required by law to provide a summons and complaint which you have the legal right to respond to within 30 days of being served. There are certain states like Mass, are non-dunning states, which means, legally they cannot sue you - look up your states laws on debt reporting and demands.
If a company fails to provide either a mailing address, fax or email to provide written request to Cease and Desist, that is also a violation of FDCPA's. Another perfect violation is that if they are attempting to collect a debt, they are required by law to advise you they are a debtor collector or debt collecting attorney, they are required by law also to mini mirandize you as well if the debt is a legal debt.
If you get another call from them, say the following, while you record the call: If you are refusing to provide me with written validation per my request, I have to order you to cease and desist any further telephonic and written communication to me. Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action against you, who I will personally name in this lawsuit as well and your company who you claim to represent. I am also recording this to show legal proof that I have advised you of my rights to request validation and cease all communication to me - thank you and have a great day ---- end the call and contact a Fair Debt attorney as well as file a complaint with the CFPB.
