This company has called relatives and harassed them, they called and said I was in non compliance but when asked to supply thier address and what company they represent they refused

They have harrassed me at work, they called my employment and actually told the receptionist I was "going to jail"....they contacted other employees to track me down for a debt I have no idea what they are talking about and they will not give me information on it! They actually said to my boss I wont be in on Monday I will be in jail if I dont call back...my husband gave them "the call back"..Mr. Thomas will be sued for "defamation of character" if he persist...we need to fight back with these people, they have NO RIGHT by law or m****ly to state your going to jail...enough! If they wee a law firm that they claimed to be they would not be telling everyone you know your "going to jail" and that "you cant run from the law"...seriously? We need to tell them that they are going to jail..sooner then us!

Today I received a voice mail from a Barbara Hill, representing a Law firm by the name of Hoffman, Weinberg & O'Brien. She stated that she was calling about a Civil Complaint a***nst me. I did return the call to

These people stated i had a summons waiting to be served for a case I was involved in. When I called them back, i found out it was a collection agency, yet they did not state so. They misrepresented themselves saying they are a liquidation firm. They also represented themselves as working through HSBC bank. These people do not abide by any law and are bottom feeders. The phone is 716-597-0889. Hoffman, weinberg and O'Brian needs to be stopped.

Do you realize that this is a forum that helps others??  SOme of us DON"T OWE ANYTGHING!!!  and these people keep calling & harassing us.  It is really difficult to deal with when they call all the time!!!  I have no idea to get them to stop calling...if you have any advice on getting them to quit when you don't owe money, please enlighten us oh great one!!!  Had I not googled & found this site, I would have no idea of the issues with this company.  Not everyone who complains owes money.  There are tons of credit fraud issues and this company seems to be one of those threats.  Thanks to those of you that have posted  helpful comments :)

I got a call about a week ago about a debt that I own. I call them to tell them that I did not have the money he forward my call to a Mr. peters he was very rude and theated me because I Said I would contact my att. I dont thank thats the way it should be handle so I got on line to check them I guess I will have to concil my acct know because I give them acct number.

Did you even bother to call back? Or did you just come here to complain? Perhaps if you'd honor your commitments or at least returned calls to work the matter out the poor slob wouldnt have to call relatives to try to contact you. Quit blaming the world for your problems and pay your debts!

He raised his voice to you so now you don't owe it? Insane! Call him back now and pay your bill so others dont have to with higher prices!!

Then for god's sake PAY IT. You coming here to complain just highlights the Amercian way of thought that if you cant afford to pay it, you dont owe it and shouldnt have to talk to anyone about it. Anyone calling you about money you owe is "harrassing" you. At least look up the word before using it. Quit making honest people like me have to pay your debts with higher prices deadbeat!! *****ic!

THEY ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR.  Joshua, an employee with his company, represents himself as a paralegal and they are consistently in violation of the Federal Trade Consumer laws. There are several complaints pending with the FTC and the BBB a***nst this organization.   I encourage people who are being harassed unlawfully to log all calls, if you have a cell phone bill and they call that number, log the number of calls and dates.  File complaints and make similar postings. They advise of  false docket and case number and they call you from 7165970889/716-597-0887 and leave you a number 866-450-5702 to call back at. They say there is legal action pending a***nst you.  They call repeatedly back to back and they calls at times which are unlawful.  They also yell at consumers when and if you call back to say they are violation and to contact via mail.  If you do call them and record the conversation make sure you advise them you are recording the conversation. Posting this for other consumer information.

I got the same call but he goes by the name of Timonty Peters and said that I someone has filed as lawsuit a***nst me in my county. I didn't buy it for one minute but it just shows how low they will go to collect a debt. They're using illegal tatics and have been doing it for a long time and on so many people using fake names and threats. They should be shut down immediately some news agency needs to report on this and have them shut down.

Does not leave a message, but makes one call after another and just ****s up.

LEAVES NASTY MESSAGE

Calling looking for someone I do not know.

These people stated i had a summons waiting to be served for a case I was involved in. When I called them back, i found out it was a collection agency, yet they did not state so. They misrepresented themselves saying they are a liquidation firm. They also represented themselves as working through HSBC bank. These people do not abide by any law and are bottom feeders. The phone is 716-597-0889. Hoffman, weinberg and O'Brian needs to be stopped.

They called on two different phone lines and said the same messenge a Paralegal named Josh called both times. I just remembered this call because it was 3rd time that morning October 2, 2009

They were going to have a summon's deliveried to my door the next day and gave a docket number. That I must return the call by 4:30 that day On October 2,2009. Even called my mother who is elderly worries about every thing and her number is private.

They called me ironically after I had pulled my credit report and had already taken care of two old debts.  They said this was for one of the debts that shows paid on my credit report.  I was scared and nervous about the legal suit they threatened and set up payment arrangements with them.  I paid $204, stopped the second and third $204.  How they are calling yelling and threating to triple my debt.  I just got off the phone with them and thought I would check them out on line and this is where I wound up.  I was going to call on Friday and pay the balance but I dont believe I will.  Is that additional $200 going to completly sink my credit.  I own my home just bought a new car so I'm set for awhile, and it obviously didn't stop me from doing that....Good Luck to anyone who has to deal with them...

Josh Domagala called to locate someone and didn't have the correct name, then was very rude and crude. He was very abusive to my husband and when my husband told him he couldn't talk to me unless he c****ed his mannerism and tone of voice, he did until he got on the phone with me, then s****ed in a***n. I let him know an attorney would be calling him back, but not to call here anymore. He then got more abusive and after I got all of his information, I ***g up.

Called asking if I knew a Judith Grabowski or Harold Davies. Saying that they listed me as a direct relative. I don't know either of these people. Caller was very rude and confrontational. I could tell it was some kind of scam and ***g up.

caller type caller type:unknown phone number report:caller was rude. did not say what call was about.said thay would see me court. ;

I have been harrassed by some caller from 716-597-0889 asking for someone else beside me.  I asked what was his name after asking a few times he finally gave me a name by Tom Gee.  He refused to tell me what company he is from or why he is calling.  He wanted me to give this person a message I said no this is not her phone this is mine, call her and leave me alone.  I ***g up he continued to call back at least 3-4 times.  Then yelling at me "why am I such a ****" he also said "its going to be your fault, for not giving her a message" and ***g up.  Tried calling back caller ID busy tone.  I am sick and tired of this A--H---s calling.

I was called also by them.They did know about an old debt.They wanted my credit card number.After he raised his voice to me, I cursed him out and ***g up.

called for an employee that works here, but not in the office, asked for their cell phone, what the company does, and asked what he does. very rude, and unprofessional. When I told him "don't be rude to me, I'm not the one who owes you money" he said "who said that, I'm calling about an open court case" which of course is a lie - since they are debt collectors. Very Rude

they represent them selves as a law firm with a summons for a debt owed in 2002,imaid an arrangement with them to pay off with a debit card, wish i had read this first.

asking for some one i dont know but acting from the beginiing as the are a Law Firm then they said are Collectors any way they have the wrong person but still calling

Called today after being told last year not to call,to mail if they had any business with me. Represent themselves as attorneys,not true. Last year called my family members to get my phone number and told them I was being taken to court.

Kept calling sister after being told not to.

I have been receiving call from a Mr. Lopez supposedly about a debt that my son in law owes. He is very rude, and arrogant. I told him my son in law doesn't live here. But he still keeps calling. This is the third day in a row. He ****s up when he doesn't like the way the conversation goes. He has asked for information, that I would no way give him. He presents himself as an attorney. But when I ask him if he was an attorney, he ***g up on me. I think I will call the Pa. Attorney Generals office..

Theses people called 3 different people looking for me saying that they are attorneys and they have a court summons for me, i dont know why they didnt call me. I returned the call and seems like it is for a debt from 2002 that was never paid. Lucky for me the statute of limitations ran out 4 years ago!!! Someone needs to put a stop to this invasion of privacy!!!

asking for a relative with name susan wings and saying attorney and for court hearing. said we are are relatives. no such thing. very upsettig

I'm an IDIOT!!! I panicked when they threatened to press felony charges for an OLD charge card debt. Now I'm out $1291.

Why if when i put my name as "Johnnie" on my cell to leave "me" a message i get a message for a Shannon Kennedy? Every time that person who i think is black leaves a message on "my" phone and each time it costs me time on my cell and it says leave Johnnie a message,Are you people anywhere close to where that Wal-mart employee was *****led? Im thinking people who work for you are in the same league if not in the same state! Leave my phone alone !!

Keep calling about random people that I don't know that happen to have the same last name.

I received a phone message from Carolyn Cook @ HOffman, Wienburg and O'brienabout a relative and said I need to get in touch with them because they couldnot get in touch with the person they need.  I have not phoned back. Theycall everyday.  What can be done about this? I guess i could phone back andtape the conversation.  I have not a clue about this company, but decidedto google them and I found this site.

Received a call from this number a few different times asking for my brother in law we have told these people numerous times he does not live here has never lived with us and we dont have contact with him then ***g up the man on the other end called  right back he swore at me told me to stop running my mouth to shut up and listen by the end of the call he said some very ***ual explict things to me. These people have to be stopped this is total harassment I don't owe anything and should not be subjected to this kind of calls (or anyone else) let alone my 13 year old which he swore at also.

Received a call from this number with the following This Lucette saying she was a paralegal with the Hoffman firm and there was a summons to be filled out in my county for me and I needed to return this call as soon as possible. They also called my mother and husband and they were highly upset. Myhusband returned the call and the lady was very nasty gave him all my information he did not have to prove who he was. She said if I do not call her back they will get an attorney in Florida and sue me. My husband ask why they would spend $50000 to get back 1500. I will not be calling these people.

they call me non-stop.. they are calling my family members, too. the are threatening me with legal action. if they are are going to sue me, then they should do it properly. all of this just to collect a $900 debt...

you shouldnt pay any of your bills in collection ...then maybe our country will be in better shape

I recieved the same call and they called me a dead beat... they said this to me as well They did the same thing to me. Caroline Cook called and left a message that she was a parallegal with the Hoffman Weinberg and obrien law firm.  She said there was serious allegations and a pending court summons.  When I questioned her she would not answer and then ***g up. So i was scared as well and i was like *** i'm going to jail.. They were so rude to me and had me so scared... I'm not paying anything to them....

Threat of law suit for collection. Caller claimed she was paralegal from Hoffman Weinberg

They did the same thing to me. Caroline Cook called and left a message that she was a parallegal with the Hoffman Weinberg and obrien law firm.  She said there was serious allegations and a pending court summons.  When I questioned her she would not answer and then ***g up.

Received a call from debt collector looking for Anthony P. They explained that my number had been unsed on a form as a reference.

This is a collection agency that called me looking for someone else. The caller identifyed herself as "Carolyn Cook, a paralegal with the firm Hoffman, Weinberg, & O'Brien" looking for a Mr. Luc Nguyen. I asked the caller for their business' address.

calls and ask for different people..ask not to call...

Keeps calling my number asking for someone that does not live at my resident. I am not aware of anyone using my name or having any type of buisness with this caller. I would like for the calls to stop.

they called and left message that this was a legal matter and would be going to court have not recieved anything in the mail. To my knowledge you cannot call someone to go to court without legal contact which is by mail and by sherriff department.
