Don't let these peckerheads intimidate you. They use threatening calls to try to get money out of people. I just tell them to piss off. I know for a fact I dont own anything since Im not in debt. They can take up there plausible cause with the business end of my expensive shotgun :). Good day.

Not true I was quite nice till she started getting rude and literally. Screaming at me and the person she was looking for doesn't even reside at this number

This number (905) 663-1440 just called me and I did not pick up. Upon retrieving my message, it's a lady that claims I need to call her back about my house. I have no idea what she wants. She did not even mention where she is calling from or who she is. Very unprofessional and awkward for someone to just mention your address.

I forgot i asked for statement of account and received an email screen shot with a hand written balance. Doesnt seem professional or legit

This is a completely legitimate law firm (legal professional corporation) that has a collection agency as a separate department. Just google them! The people calling you are not lawyers, nor do they ever say they are. But they are working within a law firm. They are not scammers, and what they are doing is perfectly legal.  Remember that any creditor or properly designated collection agency can sue you (in Small Claims Court if the amount is under $25k). The paperwork is ridiculously simple to fill out, you certainly don't need to be a lawyer to do it. Some agencies will, some won't... they will all have a dollar value threshold and it will also depend on various other factors.   (Whether they think you have assets or employment income, the time elapsed, the documentation of the debt they have, how busy they are...).  I defaulted on 2 payday loans in the $500 range. I ignored the first one and got taken to Small Claims. I ended up paying the whole amount plus about $250 in court costs. So when P&B contacted me about the other one, I made them a settlement offer and settled for slightly less than they asked for. Would they have bothered to sue for $500?  Who knows. Could they? In my particular case, sure they could have, if they wanted to. I wasn't about to call their bluff.

This number called my house yesterday. said they were calling for a guy with the same last name as mine but I could not make out the first name and said they were calling regarding a cold case. sounded like palmer & boucher or butcher. asked me to call Miss Julia back at (905) 663-1436.  She did not answer when I returned the call. I just said there was no one by that first name here and maybe she was looking for my husband as of today at  3:18 pm they have not called. Feel so stupid if this was scammers!!! I had another guy contact me threw facebook saying I was in line to claim money from a relative.  They had my maiden name as the same as the dead guys but I did not know him.  I looked into that too and people has lost everything to these [***]!! It has become a scary world,

Exactly!  I lost my job and deadbeat Dad of kid took off leaving me no income, no child support. I owe some money, and the people who have been polite on the phone and treated me with some measure of respect are the ones I've communicated with so far and have worked out a plan. But these rude 'lawyer' a**holes can kiss my a**. I've demanded they send me documents as I will not speak to someone who can't communicate in a civil, non bullying manner. And after googling the phone# and reading all these posts I simply won't deal with them at all unless it's in writting. How can these people feel good about themselves at the end of the day after treating people so badly for 7 or 8 hours straight!

Former Employee, you are a complete a**hole. That's why I abosolutely believe you are one of theirs. Sounds like you should have stayed with them though. I can't believe anyone else would want a cold blooded reptile such as yourself around them on a daily basis.
