This number called claiming to be a law firm, however when I contacted that firm, they were not associated with them.

It's a collection agency acting like an law office. Called me at work. Told me that they sent a summons officer to serve me papers early this morning and said no one was home. Funny thing is that my roommate has been home all day. I allowed him to finish with his speech. I told him to never call me at work again or he will be subject to a 1000 dollar fine for each call. He then got rude with me, which is a dead give away that it's a collection agency. He uses scare tatics don't believe him.

Good for you!

1. It is illegal to claim to  be a lawyer (or law enforcement officer)  if they are not.
2. You are NOT warned if a summons is coming.

Called for my son whom I dont speak with.  Would not take no or not here for answer.  Rude indiviudals
Acted all legal office like and were nothing but a collection company.  I work for one of the biggest collection companies in the US and this is not how business is conducted

Did they say they were from Berg & associates with a phone number of 323-487-3815?  I got a call from that group and that number today, pretty much doing the same thing to me!
