Received a message from a Mr. Young from the Peach Tree Law Center wanting me to contact someone whom they thought I had some contact with to tell him that within two hours they would be making a decision about a legal issue concerning this person.  This Mr. Young, no first name, inisisted that I tell the person they were looking for to call 1-800-668-6163 to discuss the matter.  When I asked what this issue was about, I was told that it was a legal issue that they could not talk about and the I should just contact this person.  When I asked who the client was, this Mr. Young told me that the Peach Tree Law Center was the client they represented.  Very vague and very suspicious.

So my mom receives a phone call from this Mr. Winston. Claims he needs to speak to her immediately about a very serious legal matter they have in their firm. Leaves his number 800-668-6163 x103. I call him back to find out why he is harrassing my parents, he claims it is me he is looking for and claims he has to record our coversation so I tell him that I will do the same. He comes up with a "debt" from 2005 where he claims I "bounced" a check. This NEVER happened. He continues to tell me that the debt is for $825 however his firm has to charge me for their efforts another $1800 making it $2625, and asked how I would be taking care of this today? lol then he says that they can accept the $825 now and that I can make payments on the other $1800. I tell him that IF he wants to mail me this information I will look at it with my lawyer and figure out why they are accusing me of this debt, he tells me that he will not do that. He says that he can email me some information but if Im not willing to do that then he will have to proceed with serious actions. I sarcasticaly said "then you go do that and have a wonderful day"! Ive had my credit problems but Im on top of it now and I know what I owe and this is not it. These people try to take advantage of innocent people that are trying to fix their credit by making them believe they owe something that they dont.... Be careful people.

Person named stan marshall left a message on my voicemail saying that a lawsuit has been filed against my name and that I or my attorney needs to contact him asap because he needs to speak to someone before handing my case over to the court, and he left this number: 404-981-6103.  Reported case to BBB.

Just and FYI.....these scam artists are in both Colorado and Georgia, as well as a couple of other states.  They are complete scams and use illegal procedures to get money from non-suspecting folks.  I never thought I would be one caught up in this, but they got me.  Several years ago, my husband lost his job and we had a lot of debt to clear up.  They called my mother, then my work and I returned their call.  They said it was done during that time period and, of course, being at work I was distracted and just went "well maybe I missed something".  The first payment when through as was agreed upon and then a second went through a couple of days later taking 4 times the amount of the first one.  Cleaned me out.  They also threatened legal prosecution, arrest, having to pay over $4000 if I didn't agree to pay the $500 owed, etc.  After much extensive research....these guys are scammers.  And they are good at what they do.  I am an accountant and to catch me....well, let's just say...none of us is safe from these idiots.
