Alton, Davis & Associates LLC Reviews
I received a call in regards to my nieces uncle from her mother side of the family. My brother is her dad. I tried explaining to them that they had the wrong number, and then I proceeded to ask where they were from and how they got my number they said that they have a data base just like the police use and started to rattle off my information being my address, phone number and then he started to rattle off my social security number. That is were I drew the line. After asking him question he also proceeded to tell me that I wouldn't do anything to them and that I can't. Well this is a start. I and behalf of all consumers should not have our information in this data base that they use and have them blurt it out to us even when the have the wrong number. Who is responsible for this?
About 3 weeks ago, Private number contacted me initially to contact another phone number with a reference number in regards to seeing when I will be home to serve me papers for a court date I had the following Wednesday. I researched the name the law firm they gave me, Alton, Davis, and Associates and the phone number and only found one complaint with the phone number. It was a lawyer that had a similar call and did his due diligence, and the lawyer did not even exist. At the time, he said they were based out of Texas.
I blew it off til he called the next day and urged me to call again. I did not and he called everyday to the point I was getting calls from my mother-in-law, brother-in-law's parents, among other random family members that they received the same call trying to get ahold of me. The following Monday, the person that handles payroll at the place of my employment informed she recieved a call. I took it serious then and called the number. I was transferred to a Michael Ellis that sounded legit and professional in everything he was saying. Said I had an old collection notice that is in their department from this hospital in an area I used to live in. They again said I had a court date the next day which was the following Wednesday.
He said I can propose a settlement and that if it was approved, they can go to the court appearance and said it was handled out of court. The total was $3,500, so I said $1,000. While I was waiting on hold and eventually hung up, I did my own research. I looked up both last names and firm name in the California Bar website. No search results.
They called back and said they would do $1500. I did not say anything to the point of I agreed. They said they would send me a digisign form by email to fill out and send with my credit card info. I asked that they send the original debt paperwork as well. I also asked if they could provide me information on the law firm because I could not find anything. They said they have a website which was a one page, very generic webpage.
I thought about it afterwards and I had never even been to the hospital they brought up!
For whatever reason, I wanted to see the building that they were for legitamacy. I used the address on the documents as well on the website and it took me to a P.O. box in a UPS store in a plaza! I also printed out the digisign documents for my records and saw a way to print out "other documents". The originator document had a different address, again, in a plaza and the spot is for lease!
I am still avoiding the calls but they are continuously calling, even the General manager. They told him I had a court appearance this past Monday. Evidently I missed it even though both "court appearances", my name was never on the docket at my courthouse which they mentioned.
My first red flag when they called was it was never said "This is a recorded call from a collection agency. Any information obtained will be used to obtain the debt" and they used my non-legal name everytime.
I filed a complaint with the FTC if that will ever do anything. Hopefully, it does get investigated because they are very convincing. I do not want other people to go through what I am still going through and possibly lose a substantial amount of money as well as their credibility inside their workplace.
Alton davis & Associates also known as Alton Davis Law Firm. A company that utilizes scare tactics by having someone call that claims to be a process server out of your area. In my case a person claiming to be Lucy McCoy called and claimed that she wanted to serve me with papers between 4 and 6. When asking for specifics about the papers it was determined that it was bogus and that she was not operating in the area. No legal filings had been made with the court. She falsely claimed that someone had been attempting to serve me at my residence. We have cameras that record any activity at our house. I called a reference number of the case and spoke with a James Parker 855-779-0997. The calls suggest that this is a law firm, however it is a collection agency and none of the people that you speak with are anything other than a call taker. In my case I specificially asked for information regarding what supposed claim that they had, and Parker wouild not give me any information. Under the consumer protection laws when the company attempts to collect a debt they are supposed to provide information in writing etc. None of this has occurred. When digging in further it was determined that the case did not match any of my personal information and that this company had called multiple relatives which is also a violation of the Fair Credit Act. As you dig further you will find that there are no attorneys in the State of California regsitered with this company. Anyone receiving calls from this company or someone claiming to be a process server, document your contacts, who you spoke to and what they said and then file a complaint against the company. There is a long history of similar acts in Texas and the current company at 1030 Mountain Ave #13, Ontario, California 91762
My entire family has been harassed by alton davis and associates for the last 2 months. I finally got a hold of a gentleman today and he said he was serving me papers for a credit care from HSBC from 2009. I know this is fact due to not having any CC in 2009. I asked for the information and he was very rude and said they would just serve me. i gave him my address and told him to serve away. When i google the company it comes up an apartment complex. These people need to be stopped.
This company has been calling me non stop for a week now. Their phone number comes up as private and they won't leave a message when they to voicemail. I finally was able to answer the last time they called. They claim that they are collecting a debt for a credit card company I have never heard of and when I started demanding that they send me documentation proving that I had this credit card the person I was talking to got rude and proceeded to argue with me and when I got firm about sending me proof he hung up on me.
Calls stop
Did they ever stop calling? I’m experiencing the same thing now
Scare Scam
Called relatives first! Not legal to collect a debt.
Never said they were trying to collect a debt.
Just started in with saying a lien on the house. Judge would make us sell our home to obtain funds. Not how a lien works.
Thank you all as I would have fallen for this SCAM with out you.
He rattled off my credit report noting my medical bills unpaid..(stroke and brain cancer)$$$$
Put these scammers out business preying on people for GREED.
This was for a Citibank card. I don't recall having one but I am paying the IRS taxes for benefit of all write offs.
I guess the judge will be disappointed when I don't show for my court appearance tomorrow since I'm a shut in and can't walk or drive . HA HA HA
BE ON ALERT FOR PEOPLE WHO WON'T WORK A REAL JOB!!
