submitted, our office has closed the file due to the fact that there was a complaint submitted against our company in regards to this account. There seems to be some misinterpretation with regards to what was discussed with the consumer. Now I do not want to be the one who points fingers, but the accusations that were made against our company in the complaint border along the grounds of defamation against our company. Never have we misrepresented ourselves as a Child Welfare office nor would it be of any benefit to us. At this time, no further correspondence of any form will be made by our office or a third party of ours to attempt to reach the consumer. We do apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding in regards to the complaint that was made. All reasonable requests that were made in the consumer’s complaint have been satisfied.   Thank you in advance.     Regards,     [redacted] Managing Member Mulholland Group and Associates, LLC

This company threatened to take me to court. Spoke with C. Riley and he told me his company had court documents ready to serve me. I asked him to mail me the documents and said he couldn't. This is when I realized the company was a scam. I lost $100.00.

Review: I was given File Number: [redacted] Spoke with Mr. [redacted]- Who left a message stating that he was an Agent following up on a complaint that was received about activities going on in my home and gave a partial address. He reiterated that issues with activities in my home were being investigated. When I called Mr. [redacted] stated that I was being served and taken to court for actions that he refused to discuss with me as I would not verify my Social Security number. Mr. [redacted] as a representative of Mulholland Group, falsely represented themselves as a law enforcement agency and threatened adverse legal action against me, noting that contact would be made at either my place of employment or home.Desired Settlement: That this agency completing close any case information that they may have concerning me or my property. That this agency no longer contacts me about any false or adverse activities supposedly being committed by me or anyone at my property, or falsely identify themselves. That this agency completely remove any so called debt information that they may have in my current or former name and that my personal information is completely removed from any records that they may possess. That this agency has no further contact threatening , or so called fact finding contact with me of any kind by either phone, personally or written.

Review: company contacted my brother stating there was a legal issue, I then contacted them they there is an open account for Wachovia from 2010 for over 3000 dollars but they don't represent Wachovia and will not tell me what company hired them to collect the debt, but I have no documentation from Wachovia and nothing on my credit report. The company claims I was sent a letter to my house as well as another relatives house over 45 days ago which is also false and they want to me to settle with them for 1503.66. According to other people on the internet I am not the first one and it has also been Wachovia for those people as well and the accounts were over 3-10 years ago.Desired Settlement: the company needs to be stopped

Review: Got a call referring me to [redacted]. When I returned the call I was told I owed owed over $2,000 to 1st National Bank I have never heard of this bank and was told that I was going to be served the next business day and when I told her that I would not be home between 9-3 she told me that the law suit would proceed without me being served and that my wages would be garnished, a lien put on my home, car, or any other property I owned which I told her I am a single mom. I do not own a home, I don't have a drivers license so I don't own a car, I don't even have a bank account. I have looked on my credit report and do not owe anyone this amount of money and I got some legal advice and was told that this company does not have any legal rights to sue me. The person from Mulholland Group and Associates was very rude and kept threatening me with a lawsuit.Desired Settlement: I wish that companies like this could not threaten people and harass them. Trying to get something they are not legally entitled to.

My desired outcome is for them to stop calling me and threatening me.

Review: This company has someone from a private number call you to say that you are being served for a criminal case and need to provide a current address or you will be in violation of the criminal case. I of course had no idea what they were talking about so asked for a contact number. I was given a phone number and a case number. Upon calling the phone number given the receptionist didn't use a greeting and proceeded to hang up on me. When I called back I was transferred to a woman who proceeded to tell me that I was being prosecuted for breach of contract and fraud. I was also informed that this all stemmed from a credit card that fell into default almost 10 years ago and that the original $300 bill was charged off on my credit report for $977.31 but they now need to collect $2550.85 for breach of contract. She then got angry with me for questioning the amount, the age of the debt, and the criminal charges and hung up (I didn't raise my voice or use any unprofessional language).Desired Settlement: Not only do I no longer want to be contacted by this company, I want any information they have reported to the credit bureaus removed. I also want them investigated for their business practices. They are preying on the uninformed by threatening criminal charges to collect an exaggerated amount (over 8x the original debt in my case). This company has reprehensible business practices and unprofessional representatives.

Review: Someone claiming to be a process server contacted me stating that he had a Summons and Complaint to serve. I had no idea who could be suing me; he gave me a number to call if I had questions. It was Mulholland Group and Associates. I spoke with a Mr. [redacted] (case manager) who stated that I owed in excess of $15,000 on an old credit card acct. and that a lawsuit had been filed. I told him that I never heard of that bank. He said the last payment on the account was in 2007. So I told him that, even if the debt had been my responsibility, the statute of limitations had run out. He said no it hasn't. Here's where the scam comes in. Mr. [redacted] stated that since the originating bank had been insured by the FDIC, this wasn't an ordinary debt collection action, but a breach of contract suit involving the FDIC, therefore the statute of limitations was 10 years, not 5. He stated this several times and made it absolutely clear that this was his position. I told him that it was nonsense, that there is no such law involving consumer credit debt collection. He argued and spoke over me, telling me that the Judge would see all the evidence, that the final amount would be much more than the original debt, etc.. I requested, repeatedly, that pursuant to the FDCPA, the creditor send me proof that the debt was mine. He continued to talk over me. After doing some research, I confirmed that, in fact, there is no such law regarding the FDIC and that what was said to me was a lie. Also, the supposed "Summons and Complaint" was never served and hasn't been to this day. I strongly suspect that there never was any lawsuit filed, and that Mulholland Group uses that threat to collect on debt that is unenforceable. As anyone familiar with the FDCPA knows, it is illegal to threaten a lawsuit unless you actually intend to file one. It is also illegal to refuse to provide proof that the debt in question is your responsibility, which I requested of Mr. [redacted] repeatedly.Desired Settlement: Mulholland Group and Associates have represented several times that a lawsuit has been filed against me and that a summons has been issued. I want the following information: 1. The case number of said lawsuit; 2. The venue where said lawsuit was filed; 3. Plaintiff's name(s) in said lawsuit; and 4. The date when said lawsuit was filed. If this information is not forthcoming, then that is a proven violation of the FDCPA. Should that prove to be the case, I want statutory damages which are in place pursuant to the FDCPA. I also hope that a class-action suit is initiated, which I believe is appropriate in this case, since Mulholland Group and Associates regularly, in their normal course of business attempting to collect time-barred debt, scam consumers with threats of litigation that they have no intention of filing, not to mention the threats of criminal prosecution and other repercussions which are not legally possible in a civil matter.

Review: I received a call from this company claiming that I had been served and sued for a debt that is 4 years past the statue of limitations. They said I needed to pay them $1, 500.00 now or I would have my wages garnished, drivers license suspended, and they wpuld ruin my career. I told them to re-serve me because I never recieved anything the first time. I did research on the company and found that it is scam that they have used on many people, including misrepresenting themselves as other companies and the Child Welfare office.Desired Settlement: This company needs to be shut down and have a federal lawsuit against them for harassment, embezzlement, and threatening.

Review: These people contacted my niece to get ahold of me saying they have been trying to get ahold of me (which they hadn't) telling my niece that I had 48 hours to contact them or a decision was going be made in court without my consent.. I called them asking about this so called civil case.they put me on hold 3 times and was completely rude to me and never told me what the issue was..I still don't know..Desired Settlement: I would like someone first to teach them some manners about they lie about getting ahold someone. They called my 18 year old niece to get, ahold of me ..if I had some outstanding situation with them they would have all my information and would contact me personally. They sound fraudulent to me. Thank you for your time

Review: I was contacted from [redacted] on 7/30/2015 By a company calling themselves Mulholland Group and Associates. They claimed I had a debt with [redacted] Bank from 2006 and their firm was in the process of taking me to court. They had my address, birthdate, the last four of my S.S. number! Threatening to garnish my wages. And investigate check fraud. Asking if I had been served court papers yet; that I owed over $3000. Then they said I could pay $2000 to settle out of court. When I said I didnt have the money they asked me to make a counter offer. I paid them $1000; they said they would send me a payment agreement and terms and conditions to sign and fax back to them. After looking up my credit report and realizing I didnt have a debit to that company, also seeing many post warning that this company was a scam, I tried calling back to cancel my payment but no one has returned my call. I emailed the company back saying I DID NOT agree to the terms and that I DID NOT approve any transaction on my account. They still took the money out of my account; the withdraw was made from Wilshire Group and Associates.Desired Settlement: I would like my money refunded as this was not a legitimate debit collection! And no further contact from these scammers!

Review: A man named [redacted] called me and then my brother, father, and step son saying there was a claim filed against me. He used a name I had 8 years ago. He left a message with a docket number and said I should respond right away. When I called the following day [redacted] was conveniently not there so [redacted] answered the phone. He would not tell me the name of the creditor that gave him the account. He was going to give me the claim number but said he was unable to give me the creditor's name because I would not give him my social security number to identify myself. He told me never to contact his office again. I would think a lawyer would be more professional.Desired Settlement: This company needs to stop making harassing phone calls to me and my family members. I would like to see companies such as this closed.

Review: Demanding money for past due account by the end of business to avoid being taken to court. They claim the debt is from 2006 at a bank that we have not received proper notice prior to the day it is demanded to be paid.Desired Settlement: For them to stop calling and demanding money for something that we are not aware of prior to today
