Lombardo, Davis & Goldman

HELP! recieved a call from D. L AND G. stating i Had a bad check. This company withdrew my payment twice from my account, I stopped the payment because I didnt know were it had come from. Now they are calling and had my credit file and perdonal info. They are threating me with arrest, court and freud. I am at a lost and need some advice. . THEY SAID i PASSED A BAD CHECK!!! I took out a pdl on the interent. Mr. Harris stated he could make it to were I could be arrested if I was to be pulled over or stop me from getting a job. What can I do?

One of the moderators on this site will answer your question, but I do know from experience, they cannot threaten you with arrest or anything for that matter. They need to send you a validation of the debt you owe. Do not give them any personal information. The validation is what you need to get before anything. You can also turn them into the FTC and the State Attorney General.

the Lombardo, Davis and Goldman web site never says they are a LAW firm, it just says they are a "firm."

I am so glad i was able to read all these comments. I had a bad experience with this company also. It started with john stance calling me telling me i have charges that are going to be brought against me like malitious intent not to pay, and fradulent checks. Omg, i was freaked, he wouldn't work payments out with me, told him i could only do 50 a month, he told me that was laughable, proceded to ask me how much i got back on my taxes and why didn't i pay it back with my taxes, told me he didn't believe me that i didn't get much back. Jerk, jerk, jerk. Asked him if i could think about it, he told me i had 24 hrs then he would turn me over to my county. I didn't call back, he cld the next day really nice sd he could work with me, but now not really comfortable with giving him any money. Talked to a really good friend at a collection agency she told me what my rights are and told me he was so in the wrong. So i quoted those laws and rights to him, he was so stumped and gave me to his boss. It was comical. I have their address for all those who asked 735 delaware rd. Ste#317. Buffalo, ny. 14223john didn't know the add, he had to search for it. Who does that? Don't you know your own work add if you are trying to get money. Still fighting them, thinking about calling the company i got the pdl from and pay them.

These people are RUDE, Argumentative, Hanger uppers at the first sign of resistence.

yea i have delt with them , they r leigit and they r for payday loans and bank of americal loans, and yes they can come after you, becouse if u signd up for a payday loan u signd the agreement

This woman calls me from the number 716-748-6259, tells me she trying to contact my husband, I ask where she calling from and says Lombardo, Davis and Goldman Firm. Then I ask who her client is because she does sound like an attorney's office, she tells me that she can not tell me so that I can forward it to my husband. (NOTE: I've known people personally who have had REAL attorneys offices come and summons them and want to rip money from your check, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHO THEIR CLIENT IS.) She starts telling me that that she has my mothers name as a reference, and tells me that this is NOT a debt collection, that it is EXTREMELY URGENT that he calls back TODAY, and her client had forwarded it from my county. I take her name and numbers...Charity Primm 800-351-6448 x 130, and her direct line 716-748-6259.
So I do some research and all I find is HUNDREDS of people complaining of threats, non-stop calls, scamming, and harrassement. I inform my husband that if he ever speaks with this "company" DO NOT listen to them.
I called Charity back at her extension and informed her that I looked up her "company" and found out that they are in fact a debt collector and that my husband will not be contacting them and going about his day when he got home. She started to "inform" me that if he does not call she will be "forwarding it to accounting and they will summons his employers." I cut her off and informed her that I have done my research on the "company" and that she can legally do NOTHING and to have a good day. CLICK.
I have attempted to find SOMETHING to prove that this in fact a legit company, one lousy website for looks. It states under their services that even a judgement is made they will not stop attempting to collect the monies owed...this is FALSE, once an attorneys office and filed to take action toward your monies owed you NO LONGER deal with debt collectors for said monies owed, only the attorneys office, they collect ALL payments toward monies owed. Further more, in an attempt to find a legit business license through BBB, NOTHING in ALL in the United States.
This "company" has officially called the wrong woman. I DO NOT take lightly anything that gets under my skin! =) Wish me luck all! I know that I'll be enjoying myself in dealing with this "company".

irritated! i had a similar experience with these jokers. when they i wasnt playing they backed off. and i ended up filing bankruptcy and they told me the loans were not dischargeable WRONG! My lawyer proved them wrong! they are scum. dont let them get to you. keep us informed of what happens. the lady i had to deal with was rebecca.

THEY CALL ME TOO....FUNNY HOW IT WAS IAG ...A DIFFERENT COMPANY...CALLING ME ABOUT THE SAME DEBT JUST LAST MONTH.

I have been receiving message from the Lombardo, Davis and Goldman. That is against the law to pretend to be a law firm off. I don't talk to them, I just hang up in the face. First of all, a law firm is not going to attack you like they do. I realize they was fraud when I called an person asking the phone as if he was at home. That blow my mind. If you every received they calls hang up in there face.

Rec'd a message from edward brown 18003516448 ext 106 ... I sent them a cease & desist letter!!!!

I filed a complaint against Jim Lincoln and the firm. They were not authorized in my state to issue a payday loan and nor are they allowed to call and threaten and harass people. You all need to file a complaint, with Better Business Bureau, FTC and the NY Attorney General Office. At this time the Attorney General that I am working with is sending a letter and pursuing their tactics on how they dealt with me. Alot of states do not allow these payday loans, the companies are not legal and then they sell these accounts to bottom feeders like this to try and scam you into sending payment.

i keep getting calls from these people too. I was always willing to work with them on paying off a debt I owe, but this just always sounded a bit funny to me. I would rather pay the company rather than some law firm i never heard of. When I told them the days I could pay them, they told me that wasn't good enough and I would have to find the money or they would take me to court for civil and criminal charges. (I found out later that you cannot even prosecute for criminal charges in my state on these grounds) THey even told me to borrow money from whoever I could just to pay them or go take out another payday loan to pay them!! Hello?? not going to get caught in that trap again! I told them I was not going to do that but that I would be able to pay them on my payday and they said they could not help me and to come up with the money or they were turning me in and I would be charged all the court costs, have my wages garnished and possible spend time in jail. Then they hung up on me. I just got another call from them today saying that they would take my payment on the days i said I could pay and they would not prosecute me. I told them I had done research on their company, and I was filing a complaint with the local police department for harassing me constantly and to stop calling my office and my cell phone.

I got a recorded message left on my VM from them, the new number calling from is: 716-989-5217 does anyone know what payday loan company it is for? I have a couple that say I owe money, but they were illigal and I overpaid but still will not mark me paid in full. I have not heard anything for months from them so I assumed the dropped trying to get money I don't owe. Apparently one of them sold my information to this company.

I just got an email from my HR dept with a letter from this "firm" requesting employment verification. To which the "firm" wants me to just sign it and fax it in. Thankfully my HR dept is on top of things... I am going to send them a cease and decist and a validation letter. I am guessing I don't have to sign that employment verification.

Any input would be great.
thanks

I have been getting phone calls saying that I was playing games because I won't take their calls. I do not have a pay day loan and they are saying I do. Some guy last name Marcia called me and then put his supervisor Lang on and they sounded like the exact same person. They said that if I didn't pay today they would file charges and see me in court. Is that possible? I tried looking them up and all I find are these complaint websites. The people are rude and I'm not sure what I can do. I at first gave them my info then closed my account after reading all of these and they are now saying I violated a federal agreement. HELP!

First, learn who you are dealing with:

People allegedly working for the firm have stated Lombardo and Goldman are real:

Funny how their "proof" was quickly shot down

Furthermore, from the suspected Lombardo from the blog post above:

The firm is not registered with the state of New York as a corporation - they are not licensed to collect in states that require it.

I personally believe that they only became members of Debtconsolidationcare.com in order to refute claims that Frank Davis is a convicted felon. Payday loans are junk debts bought up by less than savory collectors (bottom feeders) in hopes they can employ their tactics to collect on loans that may very well be illegal in your state.

I just received a voicemail at my work from the 'firm' you guys are all talking about. Obviosly, at this point I don't intend on calling them back, and my supervisor advised our receptionist to tell them (if they call again) that I'm no longer employed. Can someone please post a copy of the Cease and Desist letter you're all talking about? I'd like to fax one to them. First, I received calls from some crazy east indian guys from CA, now I'm getting calls from this company in NY. I live in WA and I'm tired of this junk. Thank you for all the insight you guys have posted. I sincerely appreciate it.

The voicemail they left today said:

[FONT=Times New Roman][ My full name ][/FONT], this is Ryan Bronson with the Lombardo Davis & Goldman Firm contacting you regarding case number 35429. This is a notification regarding the fraud charges pending against you attached to a pending summons to be executed to either your residence or appointed. It is imperative that yourself or your attorney returns this call today at 716-335-9654. No return to this call may result in execution of summons to Pierce County. [FONT=Times New Roman][My full name][/FONT], you have been notified.

They told me that if I didn't call them by the end of today, they would file a law suit and have me subpoenaed.

I received a voicemail today from this company basically saying the same things as I have read...that I have two complaints against my name and SS# and that I basically have action started against me. For one, I am not sure how often a law firm contacts people on a saturday stating that papers will be filed that day if I do not call back. I live in Washington state and payday loans are legal but ONLY one at a time, no roll overs, and the fees cannot be more than $15 per $100. I have paid back the original loan amount plus over and above the legal fee amount on loans rolled over at least 4 - 5 times. I have yet to receive a paid in full from the PDL company, but instead get this message from a so called law firm. What is upsetting is that they sound legit and so many will fall into it :o(

hi ev1 my husband is having same problem only with a rachel. said he must pay 1700 or they will take him to court

I've also been getting phone calls from these folks. Had 2 payday loans at the same time, one of which I paid off right away and the other - from CMG Group LLC - I was just letting the "payments" come out every 2 weeks. Called and asked them when the pay off was only to find out that I had been paying just the interest charges to date. Asked them for proof that I had agreed to that and got a copy of my application. Asked again for proof and they said they didn't have it as it was all done over the internet. Told them that if they could not provide an electronic signature where I had agreed to those terms, I was closing the account which is what happened. The original loan was $300 and I paid them over $700, so as far as I'm concerned we're good. Anyhoo, have gotten several calls from LDG with almost identical scripts; the first 2 calls from Mr. Bronson and the last 2 from Rachel. Rachel called again today trying to find me and using big words like "expeditiously" and now they're claiming it's because of a check fraud issue. I know they have the right info about me because she used the last 4 numbers of my social and they were correct. They've never sent anything in writing claiming to verify the debt and it's clear to me that they're fishing for anything that they can use. The only thing that concerns me a little bit in the back of my mind is the fact that they do have my info, including my social, and there is the potential for punitive action on their part in terms of identify theft or something along those lines. You can believe I'm going to be monitoring my credit report on a monthly basis from here on out.

They are a complete scam...They scammed me for $375.00. All they are doing is threating you to scare you, but dont fall for it.

I received a call from this company as well and they were down right rude to me. They informed me that I defaulted on two payday loans online which I did. They told me if I don't proceed with this matter, further action will be help upon me. They are asking for a settlement from me and I don't know how to proceed from here. I've read all your testimonies on this forum and now I'm a little hesitant to give them any information. I'm scared and don't know what to do from here.

They are a pay day collection company.... You have a debt they are trying to recover for the compmay... They are ligit.. But becareful they are evil they will get into your bank account and take out the money you owe.. They sent my work a fax and wanted to no everythign about me... Including salary info job titile, and date hired and so on.. It was crazy.. Im the boss so I laughed I signed it saying I do not give out this info...
they also wanted it back in 48 hours or they were going to file lien papers give me a break...:rolleyes:

I am also receiving threating calls from Lombardo Davis and Goldman They went so far as to contact my cousinsaying that I have charges of fraud against me. They were able to give my cousin my address, phone number and place of employment. If the can do all that, why not just call me. If they have all this information why not send a letter to my place of residence.instead of calling someone that isn't me and disclosing false information about me to them. They left a phone number and case number with my cousin. I am going to call them Monday to see what they are talking about. Do u think this is a good idea? If they are going to accuse me of fraud, I need something in writting.

I got a call from a lady named merdith stanley who told me the same thing but she went further to say they are going to get me for fraud and she left this message on my v mail........

a bogus threat if there ever was one.debts are civil matters not criminal ones,and threatening that is a crime itself.file a police report,and the usual complaints against this wormslime collector.

I have been getting the same phone calls. They did send a fax wanting to know everything about me to my work. I happen to be in management and so the payroll people came to me and said they only had to leagally tell them that I worked there and how much I make. She fxed it back and gave me a copy. I then got a call today with a message that they were going to go ahead with criminal prosecution and that they were going to serve me at work or home. They also mentioned that I would need to forms of ID (whatever for I don't know) and that they were then going to seize all my licenses (both professional and other). I went on to my county's superior court website to see if they have filed ANYTHING against me in my county, and there is nothing! The 716 numbers you are seeing on your caller ID are the person's direct line that left you the message. It's quite embarassing and emmotionally draining what these people do to get your attention. If they decide to take away my professional license, I would not be able to work, and therfore would not be able to pay them back the money they are collecting. STUPID! Would love to hear what others have had said to them and how to get them off your back.

I am sure you are aware that owing a debt is a civil matter, not a criminal one.

These guys do have a website. I was reading what services they offer. They are a debt collector and are located in new york. They find stuff out on clients through skip tracings. They brag how they go beyond just debt collectiong that they also will collect once the debt has gone to judgement or write off. I believe the website is www.ldgfirm.com

I have been called many times by these people. (Bridgette) is the name given but everytime i call her she is never in. they say they collect for online advance paydays. She also said she was going to send it to my county. That info is not hard to get you just have to gogle your name and it will give your last address. if its real let them send it to the courts.

Wow these guys will to any measures to collect a debt even if it is knowingly breaking the laws that were put in place to protect people in debt if these low life bottom feeders are calling you contact me asap let's get these scumbags on recording and protect your legal rights.

Please stop posting your email address, you are breaking the rules by doing so, it has been removed.

To anyone on this forum that have dealt with Lombardo, Davis, and Goldman Firm. I received an e-mail from the Attorney General of New York stating that they are doing a full on investigation with this firm claiming to be a law firm where entirely they are a debt collection agency that has been violating the FDCPA rules. They are now asking for statements to anyone whose dealt with them and the Attorney General will put a stop to this firm once and for all.

i just got a call..ive been in the collection business for 20 years here what you need to know....WHEN THEY SAY THEY FILED A COMPLAINT, THAT MEANS SUIT....THAT IS AN FDCPA VIOLATION..THEY ARE MERELY A COLLECTION AGENCY THAT USES STRONG ARM TACTICS TO COLLECT...THEY THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW....MOST SCUMBAG AGENCIES SETTLE IN THE BUFFALO NY AREA....IF THEY CALL YOU ON YOUR CELL PHONE, TRY TO RECORD THE CALL....I JUST BAGGED THIS GUY WITH 5 LAW VIOLATIONS.

For those of you on this forum that has dealt with Lombardo, Davis, and Goldman Firm. They are right now being investigated by the NY Fraud Representative with the Attorney's General. I received an e-mail from them to give my statement on how L, D, and G contacted to begin with and when did the harrassment all begin. If I have any other details or any information, I will let everyone know.

They are sending me the the same meesages and hav already got money from me. waht should I do?:neutral:

I got calls from a Ms. Stjames. Has anyone else got them from her?

o do tell!!!!!!:p

:evil::evil:Dear Sir,
If you would be so kind I would trully love to know the physical address of this bogos law firm. I am a police officer who had his identity stolen and some whack job or jobs has applied for a ton of pay day loans. I am in the throes of trying to trace the bastard or bastards responsible and I think the folks you worked for are possibly responsible. I am pursuing all the LEGAL action I can, but you know there is nothing like good ole fashion whoop ass!!!!!
If you can possibly direct me to a good physical location I would enjoy paying Mr. Davis and associates a visit................and I promise there won't be any further problems from these retards. Thanks Please reply soon.

I'm trying to report Lomardo, Davis, and Goldman to the BBB, but can not find any infor and they won't give me any info. They won't tell me who they are representing, just that they claim to be filing me for court in my county and leaving crazy messsages on my cell and calling my work number from all different numbers.

You need to call your AG and NY AG make complaints. I did, they are harrassing me aswell. I made my complaint this morning. Hope it works out for you
