Hoffstein & Associates pretended to be a debt collector for citi bank. They had all of my information my SSN, date of birth, my address and even my mortgage company. Which said they “we will be putting a lien on to collect the debt”. They said that they made multiple attempts to contact me via mail and this was the last attempt. We went back and forth for a while on a payment arrangement every payment plan I would suggest I could do they would reject it. Finally the lady go me on the phone with her so called payment processing department. Which took an initial $329.97 and I would have payments for the next 19 months for $315 until it was paid off. A month later yesterday I looked all day to see when they would debit that amount. Around 3:45pm est on 4/15/2025. I called several times to multiple numbers that were given but no response and still no even today. Please be aware! I’m in my 30’s you don’t have to be old to be a victim.

Here are the numbers and websites:

Rockwell Legal, called me about two weeks ago. They left me a message and said: they were going to serve me, and I needed 2 forms of Identification to be served. They said it was an “urgent legal matter”. Or I could call them to settle this legal matter. I ignored the call, and blocked them. I know for a fact, I owe nobody any money. I pay my bills, on time. Since then, I’ve got time several suspicious calls, and they left no message. I keep blocking the numbers. Yesterday, I received another phone message from Rockwell Legal. This time, it was a recorded message, and did not identify themselves. I looked the number up on the internet. They insisted I must call them to settle a “legal matter”. I’m concerned because these people have my name and phone number. And, I do know enough to know, if there were any valid claims against me… (and there are not) a credible collections agency would contact me by mail with details, and not by phone. I would appreciate it if law enforcement would be notified about this scammer, Rockwell legal, and these shady practices by this company. Thank you.

I walked in my mother giving this company her credit card information. She told me that this company is going to garnish my pay check so she wanted to help the $976.33 today. They was doing this without me or her signing any agreements and the credit card company kept blocking them from taking the funds. That was big red flags for me. No money was lost because the credit card company intervened.

The scammer called me on my personal cellphone twice in one day. The first time I didn't answer. The next time I did. They said they was from a collection agency and asked to speak with Tiffany Nicholson. That's not even my name it's my sister's name and my cellphone is registered in my name through the government.

I received a call from someone claiming to be Charlie ***** from the County Process Servers Office (no county indicated at all). They advised that had court documents that were filed under case # ********* (I checked the OK state Court Records website and found nothing under my name). The attorney for the case was Wilson ******, who's number is (855) 601-0174. They advised that they attempted to serve me papers to appear in court, though they were sent back to them from the address on file. To prevent a failure to appear in court or future legal issues, to call the number provided and give case number. I attempted to search this case number and found nothing at all. However, I did search this type of call, and it has come up in the past with people claiming this and it was a scam.
