I keep getting calls from them stating I owe money I paid years ago. They have all my information, including any and all phone numbers I own. They also have my address even though I live in another state now. I no longer have the bank that I used to pay off the debt. I believe someone sold them my personal information in a data leak. I don't know what to do to make them stop.
Same Scam is happening to me

- Cottonwood, AZ, USA

A "notice of delinquent court fines" for traffic violation in WA state. Notice is claiming to be from attorneys at law. There are assigned principal fees, court costs, interest, and case numbers and my full name.

They contacted me saying that I had a delinquent court fine to pay. I checked the case number online of the court and found no record of the “case number.” I also called the court to check if they had a record of my name and address for unpaid court fines and they did not.

This scammer is testifying to be a law firm attempting to collect an unpaid debt for court fines.

OK so my experience is very similar to all of the above unfortunates who have been/are targeted by boiler room operations like this one. First, my recommendation to all, and what I intend to do about these pieces of garbage shaped like human beings, are the following steps:

1. File a formal complaint with the Texas state attorney general against them;
2. File a formal complaint against them with the attorney general in the state in which you have received your demand letter from those [censored].
3. File a formal complaint against them with the attorney general of the state from which that state, county or municipal gov't collections referral allegedly originated.
4. File a formal complaint with the attorney general against the gov't entity in that state from which the collections action allegedly originated. There is no excuse other than the prospect of a gov't body wanting to offload their responsibility with the excuse of saving money by irresponsibly outsourcing collections actions to a scam entity like Linebarger.

5) Contact your state's and federal politicians and demand accountability from the gov't entity that was irresponsible enough to provide your private information to a scammer like Linebarger.

When a gov't entity outsources collections, they effectively eliminate their liability for anything the contractor does that violates the defendant's legal rights. And that's assuming it's even a legitimate outstanding debt and not what Linebarger is apparently doing i.e. essentially establishing a database of address and names from various insecure sources, gov't entities (or from corporations selling private data they've mined), sending bogus debt demand letters to them and then seeing what 'sticks', i.e. people who are easily intimidated and scared into just sending them ransom in spite of not being liable for any such outstanding debt. That's very much like how American health insurance corporations operate - arbitrarily deny paying for needed treatment, then forcing patients to waste many hours and even days of their lives doing battle with them until a predictable percentage of those patients just give up and try to pay for it themselves.

But I digress here. File those attorney general complaints, I think that's a good first step. But you'll likely have to pre-empt any anticipated effort on their part to pass the buck and tell you to contact Linebarger directly to try to resolve it. Of course we know that would never work so be sure to demand the atty gens not direct you to do that. That said, I'd not be confident that any state atty gen run by the GOP would assist you at all, since that party (especially in a nazi, christofascist state like Texas which, much like states like Florida is a haven for predator capitalists) will likely always side with A Shyster's Fly By Night Law Firm. Nevertheless it doesn't hurt to try anyway. Who knows, it might just get you the relief to which you're entitled.

Got a letter stating I owed money...

Received a Notice of Delinquent Court Fines regarding: Speeding in a school zone. What really got me thinking was I never got any noticed about it plus and I’m always good paying any dues that pertains to us & my family! Work & school are at home due to Covid during the day which will restrict us to go anywhere during this school zone hours. I googled this company before I wrote this complaint and reviews there said it’s a fake company. Claiming that they also received collections bills regarding unknown traffic tickets. I know for a fact that if this is a real violation…I will get noticed of it few times and even have a chance to appeal and request a hearing. They will attempt multiple times to collect before sending the account to collections. I’m on top of my mailbox/bills and never seen any notice of traffic violations. Made me realize that this is a SCAMMER! Beware before you pay anything.

Letter sent to a family member telling them that their father owed back taxes to the Kansas Department of Revenue.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

My parents called me to tell me I was getting mail to their house. They live at an address and in a state I have never lived in before. My name is in no way associated with that address. The letters said I owe taxes for a year and in a state I was not working or living in. The whole thing is absolutely absurd and is not even certified mail. My parents advised I shred and ignore it. It's such a joke because the amount of taxes it claims I owe is outrageously more than any taxes I would have paid for in that year as a college student, except I have always filed my taxes, was working barely any hours in work study that year, and - again - in a completely different state.

I just a received an outstanding debt notice of $69.85 from this bogus debt collector claiming I haven't paid my tolls, when a quick look at my credit card history shows I paid the last toll bill in full, and the ExpressToll website shows as much. The people are SCAMMERS. Don't pay them a cent and report them ASAP.

Received a letter in the mail from the above mentioned "Law firm" for "unpaid tolls & penalties". First off, the freeway they claimed the "violation" took place, is no where near my house and not a freeway we use AT ALL! First Red flag! I researched the name of this "Law firm" and "SCAM" came up multiple times. Their paperwork looks very legit. They list 3 different addresses on their "Notice". The one in Cerritos, I found the specific Suite available for lease! They also list TWO PO Box's. One in Los Angeles (PO BOX 845879, Los Angeles CA 90084) and one in San Antonio, TX ( PO BOX 659443, San Antonio TX 78265). Ripoff report has this "Law firm" listed as scammers Cross Country! I filed a report with the Department of Justice & Federal Trade Commission. I HATE scammers that have nothing better to do than STEAL from hard-working Americans!! They should ALL be in jail!

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP sent me two "notice of debt" letters in the postal mail in May and June of 2018. The letters refer to an alleged outstanding debt in the amount of $51.85 for unpaid tolls and charges on Northwest Parkway, a toll road in Broomfield, Colorado. The letter does not include a date for the alleged infraction nor photo evidence of any kind.

The vehicle license plate listed is the Minnesota plate on my personal vehicle, which has never been to Colorado. I have been to Colorado once in my life in January 2018, for a work trip during which I traveled in a rental car registered to someone else. So, it's completely impossible that this debt claim is in any way legitimate.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson sent me a letter demanding a payment of $*** for unpaid Illinois taxes, no information on what kind of tax (income, replacement, or other). The letter stated that the Illinois Department of Revenue had hired them to collect on my debt, when there was no debt to collect on. At this time I had no outstanding income tax balance in the state of Illinois or had revived letters about penalties or interest owed to the state.

- Excelsior Springs, MO, USA

I received a letter saying I owed $856.52 to Iowa courts for outstanding court fees and fines. One was from 2005 and the other from 1997. It is 2018 seriously if I owed the state of Iowa any money they would have put out a warrant for my arrest. Every review I read about this law firm said this was a scam DO NOT SEND MONEY!

This group sent me a notice for debt collection. There were MANY things wrong about it

1) Claimed it was the second notice. This is a lie. There was never a first notice.

2) Claimed I owed on a toll way that I haven’t driven in over nine years.

3) Listed a license plate number that is not mine and doesn’t belong to any car I’ve ever owned.

4) After reviewing other’s comments on Google, Yelp and the ScamPulse.com website, I’m shocked that this company is allowed to continue functioning. It’s very clear that this is a scammer group spamming people’s phones and mail boxes to extort money from them.

This company will call you to collect on all sorts of 'debts' usually being parking tickets or express tolls. DO NOT CALL THEM BACK! They will immediately milk you for personal information and their claims are often false, inaccurate, or downright fraudulent. In case you have received a call in regards to a real fee or fine elsewhere is it important that you call the toll or city who would have assessed the ticket or fine instead. My collections call was for an Express Toll with plates from a state I never lived in which would have amounted to just over $3. The "law firm" wanted me to pay nearly $80 and repeatedly lied to me about where the information came from and my ability to handle such charges with the Express Toll company itself. I called Express Toll and within a couple minutes was assured that I had nothing to worry about. Paid $0, still get an occasional phone call from good ol' Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson.

- Wood River Junction, RI, USA

I took the Express Toll road in Colorado about seven months ago. Never received a bill and now all of the sudden tenants at an old address are receiving this debt collection and have to let us know via phone. The attorney was threatening to charge me more and more money until I pay. I did not even know I owed money in the first place. I have read up on both the Express Toll and this Attorney and both seem to be in it together to scam people out of more money for taking a toll road. I have driving all across the country and I have never paid a toll late because the state has always been good enough to send me a bill right away. I do not think I deserve to pay the late fees since I was totally in the dark about the original toll bill and its due date. Scam. Scam. Scam.

- Kearney, NE, USA

I received two letters from them saying I owed from a toll in Colorado in an specified date. The date didn't match any travels to Colorado and had a wrong license plate. They called me a year later and couldn't give me the date or any information and hung up on me twice.
