They are a debt collector dont answer

got one in texas today.  i don't owe anything so screw them

ReCeived a call on landline 9:16 AM caller id says FLORIDA. I live in Florida. I do not know who it was, so I do not answer. In a few minutes, phone says I have a message. I listen to my voicemail message. It is a hangup. If it ain't important enuf 2 leave me a message about what and who U want, I have 2 words 4 U and they ain't Happy Birthday!

called today 1:58 PM, We do not owe any debts, we are current in all our payments. WTF Is calling us? The caller ID says FLORIDA in all caps. I don't know anyone named Florida so why would I answer ? They LEFT A VOICEMAIL THAT WAS A HANGUP just like Lara's comment above. If you are going to call me, have the gumption to leave a message and tell me what it is in reference to, who you are looking for and what it is all about. What friggin pansyass cowards.

These people are rude and have been harassing me and family members regarding a supposedly debt of $100.54 from hospital services 5 years ago!
I have all the proof it's been paid off, the guy Anthony would not give me his last name or address.
Hung up on me 3 times.
Called me back to threaten me.
This is insane!

I have had problems with rude attitudes and have asked for an invioce twice and have not received one. They want to email me the ibvioce and I tell them I don't  have one. Don't give it out to them. The company is called Forester.

The next time they call, demand a legitimate, physical mailing address in which to send a debt validation letter VIA certified mail with return receipt requested. If they refuse, let them know you will be seeking legal counsel who will get this information for you and see them in court.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

This Male Caller threaten me said he knows where i live and he is coming to my house to make my life miserable said something about me owing money but won't tell for what.

Anthony claimed my mother owed for diabetic supplies from 2012. I asked for a detailed statement which he offered to email. Received no email after 4 days. He called back twice today claiming I received it and read it then accused me of lying about it and threatening legal action. He uses different phone numbers out if Florida. Verbally abusive and I would love to meet him face to face.

I am filing a complaint with the Florida attorney general regarding Mr. Tolbert. I recommend others who have received threatening calls from him to do the same, as his practices are against the law.

These dudes keep calling but then when I go to give them my family lawyers number to deal with it he called me a piece of [***] the can't pay my bills and hung up on me they have threatened my wife that they are going to come arrest us that to me is impersonating an officer

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt letter telling them to validate the debt or cease and desist calling.  Then report them to the proper agencies that I have provided links to, then sue them and make them pay you for harassing you.
