713-337-2915

No one was there then it went to dial tone

I received the same call, except it went to voice mail. They stated that they are calling from the Legal department of CCA regarding my Checking account... I called my bank and they stated that they never called and unaware of CCA or any legal action... Possible fraud!

I received the same message that Chris did above from a lady at 713-337-2915. In the message she did not leave a name for who the message was for. My bills are not delinquent and I do not have a checking account with these people. Fraud ???

starting in st. louis today - indeed - it must be fraud!

They called yesterday afternoon and said, "is Rachel there?"  I told her she had the wrong number and she hung up on me without saying, "sorry",  What a rude [***].  I am not delinquent in any bill but a relative with the same last name as mine is probably who they want to talk to.

I received a voicemail from this company. It was Brenda w/the Legal Department. She was calling concerning my checking account and gave me some account number. I'm calling my bank today and also emailing our local news station to have them check it out. They love finding scams and reporting them!

The lady actually told me i had a hot check out from 3 years ago that i know i wouldve got something from my bank for but they told me i had until tomorrow to pay with a credit or debit card od i will have a warrant for my arrest

The lady Left their name MS. Winters I Will not cal back at all get whistle blow it in h there ear next time yes fraud and identify theft too. h

Did you ever find out what it was?  I just got that phone call today!!

Did you ever find out waht it was?  I just received the same call today!!

These people sent me a letter adv that I owed for a check from 2 1/2 years ago.  I paid the check off, but since I didn't keep the stupid money order receipt, they are harrassing me asking for the money again.  They use scare tactics, if you don't pay, we'll file a warrant & have you arrested.  I spoke with the court in my area & they can't do that.  They have to at least make arrangements.

they called me 3 years ago,and told me to wester union the money to her personaly,i knew right there it was messed up so i didnt,she also said that i would go to jail if i didn't,then today the same lady called me and tryed pushing me to pay her,but i told her,i'm on to you and you're scam,and you will not get a dime from me,she said well you will have a warrant at 3:30 today,i said i look forward to it

that is insane,like i said on my post they called me 3 years ago too,they try to strong arm money from ya,they told me they already sent it to the DA,so i said then why would i pay,she says well i can have that taken off and you wont get in trouble if you pay now,i laughed at her and said lady thats not how it works,im onto you

CCA Legal dept

This Ms. Jackson is now calling requesting a payment and threating me with via voice-mail that she's going to turn my account over to an attorney. This is a fraud call!  

This Ms. Jackson called again today 1/20/15 leaving with a call back number of: 1-855-276-3600 ext. 309
Case number: 382734607 Requesting a dollar amount of $128.00

As of January 2015 I have had several harassing calls from a Ms. Jackson threatening me with legal action over a supposedly fraudulent check I passed years ago.  Since I know this to be untrue I called her back and told her if she continues to call my phone number and harass me I will report her to the police and better business bureau.  I told her I know her and these calls to be a scam which she tried to deny but when I mentioned the police, she hung up  The number she called me from was 855-276-3600.

Good for you!

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).
