THis people called my employer to ask if it was ok for them to serve me with legal documents at work! company by the name of ARG, I have no idea who this people are

Don't worry, it's a scam.  You are NOT called before being served with papers!  Your employer needs to tell them they're breaking the law and THEY will be the ones served!!

They called my home saying I was being sued. They wanted my SS number or at least the last 4 digits! WOW stay away!!!!!

It really sounds like a serious threat when they don't even know who you are.   :)

This number called my home and said that 2 attemps were made to serve court papers on my daughter.  Someone is always home24hrs day no one ever came to our home

These rude obnoxious people called my mother and me when i was in the hospital and said they will serve me papers there and that they have sent mail to me. They should be arrested for harrassment and threats and using multiple expletives to me and stated they will see me in court and that I know where the f n court is. DISGUSTING..

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing—
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer’s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."

A Collection Agent May Not…

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer’s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer’s debts with third parties other than the consumer’s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

I too received a call. Bit sounded most official. I might have belived it except for the fact they called after 6p.  I think changing numbers will fix.  If not, this means there someone inside releasing private info.

Received a call from a guy saying he was an Attorney, Daniel Parker demanding I call him back at 855-312-9925 and gave a case #. This is a scam!  

Too many people on the planet. Too many crimes to keep up. Crime makes sense more and more each day.

I received a call from these people on my CELL phone, which I do not share with anyone except people I know (and am signed up with do not call list). Also, they weren't looking for me, but for my sister(totally different name) who would never have occasion to use my cell phone for business reasons. She does not have any credit stuff against her.  The caller was Rebecca Myers (no company name was provided) and she said it was in reference to a complaint, a pending action, file #132514 and said in a threatening manner than if she did not receive a call back with 48 hours that further action would be taken.  I am going to call this number to make sure they remove my number from their list and quote some of the regulations to them why what they are doing is against the law.  

Oh, I just tried to call the number and the call doesn't even go through.  Just a fast busy signal

yeah I got the same call and they gave me the same number and a case number too... BS I'm ignoring this crap...

They called my work saying they have been trying to serve me papers.  Then they said a warrant was issued and that the sheriffs department was going to serve that warrant between 10-2 at my work.  Law enforcement offices don't announce when they're serving a warrant, they just come get you.

The same people have been harassing  me also.. How do we get this to stop.

I received a call for my son.  They said he owed a certain amount of money to a bank for a master card.  They left this phone number for him to call to be   served papers.  This one sounded true, but after these notes on the internet I belive it is just another scam.  The person spoke good english and had a case number , bank information etc.  I will consider this a scam.  Thank you for puting your information on the internet.  To get another message directly to me on this I am #888. Thanks again.

I got the same message and just a few days ago got a message left from an indian guy stating an american name - yah, right!  anyway, they left call at work -- i have already notified my work that these people are scam artists and work is prepared to file charges if they do, in fact, try their scam at work!  My company doesn't tolerate such things.   Also, my son is a detective and is going to make the call back to this scammer .  No warrants are ever served announced -- nor are any files/charges threatened like they have unless papers notifications have actually gone to the specific person --- these people are so fake it is ridiculous!   I know I am changing my number!

They said I had 48 hours and then it would no longer have ant say in the matter no clue as to who it is

I have had my identity stolen so I have the police and an attorney working on this matter I tried calling this number back got no one but the mssge was horrible on my phone

They are very mean and harassing making you feel your fixing to go to jail anyone know who this is?
