855-329-7126

I believe a collection agency. Threatened to serve me with court papers for someone else and would not disclose who they were even after being asked.

Said they were the "clerks office" with papers for the property at "..." which is the property in which I live and which is attached to the land line that they called.

They called me and said I owed them from a Capital One account that I have already paid off. The person I spoke with was named Rose Davis & she was extremely rude. Said I would be served papers today at work.

same thing happened to me. over a cc in 2007. threatened to serve me at my work. what did you guys do?

A scam...they contacted my work; gotten so much personal information about my work and use that as a way to threaten me; and say there is documents being sent to the clerk's office then give my address and my work address; and documents will be served upon me.

A bunch of crooks.

855-329-7126 Keeps calling and saying they have document number Txxxx-xxxxx to serve me.  I have no idea what this is!  I'm not late or past due on anything.  I have no judgments against me.  It's got to be a scam to pry personal information from people.

same here called me several times,and i inquired who this caller is,a lady named carla instructed me to call this number w/ a case file number.she even called our HR.is this not harrasment?

My youngest children are twin boys age 25. On 9/18/2013 at about 5 pm one of my twins future mother in law received a call from a restricted number, in answering it she was told that if my twin Tyler did not return their call they would have a lien put on their property and would be taken into custody. Tyler of course called them, only to find out they wanted my other son Clinton. So Tyler contacted him and Clinton returned their call. He was told he owed 2500.00 on a Capital One CC.
Clinton had gotten a cc from Capital One 7 yrs ago before going to college. The limit was 300.00 of which he hadn't paid unfortunately. He explained he didn't have the money but could he set up a payment plan. She told him they couldn't do a payment plan but if he could pay 700.00 by 9/19/2013, they would drop the collection against him.
While this was happening I myself received a call from a restricted number which I didn't answer. The same lady left a message stating my address and that if I didn't respond papers were waiting at their clerks office to be given to me and that my employer would be contacted.
My son called me in a panick and we put two and two together and came up with it was the same lady and number 855-329-7126.
Not disputing that my son did owe on the cc but I couldn't believe this was legal. To call and threaten people that weren't even liable like my other twin or his future mother law was unbelievable .. let alone an embarassment to my son and future family. They had no right to let anyone know about Clinton's business.
Thank goodness for sites like this I have learned so much about this scam!!!

Please see my post above! They actually can't do anything like that and its illegal for them to threaten you! Nor is it legal for them to call and say this to others. Read the laws above and follow the steps given over on the side bar under latest articles:

Take steps to fight back and do report them. If you can get a actual address to send them the letters recommended and get a law suit on them, they could end up owing him more!   Also, all of you should file reports.

The moron who called you is a scammer.  You describe several FDCPA violations in your post.  If the nitwit truly had the right to collect the debt, your son would have received mail from them already.
 Do NOT give this criminal any information.  If you do talk to them again, demand they give you their mailing address (I doubt they will, but you can try.).  Then certified-mail them a letter demanding validation of the debt.  Sounds like you'd also have good grounds for a lawsuit.

GMTA ;-)

Absolutely! ;)

You said you owed the debt.  Paying a debt that you owe is nothing to brag about.   Its those people here who do not acknowledge owing any debt that questions why they are being called.   Why should these people pay an alleged debt that isn't theirs?   You are implying guilt and since you are just a person who happened to show up here,   "snicker snicker",   you have no knowledge of who does and who does not owe.  I wouldn't pay a dime to anyone over the phone,  especially without some very serious written validation.  The question not being do I or do I not owe the debt,   but do you have the validation and cajones to legally collect the alleged debt in court.  If I don't owe it,  then you are going to have a tough time coming up with what it takes to collect.

Ya know, people have every right to gripe when they aren't the ones who owe the debt. Why don't you spend a few weeks getting several calls a day for a debt you don't owe, despite having told the company that you are NOT that person they are looking for, and see how you feel about it then.

Then knock off the calls and I'll quit bitching.  If I was fool enough to loan you 1000 dollars,  I would definitely have enough to validate the debt.   You owe it,   you pay it.   If I were to lend you 1000 dollars,  unless I can validate the claim,  you don't owe me a damn dime.   I'm just another voice over the phone.
Of course let's be realistic.   I wouldn't be fool enough to lend you 10  dollars much less 1000.  You should have paid your bill before it went into collection if you don't like them contacting your family and your job.  
You should also be smart enough to know how to handle that type of thing and put a stop to it.   That is unless your SCAMMER refuses to abide.  If I were their families,  I'd put a stop to that too.  That is unless you,  as the scammer,  continued to violate the FDCPA.  You sound like the kind of person that would rob granny of her social security and little Johnny of his school lunch money if you thought you could get away with it.  Apparently you are the type of person who would get a credit card,  knowing that you can't pay it off since you started your posts stating that they had to run you down through your work and family to collect.
You are a piss-ant.  You would have to validate your blood type and shoe size to collect off of any intelligent person.

What you fail to understand is that there is no PROOF offered that the caller is the legitimate owner of the debt in question (If there even is a debt owed by the recipient of the calls).  The whole reason the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created and legislated into law was to protect consumers from extortion and wrongful attempts to collect alleged debts and to prevent harassment.  The vast majority of calls from collection agencies reported here on 800notes all violate one or more aspects of that law and very many are nothing but outright scams and attempted extortion by foreign crime syndicates.  No one, not even a debtor, should be subjected to the tactics employed by these so called collection agencies.

Please BEWARE of this number 855-329-7126. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS. They claim to have a court case against you and even go as far to give you a invalid case number and go as far to contact family and friends. They went as far to contact a person who has not been apart of my life in 20 years. PLEASE! PLEASE! BEWARE!!!!!!! They may sound for real but they are not.
