I need to call back because someone refused to sign for legal documents on my behalf

Mark from Robert Associate say they send me paper to my home in April to pay debt.  They call my job told them that I have 2hours to call them back or they will serve me paper to my job to come to court. I told him I can not pay him 25% of my wages. I told him I can give him 10.00 to make payment on debt I don't know. He say he will not take 10.00 he want more then that. He take me court for 25% of my wages. I told I'm in remission with cancer I paying doctor bill for that. He do not care he from California. He told me to call him back on Monday to discuss. What to discuss I don't have the money.

Sounds like a extortion scam op. But they have caught legit company's doing these things also. Neither phone, fax,email or text are legal proof of a debt owed. Demand debt validation! No validation, no $$ As per the FDCPA. As per the FDCPA they are required to send  within 5 day's of first contact a dunning letter.

The threats and what he wants are just that, threats and are illegal. I wouldn't bother calling back and if you answer the phone demand that validation

Also got a similar call about a week ago. Did they ever call you back?

After hours robo-greeter IDs themselves as "the loss verification department".  Just another scam.
