Mr Davis ext 3006 about a supposed urgent legal matter in the state of Washington.  I don't have any urgent legal matters in the State of Washington or anywhere else.

Bill collector for CRS.  CRS is in the news and has had several court cases against them for fraudulent credit collection activities, such as telling people they're going to take them to court.  They seem to mostly handle ancient US Bank debts.  The link for the story on the FCC lawsuit is http://www.insidearm.com/daily/debt-collectio ... ther-practices/

I received several calls from different numbers, including this one, from a company calling themselves "Mutual Mediation" also saying they had an urgent legal matter and that I would be waiving my right to input if I did not respond. Obviously, if they are CRS calling themselves by a different name, it's a scam.

Left a message saying I had a legal matter and King County and if I called today the client will rectify or resolve my issues but never gives a case number or anything to reference try to call back and no one ever answers. Also stating they were going to contact my HR for wage verification. Who are these people

Most likely this group:

GENERAL SECTION
Consumers have contacted BBB to state that this company is trying to threaten them into sending them money for payday loans they say they don't owe. A BBB investigation confirmed that the address provided is not a real address for this company. BBB has contacted the phone number provided by consumers to gather more information, but each time we have reached someone and identified ourselves, the person on the other end of the line has disconnected the call.

BBB warns consumers not to feel pressured to send money for a debt they aren't sure they owe. A legitimate company will offer proof that you owe the debt and will never ask you to send payment via wire transfer or i-tunes gift cards.

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment.

Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question.  As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes.  The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question.  Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else.  So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you.  Let the FTC sort it out.

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.  Tell 'em  no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.

You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking).   the only thing they understand.
