Got a call they said I owe $5k and I said send paperwork they said they did but I have not received anything and they said they will not waste any more money they are just going to garnish my wages and they are contacting human resources can they do this? I do not owe anything my credit score is excellent the guy was so rude I told them not to call me at work

You cannot have your pay garnished unless there is a court proceeding.This is a poor attempt to scare you into paying a fake debt.

Thank you Yoda

just got a call,said they were with ara aquisitions or something like that. He was mumbling his words alot so i couldnt understand him clearly so i just hung up

Did not answer.  Checked 800notes.com. Sure enough,  they're already here. Criminals trying to get your hard earned money while they hide behind their phones and scare you. In person they are a bunch of cowards. Do not ever fall for any of there scams.

Watch John Oliver's YouTube vidio about debt collectors and so called "Zombie debts". That's what these [***] are trying to do.

They are scammers, when I mentioned they are looking at things that are 20 years old and settled and beyond the statuates of limitations they hung up, this number is listed on all the scam notice sites.

It's scary how easy it is to buy not only peoples debt, but all of their personal information. Makes you wonder how many of these debt collection agencies are even remotely legit. I had some moron call me a few years ago for my Father saying he had an outstanding credit card bill from 2009. Which was interesting since he died in 2007. They actually argued with me for a hour (which I kind of enjoy!), and kept telling me he was alive. Then tried to tell me they had a warrant for my arrest. Sad thing is, some people, especially seniors actually fall for this. They end up getting screwed out of hundreds or thousands of dollars on BS debt.

I received a call from some sort of arbitrator didn't know my personal business and my wife's name and they said they were they were business and they wanted to know more I didn't give it to him I'd like to know more thank you please respond

Plenty of information on here to explain it. Despite not providing a whole lot of details, my guess would be, judging from what's posted, it's an early start of an extortion scam. Supplying these characters with nothing was the right move, but you can provide them with a problem if you can completely ignore unknown numbers. I'd nobody's answering these calls in any way, they're harmless.

Got a call this morning from a female with some type of debt collection company about a debt I know nothing about.  She was sounding all legal and said they got a judgement against me and if I didn't pay they would file a lien against my social security.  I hung up.

Judgments are issued by a JUDGE - not because a debt collector says so.  You would have had a court hearing in order for that to happen.

Received call if you want info on back brace that they say I called about? which I never placed a call . the number is ATT and no longer in service.

I also received a call yesterday...several in fact telling me to call IMMEDIATELY!!!  Said I owed a certain amount.  I said I don't and it went on from there.  They would give me no info.  I said send me a letter with all the pertinent info.  So lets see if they do.

They called me a few minutes ago too. He was very rude, talking about a twenty year old debt. I told them to send something in writing and he said they did and it's too late, they would send a summons. He hung up.
