They can't simply garnish your wages. They need to take you to court - and win.

The same number called me and had the exact same message.

1-800-650-6673 - left a vm communicated they would be garnishing my wages, that they had made several attempts to reach me, haven't received anything - I am elderly and ill

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it. You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this communication must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified. If and when you get that communication you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Left a message indicating the same as others, when I called back they said they were WDS, a litigation firm. But I can't find anything on them..

They are indicating they are WDS? I called the number and asked what is a WDS and they said it is just WDS does not mean anything and that they are a litigation firm

Called and left voice mail on daughters phone and listened to message.  Same message about several attempts to reach me.  When I called them back and gave them my number they wanted name and address.  REfused.  Scam call.

I have been getting these call for a while. Saying they are garnishing my wages. Sorry buddy i have no debt.

Tim did you call them back? If so is it a legitimate company?

I can answer that one!

Only scammers would say that, since Wages can only be Garnished via a Court Order and he would have known before hand and mentioned he went to Court already. So, no, not legitimate!

Same as the others, call about a court date/debt/garnish/etc. I have no debt & coincidentally just checked my credit reports. Scam.
