I agree the guy told me he was a paralegal and to see my summons and that I have a payday loan from 2014 i was like who was the bank and they did not like that I was asking questions.

They called & left a message about documents connected to my social & name. Called back to be told this is a serious matter & I needed to give them my cc# before I could make a statement. Basic debt collection and useless threats.

Just ignore them, I had my cellphone block them. It's a scam. I work in the financial field and cannot have collections, bankruptcies, ect on my credit report because of licensing. Needless to say, I keep a very close eye on my credit. My file at all 3 credit repositories is clean as a whistle and I haven't written a check in 6 years. If you had legitimate debt, you would get a letter in the mail from the entity that you owe money to. As others have stated, it is the responsibility of the collector to prove you owe the debt, you are not required to verify any information whatsoever. Typically these scams will get you on the phone and have you verify your name, address, social, birthday, then threaten you with "legal action", so that you get scared and pay them money, usually via a check by phone. Now they have your identifying info and checking info... Debt in the US is a civil matter, it is not a criminal matter, you don't go to jail for unpaid credit cards. Just remember, if you actually speak with these people, make them produce info, don't give them even a tiny bit. If they want to verify info, say "tell me what you have and I'll tell you if it's correct". Even if it's a collection agency that's legitimate, they have to send you proof you owe the debt, like the original documents you signed with the original creditor. 99% they do not have it or access to it. If it's not on your credit report, it doesn't exist. Period

So this number called my mom. technically it was a fake number that called her from a local area code but then said to call this number for the exact same reasons people have said... Typical scam. Just ignore...

I received a call from this number. Caller did not leave much information, no name or company name.

They called me to. They are NOT a law firm. I checked with the NY bar association (they list a PO Box in Lockport) and the NYAG office. No such person or firm is registered with the NY state bar. They have been reported for impersonating officers of the court. DONT GIVE THEM ANYTHING.

They called.my.phone just now looking for my father about an apparent loan he took at a check in to cash place. She could not tell me birthday. She could not tell.me if he did it in store or online. Kept telling me I could contact the loan place to verify info if I wanted to. The loan these scammers are saying is from 6 years ago. And an amount. So I called loan place to verify what info she gave me.amount was way wrong. Sent an email to my father's email. And wow not today Satan not to day. And the number on the email is different. They have the message of collecting a debt in parentheses.

Rude, guy hung up on me when called to tell take number off. Called me names which I didn’t care. Think they are a fraud, never heard of company they said calling about.

Said fraud charges were gonna be filed against me from some loan 7 years ago and to pay them a lesser amount and it will take care of the debt.  Told him well do what you gotta do and he hung up on me

Got a letter from them, very professional looking in fake as all get out.

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

They are not registered in any state, so they are not legally conducting business.  They also would not be able to register as a debt collector in those states that require a DC to register.

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 (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “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 letter 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 letter 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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

Same message others received from an "Amy Reed" saying my social security number is attached to something and to call back for recommendation. I did not call back. Does not seem like a legitimate debt collector.

abusive and then saying they have my personal information
