844-312-9233

The person said a case was filed in my name at my local courthouse. They called my neighbor's phone number.

Did you call the number?  I got a called stating the same thing and the lady name LUCY with a Delivery service call giving me the REF# and ask me to call that number.  I'm hestitated to call.

Oh PLEASE!!!!!  That is NOT how it works in the US legal system.   Of course you will now tell us the company name & address since you have these "documents".

SHILL ALERT!!!!

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

We're waiting "Sylvia". You were asked to provide the legal name & physical address of this outfit. You must have that info. You claim that they had documents delivered to you.
Could it be, "Sylvia", that you're a two-bit, lying SHILL for a bunch of bogus debt SCAMMERS? Gee, wouldn't that be a surprise? As if we don't see your type on a daily basis...
Skeff Ett Liv!

You are an idiot if you think people will believe your nonsense.  The only actions against you should be your scammy employer firing because you are a terrible shill.

Wow!  Does a SHILL get special discounts or services from their crooked boss?   You probably will get fired for lame shilling that attracts negative attention to your scam.

If the documents were delivered it certainly didn't stop action against you.  On the contrary, that court action will now proceed and if you fail to show up and present a defense they will obtain a default judgement against you.  So if you want help, all you have to do is tell us the name and address of the company suing you, their attorney's name and BAR number.  It is right there at the top of the paperwork they delivered to you.

No it is not.  In addition to reading Alfalfa's excellent post;

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.  Please note that process servers do not ever call ahead.  That way you can’t dodge them.

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.

This was the callback #given to me when I answered the phone. The original # that called was 772-240-7589. I asked the operator and she said the company was Fidelity but wouldn't answer any more of my questions.

I was just about to post the same thing. Anything legal has to be in writing, and anything sent to you will have info of both parties involved. It is a scam! The legal system does not work the way that they working it.

This company called, claiming they had a registered letter to deliver to me, and needed to schedule the delivery. They gave me this phone number to call, along with a reference number. So, I called this number, gave them my reference number, to find out it was on behalf of USBANK (or so they said), suing me for payment. I had a debt with USBANK a few years ago, and paid it off. I even received a letter showing I had paid it off. They requested I send them a copy of my letter, which I am hesitant to do because I have been unable to find anything legitimizing their claims of being a real company instead of a scam. Further more, they never scheduled my delivery. Oh and the original call, called my home phone. I received another call from the original number, on my cell phone this time. I rejected the call, and they left no voicemail. None of them knew how to pronounce my maiden name either, which is what they were asking for me by. I have been married for 6 years now, so I knew the chances of this being a legitimate call are slim to none.

I just got the call saying they had a delivery for me and I need to call 844-312-9233 and gave a case#, and paper work had been filed against me at the court house....ok??

I received the same type of call.  I did call back and it was a debt from 2011.  They did deliver docs but I'm not sure of the legitimacy of this business???? Is this legal????

If, as you say "They did deliver docs,"  then you should have no problem with providing the name of the Plainitff, and their address.  It's on the documents, right?  This will not affect your privacy.
