855-332-2414

I got a call from a guy named Jeff Davis. The call was unavailable.  Said my husband had a court case against him. He said the law was bringing it to my house. He also left a case # too... I think it is fake, but at least I could understand him for a change..... He left this number to call back 855-332-2414....

I returned a call to this number 855-332-2414.  The person stated they have papers to serve on me.  After checking my local courts, I found no information about any future court dates.  I believe this is a collection agency trying to collect on an old debt.  Any information on the company name would be helpful.

I just received a call from this number to serve papers to my ex husband from 6 years ago, they also called my ex, my father, his girlfriend and his son. What is this?

Don't let them scare you. What they are doing g is illegal. If they call again do two things. One, curse them out thoroughly, two, if they keep harassing you call the police and have them trap the line. Pressing *57 usually accomplishes this. Record all calls as well for evidence of harassment.  

There was a message for me at work. It left this number and a file number with instructions to call back. Said it went to a legal office.

Received a call from some guy who once I my daughter gave me the phone just starting telling me he has someone coming to this address to serve legal documents to *****.  Didn't even ask who I was or if I knew the person.  Because I was caught off guard I did admit it was my exhusband, but I don't see or talk to him.  He then asked me to try contacting someone in his family to them back.  My daughter is scared now that some man is going to come to are house.  I checked the court listings and there is nothing out there and as I explained to my daughter, they would not call and start spilling out all this information especially not knowing who they are talking too.  Well they called again, but I didn't answer.  Even if it ends up to be a collection agency, isn't there something we can do about stopping the scare tacticts.  It scares the kids if they are answering the phone.

See information below - from the Federal Trade Commission:

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
