Robo call. Says serving processer.

These people are idiots.  I am not falling for their nonsense.  No process server is going to warn you ahead of time that you are going to be served. Don't fall for their bull, don't answer their calls, and do not return their calls.  They will eventually get the hint.  If you acknowledge them they will continue to harass you. Right after I received a call from them I googled the number, and there was no info regarding this phone number.  Now I see that other people have received calls from them.  It just shows that this is a brand new phone number used by low life scam artists who need to get a real job.

They called my daughters house for me I called back asked for address for them guy says y do u need that I said my attorney wants it I am filing bankruptcy and will add this he says we will push this thru for court before your bankruptcy kicks in and hung up

They have called my daughter today and left her a vm stateing they are looking for me and they have left me a vm staing they have  a warrent for my arrest and to plz call them back at this number asap. These people are scammers

Someone calls and states they have a litigation against me. They will not give company name, and they are very rude!They called my ex husband, my ex mother in law, my niece. How do I get them for harassment?

You don't sue debt collectors for "harassment".  You sue them for FDCPA violations and possibly TCPA as well.  The first thing you need to know is who is calling you and where they are located so that they can be served.  You also need a record of every call made, preferably taking a picture of the caller id and if your state laws allow single party recording, then recording of the calls as well.

Criminals are masquerading as debt collectors in an attempt to extort money from people by scaring them into believing that:
a.    You are going to be sued and it will cost you lots of money when they allegedly “win” their case.
b.    That they are about to file criminal charges or that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail.
c.    That they will take away your driver’s license.
d.    That will garnish your wages without actually being suing you, going to court, or even winning a case and obtaining a judgement followed by a judge’s consent to the garnishment.  They also claim that your wages will be garnished in amounts far above all legal limits.

One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  

They will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, “Law Office” or claim that they are a “Lawyer or Paralegal” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws, even though they do have to follow those laws, but they won’t.  They also tell you that if you fail to call them back you are "waiving your right to council", which is pretty much nothing but hogwash.

They claim they are officers of the court, or that an officer will accompany them, or even that they are sending officers to arrest you.  All hogwash.  They tell you to lock up your dogs and guns for “everyone’s” protection.  More hogwash.

They use the phrase “govern yourself accordingly” a lot, something they should do themselves.

They mention that they have received a Fax document, to create the sense of urgency and tell you that they are a “process server”. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.


It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and 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.
