Follow the steps in what you need to know. A legitimate debt collector agency should not have a problem with giving you a real business name and address you can google and verify via google street view, BBB etc.

And folks should consider looking at maybe getting call blocking device or phone....you can Google them and many are around $60 or so.

It starts as an automated call, I got connected with a live person, usually foreign. They try to verify the last 4 of my social, when I refuse to verify anything over the phone they threatned me with the police in a county I lived in over 9 years ago are going to arrest me. They never really gave a company name. I just told them to have a nice day, and i'll have my day in court...

left an automated vm, didn't identify their company just said to call if i had any information on the "defendant"

Today is the second day in a row that I have received a call from this number.  I pressed "1" to speak with them both days, yesterday I got "Investigator" Harris, I asked several times and she finally told me she was with " Reynolds & Hill Associates".  Today I got "Investigator" Henson with "Reynolds Hill & Associates".  I can find no information on this company with a Google search other than this thread
https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-855-967-0061
They have all my information (name, old address, references names, dates, old checking account info, and at least last 4 of my social) from an online payday loan I obtained in 2010, I paid this off in 2012 and have paid in full documentation from the company that includes original lenders account number, I also verified everything with original lender.  Both "Investigators" threaten legal action to charge me with 2 counts of check fraud.  Yesterday I calmly explained that this case file they were calling about was resolved 2 years ago and that I had adequate proof of this, I was asked to be placed on hold.  Within 30 seconds I was hung up on.
Today I immediately ask for the companies name, after "Investigator" Henson gave it to me I asked her to hold on for a second while started to record our conversation, she said, "OK" then immediately hung up on me.  This is a TOTAL SCAM.  I'm just pissed that my personal information from that one loan is floating around out there, being used by who knows how many scammers to try this over and over again.  I even had someone use the exact same loan information but change the name of the original creditor last week.  When I contacted the name of the creditor that they gave me, it turned out that they did not even offer services in my state.
Be careful, get all of the information you can.

I got the exact same call..

calls looking for ex son inlaw, who is in prison for fraud! Could care less who this loser owes!!

I found ot through other websites of complaints that this number is registered with Ring Central Department. Pleas call Ring Central Legal Department at 888-528-7464 and file a complaint. I just got off them phone with them and they are going to investage this company and that they are a scam. Hopefully the more calls this company gets hopefully these low life people with get shut down and go to JAIL!!!!!

I just read your comment unfortunatley I was a dummy to I paid $545.00 to someone else from a different number and now this people again. I don't know what to do anymore pay them to shut tjem up or what.

No.  Don't pay 'em anything.  Get a call blocker if they are bothering you.  

Report 'em!

See:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Total scam.  Ignore 'em.  Get a call blocker.

See:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Check and see if there's some sort of a device which will allow you to block the calls on your cell.  

Complain to your local attorney general.

estas personas tienen como tres semanas q no paran de llamar y sólo dos en investigación luego me dejan en espera y cuando me contesta acogiéndose q son de una firma de abogados y q mi esposa tiene una demanda por fraude yo le pidola direcdirección y me cuelgan siempre has en lo mismo como puedo parar estas personas

Calling my job threatening me about some payday lpan.

I received several calls from this number.  I finally got to talk to someone and they was looking for my sister.  I ask what she had done and I was told that they can not discuss her business with anyone else but her but it was a criminal matter.  I asked them where they were located and they told me Columbia.  So I am thinking to myself, what has my sister got into and how did these people get my number.  I called my sister and she had the slightest idea why investigators are looking for her.  I kept telling her that if she is in any trouble tell me so we can fix the problem but she kept saying that she wasn't.  I couldn't sleep wondering about this and now I see that these guys are scammers!  People like this needs to be arrested!  They are causing family problems as well as making people feel on the edge.  I am pissed because they called my number looking for my sister and I have enough problems of my own.  I called back and left a message and when I get someone on the line, I am lay me someone out!!  This is B.S!!!!

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.

My daughter got a call from 855-967-2633. A Mr Lockhart at Reynolds & Hill Associates. Said they were doing an "investigation" in Ft Bend County. I called back and was asked for a case number, I told them I didn't have one and was put on hold.

THIS IS A SCAM 100%. They may tell you that they are an investigator offering a counter offer on a law suit, that you are a defendant, or that you owe them money for a payday loan, ect ect. They will tell you that legal actions are being taken or will be taken against you including but not limited to: going to court, jail, warrents for fraud, warrents in general... They may/will have personal information on you including social security number (or last 4 digits), maiden name, address or previous address, email or old email, banking information, contact information on your friends/family/employer. Most people who have reported this company have also reported that the calls started soon after applying online for a bank account, credit card, or personal loan. They try and make everything sound legit, since we all know scammers generally take a one hit quit once they get financhial information- whereas these people will "set up" payments and even tell you that you have to sign a 'legal authorization form' for them to take the money from your account(s). Do NOT fall for it!!

202-888-6334

The more people who file legal/fraud complaints on them, the more likely something will be done about it. These places can be googled to find website for filing complaint, so please file a complaint/report with your state attorney general's office, the better business bureau (bbb.org), consumer protection agency, federal consumer complaints (http://www.fcc.gov/complaints), federal trade comission (http://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-protection/submit-consumer-complaint-ftc), consumer reports, and the most important one to submit a complaint/report is The FBI Extortion Scam website (http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710)- the link for the form to submit is under what you should do if you get these calls.

Please keep in mind that any "legit" debt collection agency/company/business must follow certain laws. You can look these up online. One of which is that they are in no way allowed to harass you or your famil/friends/emplyer, and are not allowed to threaten you. As a former employee of a REAL debt collection agency, I can assure you that this type of behavior would hold legal reprocussions for the collection agency. All they can do is report it to credit agencies (equifax, experion, trans union). You will not go to jail for not paying and they can not take warrents out on you for this no matter what information they have or what they tell you. They may threaten you with court, tell them to bring it on, as they are a scam! and will not persue the matter. If you want the calls to stop, you can tell them you're reporting them to the federal trade comission, attorney general, bbb, and fbi extorsion devision. Chances are they will hang up before you get all those out of your mouth.

These people are calling me and my daughter stating I am a criminal and owe money to them.  I have received nothing in the mail.  The post office has nothing for me.  They have a accent from another country and sound very angry.  I do not owe them any money.

What will calling them do I have already filed a report

i doubt the voracity of this info.  seems too easy.
