Trying to collects debts on extremely old accounts.

Scammers do not give them money they had my social and everything called members in family saying I owed a back and was going to be sued do not believe these people they are very believable they are scammers!!!!!

Just had these people call me about the same thing very believable they are scammers I hope someone sues their butt for stealing people identity

Well that is not something you could sue for, however you could sue them under the FDCPA.  Now note that I said "you".  Why is it that everyone wants someone else to do what they should be doing?

Scammers! Saying I'm being sued. Liesss

Had my name right. My phone number right. But my middle name wrong and my DOB wrong. A woman called me from a No Caller ID to give me a case number and to call the 855 area code number. “Receptionist then picks up and transfers to a man with no foreign accent.”

called a family member, threatening civil action; i called them they had all my info on a very old debt that had been paid

I received a voicemail from a supposed county carrier that was attempting to deliver legal documents to my address behalf of my former abuser. They told me if I didn't contact them they would send a field agent to my home to find him. I live in a different state now and have not had contact with this person in over 12 years but given the circumstances of the situation I had to look into it to make sure he wasn't trying to find me or something.

Called my daughter with a faux claim about a courier attempting to delivery documents on my husband, etc. She called them back and they pretended to be a legal firm. The name they gave doesn't exist. Scammers.

That's how they are stopped. We had scammers call trying to say our daughter had defrauded a credit card company, she was like 20 years old. My husband had a long conversation with them and garnered enough information and used that info to contact that state's attorney general. The scammers weren't using an 800 number so we knew the area code location and state. All that info assisted the state atty general's office in their ongoing investigation that eventually landed those criminals in jail. So... don't just ignore these criminals. Be active and report them!

I don't see debt collection scams on that list.  In addition to the agencies I have provided links to, you should also report them to the BAR association in both your state and their state.

Whenever someone tells you that they are a "lawyer" or that they work for a lawyer or law firm, the first question you should ask is what state(s) they are registered in and their BAR number for that/those state(s).  Then go to that state and check them out, contact them directly using the information in the state registration, as these crooks have been known to research real law firm names and attorney names and impersonate them.

The fake process server extortion attempt usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case 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).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

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.

They called me and left a voicemail from a private number. They threatened legal action and then 2 minutes later my stepdad as he just messaged me. said some mess about a courier. then
