866-205-5871

This number 866-205-5871 has been trying to call me for almost 3 years now. I have gotten to the point where I had to change my number and now they are calling everyone in my family and my workplace. They claim that I had taken out an online loan for $1,000 dollars and now they say I owe them $3,000. They also had my address on file and now is asking for my information again so they can send me legal documents. The company that claims to be a loan servicing is LPS. I had researched this information and this is not a loan servicing company. Also this does not appear on my credit report, but they still keep harassing me and the police in my town say they can't do anything about it. I am getting fed up with this and I fear that I may get fired from my job. I just don't know what to do anymore.

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

This group of scammers has a long history on 800notes.

Stuff like:

• Constantly calling you at work when you have asked/told them not to.
• Revealing your debt to third parties.
• Leaving messages and not revealing they are a debt collector.
• Threatening a lawsuit when they do not intend on bringing one.
• Claiming that you can or will be arrested if you do not pay the debt.
• Claiming that a judgment will occur immediately if you do not pay.
• Claiming that they can garnish your wages if you do not pay.
• Claiming that they will put a lien on your house if you do not pay.

Demand a debt validation letter if they call you and demand it be sent by US mail.  E-mail no good.  Of course , they won't do this.

Do not pay them anything w/o such a letter, if you have paid them anything or are  in the process of paying them anything, it might be a good idea to simply stop paying them.  Any credit or debt cards numbers they have should simply be cancelled and new ones obtained.

These people are serious debt scammers.

Report them:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also report them  to the California Attorney General:  http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/collection_agencies10

If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the [***] are working out of now.
