Got a random text. (Satellite corp)

Not sure if this is a scam from 2009. Satellite Corp  stated they had current address , Last job I worked .   I owe $2000 dollars from a Bail Bonds

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.

Said name was Robert Carter. Posing as a law firm that is going to garnish your wages. When you ask why the credit report didn’t get pulled up, they say they chose not to report it because you don’t pay your debts so they just went right ahead to pass a judgement. Tries to threaten you, gets your personal info wrong and use some BS jargon to cover for it. Fun time. You picked the wrong troll to scam, Robert :)
