I started checking in bad check laws a while back and never finished it.  But the consensus is that most states require the same thing.  The person who holds the bad paper must send the person who wrote the check, or the last endorser in the case of multiple endorsements a letter, certified, sometimes also by first class, giving them a specified amount of days (varies by state 10 to 30 days) to basically cough up the money.  Then it varies.  They can sue in civil court, they can bring private criminal charges, or they can take the check to the DA.  Never says anything about a debt collector.  And the fees involved for a bad check are always set by statute.  Haven't found any that are $402.00 yet.

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)

Also contact your local attorney general

Scam.  Only judges can issue garnishments.  Some state do not allow them at all and other states strickly regulate the amount of money that can be taken out.

I agree with The Wolfman.  AKA Data Check of America.    Appear to be serious debt scammers. Ignore and block their calls.

I've received calls from 2 different numbers (559-573-8780 & 323-843-2533) both with the same generic message - that they are calling regarding a declined bank item and are going to execute wages 24 business hours from now. Yet do not say who the message is intended for and just leave a call back number (1-866-218-3402) and I've been on hold for 15 minutes, it is a dead silent hold, and have not spoken to anyone yet... I do not have any bad checks, I do not write them, and do not have any outstanding payments owed to anyone...

I received a call last week from 559-570-8780.  It is obviously a robo call.  They did not leave a message for anyone in particular, and stated I only had 24 hours to resolve a returned item from my bank.  I contacted them (not because I believed them but because I was curious) and spoke with a man by the name of Nick.  He stated I had an outstanding check from 2003 in the amount of $25.00.  It was drawn from a bank account I no longer have, and haven't had for the past 10 years.  He proceeded to tell me that if I had a computer, I could see for myself.  He said i had $70.00 in NSF fees, and they paid the payee on my behalf.  So, all in all I owed them $195.00.  I first asked him why they  had never sent me anything by US mail to validate the debt.  He said he would email me the information.  1st red flag!  I also told him that I was concerned he had access to an account that had been closed for years, and just because he had such information didn't make the debt valid!  I also asked him why on earth are they trying to collect on such a minimal amount after 13 years! He told me he didn't like my attitude (I am guessing because I was smarter than him) and that he would see me in court.  I told him I look forward to it.  Well, he must be willing to give me one more chance because I received the same robo message today from another number 510-263-5064.  They are spoofing numbers yet again!  I know that I didn't have a bounced check, and I also know I would have been contacted by my bank and the payee to resolve this matter!  I can only guess it's tax time, and the scammers are trying to collect on  your tax return money.  Do not let them bully you or try to scare you into paying.  It's interesting how minimal and how old all these debts are they are trying to collect on.  Make them prove to you in writing by US mail!  By law you have 30 days to dispute any debt claim made against you.

Same thing...they say they have a check from me to Joann Fabric from 1996.  How did they get the checks?  The bank it was drawn on is no longer in business, so did someone steal checks from a clearing house?  I refused to pull up my 'account' fearing opening their site might allow them into my computer.  I refused to pay a check from 20 years ago.  And I had just pulled a credit report, and nothing shows concerning this issue...from anyone.
They were calling in Dec as EMC with same threat.  Called in Jan using a 559-5738780 phone number.  Twice in Feb using 323-843-2533.  Now I just pick up the phone, hit 1 to get a live person, and scream as loud as I can or blow my whistle.
Maybe they will stop calling.
My next move is to report to them that I have passed away.

Just got a call from an 866# saying i had a NSF ck out and i had 24 hours to pay or id get a warrant out fir my arrest..i knew there was no way..dont write bad cks..period..on.top of my bank account everyday..so, i cussed the hell out of the guy, just like a "drunken sailor"...hung up on him , he called back twice..i gave him the same response..again..knew it was theft..im 76, and im not a fool. !!!Thanks for all the info here about this....

I got a call from this number to dispute a bad check written to Pizza Hut 16 years ago they demanded payment over $500 in 24 hours or my wages will be garnished. Scam!

They are calling every day at same time, voice record about a returned item from my bank which is false and asking to return the call

that i had a returned check from me and eds from 2003 and they wanted 35.00 or they would garnish my wages

Received a call about owning $30 to me n eds in 2005.  Claiming this will go to further legal action.

same as all the above. the 559-573-8780 # called me, message said to call back regarding wage garnishment at 866-218-3402. I've never had an NSF charge or any outstanding checks in 35 years. Total bunk.

Same as above.  Only I've been recieving these bogus calls for well over a month with the same 24hr deadline (or else!!) Finally got tired of ignoring them & answered. Spoke to some youngster trying to school me on how to collect a 14 year old bogus check debt written from a closed account.  I argued with him & told him the sounded totally like a scam. Didn't make any logical sense whatsoever. Yet going against my better judgment I Checked into their bogus website. Now I know it's bogus because their social media badges don't redirect you to anything. How they Got my 14 year OLD information I'll never know. but they get nothing from me. Wish I hadn't logged into that site tho. Makes me feel very uneasy.

Absurd threat.  Collection on a 20 year old check?  Should be well past the statute of limitations in just about ANY state.  I'd block and ignore the calls.

Total scam.  Writing a bad check is a crime.  If you were suspected of committing that sort of crime, the bank (if it chose) would have filed a police complaint and you'd have already been interviewed by members of law enforcement.  No debt collection company would have anything to do with it.  Debt collectors have no influence on the criminal justice system at all.  Ignore these people and block their calls.

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)

Also contact your local attorney general

Total scam.  Most likely outside the statute of limitations (check your state's requirements)  and a baseless threat since only judges can issue orders of garnishment and that only as part of an ongoing civil case where all parties are given a chance to make their case.  Ignore and block these calls.

Got a call from this company saying a check was written in 2006 from Me-N-Eds Pizza that had bounced due to a closed account... And claimed it was intent to commit fraud. When I challenged the caller about a ten year old check, and asked her to send me a statement of proof that they are who they say they are, she got defensive and told me she was going to escalate the claim to litigation. She was very insistent that I pay the amount and fees that she claimed I owed today, or I will lose my "settlement". When I told her that I wasn't going to pay on a check that was 10 years old.... She got belligerent and threatened me again with litigation. I told her I didn't believe she was who she said she was, and told her to call me Tuesday with proof. Then wishes her a good day
