Who are they

got a call

They called me trying to collect debt I never had

Hi, they call family members. I called and I do not owe the debt. they also gave out my entire ss number to my family members. It's crazy. I have an attorney looking into it. Be careful. They said if I don't pay $800 by 4pm they will come to my job and arrest me and they said they will call my family members every day until I pay. It's nuts!! I do not have this debt in question at all.

Don't know anything about who these people are, keep calling me or my family members.   Ignore.

This is a fraudulent call. Saying that I have a case number and need to call asap. Threatening and rude.  They called my daughter who in turn called me upset and worried about me. I called the number and when a person answered I ask what company is this. I got this is the Legal Dept. I ask what company was the Legal Dept. a part of. There was hesitation then the lady said Stark. I told her for her company to stop calling me and my family that this was a scam. The woman hung up after I said this. The criminals need to be stopped.

They keep calling me and now my parents.

Said they were a litigation company calling for archway holdings llc wanted debit card info said I had a default loan with them I never heard of them

Rude! A Leslie Fox (if that's her real name), called me saying that I had to pay for a loan (I did not take out a loan) right now or it would be escalated. I was polite and stated that I did not believe this was true and would like to be sent documentation proving I had incurred this debt. She stated that they (I never got a company name) was under no obligation to furnish anything and that I should pay up or this case would be escalated. When I said I still needed them to prove this debt was mine, she hung up the phone. I assumed I would be hearing from an attorney, but the next day, the calls continued to my family. When I called to ask why the harassment if this was going to the attorney's as she mentioned the day before, she told me that it will be, but in the meantime they will do whatever they need to do and hung up again. Scammers!

Third-party calls like that are ILLEGAL. They canNOT call your family members over this. Tell them you're going to file harassment charges with your local police. Also file with the FCC and make a complaint on the DNC site (remember that's a dot gov link).

Debt is a civil matter.   You cannot be arrested over ordinary civil debt.  Being in debt is not a crime.  We do not have debtors prisons in the US.

Most likely this group:

Stark Law
(May also be using the CID of Stark Recovery or Ashton Assets)
Sometimes say they are in California.  But most likely they are
in Illinois

Call themselves either Stark Law or Stark Recovery.  See my entry.

they claim to be archway holdings called me 2 days in a row saying i owe them 500 dollars that if i don't call and make a payment they will press a lawsuit on me and i wish this crap would stop

Said they were from a litigation company said I had a loan that was in default with archway holdings never heard of that company

You should know by now that the FCC has near zero oversight of debt collectors and DNCR complaints about that call category are an improper waste. Proper complaint channels include the CFPB, FTC, and attorneys general.

"Pay now or get served" is part of the normal roster of false threats from debt collection frauds. It's plausible and legal coming on paper from a real lawyer with the authority and the intent to sue, and there would be reasonable time to respond. Collection thugs lack both authority and intent, and often proof of claim, making their threat illegal. Threats of arrest from said thugs are illegal all week long, as consumer debt is never a criminal court matter.
