Keeps calling my phone and my relative ' s phones saying I need to go to court and when 8 start asking questions,  they hang up. When I try to call back,  the # is not in service anymore!  Freaking tired!

This is a scam. Look out for it.

Just called my cell, left message saying I needed to call back to ensure some docs would be safely delivered to me.

i got a call about an hr ago telling me the same thing and that i would be taken to court and hauled to jail if i did not pay 20 thousand the day of court .

Keeps calling  each time different people all saying the same about documents of a court date and how much money is to be paid before I'm put in jail tierd of these annoying people

This is a debt collector.  They need for you to call them back so they can send out documents to you.  They say they have a claim number against you regarding a payday loan.  I disputed the debt and asked them to send me written verification of this debt and please mail it to my household.  They hung up on me.

Of course they did because there is no debt, it is all a figment of their criminal mind.

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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.

They called me and also left message with my ex husband about trying to get a hold of me to deliver some documents. I also wanted written verification because they said it was a payday loan from 2008 and wanted immediate payment. They hung up on me when I pressed for more information. I was given the name of Mrs. Stewart to call back at extension 515.
