866-375-3036

Talking about my husband used my social Security card for a loan and used my deceased mother inlaw as a refrrence.

They called my work and it was a recorded message saying a complaint has been filed from Washington, DC.  Contact this number immediately

Left message using my name saying a complaint has been filed against me and immediate action must be taken by calling this number.

Same message but they didn't call me personally (my sister in law)  called the number they left didn't give me any info until I told them my inf...don't like it and don't trust it

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Left message using my name saying a complaint has been filed against me and immediate action must be taken by calling this number.

SCAM SCAM SCAM. I just received a voicemail from number 866-375-3036. He left a message saying legal action against me and immediately I need to call him back or further action will be taken. For one thing I am not behind on any thing I owe and have great credit. These Scammers need to get off their a_ s and get it a job like rest of us. And leave hard working people and our hard earned money alone. Just curious if anyone else has received same call from same number.

This number has been flagged as a scam or fraud!! Do not reply. Any processor or attorney will serve you with a debt validation letter. If they do not put it in writing, then it is a scam for extortion. Also see payday loan extortions!!

Turn them in to your nearest local attorney general. They get your private information and suck your acount dry.

It is indeed a scam!!

I  just bet there is no Carl Henderson or Christopher House. I just bet there is no company by Central Processing.
