Got a voicemail saying they were. Litigation company.

Called and left my name with 2 different people

Just rec'd vmail from number (female voice) indicating pending action, but no detail, just a "case #" with prefix "CA".

Just received voicemail from number indicating pending action, but no details, just a "case #" Anne Arundel County

Got a call from this number wanting my address for pending litigation.  Told them if there was pending litigation then they would have my address, and I hung up.  Seems to be a farce.

My sister just got a call for me stating the exact same thing, from AACo.  I don't have the slightest idea what it could even be for, I don't have any outstanding debts. I called and got a weird robo response.

Both my mother and sister (that live in Florida) received messages from this number for me with a case # that begins with AZ (I live in Arizona). I looked up case number and can't find anything. Have no idea what it could be. They never call me. My mom said they speak very fast and lots of background noise so unable to understand. Seems like a scam to me. Didn't even pronounce my county correctly.

Debt collection extortion scam.  You should call your local courthouse and ask them about the case number.  Also, since you live in Arizona, they require a debt collection license.

One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

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.

Also file a complaint here with the Arizona Dept. of Financial Institutions: http://www.azdfi.gov/Consumers/Complaints/Complaints.html

Spoke to a woman told me it was a medical debt on my credit report
Had no details yet they called my daughter son and husband stating that a complaint had been filed and I must contact them immediately to hold stop legal actions from being filed

Woman by the name of Penny called and gave a case number.  She stated I had a code violation from San Diego County against me and to call back this number.  Lots of background noise.  Haven't lived in San Diego in over 4 years.  Called code enforcement there and they have no records of any problems.  Scam call!

Received a message from this call stating that they have a package for me.. I told them that my name was not Miguel..

they called and asked if i was "first name" i responded "this is she" and they hung up. When i called it back thinking  I had disconnected I got a seriously rude man who answered the phone "Corporate Office" so I asked for who? he replied "Dudley law group". then got really rude and ugly.

They call eveyday . I noticed they call a lot around the time Thanksgiving and Christmas give me the start

Stated they are serving papers to my home today for a delinquent account from 2010 with Capital One Credit Cards. Knew my social and all my information. Also called my children, parents, siblings, niece. Contacted Capital One. There is no account. When I told the caller to serve the papers and take me to court, they hung up on me.

Received a voicemail yesterday from a woman stating they were serving papers on me and they wanted to verify I was home. I called them back and spoke to a Joe who stated this was a Capital One debt from 2008 and I needed to pay it or they would take me to court, put a lien on my house, car and even get my drivers license suspended. Really?   They had my full name, address, social security number and obviously a copy of my credit report in front of them. They also called my daughter and called me again this morning. I’m guessing this is a scam???

I'm guessing you didn't bother to read the other posts?

Received a call from ACO letigations in regards to a credit card debt in which I had  been a victim of $250 payment arrangement made with another company but then Midland Collections called months later wanting payment as well I told them I'm already making pmts they told me they were scammers. Here we go again with these people scamming too I told them to call my attorney for payment arrangements Won't fool me twice I tell you They did not once send any letters for the debt as well as for the payment arrangements letter must be sent within five days

If you made a payment arrangement with them the first time they called they would not be required to send out the dunning letter.  I also know of no law that would require them to send anything out regarding the payment arrangement either.

True, but I'm still laughing! Can you just picture an Idiot with Midland trying to call another outfit a Scam? Now that's a sure case of the Pot calling the Kettle black...
  Live Well,
