These people obviously underestimate my readiness to go to prison.  3 hots and a cot with no work!  Bring it!  I'll even get a date out of the deal!

Got a voicemail stating that someone filed a complaint against me and that I will need to contact them for more information and to dispute the complaint.

If you are reading this, you probably received a similar call, googled the number, and ended u here. Hello, friend.

Received 2 calls from 877-351-2472. Victoria is how she identified herself re: case #DA 632148 She claimed there were actions/complaint being filed against me and to contact the firm FG Legal to avois them proceeding against me. In addition, they contacted my old former landlord from over 20 yrs ago and left a message stating they were looking for me for this same reason.

Received a VM stating it was an urgent matter regarding case # DA-632373 in regards to the delivery of legal documents to my street address that had been re-directed back to "Mathews" office. If I wanted to discuss pending actions that may be filled , I need to call 877-351-2472. failure to call will cause the firm to file with out consent.

Got a message to return a call to FG Legal Svs.  Contacted rep who told me that I owed a considerable sum to BankofAmerica from a business that has been dissolved since 2007!  Told her that I wasn't paying anything until I had proof of claim, she told me that "I only needed to acknowledge the debt"...(?).  I contacted BoA and guess what????  Thats right, I owed them nothing!  Caller ID was a local number however the call back was an 877.

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

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.

I don't even know who called or what group it was very vague. the call said to call because urgent ... da631013... formal complaint pending allegations ... consult with firm handling these allegations... 877-351-2472. I summarized but there was zero info about who what or why.

Sure they would.  This is the 21st Century and everything is available on the internet, usually for free.
