called and said they were the smith county court that needs to serve me with a lawsuit

Did you call??

Why would someone want to call a criminal?

Left msg stating he was a processor with Brazos County, TX, that I had a law suit filled by Sharon Holley, atty for RMA  Mediation. Also said I could call this number and send a cease and desist letter. SCAM LIES AND BUNK! The number from his caller I'D showed the real county courthouse main number. I'm reporting them.

Suspected alias of bogus Erie County debt collectors using the "RMA" initialism:

RMA Recovery Group, LLC / RMA & Associates in Amherst NY
reported tactics: court/server threats, posing as "mediators", hassles workplaces

FTC alert: Fake Debt Collectors
CFPB Q&A: Can a debt collector try to deceive me to collect on a debt?

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

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.

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Recieved call ref. Lawsuit/court appearance requested from this legal system.

These people have called from local court number and an AEP number. After I called a guy out on spoofed numbers and it was a scam he started calling me borderline [***], crazy, cu*t faced bit**  and said I can make a joke all day long and he didn’t like my smug attitude.. he said my husband wrote a bad check from a bank we don’t even have. And gave me a fake case number only to call bk and do the same thing with a different case number and different spoofed number.

Don’t give your info to these people. They get it off the web.
