Is this legit?

Is this legit?

Is WHAT legit? All Donald said was he got a call. Neither of you gave any information so how can anyone tell you if it's legit or not. What did your caller say? What was on the caller ID?

They said something about some documents needed to be delivered to me and gave this number to call

Unknown name in called is and the number is 8888450615

Unknown number on caller id and this number

I also received a phone call from this number and they said that I own a certain amount of money and that I needed to pay and that they have legal documentation  for me and if I didn't cooperate they would be going to  my employer to garnish my wages I don't know if it's a scam cause I did owe a bank back in 2005 but why would they be trying me now in 2018

I too got a call from that number stating I have documents to be delivered to me from 11:30am - 4pm and I am to call back at this number. It came through my phone as private number.

They called me again and left message.   I answered them a couple weeks ago, She said they were going to have documents delivered the next day by special delivery. I was home all day.  Never showed up.

Of course it is a scam.

Criminals are masquerading as debt collectors in an attempt to extort money from people by scaring them into believing that:
a.    You are going to be sued and it will cost you lots of money when they allegedly “win” their case.
b.    That they are about to file criminal charges or that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, even though debt is civil not criminal, there are no criminal charges, and debtor’s prison was outlawed over 200 years ago.
c.    That they will take away your driver’s license.
d.    That will garnish your wages without actually being suing you, going to court, or even winning a case and obtaining a judgement followed by a judge’s consent to the garnishment.  They also claim that your wages will be garnished in amounts far above all legal limits.

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 they 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 have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually 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.

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.

I received an UNKNOWN call on my cell phone.  Tricia Carter (so she said) advised I needed to call her back at 1-888-845-0615 with a case file number of 121914 or legal action would be taken.  Odd thing is, the person she is looking for is the ex-wife of my husband.  Unsure how they have my number since the woman has never even spoken to me.

This is the second they called. A Terry Mitchell ( so she said) says its important that I call back case number 119274. This time she said I have been notified. Last time she said I have been served!!!!

Its a scam. Dont give them any information. Tell them to kick rocks!

Have received two calls several weeks apart from their blocked number.  Trying to collect on a canceled debt that has also been out of the statute of limitations for years--not going to happen.  Imagine any legitimate company never identifying themselves by name, blocking their number, not sending anything by mail, considering leaving a voice message to a possible wrong number as being "notified," and saying when documents will be delivered so that you can be gone.  Clean credit, no issues, nothing past due.  I'll contact my attorney if they call again.
