They've called me twice and left threatening messages. I called them back today and told them if they ever make threatening calls to me again that I will report them to the authorities

I have received threatening messages twice. They're telling me it is case number WYT2168. I called them back today and told them if they ever make threatening calls to me again that I will report them to the authorities

Who, exactly, would you be reporting?

Got a message to call them . I was curious and did .They  told me I have an outstanding debt with a co that file bankruptcy years ago . First, I never had any outstanding balance or debt . I am not sure how they got my # for its scary  how they will try to get money out of you . They treating to sue me and garnish my checks .

They call every day and call my mom’s number every day / messages getting more threatening every week. I demanded they quit calling me & guy that answered the phone said “I haven’t been calling you, but I will take your number out.” Then he paused and said “I’ll be seeing you.” In a very threatening voice and he hung up on me -
Not even asking for my number.

Ever 6 months I get calls for a Charlie Azigbo ? spelling ( I have had my number for 10 years). If this is a legit company, how can they collect on a debt more than 10 years old and also leave a detailed message that they are coming to get him. A s courtesy, I call beck to let them know he is no at this number. They will also not give a mailing address of a full company name so I can send a certified letter officially telling them he is unknown to me.

They called this morning and said “I need to Denise Griffin_⁠_⁠_ matters unfortunately because I'm unable to reach you by phone I may be actively pursuing you at your place of employment and residence⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠Denise Griffin _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_ contact the client to resolve your case file voluntarily _ do understand when you are located _⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ that _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ your case number _⁠_ WYT3360 and you can reach their office at 901-866-5971 you have been notified…”
I’m not Denise Griffin and I get dozen of robo/scam callers each week. I simply blocked the number.

I just received a vm from 901-866-5971 saying that there is case #XCM23864 pending against me.  That they do not have a current address for me.  Please call them to verify my new address.  If they do not hear from me and they obtain my new address then they will file documents in my county against me.  Also stating that they will contacting my employer.  I don't owe anyone money.  I just went through this with a company called Legal Processing 850-558-5680 a Mr. Cox who said he had a summons on his desk ready for processing.  Bring it on Mr. Cox.  Dumbasses.

I’ve been getting calls every day for a week with harassing messages about my work and home

Have you considered blocking the number?

I have been receiving messages from this number stating that Jennifer Zachary (this is not my last name) owes money and that they are seeking legal action against me.  They wanted my home address and place of employment.  They gave me a claim number WPY5947. They call almost every week for the past several months.

I just got the same message as Gman. Has anyone else gotten this message?

Yes, they threaten that they will come to my place of employment and I forfeit my rights to settle this matter when they "locate me". they left a number and a claim number as well.

omg! I just received the same voicemail. the computer even said my first name, middle initial and last name. my credit isn’t the best so i didn’t know if something was wrong..

There are 29 posts in this thread.  Have you taken the time to read anything past the first post to get your answer?

For those of you who would like to know what is going on and have taken the time to read farther than the first post.

The fake process server extortion attempt usually consists of the following:

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.

tHEY KEEP CALLING ALL DAY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. WHEN I CALL BACK, THEY HANG UP

But they can still post it on your credit report for 7. State statute just says it’s past the time for them to sue you.

They cannot wait 7 years and then post it figuring that it will be there another 7 years.  The 7 years goes by the date of last activity same as the SOL.  You are of course assuming that this is a legitimate debt collector which it clearly is not.  They would never risk reporting anything because then they could be found and served.
