I have been receiving harassing phone calls from the these people and have tried my best to ignore them but finally decided to call them back today and deal with them.  If ANYONE leaves messages with you or anyone else threatening to show up at your home or office they are not a legitimate collection agency. If ANYONE leaves a message with your place of employment or a family member or friend, threatening to take legal action, they are not a legitimate collection agency. FILE A REPORT with the Consumer Protection Agency as well as your state Attorney General's office. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER. These are not legal tactics. Companies cannot give out personal information to others and cannot threaten legal action against you or threaten to show up at your house or place of business.

I told the guy today that I have his voice mail recording and will be submitting it as evidence along with my complaint. He then asked if that was all I had to say and I said "yes" and he hung up.

These people are trying to collect debts that have either, already been negotiated with the original creditor, or were included in bankruptcy filings. DO NOT SEND THEM ANYTHING OR CONTINUE TO HAVE CONTACT WITH THEM. Tell them you are filing/have filed a complaint.

Want them to stop calling.

Got a voicemail, name is Jordan Sparks, said he went to my house and no one was there which is a lie cause i know someone is home right now... cant understand the guy on the phone as to what he's saying, sounds like he's talking out of his [***], fumbling and stuttering a lot.  Sounds fake for sure.

David Lyons called my brother's home ph # & left message. This has never been my number so he must have done some kind of search on my maiden name & is just calling every number listed under that last name. Claimed to work for the county but did not pronounce the name of the county correctly...that was a red flag! Also said he was coming to my apartment & named an apt #. My address is a house...there is no apt #. Too many things here don't make sense. If the county was coming to serve papers, I'm pretty sure they would know my correct address, pronounce the county correctly and DUH not call first! I plan to report this scam to the FCC.
