I got a message on my cell phone and it stated that there was going to be a suit filed against me for fraud. I returned the call and a Mrs. williams stated that I had a bad check with cash and go 3 years ago. The conversation got really heated and She said I had until tomarrow to pay 1,000.00. I asked what the original debt was and she said she did not know. She then stated she would contact the constables office in my area and they would pick me up for jail. I told her I could nmot afford more than 10.00 a month because times are really tough. She them said she had to approve it with her supervisor. Then she came back on the line and said no because the amount had to be paid in full. I got very upset and asked to speak to a supervisor. She transfered me to a Mrs. Robinson who was even more rude, saying I needed to borrow the money from a family member to pay this off. I told her I dont have the money. I told her what i could pay and she said it was not good wnough and started to yell at me. Of coarse, I was scared about going to jail, and I got very upset and she said get the money by tommarrow and then hung up on me. I then called back and they asked for my social security # to pull up my account and scared as I was I gave it. (im so dumb). They then transferred me to her again and she stated, its you again and I said " we got disconnected" she said no I am done with you. I told her its not that I dont want to pay, but I cant. She then said well then we will send it to your constable. I started to cry and she said well we can make a payment of 200.00 tomarrow and 100 every month there after. I agreed to call her back with my account #, but I just cant afford that. She really scared me and can they really do that to me? I am not going to call her back. They threatened me so awful and caused some stress. What options do I have. I did get a loan with cash and go 3 years ago and my checks did not clear, because i couldnt keep up. Oh by the way, I asked if they were a collection agency and she said it did not matter.
