I had not read Rain's info before I wrote my other note.  We too got a "late tax notice" from a collection agency.  I am beginning to put it all together.  My husband had already sent the payment.  Said he wasn't going to send it to any collection agency but sent it to the state where it was due.

Just got a call from a professional, pleasant sounding woman who spoke perfect English and just said "Susan L.....?"  She pronounced my last name wrong (it's an easy name) so I corrected her, then waited for her to tell me what she was calling about.   She thanked me and hung up.

My credit is excellent and I owe no back taxes.

Repeated calls. They leave no message. As this is a cell phone, I'm not picking up and using my minutes. I've never lived/worked in New Jersey so either they have or wrong number or this is a scam. Would like to figure out how to make them stop calling though.

Called asking if I was a officer of XYZ company. I said no. He then said he was working for the State of NJ collecting back taxes. He then asked if I ever was an officer of XYZ company and I said I don't discuss matters like this over the phone. He then said I told you who i was and who I was representing. I said that doesn't mean anything. He abruptly hung up.

I just received a call from them - when I returned the call they said they were from Pioneer contracted by NJ to collect a debt.
