Same issues as above. Called my cell, my work number, my sisters, my mom leaving messages that I have a warrant out for me for check fraud. Called back and got transferred to some other guy, asked for written verification of this supposed debt. He just kept telling me the sheriff in Texas had a sworn affidavit and I would be served with a warrant. Again, asked for written verification. Told them the payday loan he was talking about was paid over a year ago and this was the third aggressive collection company calling me and threatening me with arrest in the past 6 months over the same settled debt....the other two allowed me to email my settlement notice which stated that the debt was paid and those two told me they were sorry and the wouldn't contact me again. This new one won't give me a fax or email address to send the verification of the settled debt to....just tell me there is a warrant for my arrest for check fraud and then hang up. So I called them back and was put on hold.....called back again and was transferred to the same guy. I told them since they wouldn't give me written verification of the debt or address or fax, I am verbally giving them a cease and desist request and if they contact me telephonically or anyone in my family they are violating the FDCA and could face penalties of $10,000 per phone call......of course they hung up. Told my family it is all a scam where someone sold my info and if they hear from them again to tell them to contact me directly and cease and desist from contacting them.....we will see. These people are horrible, just trying to scare people into giving them checking info!
