Claiming a debt thats unknown
Complaint
Barbara
Country: United States
This company claims I owe a debt which I do not. Claims they will report me to authorities if I don't pay up. Claiming criminal charges. Complete falsehoods. Company is rude and extorts money.
Comments
2) Threats to "report to authorities" or "file criminal charges", rather than complying with FDCPA, sending the required notification letter, and if you request it, sending documents verifying the debt from the original creditor.
Typical shakedown scam.
May just be some overseas scammers, or may be a fraudulent "debt collector" in the US.
Was the contact by email, or phone?
What phone number?
