    Julie, Do you really have a debt?  There's a possibility that you're being scammed.  In any case the behavior you're describing is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  You might consider suing them.

      Last year the supreme court ruled that debt collectors could not call and harass you.  You can sue them in state civil court for harrassment.  This is not the first time this has happened to me but they may make threats and that is all it is.  I got hung up twice trying to resolve the matter.   I then realized after I thought about it that they were trying to scam me after 7 years for a payday loan.  They threatened to serve papers on me at work last nigh.  Hah    It never happened because it is just a scam.   Do not send them any money or give your personal info.  I didn't.   THanks god they can go screw themselves or bring on the big guns as far as I am concerned.

        I also tried a reverse number lookout and could find nothing.  These scammers are getting really good and shame on them for taking advantage of people that don't know any better.

    They called and told me if I did not pay $50 in three days and set up payment arrangements to pay the balance in full within 6 months that they would take me to court and that I would then owe $2500.

    Telling you that you are "going to jail" is common with illegal and deceptive "debt collection" shakedown rackets, violating FDCPA.

          Both your own state's Attorney General, and the New York Attorney General.

          Many states regulate debt collectors, often requiring them to obtain state licensing, and that they be bonded, prior to collecting debts in that state, even if they are physically located out of the state.

          If they are bonded, and you sue them and win, if they fail to pay off a judgement, you can collect it from their bonding company.  It makes it easier to find an attorney to go after them if they can't just disappear when you win.

      Numerous "shakedown" complaints, starting March 2012.
      Note threatening calls, including calls implying "prosecution", and calls to relatives.
      Note several shill posts, some removed.
      The following numbers are linked by common MO, common use of alternate names, and similar numbers suggesting a block of sequential numbers consistent with a call center PBX.

        Also note the shill posts claiming they are "legitimate" and claiming they are "an arbitration firm".

        This is a common phrase used by Buffalo-area debt collectors to imply they might be some sort of "law firm", when they are not.

          The way you deal with this problem is very simple. Tell them to sue you. They'll never do it because they aren't even a legit debt collection company. To be honest, they've broken so many laws in dealing with you that they really owe you quite a bit. Every time they call you, just tell them to go ahead and bring the lawsuit. They'll stop calling and there will never be a lawsuit. I'd bet money on it.
