This happened to me as well!! Just yesterday. I, unlike others, didnt contact the old bank (US BANK), however when i read these comments I was apalled! They called and asked me to verify information, threatening me of charges and garnishment possiblilities. I was so scared that i DID devulge information to them. Soon after I got online and began researching them and sure enough its a SCAM. If anyone contacts you about collecting on a TEN YEAR old debt DO NOT REPLY.

    ...If you divulged your bank-account or credit-card numbers, contact your bank immediately to cancel the accounts.

    After I didn't answer the call, my inlaws were called and given information that I was going to be sued due to a debt. This went on for at least 2 days then I finally answered my phone and the scammer told me that they were representing USA Bank and that I owed $1800.00 and I needed to pay immediately or I would be supoened to court and my wages would be garnished. They knew my previous addresses, family names and numbers, work history and last 4 of my social. They asked if I had received a certified letter from them (TCF & Associates) and when I replied, "No", they put me on hold and came back to say, that they verified that the letter had not been signed for so they were willing to "work with me" to pay the debt before the garnishment.  At this point, I was in total panic because I knew that I had some old debts out there. They even gave me the number to USA Bank, but when I called, the bank said that the date (2007) was too far back to still have the information. They "settled" with me for $1200.00 that was to be payed in 2 payments. I gave them credit card information and they immediately took $623.00. They said the next payment of $600.00 would be due in 30 days. Before the next payment was due, I felt very uneasy and I looked them up on the internet and found out about the scam. I immediately canceled my credit card and reported it to the credit card company and the Attorney General's Office (Ohio)
