Harnessing phone calls for a debt that was not mine. Threatening to file charges and take me to cour
Complaint

Country: United States
A man named Dale Burch called and told me I was being served for a debt from early 2000. He had the last four digits of my ss#. Demanded that I pay full amount or 3 payments or I would be summoned to court which could cost up to 10 times what the original debt was. I have no such debt and even if I did, there is a statute of limitations. I asked for something in writing showing that this was truly my debt. They said it had already been sent to me and it didn't matter if I had not received it. This is a scam, and if they call me again, I will sue them!

As you know, the "debt" is fake, nothing was sent to you, and they're just a bunch of liars.
If they actually had anything real, they would have complied with FDCPA, sent you a notice by US Mail, and not threatened actions they can't take (another FDCPA violation).
What phone numbers?
Got irate when I stated I have documentation from the bank that no debt was owed, and then magically brought up 3 other items.
Big scam.
Of course no letters sent to me, although they said they have sent.
Big scam, never say you owe on an old debt. or that you might, not ever, can restart clock.
