Received a call on my cell phone demanding to speak with my wife. When I asked why, I was told there were "charges" pending against her, and the caller had "paperwork" to "deliver" to her personally. I challenged him of course, for his identity, at which he only gave his first name "Adam" and refused any further information. I told him to basically go to hell, and demanded to know what company he worked for. Finally he gave me the name of Nationwide and the phone number 888-521-2153 to call. He also gave me a "case number." Funny how he had all this info all along, huh? I called the 888 number, gave the case number, and was connected to a "Johnny Marcos." They told me they couldn't talk with me without my wife's permission. To make a long story short, she gave her permission, they told us that this was for a payday loan from 2007, which had already been discharged in bankruptcy. They had my bankruptcy case info also, but ignored it! These guys are bottom-feeding collection agents, their threats of arrest and prosecution are PHONY (you can't be arrested for a civil claim, only a criminal case) -- avoid them like the plague they are. Another name: "Andre Johnson." They are all D-I-C-K-S, and LIARS. They refused to give their company address, they identified themselves as a law firm, which are all FDCPA violations! If anyone here can get an address for Nationwide, please list it. Otherwise your only recourse is your state's Attorney General.
