I received a call. The woman stated she was from the "city" and they were going to serve a summons and wanted to verify my information also that I could call this number 877-571-5190 and find out what the papers were about and she would hold off for three hours while I did that, and they would give me the number to call her back?
Well obviously this company answers the phone as "corporate offices" they are calling you and scaring you with a lawsuit and getting you to call them back. This debt is from 2003 and the statute for collection has run they are violating so many collection laws it is crazy!! Call the FTC Hotline and report them @ 877-382-4357 also call you state Attorney General office. As soon as possible you can verify if they have or have not actually filed any kind of suit...I suspect they have not and it is illegal for them to trick you into calling them and once you inform them that the statute has run they cannot sue you.
Clark Howard also has a hotline on his website @ Clarkhoward.com
