This number called claiming that I had almost 2000 in collections and was going to be taken to court unless I paid. Didnt even use my legal last name; called me by my maiden name. When I said the phone call was recording they hung up. When I called back a different voice answered and identified themselves as the "processing center" and when I asked for what company, the man said "look I cant help you with your number blocked" and hung up on me!

I received multiple call from this no. One person's name is Kenneth. He harassed me and told me that he is putting lien against my home, he said I will be served at my job he is already called the county sheriff . He called every single person with the same last name as mine, he called my job several time and once he was told not to make a call at work he call with different names.
If somebody can help me. Let me know.
This guy keeps calling and threatening that I will be sued if I don't return his calls. I think what he's doing is illegal. They have to state the disclaimer that they are a debt collector, etc etc
A phone call, email or text message from a supposed debt collector is not legally sufficient evidence of debt.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) includes statements such as this:
* Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money. ["Written" means snailmailed ... not emailed or texted]
Therefore, if that caller wants you to pay immediately, before you get the written validation notice via snailmail, or if the caller wants payment via green dot, Western Union, or other untraceable means, then the call is definitely not legitimate.
IF you wish to communicate with the supposed collector / creditor, visit the following page, for example "Action Letters" to snailmail:

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

I got a call from this number a while back. A guy called mr rasmussen said he has a file complaint in his office and need to pay the debt. I asked him to send me written information regarding the debt and he said he won't.I received email saying I agreed to pay the debt and need to pay it on the same day. I did not respond. I got another voicemail stating if I don't call them and pay them the agreed amount they will release my file to their attorney. After a month I got a voicemail again saying they would like me to take advantage of their offer and call them by 6 pm or else they will make decision on my behalf. Wtf are these people doing!!!
