I received a phone call from Amy Lyles. She left a message on my phone stating that "she was calling from office of investigations and fraud for me to call them back immediately." I called back and Amy Lyles said she didn't call me. So I stated that she did call me. She tried to say she still didn't. She said that I was being rude and that she will send the police to my house to arrest me. I immediately was confused like crazy. Like what in the world. She called me back and apologized that she did call me. The time that she called was 1pm on 12/26/13. She told me I owe money of 1640.75 and I needed to pay that money by 5 pm or They will be getting in touch with my state and county sheriff office for a warrant for my arrest and that if I didn't come up with the money I will be arrested and ordered to pay 5500. This is all due to Aaron's rental where I rented a tv and almost paid it off. But I only owed 782. Which is on my credit report as of 12/27/13. So I of course panicked. But it's a scam. Under the fair debt law, third party collection agencies are not to threaten the consumer and telling them they committed a crime. They said I would be charged with grand theft. I of course called a consumer lawyer and my attorney general and filed a complaint. When I told them I didn't have the money. They told me good luck finding the money to get you out of jail. I asked for documentation she said when Aaron's came knocking on your door and placed a tag on your door that was documentation. Then earlier today they called me and said since you didn't call me back then I will be calling your sheriffs office and a warrant will be out for you, good luck getting out of jail. This is just beyond ridiculous of how the original creditors sell you to a third party who harass you and scare you. Be aware of them.
