Total scam. Ignore and block the number. Courts don't send out letters authorizing people to sue. It's up to private attorneys to file suit on behalf of their clients. This person is just trying to scare you into paying him something. Don't fall for it. Extensive complaints on the internet about this Mr Davis and his extortion attempts.
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now. If you can find them.
Everyone !!! - be sure to monitor your credit report as well as all of your credit cards, bank accounts, etc. These people are thieves and will probably do anything for a buck!!
You may be a victim of identity theft with all the recent hacking going on. Make sure your bank and employer is aware you are being targeted by extortion scammers, place fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus and report them to the FTC:

I have gotten the exact same call that everyone else on here has. They will also not give me any information about what the nature of the debt is. Just that they want a payment (or what they're calling a settlement) I cannot find any information about this attorney's office online either; nor with their address which she gave me as 6055 South Federal Street, Chicago, IL. It actually goes to an apartment building if you Google it. She also said said that their website is for clients when I asked for it. I actually ended up calling the Illinois Attorney General's office just to see if I could get more information and after explaining what was going on, she said this is a scam and they get several calls about this. Has anyone figured out a way to report this? I wonder if they eventually give up... If they call again,I was told to say that they have been reported to the Attorney General's office.

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
