I have received 3 calls this morning from TCA Processing stating that they have an order for two allegations to be filed against me immediately in my county. Refused to give me any information on who she was but wanted me to verify my social. Threatened to pursue me at my place of business and home. I have no outstanding debt and just paid off my student loans. SCAM

No debt collector can file arrest warrants. Debt is civil not criminal.
This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt. One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying. They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number
