Only judges can deem one in "contempt of court", not sniveling extortionists in a dumpy call center. Calling family members to whip up false drama is classic Buffalo Bully technique, not to mention illegal disclosure. The "pay or get served" routine is another treadworn empty threat, also illegal.

I'll take my one guess at the acronym: Turning Point Solutions LLC / TPS & Associates / GS Holdings LLC in Cheektowaga, NY

The "GS" is likely for principal Sam Galbo, who runs another fraud shop in town, Galaxy Capital Solutions. These are typical payday loan collection thugs who are allergic to legal compliance.

In October 2013 TPS settled with Maryland regulators for apparently violating state and federal collection practice law, working without a state license, and trying to collect usurious and unenforceable loans, probably the online payday kind. It was ordered to pay a modest fine, refund hundreds apiece to named victims, and cancel all its other debt claims against Maryland residents.

TPS currently carries a 'D' rating and a red-lettered alert from BBB, but no detailed complaints are available. I'm sure a quick payment to become "accredited" will goose that grade to at least a 'B'.

Never let bullies on the phone confuse extortion with debt collection. Honest debt collectors do not typically send their claims straight to a judge, and they don't take your ransom money to broker quick deals with so-called "process servers". There are no secretive "arbitrators", "assessment specialists", "detectives", "investigators", "mediators", "mitigators", or "prelitigation specialists". They are sweaty double-talking criminals with a script full of coercive remarks. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal.

Lawful debt collection is a process, not an ambush. Early in that process you must be given a specific notice about your alleged debt and how to dispute it. From there, you have a right to obtain proof of claim *on paper*. Federal law does not expect you to take only the word of strangers on the phone that bad things are about to happen. Do not reward lawbreakers with your money. Challenge them always, sue them if you can.

FTC alert: "Fake Debt Collectors"
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Total scam.  No legitimate process server notifies you in advance that you are going to be served.  A process server would have nothing to to with a contempt of court citation.  Ignore them and block their calls.
