This is almost the same thing happening to me. I'm glad i made it to this website and see that I'm not alone here. They (the collectors) were saying they were sending me proof of my debt to an old address where my cousin lives, it has never arrived. When I started to get calls about papers being served I got a little concerned, i feel dumb about that now. But i ended up giving them my current address, so that might bite me in the [***] later. I just won't open the door when someone I don't know is there haha. The debt they want is from 2005. Its crazy.
Same experience as everyone here. I've told them to go ahead & serve these mysterious papers, but of course no one ever does. Now they're calling all of our relatives stating they have legal papers to serve, and it's absolutely humiliating!! Is that legal? I've tried to explain to relatives it was a hoax, and not to provide any info over the phone, but some relatives still think we're renegging on a debt, which I'd never do. But I also would never pay someone who refuses to say who they represent! I keep blocking their calls, but they just call from new numbers and they call relatives. How can I make them stop when I don't even know who they are??
They called my husband saying someone filed a complaint against him. He asked from who and the lady said she couldn't give him that information that he would have to call some other number. He just told the lady to mail him the information. Sounds like another scam in my opinion. When I call the number back it says its an unregistered magic jack number.
Jp associates called me gave me all the same stuff being said here and I fell for it when they had called I had just lost my job and was under stress so I didn't even think twice before giving them my account info and they got me for $379! And now they keep calling for a payment and threatening to serve me with papers. How do I stop this?
They served papers to an address I never lived at. They also called my mothers ex husbands side if the family and my in laws! I've been out on workers comp for 2years and my checks are iffy. So in trying to keep food in my fridge and my lights on not worrying about debt from 7 years ago!
