This lady claimed to be collecting from a company I received an advance from 2 1/2 years ago. They are trying to take me to court to collect the debt. They had last 4 four of my social. I asked to send a letter to my address verifying the debt. She said I have no problem with that.....then she proceeded to tell me that she will tell the company that we spoke and to proceed with legal action. I said thats fine I would like a letter verifying the debt, then she said no problem and hung up. I have never had an advance with any company!!

! THERE IS AN ALERT FOR THIS BUSINESS !
BBB has received complaints regarding the collection practices of R G Financial. Consumers allege they are receiving threatening phone calls from the business stating that they will be arrested on a felony charge if they do not pay the debt.
Some consumers state the collection call is in regards to a debt they are not aware of and when they check with the company to whom they supposedly owe the debt, the company confirms there is no balance.
Consumers also indicate that the business is making harassing calls to their family members and friends. Other consumers assert that when they request validation of the debt, the business states they are not required to send anything.
BBB® Non-Accredited B- Rating
On a scale of A+ to F
_____________________
In any event,
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Also contact your local attorney general
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. 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.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them. Tell 'em no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
