I just got a call from these people, said press one to speak to a representative. I did and as soon as the lady picked up and asked how I can help you I told her if I received a call from this number again I would file harassment charges with the local police as well as contact the Federal Trade Commission and have a nice day. Hopefully this works.
In this related thread, Admin had to mount an "intervention" in June 2014, removing illiterate insults from a shill. The thug posted the same day the thread began, painting all who assert their consumer rights as "professional debtors".

Police are concerned with threats to lives and public safety. Police are not in the business of debt collection. They don't want another job chasing unproven penny-ante debts. Consumer debt in America is *not* a criminal matter and collector claims are not typically sent straight to a judge. Lawful debt collection is a process, not an ambush, and you are due a chance at each stage to raise a dispute.
