These calls are from a collection company called FMS. They have purchased loans that have already been written off. This is a SCAM. I had a few credit issues when I was younger and with my ex-husband. This loan had been written off in 1992. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION!!!!!

Do not ever give anyone any personal information. No matter how much they think they have on you. Just tell them to mail you proof that you owe them. They should have your address if they have all the other information. So do not even give that to them.
Also NEVER fall for the statement that they will have an officer at your door in ___ Minutes. This is a scare tatic. The police will not come and arrest you for a little unpaid bill. This would need to be taken care of in small claims court.
Now the only exception to this rule is if you are constantly running up bills and ignoring them, then they take you to court (mind you will be served with paperwork about the court hearing). If you have done this several times, then yes the judge can put a bench warrent out for you, but that is only if you do not show up for court and do not make an agreement to pay and do not follow through on that agreement.
I received a call from this number. They wanted to speak to a relative of mine, that had listed my family members as relatives on the application. I feel hassled, because the person they are looking for is a female, so naturally, they think I am the intended party. Its funny how they won't give out any information, but sure are willing to ask all kinds of information about me. Honestly I don't want to teach them a lesson in 2011
