Here is a list of all true Arbitration & Mediation organizations. This is a scam. Do not be fooled. Anyone who threatens criminal charges is fraudulent.

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.
Really? You want to give us a name and address of this wonderful company? There are a lot of people who'd like to stop by and have a sit down discussion with their representatives. Up close and personal you might say.
Jane called my parents and my sister and said the same thing to them about me. They just called yesterday and said I only had until 8:30 this morning to let them know what I was going to do about it or they would turn it over to lexington county south Carolina. I haven't lived there since 2008 and that's when this happen. They told my husband that they was having me brought into custody at 1 yesterday but they said that I have no prior record so their was no need for it. I have had 3 people talk to me. Jane Conner, Shelby Wriight and today Madison Graham.
This is not a scam. You have incurred the debt and they are just illegally collecting it. They actually own the debt so if you just tell them you will make an arrangement they will have to accept it. Don't think because they do it illegally that this invalidates your debt in any way.
Yes, it's a scam. If they refuse to send, by US Mail, proof of the debt, they are a scam. Do NOT make payment arrangements unless they send you proof by US Mail that you owe the debt. Just because someone on the phone tells you you owe a debt does not mean you do.
