received a call from a Kelly Whitmore of Pre Trial Prevention Services stating there are 2 felony affidavits against me and will be filed in my county today if I don't return the call. Why would a company file motion against me from Charlotte when I'm located in NY? They called my mother and gave her a number to give me 704-840-1408.

Total scam. ONly judges issue warrants and they are only issued in criminal cases. They are only issued to duly consituted law enforcement officers and are only served in hand. Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you cannot be arrested for it. No debt collector has anything to do with the criminal justice syseem. This is an attempt to scare money out of you. Ignore and block the 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.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
If you don't have any old unpaid debts or anything else going on, usually, this is a phony debt scammer who is trying to intimidate and scare you into paying a debt you do not owe. They might call your family, friends and even your job. It's an ugly business with ugly people. I am assuming the caller leaves phone numbers and a name of someone you "should be contacting". If they leave a "business" name, you can google that and see what pops up. Often, the crooks will not leave a company name, since they know a search will bust them. I am attaching a link with some info that may help you, OK? Post back if you have questions.
