Called my daughter stating there is a "Pending Claim" filed against me and for her to contact me and have me or my attorney call them back. I will have my attorney call them! Not sure how "people" get by with doing this...
A scam. If you had a legal complaint against you, you wouldn't receive threatening phone calls. You'd get letters from an attorney and then a visit from a process server - who would not call you ahead of time. Block these losers and don't give them another thought. If you don't believe me, call your local courts and ask them if you're named on any of the upcoming court dockets. They'll tell you this is a straight-up scam.
Most likely a scam. ID themselves as NRG. This NRG has a bad history of debt scamming and unethical practices on 800notes. If someone has filed a complaint against you that normally means a law case. It is unlikely there are any legal complaints against you. You can check this out by simply going down to your local main courthouse and see if the defendants civil index has your name. Most likely it doesn't. These people are trying to scare some money out of you. A cold call from area code 716 with the words "complaint filed" is usually connected to some kind of debt scamming operation. Do not return their calls.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you 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 block their calls and ignore them.
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. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. 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.
