The chances of the FBI going after thIS or any other debt collectors are less than nil. They won't even do anything about the overseas payday loan debt collection extortionists who have been scamming people in this country for years. Why expect them to do anything now?
If they are ever to be brought to justice, it is going to have to be done in the courts. A class action lawsuit has been certified against them for FDCPA violations:
I just received 4 calls from an idiot calling himself Fred Hanna. He called the house and apparently spoke with my daughter and told her he knew her. She got the impression that he needed to talk with me regarding some business proposition and gave him my work number. He called and spoke with my husband (we are small business owners). He told my husband that he intended to sue regarding some account with Bank of America. My husband told him we do not have such an account and must be mistaken. Idiot then called off some social security number and asked him if that was correct. My husband answered no and idiot asked for the correct social. My husband told him not to call again. Within 1 minute he called back and I answered. Again he said he had spoke with my daughter and this call was regarding a debt of $9500 that my husband and I had run up on a Bank of America credit card and didn't pay. I told him he had the wrong # and hung up. 1 minute later another phone call. Hung up and blocked his call. This one needs to be investigated quickly.
Fred Hanna, the poster boy for BAD collection agencies has been around a long time. Fred and his group of sleazy debt collectors have been using intimidation and legal threats as a collection tool for longer than I can remember. If anyone ever decides to do a movie about the disgusting, sleazy, slime-balls of the collection industry, FREDERICK J. HANNA would make the PERFECT model.
If you receive a letter or are sued by Hanna for anything that relates to Bank of America, treat it as fraudulent. It seems that Hanna will lie on court affidavits about his position and most affidavits attached are bogus in the information stated. Fred J. Hanna is NEVER to be trusted, his court filings should ALWAYS be challenged, and he has been known to lie about trivial and major items. Fred is concerned about one thing; separating you and your money.
Treat Fredrick J. Hanna as the parasite he is, contact me for referral to a local consumer law professional if you are involved with Hanna.

Got a call from this number and it was a guy posing as an attorney, he was looking for my neighbor and said it was a "pressing matter" he said he had done a demographic search and found my number. He asked me to give my neighbor a message to call him right away.
This type of action is so immoral and probably illegal -- I am sick of companies like these, trying to embarrass people by calling their neighbors.
We have gotten two calls from this guy?? We just don't answer the phone. What is this guy about?? Has anyone actually been sued by him??? Who can we report him too??
These freaking idiots have called and harrassed my mother and step-father to death! The a$$hole who called the first time asked for me, and when he was told that I did not live there, he demanded my number - my stepfather refused, and he responded with "Fine, I will call you every hour ON the hour". My stepfather hung up on him, and sure enough he called right back - Sleeze balls! I have already filed two reports / complaints, and I won't hesitate to drive to Marietta if they keep this $hit up - cause I am just close enough!
I immediately telephoned BOA because I did in fact have an account with them - I was quickly informed that ALL WAS WELL with my account, thank goodness - good thing, because I have documentation in hand for every payment I have ever made!
