Ok I too received a phone call from him earlier today. The collection is for my husband & a very small amount. I am beyond scared being that he knew my husbands birthday, social security. The collection is 4 years old. Weird thing is that I was told he was being charged for check fraud larceny & we have until 10 am to pay it. I was never given a case number nor have I received anything in the mail. Also the collector has placed a no contact order against my husband. I kept being put on hold because according to James he had to be the one to contact an attorney to see what could be done. I find this a little too fishy!! Especially to make a big deal for 500.00.
He calls himself investigator James Baker. I don't know exactly what he wants me for. He also says he is the real mccoy. If it is for an old collection then the first thing they should do is send the notice in the mail instead of scaring us like this with a phone call. Good Luck to the rest of you.
Got a call on my cell phone asking for a Jody sombody - couldn't hear the last name. Told him he had the wrong number that no one by the name of Jody lived in this household. I had had this phone only since December
I think it is a company that buys out old debts. I believe he is only the company investigator I would not worry to much yes it will go on your credit but no this guy can't put you in jail for any reason.
I got a message on my home number. Claming is..........some of the wording is wrong. Because it's a computer voicemail messaging system.
