This is a total scam. Do NOT fall victim and contact the FTC and your State Attorney General's office. They state they are the "National Information Center" and have an address of 2764 Pleasant Road P.O Box 10116 Fort Mill, SC 29078 for any correspondence. There is no known business with this name that operates as debt collection. They also use fake names like Regina Ward and Andrea Foster and call from other VOIP numbers such as 401-495-7021. This is a completely fraudulent group of scam artists and have no legal authority to threaten anyone with court summons. In fact, everything they are doing is 100% illegal and hopefully they will pay the price. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/when-debt-collection-illegal-0

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. Tell 'em no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
