Never let bullies on the phone confuse extortion with debt collection. Honest debt collectors do not typically send their claims straight to a judge. They don't take your ransom money to broker quick deals with so-called "process servers" -- or your DMV or your traffic court or any other state office. There are no secretive "arbitrators", "mediators", or "prelitigation specialists", only sweaty criminals with a script full of bullying remarks. Lawful debt collection is a process, not an ambush, and you are due a chance at each stage to raise a dispute. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. Do not reward lawbreakers with your money. Challenge them always, sue them if you can.

voicemail from 8024388313 regarding 2 pending charges the county is getting ready to file along with the revocation and suspension of my driver's license and message said if I'd like to settle the matter out of court call Tony Anderson, the attorney handling the case, at 8024388313.
I retuned the call and receive a VM in which I didn't leave a message. Mr. Anderson called me today and said he had a missed call from me. In which he went though his whole speal about to pending charges for "theft of services" and "Fraud" that the company had obtained a judgement last month for a debt (this has not occured) and that they would file to garnish wages. When I explained that the only judgement I have against me has been satisfied and that he would need to send me paperwork before I would pay anything he said he did not have to. When I asked him for an address to send a writen request to he refused. I said this is a scam and hung up. He then returned the call and at the top of his lungs (keep in mind I've been calm and prof.) yell if you want to see how much of a scam I am put your boss on the phone; give me your HR department I will take your entire paycheck and you will have no money...I then told him to cease calling me and he said he would not and I said that's okay I have a forward to VM button, have a nice day.
Do not give this person any of your time or money it is a SCAM!!!
