Nope. Fair Credit (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm) covers you there. Debt collectors may not disclose details of a debt to any third party (note, however, that if you are married your spouse is not a third party). Reading around, it's also illegal to threaten you, particularly with an arrest, and it is also illegal for them to provide you with false identification. Looks to me like either a desperate debt collector or a scam.
I just received a call from Sharon Jackson today and she also stated to me that she was calling see if I can make a payment on a payday loan i had not paid back. I told her that I could not at this time but next week she told me no and that she was going to have my paperwork processed and then she asked if I had any felonys? I said what? I asked her a lot of questions she wouldnt answer then hung up on me. I called again and she state if i call her again she would get me for harresment. She to said that she will be talking to my employer can they do that?? Im freaked out....
I had a voicemail message from a "John Smith" from this same number. He gave a case number and asked for me to call back concerning a court case. I've had this same company or whatever threaten me before about 6 or 8 months ago. I tracked down who they were, and send them DO NOT CONTACT letters. I also reported them to the BBB...lot of good that's done. I believe this company is out of Jacksonville FL...I know I googled it before...
I got the same call from Mrs.Jackson she called me at 12:00pm and said that I had until 1:30 to send her 3,077.00 or an attorney would be in court to file to have me arrested. She did get me until I kept asking her information and she said that I could send the money quick collect before 1:30. Then it dawned on me that today the court house was closed. When I called back I got a Mrs. Newman who said that they didnt file at the court house. She gave me the NAPCS city code and a case number. She said that Mrs. jackson is out and to contact her in the morning.

My daughter received a call this morning from Sharon Jackson regarding a check that she states never cleared the bank and she was a collection agency. Gave me a number to call 800-634-3422 Western Union to pay the $300 in an hour or someone would be at my house to arrest me. Called me back several times telling me she hasn't received the confirmation and where was the money. I called my bank, got a copy of the cancelled check. Called Sharon Jackson back and asked where I needed to take the check to prove it had cleared, she said she was turning me over and they would be arresting me and I would have to pay the $300 plus the $2,500 for my arrest.
