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 threatening me that if i didn't pay $500 in an hour that I would be arrested and if I did get arrested I would have to pay an extra $2000+. This really freaked me out. I told me husband what was going on and he didn't think it sounded right. So we called our local police department and they told me they have had several complaints about this place and they said it was just a scare tactic to get money out of people. They also said that Sharon doesn't have the authority to have people arrested. When my husband called Sharon and asked her questions she hung up on him. So she's just trying to scare people into paying her money. She's disrespectful and cold hearted.
She called me today at 10:00 stated that I owed a certain amount that was due at 12:45pm She stated that if i didn't pay her by money gram she would turn it over to the states attorneys office,and that I would be arrested today at work or at home. I called the states attorneys office,and they told me that they could not take this case because it did not happen in this county. So I also called the county in which it happened and they stated to me that they would need a police report first to do anything and that they did not have anything on file. So now I was suspicious. I ended up calling the lady back and tried to get more information from her and she then stated to me that she had put this file on hold and cut the amount in half and wanted me to pay before 4:45pm.I had my boss call them also.She used my name and case number to try to get more information.But she hung up on her also. I finally call the better business people and they told me I was being scamed. So I will call back tomorrow and file a report.
got several calls from Sharon Jackson saying I was going to be arrested if I did not pay $477 by 1pm today and the police would be to get me at my job.
Sharon Jackson called my work and told a co-worker that she was a Florida Investigator and that there was to be a hearing today that I had to attend. Frantically the co-worker tried to reach me believing that this was a Florida Police Officer or an Officer of the Court.
I am reporting this to any Florida agency I can!
report this to your local police dep't immediately. also the attorney general's office. this is a total scam. i feel so sorry for the people who fall for this type of thing. the police would never call your house nor would anyone from the courts. just ignore these kinds of calls. but report them. it would be nice to put them out of business.
