Debt Collector
I received numerous calls from this Kim Watson Bi*** she has made my life a living hell. Yes I did owe these ppl but I didn't think it was lawful or that I could be arrested. They called family members and my job. Last week I received a letter from the state attorneys office in Nassau county stating I had a warrant for my arrest and I went down there and I just bailed out of jail yesterday. I am totally pissed I want to sue this company, they have made me lose money from my job and I am so embarrassed. Do I have a lawsuit against them? I don't have money for all this but if I can I wish to get them in trouble like they did me

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Call from Kim Watson from Compliance Processing. I was nice at first and asked her where exactly this is located, and she became angry and would only say compliance Processing. I looked up the number and its out of Chicago. I explained that if I have a bill of some sort to pay that if she would provide the information via the US Mail and on Official letter head, I would review it, and if it was indeed mine, I would pay. I told her I would not pay anything over the phone to someone I have never heard of. That is when she told me I was a criminal and my lying a** was going to be arrested. I dont worry about these A--Holes as they feel if they threaten you that you will get scared and give a total stranger money. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and the FTC as well as the State Police in MD which will be forwarded to Chicago. Kim Watson is a nasty evil person, I would say lady but that was the last thing she was.

About every six months; I receive call from a Chicago number.  Getting very annoying they have my cell and work number.  Trying to collect on some cash advance; I never ever went to a cash advance place.  They state I work for a catholic school.  Threaten me with senting the police to my work.  The person who called said their name was Lisa Montgomery.

Same threats.  They represent themselves as a legal firm but when asked any questions - they can't give appropriate answers.  

Rude and calling my minor child, ex-husband, work and neighbors!!  This is crazy against the law!!   As they must be tapping phones to get other numbers.

I will be reporting this to police and lawyer.
