Consumer debt in America is *not* a criminal matter and collector claims are not typically sent straight to a judge. Lawful debt collection is a process, not an ambush, and you are due a chance at each stage to raise a dispute.

Whether you are called a debtor or some collector thinks you can flush one out, you have rights and options. Many are simple to exercise if you only learn how. You are entitled to proof of claim and fair treatment. If one or the other is not provided, the collection agency should *not* win your assets. You are granted control of how you are contacted, the right to dispute debt claims, and the means to sue violators at low cost. The FTC and the CFPB can start you on your homework. See also if your state laws grant additional or stronger rights.

Classic comment jamming from a company shill .... "I forgot/never knew about that silly old bill, and instead of challenging the claim which could be bogus, I let those sweet collectors talk me into paying." Some things never change.

Sure, pal. I can think of some other reasons:
- Bullying and bluffing to extract a payment or an admission of aged debt solely to reset a Statute of Limitations
- Annoying family, co-workers, and neighbors to flush out a person who was never hiding and whose phone number was already in the account file
- Coercing payment of poorly documented or uncollectable accounts
- Coercing payment of accounts created through creditor or insurer negligence and not the consumer's, as so frequently happens in medical billing
- Stupidly calling people who owe nothing and/or are not the alleged debtors

Good for you. That's an easy win in court, and the weasels will be begging to settle before long. What am I always saying on this site? Collect the evidence of lawbreaking and sue the offenders if you want the madness to stop. The jail threat is hardly the only FDCPA violation reported in this thread, but certainly among the worst.

Got 3 calls from these idiots with messages that sound like the world was going to end if I didnt call back. Finally called back and talked with a Donna. She said I owed medical bills and then the threats started. It was really funny to let her ramble as I was recording every word. She said the Judge would throw me in jail if I didnt pay in 20 days. Told her to sue away, she hung up. I have already gave the recording to my lawyer for further action.

I just received a phone call / voicemail from a very rude person named Tonya who did not tell the name of the company or the what the nature of the call was. She made a threat that I needed to contact her by the end of today or else. Since it was left on voicemail, I transferred it to another permanent recording media, and I'm forwarding it to my lawyer, as I am in the middle of a malpractice suit against the hospital for my surgeries. Thank you all for sharing your experiences so I knew what this was without calling her back.

Got a voice mail from this number but won't answer when we call back.  She was fairly pleasant but said it was urgent my husband call her back immediately.  I don't return calls to people who don't identify themselves or their company.

Dear a***oles the debt you are trying to collect is more than 7 years old and therefore no longer eligable for legal action in the state of california. Stop calling, stop with the threats and do your effing homework!!

I have also been receiving calls from this number on a daily basis - I don't answer calls from a number I do not recognize. The caller says her name is Cindy and that she must hear from me today.    This is great info - thanks for sharing. I will now return the call and see how it goes!

Trinity Hope Associates. Called and left message with out telling me their name or reason for calling.  I called back the next day.  First talked to a Cindy.  She stated I owed for an old medical bill (Seven years old).  She got rude when I asked her for info on where, when and who the bill was from.  She stated that they had sent me many letters and calls.  Which I have not got and I told her that.  She hung up on me...  Then Tonya called me back and was even more rude then Cindy.  She said it was my bill and that could give her my credit card info now or she will report me...  She said to that I needed to get a lawyer because they were.  Funny thing my lawyer called the next day Tonya got rude with him and hung up on him...  I called my buddy over at the Caldwell County Sheriff Office.  He said that they get four to five calls like this from people every week about these people.  He said not to give them anything, and not to talk to them anymore...

A call came from this number from a person name Cindy. My mother was still a sleep and took call. She wasnt able to hear my mom and responded to her as if she was playing the name game and hung up on her. When my mom tried to call her back she was still rude. My mom said the company name was Trinity Hope and assumed it was a church. The caller on the other phone stated it wasnt a church and was still rude.  I got the phone and told them how unprofessional they were with their call and not to call this number again. At that point we didnt care what the call was regarding. I decided to do a reverse number search and stumbled across the other complaints here. I felt it was necessary to add to the list of complaints for any records.

I got a call from this number tonight. "Cindy" wanted me to call back, "It's very important that you return our call". If it's so blasted important, why don't you leave a business name so your call can be validated? Join the ranks of ignored calls, woman!

Bullish tactics don't work with me missy.  I offered to pay with credit card(security reasons) and she denied.  Kept badgering with "ROUTING NUMBER"... no thanks(screams scam). I don't keep much money in my checking account anyways.  

Also threatened to have me arrested by local sheriff.  HA!  That has to be illegal.  

It did remind me to make an attempt at taking care of hospital debts though.. i'll try paying directly to save me AND the hospital money...and to keep money out of her hands.

Don't let her scare you into submission, its not like they can eat you!

This unethical woman name Tanya called me and left a nasty voice mail.  When I called her back she would not give me her company name.  In other words she was brave enough to leave a nasty voice mail but was as much of a coward to give me her company name when I talked to her live.  I have NEVER received anything from anybody about a bill that they are trying to collect.  I want to know who the company is because when I get through with them they will no longer have a company. I will find out who the company is and I will report it to the BBB.

I had a call from "Tanya", she pretended she had a southern accent. She was very rude and her story didn't make sense, she said she called me many times and my lawyer or I needed to call her immediately or else. This reminds me of another call I got from a strange woman a few months ago, prolly same person, she made up a story someone was using my credit and other info and I better call her back. She wouldn't state where she was from, what company or police dept she was with so I googled the number and found a bunch of other people having the same call, it was just a bill collector trying to get info.

This person called for me and my brother had answered the phone. Woman did not ask who he was or what relationship he was to me. For all she knows , he could have been my husband she was talking to inwhich has legal rights to know whatever info. Proceeds to tell my brother that it is a legal matter to wake me up. My brother refused to wake me up when the woman became rude and threatened to involve the sheriffs in the situation.

Excuse me ?? Last time I checked and correct me if I am wrong. It should be under the bill collectors rules and regulations somewhere. It was supposed to be illegal to make a call of sorts and not tell the person whom they are collecting for , what company they are with , and any other information inwhich the issue could be resolved in a timely manner.

I did do a search by number and only information I found is that it was a landline that called and it was from North Carolina.

Tonya Eggers had called me didnt say what company she was working for I found out by doing research online. This Mrs Eggers lady was so Rude that I filed a complaint with the BBB. She told me that I owed this amount of money which wasnt much but alot for me because I dont work alot of hours and I had asked her if i could set up a payment plan. She told me no and to see if I could borrow the money from someone. So I spoke with a family member and they told me to request from her proof. So I called her back and asked her for proof and she told me no should wouldnt send anything and said that she had sent many before and that she had called which I dont have any record of her doing either one. She also said she called my work which is a lie because i spoke with them and they said no one had called. She then told me when I had asked her for proof like i said she had said no and i told her she couldnt do that it was the law. She then said to me not to preach the law to her and then laughed at me and said she was sending it to the shireffs department and that shed see me in court and then hung up.

She had no right doing what she did. I was willing to pay I just needed to set up a payment plan.
