These Scammers buy lists with names of people who owe money and they start calling and threatening you. They have called people I know and have not talked with in years. They give the people I know all of the information as to why they are calling and tell them I am going to be arrested. I have so many times had this happen and called my attorney and he has called them and they hang up on him. The number that has been calling me is 855-444-7528 and it is a ROBO message let, never a human being.

Illegal Debt Collection Practices Under the FDCPA....this is on a site called nolo.com

The FDCPA (15 U.S.C. §§ 1692 to 1692p) requires that a collection agency make certain disclosures and prohibits the collector from engaging in many kinds of abusive or deceptive behavior. Here are some collection actions prohibited by the FDCPA.

Communications With Third Parties

For the most part, a collection agency cannot contact third parties about your debt. There are a few exceptions to this general rule. Collectors are allowed to contact:
?Your attorney. If the collector knows you are represented by an attorney, it must talk only to the attorney, not you, unless you give it permission to contact you or your attorney doesn?t respond to the agency?s communications.
?A credit reporting agency.
?The original creditor.

Collectors are also allowed to contact your spouse, your parents (only if you are a minor), and your codebtors. But they cannot make these contacts if you have sent a letter asking them to stop contacting you.

There is one other exception. Debt collectors are allowed to contact third parties for the limited purpose of finding information about your whereabouts. In these contacts, collectors:
?must state their name and that they are confirming location information about you
?cannot identify their employer unless asked
?cannot state that you owe a debt
?cannot contact a third party more than once unless required to do so by the third party, or unless they believe the third party?s earlier response was wrong or incomplete and that the third party has correct or complete information
?cannot communicate by postcard
?cannot use any words or symbols on the outside of an envelope that indicate they are trying to collect a debt (including a business logo or letterhead) if either would give away the purpose of the letter, and
?cannot call third parties for location information once they know an attorney represents you.
