I get a lot of scammer calls but this time they left a message saying they were from the state of Florida and I was listed as an emergency contact number. So I immediately freaked and called back only to get some BI*** answer the phone saying processing! So I asked her what company or agency she was working for and she said processing so I immediately knew it was a scam but was livid at the fact that they played on my emotions thinking someone in my family was hurt! Needless to say I went off on her and I highly doubt those morons will call again! People need to get a life and stop trying to scam people that are out here working hard for a living!

I just got the same call from a Holly Chapman.  I'm in California and she said this number (work number) was left with the state of california to call in case of emergency and this was an emergency.  It was kind of funny, she tried to make her voice sound like it was an emergency.  But it was an 855 number.  Glad I googled this phone number.

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.

They have called me several times. I never answer but I finally called back and told them to stop calling. She said I was an emergency contact for this person. She asked if I was family or friend. When I said I don't know anything about this person so please take me off your call list she said it was a felony charge and she would inform the authorities. I didn't stop to think this might be a scam to hack my phone.

Got another call today to my direct line at work. I was away from my office, so it went to voice mail. This time it was a Holly Chapman, but the same number as yesterday saying it was an emergency with the state of MA and to call back immediately. Funny how her "direct line" is the same as the person from yesterday.

No you haven't made a mistake with them.  They are a shyster lowlife outfit trying to extort money from you through threats and intimidation..  If you talk with them again,  demand written validation of the alleged original debt as well as their right to claim and collect in your state. If they refuse,  advise them that they are in violation of the FDCPA  (fair debt collections act)  and their claim is unvalidated,  bogus,  and unacceptable.    These types of maggots will use excuses saying that they don't have to send it or that they already have provided it in order to dodge the issue,  intimidate you,  or scare you.  Advise them that until you receive acceptable written validation,  via usps,  and both you and your attorney get the opportunity to  view the claim as well as dispute it,    there is no debt and you refuse to even discuss it any further.   Tell them if they don't like it,  sue you.

He called back within 10 minutes of our last conversation and said that they were tied up in depositions all day and didn't have the time to call everyone's attorney so if I could have my attorney call them - all of a sudden it didn't seem as much of an emergency.  I'm hoping I haven't made a mistake with them.

Debt Collector
Threatened felony fraud charges unless I handle today.   I asked for paperwork they said it was sent 10 days ago, however, they didn't have to send anything.   They said they would check with their lawyer to see if I would be allowed to do a settlement and called back within 5 minutes.  In the meantime I called our local sheriff's office and an attorney for validation.   When he called back I told him that he was welcomed to call my lawyer and if she identified it as legal then I would handle.  I had to sternly speak over him and ask him 5 times if he wanted her name and number - finally he said yes - who knows if he'll call.   They are very aggressive, threatening and rude.

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.
