See my post above and take the steps you need to take! You cannot be arrested for "owing money" .. Your owner also needs to file as well. You both need to file with the local pd as well as with the other agency's.
A greendot card should have been a red warning flag! You will probably not get any documents either. You have been scammed..

I've been receiving these calls too, but I keep ignoring until they got a hold of my boss at work and kept calling us so many times until I finally gave them a call ball. This guy name George Belowski claims his attorney representing the debt collector party that I owe fraud charges. He told me if I don't come up with
1500 in one hour they will have the police come arrest me at work. I was scare out of my mind and had to borrow a loan from the owner from work in order to pay them. So I had to go to the super market to do a green dot cash reload and give them the ID code on back of the card. They said tomorrow I will receive a 16 page document of the court charges they have on me, if nothing delivers to me tomorrow I pretty much got SCAM big time. How can we stop this harassing! Theres no way to get our money back?
PLEASE HELP!

My wife received a call(916-251-9248),(408-868-6600) from these people who threatened and harassed her. They claimed that she would be arrested for fraud and that a deputy sheriff would be waiting for her at her place of employment if she doesn't pay the attorney cost and fees+ a loan that we applied for. She was so frightened that she left her dialysis early to handle the problem. Somehow she scrapped up the money (over $2000) and sent it off. Unfortunately she did not tell me of any of this until it was too late. The advise stated above should be adhered to. We reported it to the local police(who couldn't do anything about it) and the FBI. FBI took a statement and case #. Our question is will these people get there just due?!! Will they get away with this or can we do something about it!!??
PLEASE HELP

"§ 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."

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

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.

I was absolutely terrorized by the people at this phone #. Something should be done.
| Jeanne 2013-09-05 01:06:45 Unknown |
OMG my story sounds almost like yours. I got many calls from that # & didn't answer. Finally I did & the man at the other end who had accent (I think Indian) stated that I better not hand up & that he needed to speak to me or my attorney. He said that he had proof & evidence that I was involved in check fraud & that they have a warrant for my arrest. I told him I have never written a bad check in my life. He said that unless we settled right then on the phone a sheriff would be coming to my work (& he knew where I worked) to arrest me & that I could get up to 9 mos. in jail. I told him to go eff himself. I then called my local sheriff who also told me to call the Attorney General who also told me to call the District Attorney & my hometown Police Dept. They all assured my it is a scam & they WILL get their due some day.

1-916-251-9248..... Called 30+ times in one day.... I answered 3 times to tell them to stop. Sometimes they would say I filled out a loan application.... When I would tell them to stop before they could say anything..They would go with 'I am with 'whatever law agency' and you MUST send $$ Western Union or else.... Told them I forwarded the # to DEA.....
