On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX PST I received a call from a number I did not recognize and allowed it to go to voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail it was someone on behalf of document republic. They were calling to confirm that I would be available to sign for a certified legal notice that was scheduled to be issued at my home address ( which was accurate ). They asked me to contact the firm. They stated they had my information which was provided by DMV records off my drivers license information. They provided my date of birth ( which was correct ) but had my maiden name not married name ( which is updated on my drivers license ). They said they needed a signature in order to deliver the package. They provided a number to call and a file number. Concerned I called them back and provided the file number. I was then quickly transferred to the representative in charge of my file. Once getting to her she asked for the last four of my SSN which I skeptically provided. Once she verified me she continued to tell me I had an unpaid debt that they were collecting. She stated that if I didnt pay them they were going to sue me. I asked more questions regarding the debt and she stated she did not have to provide me with anything. I then asked her to confirm the original creditor which she said she didnt have to provide to me. She said that she will put in my file that I was not interested in paying and that they will sue me with an added 2k for court fees. I again asked her for more information because I couldnt remember what debt she was referring to. She said oh really you dont remover having an account with ( company name )?. I responded with no she then went on to say ok well Im putting in your file refusal to pay well see you in court. I then asked her for a manager which she quickly told me no I asked her again for her manager. She said Im going to give you the original account number you can can the company and ask them and then Im going to hang up. I again said I wanted a manager and she continued to avoid my request. She started reading off the account number and I quickly scribbled the number and then she hung up on me. I called the company and requested the charge off department. Once there they stated that they did have a debt attached to that account which was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. They said they could not provide me with any other details as once the account is charged off they do not own the account or the previous statements. I called the collector back to request a statement or something to prove the debt. I was quickly transferred back to the same lady who was extremely rude. I asked her for the statements and she responded with no legally we dont have to give you any proof if you want proof then well take you to court and your lawyer can request copies but again well add 2k to your existing debt of 2k. I then asked why she couldnt provide me with proof and she said again that legally she didnt have to and was going to write that o was declining to pay and that shed see me in court. I asked her to let me speak to a manager and she was very condescending insinuating that I was only a customer service rep. She then hung up on me but before doing that she said good luck in court. I called the number again and refused to give the rep my file number, I immediately requested a manager. Finally speaking to a manager I explained that I wanted to get more information regarding this debt. He said they were going to send me a validation of debt. He also said that he was going to put in a block so they would stop contacting my friends, family, neighbors and place of business. I asked him if they were doing that and he said yes. This confused me because I had not had anyone tell me that these people were looking for me. I asked him for information on how to pay if I wanted to set up a repayment of some sort. He provided me with a 50 % discount which he said was a favor to me or 25 % down and then 5 month payment plan. I told him I would wait for the letter and then Ill would verify the information and address it then. He said that would be fine and we disconnected mutually. After I had time to look at everything ( later that day ) I reviewed my old emails and found that I had set up a payment plan to pay the debt in full back in XX/XX/XXXX. I confirmed using bank statements that the payments were auto drafted from my account. I have the original affidavit of correctness/assignment which was purchased by the company I made payments to.

Business sent a text message asking that I return the call. I forgot. 2 days later I get a call from a private number. I answer and speak to a XXXX XXXX. She verify 's the case number in the text message and then begins to verify my personal information. First she calls me a man, I am not a man ... Then she confirms my DOB which the date she had was incorrect, then she confirms my social. Which was incorrect. Then she asks about a street that I lived on at one time. I am familiar with the street name from my childhood, however she did not give a street number. Because I have lived on that street 20 years ago, I acknowledged the street name. Then she begins to tell me I have an unpaid debt from XX/XX/2009 and it's currently $ 1800+ the {$2500.00} court fees because they are getting ready to file a lawsuit against me. I let her know that I the account is not mine and that I have no recollection of it. She stated " Well they said you opened the account, and good luck in court, if you don't settle this account today ''. Once again I told her that I am not settling any account today, first it's not my account, 2nd she provided me in depth details about the wrong person and their account, and 3rd that she would be the one needing the luck in court, because the DOB and Social that they have for " me '' as she stated is not correct. Not only that she threatened me with court for an account that was closed in XX/XX/2009. Even if this was my debt the statute of limitations is 4 years from account closure, or last negotiations in my state. She said I will be mailed the court documents and it would be best for me to show up, again I let her know that she didn't even have an address for me and she said it will go the the last know address. This is not right! It's not my debt, but if she had convinced me and I hadn't known better, and paid this account off for something 1 that I don't own, but was scared about being sued so I paid it, and 2 that I didn't know my statute of limitations for my state, that I could have been tricked into paying something that I can not be sued for. This is not the proper way to handle something like this. Now I have access to a social that is not mine, and a DOB as well as an account number. What if I was an identity thief? This company basically provides any information necessary to attempt to make a dollar. In this day and age this should be stopped, as people do pray on the identity of others, and now this business has provided me someone else 's info.

I was reached out to on XX/XX/XXXX by a " locating company '' or something of that nature. A woman told me to call a number XXXX of a company called XXXX XXXX. A woman Named XXXX answered the phone and told me that they have a debt owed to them for a XXXX XXXX XXXX account they purchased back in XXXX. She told me that the amount owed was {$1600.00}. When I asked her questions she was very aggressive towards me and told me that they would pursue me in a manner that would cost me a much grater sum if I didn't start paying immediately. Because I was skeptical with her and voiced that she was using what seemed like manipulative tactics she was quick to say that she was going to put it down that I was denying or rejecting to pay and hung up on me. I don't see anything like this on my credit and with all the Identity theft going around and her extremely unprofessional nature in addition to her extreme sense of urgency to take a payment I was skeptical to say the least. I called her back immediately after she hung up to try and get more info. She told me an account number that was with XXXX of XXXX that was an old overdrawn checking account. She told me I could call them. I asked her what the original amount owed was and she said it was {$300.00} and something dollars. She told me that they had reached out and mailed me stuff to a location I lived at over 10 years ago at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX. She told me to avoid legal action I could settle the debt on the date we spoke for {$400.00} down and pay the other {$490.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. I told her I needed to call XXXX XXXX XXXX to verify that the debt was mine because I was unaware of it. I called them and they were closed for the holiday. I called her back and she said I have till today to make my {$400.00} dollar payment to avoid legal action. After this call I starting doing research on the number called and read a number of stories just like mine about extremely old accounts and aggressive tactics to resolve accounts. She read off the last 4 of my social to me and gave me their address of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA, XXXX to establish credibility. She emailed me a " Debt Verification '' letter that didn't show any kind of interest or the original amount owed. There was a debt balance of {$1600.00} and also {$2600.00} in the body of the letter. It didn't say anything about my ability to dispute it which I'm told is required by law and it doesn't show their license number which I guess is also required.

On XX/XX/XXXX, my husband received a voice message from First Equity Alliance ( Phone # XXXX ) for me regarding a civil complaint ( case # XXXX-XXXX ) that was filed against me. When I returned the call to find out about the matter I spoke with a very rude lady who spoke forcefully explaining that I owed an old debt debt ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and that I was in the process of being sued for {$4100.00} including attorney fees. I explained to her that this debt was paid, she then stated that their client XXXX XXXX was the owner of this account which was not paid and that I may have paid this debt to a fraudulent company and she would place a courtesy hold on the process until I produce the proof and send to XXXX. After getting my documentation, I learned from my daughter that a message was left of her phone as well, regarding this same matter and the person from first Equity Alliance not only mentioned my name but frequently mentioned her name as well. So, I called First Equity Alliance back and spoke to XXXX XXXX, he also explained that the call was being recorded and that I was being sued, and that I received documents at a previous address 45 days ago to settle the matter for {$1200.00} ( which is not true ) and stated that once the suit was filed that they could garnish my wages, place a lien on any of my property and have access to any and all FDIC accounts that was attached to my name in pursuit of this debt and that I would be served by a civil litigator on Monday or Tuesday. So I then asked for their documents to be sent directly to me for my records and he stated that he would have to speak to his manager and that if approved he could sent it to my email. I then gave him my email address and hung up. After a couple of hours, I called First Equity Alliance back, the same XXXX XXXX answered and I asked for the documents a second time, he assured me that he would check with the accounting dept to ensure that I receive their documents. I still have not received anything yet. The most disturbing parts to this is that this debt was paid off since XXXX, and that they called my daughter and mentioned her name in this matter and then spoke to me in a most disrepectful manner. Your immediate assistance in this manner is greatly appreciated. ( Voice message can be provided if needed. )

For the past two years I and my elderly mother and other family members have been receiving repeat calls and messages about supposed pending legal matters pertaining to a debt that I know nothing about. I have always told my mom to ignore the calls, my credit is great and I keep and eye out for changes in my report but these constant messages upset her so I finally called them back one day and they threated to serve me with papers. I gave them my address and told them to send me documentation or whatever they needed to send me, just stop calling my mother and that I knew nothing about the debt they were referencing. They never sent me anything. The calls stopped for a while and they have started up again. After ignoring them, they have become more aggressive and again, I called them back to see what they would say. This time they said they were with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( My case Reference # XXXX ) and were acting as mediators on behalf of their client - XXXX - Assured Financial Partners. They say they have purchased an old debt attached to my social in the amount of {$3200.00} that is now {$5800.00} and if we go to court {$2500.00} will be added to that amount. When pressed for info about the original creditor they said it was a XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX and I have never opened a XXXX account so unless I am a victim of identity theft and the retailer just never reported this delinquent account to the credit bureau, this is a total scam. After speaking to these people I immediately called XXXX and they were unable to locate any account attached to my social security number. While this was a slight relief, I am still very concerned because whoever I was speaking to on the phone did have all of my information including my social security number, home address and phone number. I am unsure of what I should do next, they said I would be served with papers so I guess I will wait and see if that happens but I suspect that just like last time, nothing will happen. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, Tx XXXX XXXX My SS # is XXXX

I was contacted by a company called XXXX XXXX. They called me using a blocked number and told me they were XXXX XXXX XXXX asking for a relative of mine. I told them they had the wrong number and they proceeded to tell me it was in regards to an arson incident and had me write down case number, phone number and company name to give. That it was so urgent and involved legal documents needing to be sent. Out of curiosity I called the number to see if it was legit and this is how I found out who the blocked number the woman called from belonged to. A representative for XXXX XXXX XXXX answered, gave a name and I told them I obviously am not who they are looking for. They asked for the " case number '' to see what was going on. I asked how they got my name and number when I know this relative does not have it. He claimed he got it from my relative 30 days prior. That it was the main contact info given. I told him that is impossible and he cut me off claiming it's the info given as contact and until they reach my relative there is nothing they can do. I asked what this is even in regards to and that the woman from the other company they work with said it was something about arson. He claimed he could not give me any further information and that they were a civil mediation company. So in response I asked if it was for a debt and he replied no. It was to talk to the relative and be the middle man in a situation and if the papers he needs to get aren't given then there will be legal consequence and he could be picked up. I told him I don't know where they are and this is not their number so if they will not stop calling I would pursue other legal means to stop it. He again said they can't take my number out and just to relay the information to the relative and that was it. The relative they are looking for is not involved with any mediation lawyers. Not to mention, I have never heard of any arson cases involving this type of lawyer. We live in IL these lawyers are not based in our state either.

I received a voicemail stating I needed to call back immediately. When I called back I spoke with a XXXX whom wanted all of my personal information before telling me what the call was in regards to. When I told him I did n't feel comfortable doing that, he became very hostile and disconnected the call. I called back and spoke with another representative, who was able to tell me they sent out information to a very old address but could n't tell me why they called because she did n't handle the file, XXXX did and so she transferred me back to him. XXXX then told me he was calling about a credit card I took out with XXXX back in XXXX which had a balance of {$4000.00}. I told him I never had a credit card from XXXX and he became hostile again. I told him I want something sent to me about this " debt '' so I can have an attorney look at it as it is n't mines. That made him even more upset and he proceeded to tell me they already sent me something in the mail. I told him the previous representative told me they sent something to an old address and he told him she was mistaken. I said it sounds like you do n't want to send proof of this debt and per FDCPA I am allowed to request proof of the debt. I told him the 1st credit card I received was close to XXXX and he stated " well that 's not what your credit report says ''. He stated he was no longer going to argue with me and disconnected the call. I check my credit report very often and there 's nothing on my file in regards to what he 's claiming I owe. He was very hostile especially after I explained to him the laws I knew in regards to debt collection practices.

I am told by XXXX XXXX that I have an lawsuit that is in prelit in regards to an a debt with XXXX XXXX from XXXX. That they have been sending me letters about this.I was told I could settle the claim at that time and if i did not pay that then they would take me to court and I will owe more then {$5000.00} including attorney 's fees and expenses. I have never received any letters from XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX about any money owed. I asked the company to provide me with statements or an account number to prove that I owed this money. The rep told me that they did not have to. That and document 's that they had would be provided to me in court. If i did not pay something like {$1200.00} at that time, they could sue me. I would not be able to negotiate and could garnish my income and or tax return. I kept asking for proof. She then asked me for my email address and that she would send me a letter about it. I gave it to her only wanting further information, thinking this was just a scam. Never did i agree to any of the claims. I called XXXX XXXX Recovery Dept and they do not have any accounts in my name. Current or past. The rep at XXXX XXXX told me to insist on the company provide me with proof of this debt. Even an account number and give it to XXXX XXXX to research. I do not owe this money. Nothing has ever showed on my credit report of any money owed to XXXX XXXX or any other company. I have made major purchases and this would have showed up.

i had gone to a small car dealer on monday XX/XX/2017 and i wanted to get a car so they got my social security and my credit history and also information where i work at. So the dealer was acting for too much down payment so i declined and did not proceed to get a vehicle there. But they had stayed with all my information. On Wednesday XX/XX/2017 someone had called my job and left a message to XXXX stating that if i dont call first equity at there phone number that otherwise they were gon na come by my workplace and subpoena me if i dont call. Since i work graveyard shift i was n't able to get the message until that night my supervisor had hand me the message from XXXX .The next morning i call the number that was left to call, so i did call and the person that i was supposed to call was not there so the put me to talk to a different person and they kept threatening me that if i dont pay as soon as possible i was gon na get subpoena and get sued and likely to take money away from my paychecks from work if i dont pay them by this month. They also had told me about how they knew my credit history and everything i had owed. So then i remember how i gone to a car dealer this month on the XXXX and they had stayed with my credit history and information where i work so i think im getting scam by that same car dealer to take my money from me.

I received several messages from friends and family during early XX/XX/2019 that a company was trying to reach me about collections. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the first phone call direct to me to discuss the collection. Upon verification of personal information, I was told that I had an outstanding debt of {$1300.00} with XXXX XXXX, and that they were trying to collect. In addition they noted that there were legal costs on top of that amount which they threatened to charge me with. I disputed that I had any debt balance with XXXX. I had a bank account there several years ago, and a 12-month loan which was paid in full and on time. They offered to send verification of the debt, but I only received a letter from the collection agency, with no backup of information received from XXXX XXXX. I called them again, and was told that they had no obligation to prove the debt I owed and that I had to reach out to XXXX XXXX to verify. I told them that I had no intention of taking their word for the debt and until they could offer proof, I was not going to pay the amount. The representative then asked why we were even on the phone, which I agreed with, and hung up. They called back again on XX/XX/XXXX, and I told them I was unavailable to speak with them. I have not heard from them since.

This company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, calls me about XXXX times a day leaving messages. After I blocked one number they started calling from a different number. They said if I don't agree to make arrangements to pay they can put a lien on my car or garnish my federal income tax. The lady stated that I owed over {$4000.00}, but I could settle if I immediately sent them {$1200.00}. She wanted me to send her my banking info over the phone. After I wouldn't agree to sending them {$1200.00} she got an attitude with me like she just couldn't believe I wouldn't send them that amount. I know of this debt, but I'm trying go figure out how it got to be over {$4000.00} when initially the debt was a little over {$2000.00}. I have asked them to send me documentation stating who they are and information about the amount of debt I supposedly owe. They have also been contacting my brother who knows nothing about this situation. I thought this was against the law!!! I'm also wondering if it is over the statue of limitations to collect this debt because it goes back to XXXX.

I received a phone call and voice mail on my cell phone on XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX am. The caller ID number was XXXX and my phone tagged it as suspected spam. The voice mail stated that they were looking for my adult son and it had something to do with an address he lived at 2 years ago. The caller mentioned federal law and proceeding after two attempts. I did not return the call and blocked the number. XXXX XXXX at XXXX am a call came in on my cell phone with no caller ID. It was the same person asking for my son. I said that he could not be reached at this number and I hung up as I was waiting for someone to call and loop me into a conference call at work. He immediately called back. I do not owe any debt to this company and I should not be harassed like this over a debt that someone in my family may or may not owe.

They only sent me an " offer letter '' email ( attached ) and would not send me any physical mail. They gave me no information to validate this alleged debt, and the bank says I don't owe them money and they were not in the process of suing me.

This company has been harassing me and my relatives about a debt that I can not verify from 2006. They claim to have sent 40 letters to me, but I have not received anything. Now they claim that the only course of action is that I pay by the end of the month or face legal action. Additionally, they have made harassing phone calls to my family about said legal actions. They are also claiming to be a third party to the actual debt collector who they will not name other than " their client ''. Finally, they also threatened to have my wages garnished by the IRS.

I looked up the name of the company online and the number they are calling from and found that it shows they call family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment ( past or present or both ) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.

this number repeatedly calls my place of employment and threatens me that they are going to serve me papers at my work if I do n't call them, that does n't make any sense to me, since I do n't know what it is about and people do n't call you to warn you that they are going to serve you papers, they just do it ... ... ... ..so this is really bothering me. he is very rude and says his name is XXXX XXXX or something like that and gives a phony court case, which is n't true, not sure what this is all about.

The associate at First Equity Alliance was very condescending and spoke over me in my attempts to get documentation mailed to me for confirmation. He was very rude and unprofessional. To act as if they are mediators yet berate the consumer is uncalled for.
