Just filed suit against Debt collector in NY

[fort_smith_ar]

I Just hired an attorney and he says I have a very good case, I recorded several of the calls. This company told me (on tape) they don't have to show me what its for if I am too stupid to get my credit report and see. They called my children and told them I was in a lawsuit (which I am not) and that I could lose my home. They also threatened to keep calling my children if I didn't give them a credit card number or bank account number right NOW. Thank goodness I recorded the last few calls. This company would 3 or 4 times in less than 5 minutes. They told me they were looking up my employers number since I wouldn't cooperate. They also told me they were calling the sheriff in my county to come to my door if I didn't give them the money at that moment.

I have reason to believe they got into my facebook and thats how they got contacts to start calling. Imagine if some creep starting calling all your facebook contacts and telling them you are a deadbeat! Wish my luck guys as these people have pushed me over the edge.

I don't have facebook. Now you know why

[WhoCares1000]

Yeah, suggestion is, if you are going to be on Facebook, you had better lock down your settings and then only friend people you know.

In any case, this sounds like the exact reason the FDCPA was created so go get'em.

Fort Smith, who is the bottom feeders? I have a company that tried some of those same antics for my deceased room mate, then when they found out he was dead, harassed me to pay it. Sent my affidavit off to the NYS AG 2 weeks ago for the case they have against them. Do be sure to report them to the NYS AG, they are taking the ARM industry on with a vengence.
