Ron Hartley called three times stating he had a "file" and would have no choice but to turn it over to the local court if I didn't respond. I never called back but if he calls again, I'm going to mess with him long enough to track where the call is coming from.

First I got a voicemail saying they are going to serve me papers from the County's processor serving office that I live in and to call the 866 phone number with a case number. I called the number and they said it was a credit card I had which was in my maiden name. I've been married for 20 years!! Then they said the amount I owe is almost $6,000 due to all the fees that have racked up over 20+ years. And he made up some story as to why it's not on my credit report. And said I could pay $2,300 today to settle out of court. They even sent an email with a legitimate looking document with a letter head. They are very sophisticated and threatening. They need to be stopped.

Travis Taylor called from "the legal division" stating that legal procedures against me will begin soon.

A few weeks back I spoke to this man. He knew my name, last four of my SSN, and when and with whom I had an outstanding payday loan. It sounded legitimate and fishy at the same time. I told him I was unemployed and he said he would hold my account for 2 days for me to get some money for a payment arrangement otherwise it will go to court.

If this were true, he wouldn't call so much later with the same threat.

Received a call with an auto message that said it was trying to collect a debt and if I paid now I'd only have to pay half the debt, and to either visit their website or call to pay. I called and there was no option to speak to anyone. I went to the website, which found my account by my phone number and the last 4 of my social security #, and attempted to get a chat rep to provide me with a phone number so my lawyer can talk to them, as i recently claimed bankruptcy and literally have no debt, and never had any debt from the credit card company they said my debt was from. The chat rep said they would take my account down for bankruptcy, refused to provide me with a phone number. This is most definitely a scam.

The caller and later organization claimed my wife owed a hospital debt from over 19 years ago purchased by Schaeffer Acquisition. Claim included that a letter had been sent 3 months prior but they had no proof of that. Alleged that unless 50% or more was paid a civil suit would be filed in our county and a lien placed on our home. A search of the bonfides of the company show a registered representative in Huntsville, AL but was deceased. Also claimed the statute of limitations was frozen as we moved out of the state.

Couldn’t give me thier business name. Saying I owed them money. Someone is suing me for $1000 or I’m getting 3 felony charges. Could give me a exact date on this matter. Can only tell me it happened before 2018.

For the past 7-9 months, my wife has received threatening phone calls from "Richard Lewis" calling from different phone numbers, the latest bing (502) 209-4553 stating he is from the Alman Legal Group in Lexington, Kentucky (which I can not find any law firm by that name) saying that we owe money for a credit card debt and if it's not paid, they are sending someone to our house to sign a document and are taking us to court.

However, my wife has repeatedly told him that debt was paid off 4 years ago. My wife has not only proof of payment but also proof from her credit report detailing that the account was settled and the matter closed in 2018. "Richard Lewis" argues that my wife is lying and we will be taken to court.

My wife has blocked each of their different phone numbers that have been used over the past 7-9 months.
