Sent me a letter saying I owed on a credit card. Said I had paid on it for 12 years and that since it was on my credit creport until 2008 and never disputed from all three that I HAD TO PAY IT. They did not have any correct previous mailing addresses or correct last names but they did have my social security number. I have never had credit cards. They are going to file a warrant for me. They argued and argued with me and then told me they didn't care what I did even when I told them that I was going ton get a lawyer.
We are getting collection calls for a credit card (Discover)that my husband supposedly opened on June 17, 2001. They are threatening to lock up our bank accounts to collect the money. He has not had a Discover card since 1991 which was a part of his bankruptcy. I ran a credit check on him today and there is no Discover card listed. There are 2 companies that ran credit checks recently that we don't know and should not have been run (8/17/17 & 8/20/17). The calls are from different numbers here's the list with date and time according to the caller ID on 609-300-2304

All phone numbers were checked with whitepages.com and come back as scam or fraud or suspected spam. The call back number that was given to me is 888-686-9475 ext. 3082. The phone is answered "ARA how may I direct your call?". We have not sent them any money.
First ARA called me last Tuesday 5/23/17 saying I had an outstanding balance from Discover that I had from 98-2001. Never until 2017 did I ever have a Discover card in my whole life. They went on to say that I made payments on it during that time until 2001, which I did not because I never had one in the first place. After 7 minutes on the phone never once did he say an amount...which is weird for a collection agency, or any debtor for that matter.
A week later they send me a bogus bill saying I owe nearly $9k. Never in my life have I even racked up a credit card bill anywhere near that size, not even half. I asked them where they sent bills to because I lived in multiple places during that time just to rule out that it wasn't an old roommate that may have committed fraud, but no one I even knew would do that let alone pay a bill in my name for 3 years.
I never even once used a credit card since 1999, not even my department store cards. Bogus, bogus bogus!!!!!!!!
Timothy Johnson if that is even his name threatened me repeatedly over the phone even going as far as to tell me how stupid I am and that I am refusing to pay a debt from the 1990s. The debt is from a hospital in Illinoise where they are supposed to be located. I tryed to explain to the guy that I had fraud commited on my social and have already put in reports on it. Also that I never went to Illinoise at all. He said that I was a stupid idiot and that I am making excuses for my screwed up life and that they will be suing me and making my life hard. I asked to talk to Mark Farmer who is listed on the letter he said no one will talk to me but him and that I was really stupid for asking to speak with someone else. I called back over 5 times and was hung up on. When I finally recieved a person I asked to speak with Mark Farmer they told me that he was busy in meetings. I asked to be transfered to his voicemail they did. It was Timothy Johnsons voice claiming to be Mark Farmer.
I spoke with a lady named Leigh Smith on 01/13/17 @around 9:50am,I ask why were she calling my place of employment?she asked if I had received documents regarding a lawsuit that was filed against me or if I had received any legal documents in the mail?I replied no.I asked how much was the loan amt owed? she replied $923.10 really on a $300 loan?I was told we could settle that amt with a 60% discount on today,I told her I didn't have the money but was willing to set up an payment arrangement..so I ask if I could get documents email to me to for proof...she agreed to email me documents. within a couple of hours still no emailed documents. We set up an agreement that I would pay $102 biweekly until this loan is paid in full but I needed to see a document. I did give her my debt card#&soon as I call to ask her about their business having good standard with the BBB she became very rude&told me She'll see me in court & hung up the phone in my face.so from there I had to call my bank&cancel my card. I ask this company why are y'all calling my job

Received call from representative regarding a debt, in which I did not owe. The Representative stated need 10%
of the balance owed in order to stop a judgement in my county. This brought me to tears; I only make 292.00/week.
I questioned the person on the phone, and she kept placing me on hold. What was strange she called me on my cell
When the Fed-ex paper was received it was addressed to a name I have not gone by in 30 years, My Ex-husband
commited suicide Christmas 2016, and this was in his name,
I explained I am a caregiver to my sister and my income is ver limited, she was very insistant wanting a payment
on the 31 of January, 2017.
With all that has happened this new year, my emotions were off the wall. Please do not become a victim to this
company, they are phising.
