Subissue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay
Consumer Complaint: First off, these people are contacting me for something that is n't mine. XXXX cell phone bill. I have XXXX of them on my credit report. They are not mine. I have challenged them and filed complaints. How can a person open XXXX accounts with XXXX in a year?? I do not know if someone opened these up in my name or if this is some kind of paperwork error, but these are not mine. I tried to explain that to the man that called me and he laughed at me, said it was n't his problem. He asked me how I intended to pay bill. I told him I was n't going to pay this because this is n't mine and it 's being disputed. He then told me they could take me to court and have it taken out of my paycheck. he called me a deadbeat, and refused to let me speak to a supervisor. Then the following day I received XXXX calls from them. I thought it was illegal to call more than twice? I 'm so sick of this. These accounts are not mine!

Be advised, this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for " verification '' or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section. I respectfully request that your office provide me with competent evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay you. Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for ; Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe ; Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; Identify the original creditor ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account ; Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent. If your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major Credit Bureau 's ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ), said action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist.

This includes any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is. If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your offices to my home or to my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls or correspondence sent to any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose. Best Regards, XXXX XXXX

Subissue: Sued w/o proper notification of suit
Consumer Complaint: Jefferson Capital Systems LLC filed a law suit petition with a court within my jurisdiction in Texas. I not once received any notification from Jefferson Capital Systems LLC stating who they were, what they were collecting on or that I was being sued. I had never spoken to them or even had a debt with them. This debt I have now found out was purchased from the original creditor. Jefferson Capital Systems LLC never offered me the opportunity to work with the original creditor. They made numerous anonymous calls to my cell but never once left a voicemail or a call back number. I was able to trace their number to their company and assumed it was fraud since they do n't leave messages. I have been receiving calls from stating they are sending a warrant for my arrest and the numbers left behind are not traceable to a state office or legal office. I am now receiving numerous calls to my cell phone from various numbers claiming to be from a processor which I found out was fraudulent.
