this not only illegal,but a complete scam.file a police report,and use any numbers you have to file AG,AND FTC complaints.then have your husband either ignore them,or just hang up without a word.that is what they deserve.

Of course, this is illegal. According to the FDCPA laws, CA is not allowed to give a threat of being arrested because of non-payment of bill. You can file a complaint against them to the State Attorney General or FTC as they have violated the FDCPA laws.

Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the pay off amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.
Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.
Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.
The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
