US National Bank is harassing me for a closed account. Need help

So after being repeatedly harassed by BMG yesterday and today I contacted my lawyer and we're going after them. Why? Because of a little thing called the Fair Debt Collection Act! Which states:
debt collectors also may not state that:

* you will be arrested if you do not pay your debt;
*falsely imply that you have committed a crime;

1. BMG told me on the phone I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay them $916 dollars ( they refuse to send me any documention or tell me who it is that I owe money to!)
2. They left a voice mail for a co worker of mine saying I had committed a crime and if they knew any information to please contact them. They also called a friend I had used as a reference leaving her the same message. Also saying her credit was at risk because of this.

So I called the Attorney General's Office in NYC and they told me it is absolutely illegal . They are sending me a form and my lawyer will be contacting them.

That is if we can find the invisible Bahamas Marketing Group!

Is US National Bank the same as Platinum B, and Bass ?

Not sure on Platinum B but I believe with Bass....although I heard they go by a ton of names....

I think Platinum B is another pdl company

They call me everyday and I can understand his english at all.This time they said my social secrity number would be blocked.Can they do this even if its a scam?

Blocked from what? Exsisting?

They can't do a thing with your SSN.....to even imply using your SSN in a way they have no authority to do so I think would be against a few federal laws.

I swear collectors say the dumbest things. How the heck do you block a SS#. Why don't they block it out of their system and and leave people alone.

I just received a similar call from someone saying I owed US national bank from 2006 and that I had to be in court Monday morning. he would not tell me where or what time. I told him that I have never had a paydayloan that I did not pay back and he told me that if I am not in court on Monday, they will be issuing a warrant for my arrest and that I would be picked up on Monday morning. I told him that I knew that was not how things were done and he got really irrate with me and told me that I had to be in court Monday. I asked him for more information and he would not give me any. He would not even tell me how much I owed. And then he hung up on me!

Play concerned and get money gram/western union info from them as if you want to pay them next time they call.

Gives you more ammo when you file a report.

this sounds like the same scammers I have been dealing with, tell me do the have very thick indian accents, and have very non indian name? such as andy taylor, arnold whatson, or even robin william? try googleing the phone number they call you from. if its the same people as the ones who keep calling me, they are a scam and they are actually in India!

does anyone know this number....813-283-0473..they are now calling my work...so i contacted an attorney and they told me to go to my bank and make sure all my information is correct with what my records are saying..which indeed they are...so then they told me to contact the fbi because these people sent me a threatening email and also threaten to do harm to me....so i have a case with the fbi...but yet they keep calling my cell phone...

I have an employee that was contacted today from the idiots in India stating they are representing Sonic Cash Net Bank. Well needless to say after her stressing out, she contacted her lawyer to get some help. Well after many calls back and forth and her not giving them any information, they were stupid enough to threaten her and say they were going to take her to jail...blah blah blah..... This did not sit well with me at all. Heck I would be left doing all the work . Well after reading this website, she called her lawyer back and alerted her that it was a scam. So we are sitting her waiting on the idiot to call back because he needs more information from her bank.... that's when I get to have some fun. For any one out there that would like to tie up at least one of their phone lines the number is 619-342-0094 and ask for Eric Smith. I guess he thinks he snmart for not using John Smith huh? Let the fun begin.

That is great news..........

That is great news..........

Try to get an 800# so they can be harassed for free.
