CCI Incorporated???

I got a phone call today from a CCI incorporated. They apearently have one of our debts. I could find nothing about this place on the web. He called himself a debt mediator or something like that and said he had my Social Security number on hold, or red. And that meant he could take money from my paycheck. He was willing to settle the debt for $300 less then the amount if we paid now. Anyone ever heard of this company? The number is 866-471-7100.
To me this sounds completely fishy. Or maybe I have never heard of this on hold thing. Any information would be great. This person wants a call back today.
Is CCI doing collections on this account? If they have your file
Is CCI doing collections on this account? If they have your file, did they show it to you in writing? What is the proof that they are doing legitimate collections on you? If you have received nothing in the mail, send a debt validation letter because they are also bound to follow the fdcpa unless they are an internal collection house for your credit company.

ITs actually CTI
My wife had it wrong. They do seem to have the company name, correct amount, and all that. On the phone right now.
He kept saying my social was linked to the account. Of course it
He kept saying my social was linked to the account. Of course it would be since I opened the account and I am sure they wanted my social to do that. But he also said it was red. I pressed him on this a bit and he seemed defensive, thought I was misunderstanding something. Also that he was going into some meeting tomorrow and wanted to show that I wanted to take care of this. He got nicer as the call went on. He is supposed to fax me information about this tomorrow. Its funny that I am looking at getting this stuff cleared up as soon as I can with a debt place and now these places decide to hound me.
