I got a call today from "James" at this number, and he left a message on my voicemail that said "We are sick of people like you how don't pay their bills. You have until 5:00 today to pay this or you will never see the Packers play again." Isn't this a threat? Isn't that illegal?


Yeah...pretty much. I take it you're in WI? Nest time they call answer. Verify you're the person they are seeking. Verify your mailing address and inform them they now have 5 days to send you info on the alleged debt. End the call. Tape it if you can. If you are in a 2-party state, inform him you are recording immediately after you answer.

Yes, I'm from Wisconsin. I doubt if he will call back today, since I have until 5 pm to call them back. Should I call them? If I call them, I can't record. I never recieved anything in writing.

What you describe is a serious violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. A collection agency can't make any threats while attempting to collect a debt under 15 U.S.C. Section 1692(d). File suit against them in small claims court. Ask for $1,000 in damages for each violation, plus costs, and attorney fees.

The address that comes up for them is in Gulfport, MS, right? They have a web page with e-mail addresses.
