FIA Card services told my father to tell me to prepare to go to jail!

FIA Card Services has stooped to the level of outright extortion! Yesterday, one of their in house collection reps called my father and told him to tell me that I was going to jail over a debt. Now, I owe them. No denying that. I got got behind on paying them. No denying that either. But, what they did was extortion. It began at about 8:00 am yesterday morning. FIA called my father and demanded to know where I was. He in turn demanded to know who was calling. She shouted "tell me where he is NOW!!". My father hung up. By 8:15 am, she had called back 7 more times. On the 7th phone call, my father picked up and told her that if she called back, then she would be reported to the authorities for harrassment. So, she identified that she was with FIA Card Services and that they were attempting to collect a debt on me.

He asked had they tried calling me, and she replied "yes, but he is avoiding us". That is true. I have been avoiding them. I should not have done that. But, that doesn't justify them harrassing my father. She then went on to give my father FULL disclosure. I mean everything you can think of. My full balance. How much I owed to get the account current. How long I had been a customer. How fast I ran up the card. Where I used the card. More violations of the FDCPA. The following are exact quotes of the rest of the phone call. "Your son does not know who he is screwing around with. We have power to do things to him that he can not begin to imagine. We will make his world come down around his ears. We will gun for him for the rest of his life. Your son is a criminal. Unpaid debt is a serious offense. Make him aware that we will be getting a judge to issue a bench warrant for his immediate arrest. Once he is apprehended, he will be held without bond. In fact, at this point, he may want to just go turn himself in. Plead guilty. Serve 3-5 years. Get off a little lighter. But, when he gets out, he'll still owe us. We win. Not him. He belongs behind bars. We're putting him there. Of that he can be sure. He barked up the wrong tree. Tell your criminal son that. Tell him it's over. Be sure and tell him. Stop acting like you don't know where he is. The cops will find him. You can count on that. And when they do, it won't be pretty. You get that message to your outlaw son. Tell him to grow eyes in the back of his head."

I am speechless. Where do they get off thinking they can say those things? Again, I am responsible. I owe them. I will catch back up. It just takes time. But, my gosh, these people are scum. I admit, I am terrified right now. I jump at every little sound. I will flench every time I see a police car. Do I have ANY recourse here? It seems like I should be able to file some sort of complaint. That at the very least. Thanks.
