I got a call from 877-252-0491 threatening legal action on a pdl that I don't remember taking out. They wouldn't tell me who the lender is either does anyone know who they are

Scared in Iowa

I would file complaints against them with the FTC and your state

I would file complaints against them with the FTC and your states AG. Next time they call tell them that you know they have 5 days from first contact to send you something in writing and that you will not speak with them until you receive it in the mail. If they actually have the nerve to send you something then send a debt validation letter to them.

Google the phone number....they are a bunch of scam artist. Do not pay them a penny. Actually I would recommend reporting them to your state AG's office.

If a collection agency has threatened you regarding a pdl you do

If a collection agency has threatened you regarding a pdl you don't owe, then you should report the matter to FTC. The collection agencies are not allowed to threaten consumers as per the FDCPA laws.

Yes, these scam artists have to be reported with the State AG, FTC and the BBB.
You must know how the FDCPA may come to your help -
