Does anyone have an address for Prelitigation Inc? I need to send them a letter, they are harassing me now. They are calling everyday.


These clowns called me 5 times in the past hour just to get me to spell my name for them. When I asked for an English speaking person, they just spoke louder. This one was Steve Hawkins. When I asked if that was a British or Scottish name he got insulted.
I just told them that I was recording the call to turn over to my lawyer and the police dept. Funny they haven't called back since.
I don't have any bad debts so I have no idea why they're calling me, and on my cell phone at that.

This man with a foriegn accent called and said he as with "United Federal Legal". He called from 954-237-6824 and gave me 45 minutes to come up with money. He said his name was Steve Hawkins and if I didn't he would have me arrested at my job etc. I asked him to send me information in writing he told me "he wasn't my servant" and if I'd just listen to him I'd know what I needed to do. So I listened then he proceeded to tell me that he bought my debt and fumbled to cover that part up. He was going to fax paperwork to the local police department and have me arrested at home/work. I then tried to make payment arrangements, said he couldn't help me and I'd pay over $3,000.00 in a New Jersey court and proceeded to hang up on me. I have filed complaints with the attorney General's office and the FTC. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!

I'm sorry but I have to call bull $&#@ on this one. They cannot have you arrested, post your picture in the paper, or make you lose your family. They are using scare tactics that are highly illegal (persuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) If it is legal in your state to record phone conversations I would call them back and get it on tape. Contact your attorney general's office and file a complaint. If you can get it on tape then you would have concrete evidence to take them to court for fdcpa violations (you may be awarded up to $1000) in addition to that the Federal Trade Comission should be notified.

They called me today about an outstanding payloan I recieved from Fox Enterprises. They said I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay now. Then I said I would try to work something out, and he went into another room and acted like he told police to hold off for now in arresting me. That is when I got suspscious!
They just called my work again. They said they would write my VP of Operations of my company and let them know, and that I would lose my job. I knew I couldn't lose my job, but can I really be arrested?

They cannot arrest you, debts are civil matters, not criminal. By threatening you with this action they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Which is also a civil matter. You can sue them for $1000 in statutory damages, including punitive damages of mental anguish, defamation of character, etc. Also file complaints with their states attorney general's office and the FTC.

Freaked, looks like they don't mind breaking the law. I'm surprised that some collection agencies are still stupid enough to use the "you're going to be arrested" tactic. That's a $1000 violation of the fdcpa in your pocket, as well as if the communicate the debt to a third party (like the VP you mentioned).

Record the calls, if legal, or at best keep a detailed log. Then sue them.

There are lots of these places.
The best thing to know:

They must provide you in writing proof of the debit, if you ask for it (I suggest send it to them in writing)
Force them to send it to you registered mail, and make them send it so that you have to sign for it.

You can also get their address and tell them to stop calling you in writing. Send registered mail so someone has to sign for it. By Federal Law they must comply and not call you again.

IF they do not it is a scam and tell them to $#@!$ off and kiss your @#!$#@!
Or if it is a legitimate firm it then becomes harassment and you are in a position to sue for damages
That is a Federal Law.
