regarding a phone call from 8882466420

No, you cannot go to jail. This most likely is a scam trying to scare you into sending them money. It could also be a collection agency. If it is, next time you talk to them ask them to send validation of the debt. Whatever you do, don't send anyone any money (or give them your account number) unless you know they are legitimate.

Credit is a civil matter. You cannot go to jail for not paying a debt. Any collection agency who calls and makes these types of threats is generally some pond scum outfit that a) doesn't even have the right to collect the debt b) can't validate the debt and c) is breaking the law. Don't let them scare you. Call back, do NOT give them any of your info. If they're legit, they'll already have it. And do NOT pay them anything unless they can send you something in WRITING! If they refuse, tell them to buzz off and never talk to them again.

thanks for the advise, ..but i did still call this guy ystrday and tried to settle, suppose today for a lesser amt which is 500, but then this morning i called aftr i read ur letter, and i remember asking him what company he represents, but would give me a vague answer like, jst gave me an initial like apf and start talking abt me paying my debt,..when i asked him if he could send me a validation of the debt,cause i want to make sure that i am paying the right debt, he started freaking out,...and saying i just have to wait for the summon.

yeah bottomfeeder.they should have sent that before demanding payment.i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for not only the summons,but anything from them.
