On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a voice mail from a lady named XXXX around XXXX and on the voice mail she threaten to take legal action if I did n't return her call by XXXX. She left XXXX numbers on the recording : XXXX and XXXX. Because of the threating tone, I told my XXXX husband, XXXX. I provided him with the phone numbers because I was experiencing mental anguish over the nature of the call and had not gathered my composure. He called and XXXX XXXX answered the call. XXXX XXXX was rude and told me that she was calling about the debt associated with a discover card account # XXXX in the amount of {$2900.00}. I indicated that we both had experienced episodes of identify theft and I would like to speak to her supervisor. At that time, she placed me on hold and I was able to speak to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked XXXX XXXX when was this debt incurred and she stated that the account was open on XXXX and closed XXXX. When I asked XXXX XXXX why was she attempting to collect a debt over eleven years old, she stated that her company just got the account. When I told her that she was not following federal guideline as a debt collection agency, she became irate and evasive. I asked to proof her identify by reciting her driver 's license and she refused. I told her that she had not validated the debt. I told her to show proof that the debt was assigned to her collection agency along with the date and by whom. XXXX XXXX hung up the phone. In fact, the phone was hang up on me XXXX or XXXX times each time I called back. After getting off the phone, I told my XXXX wife that someone is conducting an illegal investigation into our credit background. I asked my XXXX wife did she know anything about the debt and she told me that that account was dissolved in bankruptcy court in XX/XX/XXXX. After this incident, I researched this collection company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and found the owner to be XXXX XXXX and that the company was bonded XX/XX/XXXX. As with a similar complaint on file with your agency # XXXX, this above named collection agency had no legal standing to attempt to collect a debt that was already liquidated and well out of the statute of limitations. Please have XXXX XXXX provided his occupation over the past twenty years and the name of the individual, his affiliation, his company, the creditor who forwarded this account to his collection company. Also, please have XXXX XXXX provide documented proof that this debt was assigned to him by the original creditor, a workable phone number to reach said individual and the driving license number of said person, and again the date that this debt was assigned to his company. The request for a driver 's license of the person who transferred this debt is significant because we believe that this is a bogus and fraudulent attempt to collect a debt and it violates the fair debt collection practices.
