I received a called from my niece stating someone had called my ex- boyfriend from XX/XX/XXXX and wanted to find me cause I owed some money and did n't show up for court. When I hang up I received a unknown called with a message I needed to call a XXXX with a case #. that I need to call back or they would take different actions. I called the number and they identified as an attorney office named XXXX XXXX XXXX. While I was on the phone they verified some of my name, last XXXX social, and address. they wanted to settle my account I had on XX/XX/XXXX or they were going to take me to court, garnish my money and seized or seize my property. sadly to say I did settle a monthly with $ XXXX monthly for 6 months gave them my credit card information. when I hang up my husband did more research and found out there is no company named XXXX that exist anymore. the only attorney named XXXX XXXX retired back in XX/XX/XXXX. I felt mad and ashamed, of me giving them my credit card information to take care of a bill I could not pay back in XX/XX/XXXX. I did cancel my credit card right away. I still do n't know till this day if this is even a real creditor company.
