XXXX XXXX with XXXX and associates called my sister, on her personal cell phone asking for me. He told her that I owed a claim and they were trying to reach me before I was served papers by XXXX XXXX. ( I do not live in XXXX XXXX and have n't since XXXX ) He left a claim number XXXX and phone number XXXX. I called the number and asked what the company was and the individual asked for my phone number and I refused. He then said well I need something to pull you up with. I said I would like to know what type of company I 'm dealing with and why you are calling my family members looking for me ( not once did he state they were a debt collection agency attempting to collect a debt at all ). He said they were a acquisitions firm and they deal with over XXXX different areas that he needed a phone number or something to connect me with the correct area. I gave him the claim number XXXX. He confirmed my first and last name, and told me to give him one moment. About XXXX seconds later a second gentleman that did not give his name picked up the line and asked for my phone number. I refused again. He said in order to help me he needs info from me, and I asked him why did n't his last teammate give him that. I 'm not giving any more info than I have already provided. He immediately became extremely forceful and rude in his tone. He said he was XXXX manager, that XXXX was unavailable so he was taking over. I said so why is XXXX calling me. He said because you owe on an XXXX credit card. I said not sir I do not. XXXX was purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX around XXXX or so and any debt I owed to XXXX was paid back in XXXX by my mother on my behalf. He said no XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the debt, we are trying to contact you to give you the opportunity to pay before we garnish your wages on XXXX XXXX. I said there is no way you can garnish my wages for any debt that number 1 has been paid, and number XXXX that is from well over XXXX years ago. He said oh we can and because you do n't want to work with us we will go ahead and push the garnishment through early. I work XXXX and can lose my job for wage garnishment. This has to be illegal.
