Narrative (may be redacted).

In XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX I held a bank account with XXXX. Unfortunately I was not fiscally responsible and my account ended up going back and sent to collections. In XXXX I was contacted by the law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX out of XXXX, XXXX with whom I entered a settlement agreement with. I completed my settlement agreement on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and received a Release of Liability from the law firm. Recently, a woman by the name of XXXX began calling me and stating that her company was attempting to collect a debt for XXXX. After supplying her with a copy of my Release of Liability, XXXX stated that they were different accounts and different amounts ( which should be obvious as I settled with XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This prompted me to research her company ( ID Solution out of XXXX ) and email address XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX ) as well as her phone number ( XXXX ). No information came up for any of this. I contacted XXXX Collections directly and they confirmed the account number XXXX XXXX XXXX held as well as when my account was open and closed ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). They also cautioned me that this company may be a scam after I shared my concerns over the behavior of XXXX. I called XXXX back and supplied her with the information XXXX had given me. She became hostile and aggressive and informed me that her company had purchased the debt from XXXX XXXX and that the date of last activity was XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her for the name of her company, but she was evasive and stated that I " had her email address. '' I explained nothing came up when I was searching for it and that was when she stated they were out of XXXX. I asked for a website and she refused to supply one. When I told her that did not give her much credibility she became more hostile and downright rude. I informed her that I would contact XXXX XXXX directly and she retorted, " You do that! '' and hung up on me. XXXX XXXX had XXXX phone numbers on their website, XXXX of which was disconnected. The other was actually a different company and they indicated they did n't know what was going on with XXXX XXXX but that they may be closing down. They had absolutely no information about my alleged account that was sold to ID Solution and shared with me the same caution that I should be wary of ID Solution as there are a lot of scams going on out there. XXXX has continued to call and harass me, threatening me with legal action if I do not pay this false debt of {$1600.00}. I have blocked her number on my phone, but it frequently rings in as " private '' and I can not avoid those calls.
