Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 10th December 2015.
Advance America contracted a company to collect this debt. The company called my wife 's phone 5 times in a row, and then called my employer repeatedly as well. My wife called back, and she was told they would be arresting me. My wife was anxious and in tears. I called back and spoke with XXXX. XXXX was verbally abusive, and swore at me. I mentioned his tactics being a violation to FDCPA and that I would file a complaint with CFPB. XXXX said to shove the FDCPA up my XXXX, and he 'll file it for me. He called from XXXX, and told me to go to Advance America and pay now, or my XXXX was going to jail.
