Complaint #1544728 submitted on 08/31/2015 relating to Western Portfolio Assets. Complaint relates to Debt collection Credit card - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 3rd September 2015.
My mother received a call from Western Portfolio Asset which she forward to me. When I spoke to them, they demanded payment from me for a debt that I owed on a credit card many years ago. They told me I would be sued and that a law enforcement personnel would be sent to my home to issue a judgement against me. I was scared so I gave them my info and signed a document including my debt info to make the first payment. It was not until later did I realize I was scammed. The person I spoke to would not allow me to settle my debt or offer other payment methods. I was not able to speak to anyone else regarding my debt except this XXXX individual and after multiple requests did he send me a receipt for the first payment I made and the paperwork with info from the law office that supposedly bought the debt. My credit history did not match up with the debt they were seeking. I looked up more info about the company found out about their illegal debt collecting practices and scams against consumers.
