About two months ago I kept getting a call from some number I didnt recognize. I never answered and finally I did, heard the mans name and hung up. I thought it a telemarketer. In any case, he called right back and left me a voicemail saying "You know EXACTLY why Im calling you. Call me back." So the next day, I did. He said I owed x amount to a chase credit card from 2006 and if I didnt set up a payment arrangement I was going to be served with papers and sent to court. I told him I wanted to talk to my husband before I did anything but he wouldnt let me off the phone saying I would have court costs, jail time, they were going to come to my job and embarrass me, etc.
So panicking, I gave him my husbands card number (didnt have mine at the time) andset up payment arrangements. That afternoon I went home, my husband was furious. He said the debt was almost 7 years old and did I know where hese people were calling from and why all of asudden? (I hadnt recieved a call over that debt in almost 5 years.) So, when I called back to cancel the payments he refused to take my card off and continued charging me every two weeks. He told me he'd only stop taking the money if I gae him soe other form of payment. I told him the card was in my husbands name, he didnt authorize the payments, and asked he refunded $75 of which he told me he charged by accident. Long story short, i gave him a different card number that no longer worked (by that time i had done research and realized this wasnt a legit debt collector. saw numerous threads about people being threatened). He called my job yesterday saying they wre going to come and arrest me for bad checks and that I owed money and that I was non complying. He told this all to the RECEPTIONIST. He then called my cell, I told him to not called my job and hung up. He called back and left a voicemail saying he wouldnt give me back any of my money, i was non complient, and to "have fun in jail - tood a lu!"
I have NO idea how he got any of my information including my number, work info, ss number, etc. I dont know what to do. Should I just let this go? Im furious he would be such an a-hole and I want to make him pay for this!
