Re: Threatening Call by Debt Collector - What to Do? HELP

Good advice so far, except for the part about canceling your credit cards. That would be a bad move.

Concerning the question about my starting score, it was 3 years ago I started my journey.
Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

Tell them you'll pay themin full, cash but they'll have to meet you at the police station to pick up.  Scam, obviously don't pay.

Thanks everyone, this has indeed been a learning experience.  I will report the number to the call center as well, not sure if it will help because it's one of those fake numbers with a fake office too.
