Consumer Complaint: This company called contacts on an old debt file from a payday loan. When they contacted my brother on XX/XX/18 regarding this they disclosed personal information such as, we will serve court process at work and he owes a lot of money, which I believe violates my confidentiality.

I personally called the number that was given to my brother on the same day XX/XX/18, I was connected with a very rude person saying he was a legal consultant named XXXX XXXX. After a conversation with said representative my identity was confirmed via my last four of my social security number. I was told my debt was originally from XXXX XXXX and that my account and personal information with sold to to ACT ( account control technologies ).

After conversing with the representative he informed me of a law suit pending against me and demanding a certain amount of money ( $ XXXX ) to have it expunged, he then told me I had no choice but to get an attorney. At this point i felt threatened and he ending the call abruptly.

After learning of this company ‘s representative ‘s response I looked up any records of a civil law suit in my last name in the corresponding counties clerk of court only to find nothing regarding this.
