Highland Capital Debt Collection Complaint

Taking/threatening an illegal action Threatened to sue on too old debt Kansas

Received a phone call from a man claiming to be in the same county as I. He said he had legal paperwork to deliver, and that I was being sued by a company called Northwind Associates for an unpaid debt from 4 years ago. I asked what the debt was and he told me I had to call the company. He gave me a case number and I called. The man who I spoke with asked me to confirm my identity by giving my date of birth. He had my correct address, phone number, and email address. He proceeded to tell me that the debt needed to be paid otherwise I 'd be required to go to court. He offered me a settlement of $670.00. I paid it. I had remembered taking out a payday loan, but now that I 've done my research ( too late but I was TERRIFIED of having a man stalk me to hand me court paperwork and be sent to court or jail! ) I 've found that Northwind Associates is a scam company and they 're not legitimate at all. I just gave birth - months early to a baby boy - until -, if not later. These people contacted me -. I lost my job due to going into -. I can no longer work because I 'm on maternity leave and once my leave is up, the - is over ( I worked at a - ). The income of relied on to save up and be able to buy my baby his necessities for life has disappeared due to giving birth -. And then these jerks come along and scam me?! Now I 'm out $670.00 and with our - income completely gone ( my husband is military so we have that ) and a baby in the hospital over -, we 've been cheated and done wrong. I am so heartbroken and sick over this.
