Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action Threatened to sue on too old debt South Carolina

I got a phone call from a lady from - - - saying that I had a credit card debt from - through Juniper Barklay bank and if I did n't give them authorization to take money out of my current bank account they were going to serve me with papers at my job the following day. I explained to her I did n't know what she was talking about and that I was at work and would loose my job for being on the phone could I have a number to call her back, a gentlemen then came on the line and said it was time sensitive and if I did n't cooperate now they would serve me at work and freeze all my assets and spouses bank account and start garnishing my wages. I talked him into giving me a number and tried to call them back several times after I left work with no answer. He called me back today telling me that if I did n't give him some type of account number that they would proceed and the - would freeze up mine and my husbands bank accounts if I did n't cooperate and give


any information about where the card was opened or who signed the original contract until I paid it off. They had me convinced that if I did n't comply with them they would serve me papers at work for court and freeze my bank account he told me he knew I had a credit card that I could pay this debt off with and I do not. He said he was looking at my credit report as we spoke on the phone. they wanted me to give them my debit card number and allow them to take $1000.00 out of my account tomorrow. I hadnt ' even had - hours notice of even trying to fix this and they had me in tears at my job. He wanted me not to pay my house payment but pay him over the phone. They called my work - days in a row. They started off wanting $3000.00 then backed it $1000.00 now he wants $500.00 by Monday - - or they are gon na pursue taking me court. I do n't even know if this is legitimate and they wont ' send me documentation that is until ive paid it off. It very well could be something my ex husband opened in my name but I want clarification of this. I do n't want to be harassed and threatened to the point that I cant ' do my job at work because they have used scare tactics to make me pay a debt I did n't know existed until yesterday. My husband called the - and they referred us to this site.
