Wells Fargo Debt Collection Complaint

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

Wells Fargo Debt collection department,

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

I first recieved a call from an UNKOWN number, I picked up and a man answered, when I asked him the reason for the Call he said my name and asked me to acknowldege if it was me. He said he was with a processing company and that they were trying to reach me so that they could serve me with papers for reasons that he was not able to say, he gave me a number to the law firm attempting to provide me with summons papers. - I called this number and gave them the case # that the man had provided, they pulled me up and transfered me to their Legal Dept '' where a lady named - - picked up and told me about a debt that I had never even heard of. A Wachovia bank acct overdrawn $1600.00 ... she said if I did not pay that I would be sued and taken to court. She then offerd me a settlement of $750.00 dollars and asked for my EMAIL so i could send her the contract with my credit card information, afraid for my credit score I complied and gave her my email address, after she said if taken to court that I would end up spending thousands more. I called my father and he immediatley understood this was a scam he advised me to file an FTC complaint and advised me not to send these people a single dollar. I am writing this in hopes that some type of action can be taken against these people to prevent innoncent consumers fron buying into these disrgraceful practices.
