Complaint What Happened I got a call from XXXX asking to speak with XXXX XXXX. That is me so I confirmed. They told me they were with ARA XXXX and they were calling to notify me that a federal judgment would be filed against me for the debt I owe XXXX on an unpaid credit card balance. I told them I have never heard of that bank and do n't have a credit card with them. She asked me if the last XXXX of my social were XXXX and the numbers she gave were the last XXXX of my SSN. I said okay and the call was disconnected. I tried to call back and got the run around. They asked to look me up by my SSN but I would not give it to them. She asked what city and state I live in and was able to " find my account '' that way. She then read me all of my personal information. My full name, DOB, and SSN. She said that I had a federal judgment that was going to be filed and a summons to appear in court or a warrant for my arrest would be issued. She then told me she was only a receptionist so she would have to transfer me to the legal depart. I was then put on hold and nobody ever picked up.

Complaint What Happened XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Caller from ARA Inc. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not give statement that he was a debt collector or mention the call was being recorded. I did not acknowledge the debt yet he gave the debtor 's personal information including name, birthdate, and full social security number. He said the debt was from XX/XX/1997 in XXXX XXXX. I did not have any car repossessed in XXXX XXXX. He threatened me with legal action and that it would appear on my credit report. I informed him I would not give any information since I did not know who he was so he said he was going to " play this recording, because you are being recorded, to the court. '' The name he gave was XXXX XXXX. I informed him he was not to call this number again.

Complaint What Happened Today, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received a letter from ARA, Inc. stating that I owed them {$23000.00} for a debt that I did not incur. I called them immediately and was asked by their representative, XXXX XXXX XXXX, if my social security number was XXXX. I stopped him after the third number and told him it was not me. He then proceeded to tell me, " according to the Federal Social Security Database, that I am related to him. '' He then proceeded to tell me MY social security number and maintained that IF it was truly my s.s. number, that I had to be related to the other person with a name that happens to be identical to mine. I have a seven-year fraud alert on my credit report and he acknowledged that he saw that when trying to find his debtor. My question is : how is it possible that he gets my social security number when I have done nothing wrong and is able to threaten me with a bogus letter? Further, how can he lie about a Federal Social Security Database that tells him that his debtor is related to me?
