Nathan & Peters threats
I live in Texas, too. And I also just got a call tonight from a man at Nathan & Peters telling me the exact same thing! .... that I had filled out a credit card application in 1997 and that I had stated that I made over 4,000.00 and that I didn't owe any other creditors, etc. He then proceeded to tell me that those two statements were false because his fraud investigation company had investigated me and that I needed to now pay over 2000.00 on an original debt of 600 + dollars.
I did have a credit card from back then and made regular monthly payments, but thought I had paid everything off.
He left a message on my answering machine and left both his name and telephone number for me to call him back. He gave me his extension. I called back and was immediately put into the hold queue. When I called the phone number, the answering machine on his end did not state the name of the business. I also did not punch in his extension, just waited for the next available person to answer. The person who answered was the gentleman who had just called me. I told him I was returning his phone call and he asked for my phone number so he could call me right back (as soon as he got rid of another phone call). I gave him my number and he called right back.
When he left me the original message, he gave me a complaint number to reference. But when I called him back, he never asked for the complaint number, and proceeded to tell me the same thing that he had told you -- that I had committed fraud on a credit card application, etc.
He became somewhat abusive and implied that I was slow-witted and wasn't understanding what he was trying to tell me.
I have to admit, though, he seemed to know quite a bit about me. That I had moved several times, the exact date that I had originally obtained the credit card, the last payment made (and date of the payment). He also said that I had been sent several settlement offers over the past 5 years. I do remember receiving a couple of settlement offers, but ignored them since I assumed that the card was already paid in full. (I know... big mistake).
He kept trying to get me to agree to offer a large amount of money to settle the case so as not to have to recommend a trial to the original creditors. I told him that I did not have that kind of money to which he would always reply "you don't seem to be understanding that I'm not trying to get money out of you". But then he would go on to ask (again) what kind of arrangements I could make right then so that he would not have to recommend to his client that they take me to court.
I saw from another post that someone was wanting a phone number. I have two phone numbers, one from my caller ID and the other number is the one that he left on my voice mail for me to call him back on: Caller ID: 773-290-8631 Number he left on my caller ID: 888-543-0945
What did you end up doing? Are these people legit?
