Fictional bill “past collections”

My fiancée was called and texted multiple times this week by “Associates Recovery LLC” or “Associates Lein and Recovery” as one caller referred to themselves. They had his full social security number and other personal information including an extremely outdated email address. They said he owed over $2000, citing at different times that it was for a “hospital visit” or for an “ambulance ride” but they couldn’t share the date of service or what exactly it was for to “protect their client’s privacy.” They stated that their client “EMT Emergency Services” had submitted this to collections and that now the bill was “past collections,” and if my fiancée didn’t pay the bill in full that they would garnish it from his wages, and we could expect the sheriff to come over to our house to serve him a summons to a court date that would take place later this month. I googled the client name they provided and found nothing, it wasn’t a real company. We asked him to speak slower and answer our questions, and he did not slow his rate of speech and grew increasingly impatient as he pressured us to pay in full today because “there are a lot of people waiting to settle their bills, can’t you hear the phones ringing behind me?” When my fiancée explained that he was on public assistance and couldn’t afford to pay that bill, they offered him a “settlement” by email (unfortunately we offered them his current email address) which he did not sign once he learned he would still have to pay around $1000 up front which we couldn’t afford. So the caller said we should expect to be served papers this week and appear in court. Very aggressive scammers using high pressure tactics to elicit immediate payment under threat of legal ramifications. We called our local EMS services and they had no record of any past due bill or collections account. Make sure not to share any personal information with these b@stards.

SCAM, claiming civil litigation

This company has been texting for days. Finally called back. They had so much personal info it’s crazy. Claimed I was being civilly litigated in my county of residence for a line of credit at the bank that was never paid.

We did have a line of credit years ago but it’s been paid in full and I have the original promissory note stamped “paid in full” from the bank proving that.

Scam

Like you, they had all my information, including my SSN. But they had my old address. I asked for verification in writing of the debt, which is my right by law. Pretty sure it's a scam because they emailed me a letter to sign an agreement to pay, but there is no return address on it. They say it's a medical bill but won't tell me who it is with or the date of service. They claim they can't give out that information due to HIPAA. I said it's not medical information and I'm not paying a bill that I don't know who the creditor is. They finally told me it was for a hospital I haven't been to since 1998, and wasn't aware I owed money to back then. I tried to get their address and a name so my lawyer could contact them and they put me on hold and never came back. I tried to call back three times and it just want to voice mail.

I was scammed!

This company is not legit. I didn't realize until later when I got home.
They caught me off guard while I was at work in the morning.

Signature requested on "TIMECA SHAHEED ASSOC REC SETTLEMENT (93)"

That title is of the docusign they sent to me to sign. I am furious!

I received a call from 833-883-2928 while I was at work and I panicked, because they stated I owed for an old hospital bill. Was threatening all kinds of things towards me and listed everything on my credit report. I gave them my bank account information out of fear, so I am going to have to contact the bank and let them know, because I set up automatic drafts with them over the next 6 months. I am so upset about this! I just wanted to confirm that this is a scam.
