Consumer Narrative
on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted my husband ( XXXX XXXX ) about an old debt in my name ( XXXX XXXX ) and had his social security number. XXXX XXXX said they would be serving court papers and a lien would be placed on our house but that my husband could pay {$1000.00} over the phone to stop the process. My husband said he needed to speak with me first. I contacted XXXX XXXX, who told me the original debt was over {$400.00} dollars from TD Bank XXXX, but that now with fees it would be over {$4000.00} if we went to court. He said they would be serving me court papers on Thursday. I told XXXX XXXX I did not ever owe TD Bank XXXX that amount and that I had disputed a smaller amount back when I had the account, prior to XXXX. He said they would be serving me court papers. XXXX XXXX hung up on me, then 15 minutes later contacted my employer and asked for the physical address, telling the secretary they would be serving me court papers on Thursday. He then called and left another message on my voice mail. I did not acknowledge the debt, nor have we received any written correspondence in regards to this debt. I have not had an account at TD Bank XXXX in more than 13 years. His number is XXXX ext. XXXX. He said my case number is XXXX. I believe the statute of limitations for old debt in my state is 6 years and that XXXX XXXX is trying to scare us into paying money we do not ( and have not ever ) owed. I also pulled my credit report from XXXX to make sure I hadn't overlooked anything and there is no mention of this debt to be found on my credit report.
