Everything we have read on here does greatly sound familiar. My husband and I got a priority gram from nation check control also. He called the # on there and talked to a Mr. Alex Cazar, he threatened to put a warrant out for his arrest in the county we used to live in IF he didn't pay it by 9:00pm on Tuesday. That would a been 7:00pm where we live, no way. so I called to find out why we had never received a bill in the mail before on this and he was VERY RUDE, scream and yell at me and then proceeded to tell me that he told my husband it would be the next day that the warrant would be issued. I called my parents to see if they could put it on their card and told them what happened. They said to call the police because what they did was ILLEGAL; according to the fair debt collection act they CAN NOT threaten you at all. Even the cop that I talked to said the same thing and that they can't put a WARRANT out for anyone’s arrest this is a civil matter only the police/judge etc... can get a warrant, most courthouses have a specific area called the "bad restitution program" well it is called that in MN. Chris called them back the next day to find out the check #, the amount, the name of the bank etc... he couldn't get a hold of Mr. Cazar so he got a hold of the receptionist he told her what he wanted she then gave him the check # but that is all she said that they don't have that info (a pause then quickly said) up here, Chris got aggressive and said then I suggest you get Mr. Cazar on the phone now, she said you are telling me what to do now you bad check writer then she put him through. Mr. Cazar said that that was not important, that the only thing that was important was for us to pay it to him now. He proceeded to say that if we don't then he will issue the warrant, Chris got a little upset and told him that the warrant was a bunch of BS, guy hung up on him, he called back and the guy said that it is out of his hands and in the attorneys hands now and that a warrant will be issued. Chris called the place that we SUPPOSEDLY wrote the check to and they have no record of it (+ why would they let us write more checks there if we had a bad check). We are getting the bank we go through to find the check and have to pay them $20 per hour to find it on microfilm, When Chris called him back for a 4th time he told him that the place we wrote the check has no record of it and Mr. Cazar said that they wouldn’t because they were paid off. And then said again it is out of our hands and in the attorneys. And hung up on him, I find it pretty pathetic this guy can’t stay on the phone and listen to the people that supposedly owe him money childish if you ask me but no one did. We told him to fax or email the info we wanted and he wouldn’t, which I am not sure but think is illegal I mean who would pay for something that was supposedly written 2 yrs before and not even sure that it was a bad check. All our documents got lost in a flood a yr ago this next June 24th (sewer water) so we will not ever know. I talked to my lawyer about this and he said the same thing the cop said and to call the attorney general of MN so we did, they are sending out a complaint form for us to fill out.
