Susan you seem to understand the law. This company seems to do this same thing, the low of the lowest, continue to dunn people after agreeing to settlements, or payments in full, duplication of a garnishee, in another thread on this website.
You seem knowledgeable, get up and go. File complaints to Illinois attorney general and Federal Trade Commission. They have had numerous complaints.
I was shocked at some of the tactics utilized by this co. they are the lowest of the low.
As for this individual calling you and making those threats, if valid, they may go beyond the fair debt collection practices act, and seem to border on criminal extortion. I would seek legal advice, if you could record what you SAY she says to you, boy would you have a stick of dynamite to maybe have this place clean itself up.
On another consumer site an ex-employee, admitted their tactics, and said they don't hire, pofessional collectors, just take people w/o experience and throw them on the phone, and have no long time employees, probably to their advantage if the government ever gets after them.
I'm amazed at what these companies (debt buyers) are getting away with, and the only one who seems to be doing a good job going after all these fraudulent phone thieves is Anthony Cuomo of the N.Y. attorney general's office, from the lowest mortgage mitigationists, to the collection agencies, all taking advantage of the most need in our society.
