In no way am I a lawyer or anything remotely like it, but one thing I'm very sure of is that Collection Agencies have no authority to have arrest warrants issued. Please don't let them scare you with empty threats designed to intimidate you. I can't remember the exact name of it but many of these Rip Off Reports reference the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and you definitely want to familiarize yourself with it. Collection Agencies can attempt to collect, but they CAN'T terrorize you and you CAN stop them from doing so. I typed in the name of the act and the search engine came right up with www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm as a website for the act. Please check it out, you need to know this information. And thank you Rip Off Reports for the priceless service you provide!!! I would gladly pay a monthly fee to access this site, but I AM happy it's still free!! :)
