Two major utility providers that were swallowed up by bigger utility providers, but I allegedly owe the old utility provider (OUT OF BUSINESS!) a sum of money. Same with the other provider (OUT OF BUSINESS.)
Utility Company A was bought out by Utility Company B. Pressler and Pressler serves a lawsuit an an address I lived at in 1999 stating that I owe Utility Company A, which is NO LONGER AN ENTITY, a sum of money. P.S. - All my information is current with the DMV, which is also a matter of public record. You can find anybody if you have $40.00 and a first and last name.
Better Yet :
You owe me $3,500.00. Contact me immediately to make payment arrangements.
I refuse to prove this debt because there I have no legal obligation to.
I also want your drivers license number, social security number, all your bank account information as well as any vehicles you posess (even beat up old pickups with confederate flags and a shotgun rack, Georgia Boy) if you refuse, I'll have the court issue a warrant for your arrest.
Better yet, I'll just pay someone off in your bank to give me your account information and take the money myself by greasing the county officials as well.
Why don't you go through and read the 51+ other complaints about this company (if your attention span can handle it) - are they deadbeats too?
Why did I even waste 4 minutes of my life writing this? I've taken dumps that have more intelligence than you.

I don't know why people cannot comprehend the very basic principle of STAYING OFF THE PHONE!!
NEVER speak to any collector on the phone.
It WILL make things worse as you found out.
Furthermore, nobody can "issue a warrant" except for a law enforcement agency or court.
"Warrants" are NOT issued in civil debt cases.
A little basic legal knowledge and some common sense goes a long way.
Nobody can get a judgement against you and/or levy your wages or bank accounts without FIRST suing you and winning.
This is where you nail them.
P&P, along with many other "bottomfeeders" are famous for what is known as "sewer service". They knowingly "serve" you at a bad address so they know you will not respond, then they quickly move for a default judgement, and garnishment order.
Communicate only in writing and only via certified mail, return reciept requested. Be sure to put the certified# in the body of the letter and keep a copy for your records. This proves exactly what you sent.
By the means above, file a BAR ASSOCIATION complaint against them for the unethical behavior and illegal acts of filing falsified documents with the court.
Also, file a complaint with the court for the illegal filings.
Send the same complaint to the DA and seek prosecution for the illegal filings, as filing any false document with the court is a felony.
File complaints at ftc.gov for the FDCPA violations.
In the future, STAY OFF THE PHONE!!!

Could it be you're part of the reason these companies you apparently owed money to are out of business?
I guess you're not too concerned about that...deadbeat.
