Megan, First of all, you need to explain what a "false overdraft" is. I have never heard of that. Second, you need to let us know how they got your banking info? Did you give it to them? Did you make an "agreement to pay?. If you did either of these things, you are screwed, and no lawyer can help you, as you legally affirmed the debt. Third, NEVER speak to any debt collector on the phone!! Demand everything in writing. You have the right under federal and state laws to demand they CEASE COMMUNICATIONS. This needs to be in writing and sent by certified means. The threats they made are illegal. You cannot be arrested for a bad debt, and even them making th threat is illegal? Do you have a recording or a witness to this threat? If so, sue them for that FDCPA violation. STAY OFF THE PHONE!!!
