Capital Collections uses scare tactics to bilk you out of money you supposedly owe some company you have never heard of. They do not belong to the BBB. They tell you they are ready to serve papers citing attempt to defraud the company, refusal to pay what you owe, and other papers. They put you on hold to pretend they are getting ahold of the servers, and then come back online to negotiate a sum of hundreds of dollars when all is said and done. They warn you that they will press further charges if you do not comply with the terms you agreed upon , presumably on tape recording. They give no promise of recognition at the end of payments that you would get a paid in full obligation settled paper, signed by a real person and notarized, and sent through the mail. If they press you for payment, refuse, saying you will pay the next time you get paid. Do not give them bank or credit card information, as they will bleed your account dry in no time at all, leaving you with no money for anything. Do not entertain these people. Hang up on them immediately and all the police and file a report with them. Then hire a lawyer to help you find the scams and avoid them. Find a phone number that has a different area code than yours, and make sure you tell the phone company that you want it as a private number, not public.
