Consumer complaint received 12/21/2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Cooper Hoffman Klein Associates (MI).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Indicated committed crime not paying

Complaint: I sent this complaint to the XXXX back in XXXX but wanted to advise you as well as the XXXX had no luck with this and these people continue to call me every single week threatening Criminal Prosecution : I have been receiving calls every week since XXXX/XXXX/2015. Voice mail was left by XXXX XXXX from Cooper Hoffman and Klein. She called three times indicating that a criminal action was pending against my last XXXX digits of SSN and if I did not call to make a statement in my defense criminal papers would be sent to XXXX XXXX. They did not indicate what it was regarding. This law firm does not appear to exist as I have tried search for it. I do see there are quite a few reports on it being a scam. They also contacted my brother XXXX told him I had a criminal complaint against me and I needed to call them back. That itself is against the law for this so called 'collection'or 'criminal ' action. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 XXXX left a VM told me I was avoiding her and that she is signing off on criminal complaint to XXXX XXXX clerks office and they are requesting a license suspension. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I received a recorded message from the same phone number that there was an issue involving my personal bank account and I needed to call or my have my attorney call. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I received another voice mail that was a 1 minute and 27 seconds in length from a gentleman stating his name was XXXX XXXX XXXX? ) XXXX. He said I was avoiding them and that as of XXXX that day they were filing a motion and sending an affidavit binding me to court costs and fees and a second supporting deposition with the " people of XXXX XXXX '' versus ( me - leaving name out ) in which I am the main defendant. They clearly do not even know what forms are involved or the proper plaintiff should be when you file a 'complaint ' not motion against someone to initiate legal action. Now every week I receive recorded messages stating it is my final notice and to call them back. 
The phone numbers they are calling from are : 1 ) ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2 ) ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The number they state to call back is : XXXX at either ext XXXX or XXXX. 
I obviously know this is some sort of scam especially when they do not even know the proper forms to file or who the Plaintiff should be. My concern is those who are actually frightened of these calls and actually pay these people.They need to be stopped!! I certainly would have received something in the mail prior to these phone calls if any action was against me. I do not even know what they are calling about - they tell me a criminal complaint and something against my personal bank account. Please do what you can to stop this scam, it is horrible for people to lose their money to these ignorant people. You would think that if they are calling from a supposed law firm that they could at least know the proper forms and proper parties to be named, this is so ridiculous. I refuse to answer their calls and I will not try to contact them as I feel this is some sort of scam and I want no part of it. I have since blocked their number but I still see them come in on my blocked call list every week. The pattern seems to be one week they will call on Monday and Wednesday and the next week they will call on Tuesday and Thursday.
