Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am very confused. I owe a credit card company money. I know the sold my debt but they couldnt tell me to who. I get a letter that is water logged and not readable. When I called the number of XXXX from online. Not one representative gave me an ID number. 
They kept pressuring me to make biweekly payments saying my offer ends tomorrow, XX/XX/23. Then decided to give me an extension. Something does not feel right. 
Is this a legitimate company? The number I called is ( XXXX ) XXXX the email address they sent to me is XXXX. 
Im very confused by the whole situation. Especially no one could give a NMLS ID.

Also, told me they only take ACH payments via credit or debit but only master or visa.

I just want to triple check their legitimacy. The other companys both collectors and creditors always give an ID and none have approached the situation like this. I am extremely weary and intimidated by their tactics. 
Thank you for your time and can not wait to hear your thoughts about this company and the way they handle collections. 
XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On Monday XX/XX/XXXX  at around XXXX PDT I received a phone call from XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and the caller said he was from a debt collection agency called Radius Global and that XXXX XXXX forwarded his company a {$100000.00} debt I supposedly have with a XXXX  XXXX XXXX and he was calling to collect payment on this debt. 

The person completely butchered the pronunciation of my name so I told him I think he had the wrong number because thats not my name and I never had a XXXX with XXXX XXXX. The caller said that was interesting and said he wanted to ask me some details to verify he had the right account and ensure this isnt fraud. So first he asked for the last 4-digits of my social security number which I gave to him. Then he asked for me to give my full mailing address which I thought was odd he didnt ask for a partial piece of the mailing address if he just needed to validate he had the right account up so then I asked him I dont feel comfortable giving out my full address because how do I know this isnt a fraudulent call. He then said he understood and I was welcome to XXXX his business, Radius Global, and can call the number I see on their website and settle the debt. 

I hung up and instead did a free credit report check with XXXX to validate there wasnt a fake XXXX  XXXX card opened under my name and SSN I didnt know about and saw that there isnt an open/active XXXX  XXXX card under my SSN so I think that confirms I got a fraudulent call.
