Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Pendleton Capital Management
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/19: XXXX XXXX to my employer and to a former partner of mine- (but no calls to me?)

I was informed that this company - Pendleten Pre-Legal- left a message(s) for me to return their phone call. The female who left the message indicated that is was regarding "a legal matter"; the message was left at a employer's desk where personal phone calls are not permitted. Furthermore, said female left a voicemail with a former partner of mine. As the alleged borrower of the debt they are trying to collect on, I've never received any notification via phone or mail myself.  I attempted to resolve the issue over the phone, but was threatened with court action if there was no resolution by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/19, which is today, when I stressed that I did not receive any prior notification via mail. I was notified that multiple emails were sent, which is pish posh. I'm confident the loan this "establishment" is attempting to collect on stems from several identity theft issues that I've had in the past. Should I receive notification of the alleged debt via registered mail (wherein I must sign for the receipt of the mail), I would be more than happy to review the information and determine if I should act or not. I would like the know the alleged loan agency, the amount, when the loan was received, and any other pertinent details- again- all via registered mail.  However, I've not received any communication from this company whatsoever other than some abstract details via a phone call today. I asked to speak to management many times, and was told there was no manager. I notified my employer that this was a scam as I have no verifiable information from this "establishment" at hand, and to transfer all of the proceeding phone calls to security. I believe this establishment, Pendleton Capital Management, is in violation of the FDCPA. Though I used profanity in return and probably should not have, the female(s) on the receiving end of the phone used abusive language , have spoken or implied to others about an alleged debt, have called a workplace ( they were notified during today's conversation that said employer does not allow personal phone calls as I work in healthcare ), told a co-worker I've committed a crime (or implied as much with the phone call itself). If there is a judgement against me, or a pending judgement, I would like to see the court documentation. Again, a registered letter would suffice. As I understand, a collector cannot state that a law suit will be filed nor that my wages will be garnished if that is not the intention (both of the aforementioned statements transpired during the call today- which I recorded myself, and I was told I need to fix by XXXX   today). I have filed a report with the XXXX as well.   Lastly, this agency should expect certified mail from me  wherein my wishes to have them stop immediately contacting me, my partners (former/current) and employer(s) (former/current) or anyone that I know for that matter- via phone.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
