When agencies like Nationwide Credit have false information about a debt they are trying to collect, it may feel like a scam, but is usually it is a mix up with a social security number or an old debt that may have been closed out.
Sometimes, the debt collectors may not believe you or want to work with you in order to fix these issues, and may resort to threatening you, or trying to intimidate you. These tactics plus many others are not allowed by any debt collectors, including Nationwide Credit.
You do have the right to dispute any debt, and the collection agency, must prove that the debt is in fact yours. Make sure you document any phone calls and any other communications you have with Nationwide Credit.
