Collectors are nasty people. NO you can not be arrested for a credit card debt. If they want money, they have to get a judgment and you would received notification of a hearing for pretrial first.
This is a clear violation of lawand you have a claim against "them," whoever they are. I suggest you not erase the number of call. See my website for the law on this. Want to know the law?
