Avenue Credit LLC Legal Notice Scams

"We have given you more than enough time to complete the payment but you didn't complete the payment and any response, so Now in your case file has been forwarded to our Attorney,
I am trying to help you but you are being difficult.
Well, we are going to meet in the courthouse and please hire federal attorney for you, because you doubt our company's integrity so it is better that we fight with you in district courthouse.
See you there soon..."

I keep receiving this annoying threat
How do I stop this? I have continuously sent it to spam

I also received a few of these emails with my ss# on it.. I haven't been on this site until today and from everyone who had shared the emails they received from them, I noticed that everyone, including myself, owed the same amount of $1,220. I highly doubt this to be a coincidence. There is no way for that amount to be the exact same amount owed by everyone they collecting from.

I am getting very nervous as I continue to get threatening emails from this company with my social security number

I received letter #2 with my social on it. I do not owe any debt like this, never heard of them. They also said a $1200 debt will turn into $12,000 if taken to court. Whoever is scamming isn't the brightest! You should change your company name, and the debt amount owed that everyone is also getting. It's the exact amount and breakdown. They also sent my scam from another Gmail account. Get a life! Karma will come back. And I am reporting the online scam.

I received this scam.

This is totally a scam. I owe no one money. They even used an e-mail I have not used in over 10 years

Some of their Emails show real SSN. How come there has been nothing done? If authorities know about these scammers, why are they do nothing to stop them?

"From: collectiondepartment980@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2020 8:44 AM To: Cathy Skillman Subject: 2-Day Notice Dear City:- State:- CA Zip:- 92683 S.S.N.:- March 26th, 2020, I realize you haven’t reacted to my previous notices concerning your account. I have written to you quite a few times over the past 11 months requesting an explanation on why you have failed to bring your account with us current. Including the interests, the amount due is now $1220.00. Unfortunately, by ignoring these warnings you are damaging the excellent credit record you had previously maintained with AVENUE CREDIT LLC in addition, you are incurring additional expenses to yourself and to us. Please arrange payment of this account today or, if you cannot make full payment at this time, please contact us to make a payment arrangement that is mutually acceptable, I hate to engage in that process but unless you communicate with us within 2 days, we will have no other choice but to turn your account over for collection. I am sorry that we are about to take such a drastic action but I am afraid you leave us no alternative. You can preserve your credit rating by remitting your check today for the amount stated above. Please note if your account is not paid within 2 days, we will take legal action without further notice. Sincerely, AVENUE CREDIT LLC" Received this scam.

I have received a notice and I am very concerned about my social security being put out there.

Contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 for help.

I have gotten the same letter for $1220 delinquent notice. Obviously a scam, but what frightens me is that the social security number they had listed for me was only one digit off.
