I started getting calls from Lakeside Recovery Solutions about a week ago. The person on the phone was very aggressive, saying I owe a debt from a few years back and that if I don’t pay immediately, they are going to sue me and garnish my wages. They also mentioned something about "checking with my employer."

The problem is, I haven’t received any letter or validation about this debt in the mail. I don’t even fully recognize the amount or the original creditor they mentioned. I asked them to send me proof, but they just kept pushing for payment over the phone. Now I’m scared I’m going to get served with court papers. Is it normal for them to threaten a lawsuit right away like this? How do I verify if this is even real without getting tricked into paying something I don't owe? Feeling really stressed and cornered here.
