just got a call from this # at work and it was a recording saying, "there has been a complaint filed against your social security number, please press one to speak to legal represention" over and over.

We understand, like most people today have very little money and economy is slow in recovery with foreclosure and unemployment on the rise

Your aim is to pay your debt, because its the right thing to do, If you can not afford to pay, then negotiation is always an option with the collector or original creditor, hire an attorney through legal aid or legalshield a prepaid legal provider with top notch representation. Think about it, for a small amount of money each month you can have a peace of mind and stop harassment.

Remember it is prohibited by law to be harassed by any debt collector, creditor or individual, even if you owe.

Yes, I think they are collection agency.  On the recording  they gave a claim number and to have  ss# when  calling 1 800 or 1 888.  I believe this call is for my brother. huh.

I got a call from this Number and I called it back. The guy came across very strong and threatened that there would be charges filed against me and one of my references with the County courts for a payday loan. he said if i didnt pay today his client will proceed and there will be a warrant for my arrest as of the next day. He also said the sheriff would be serving me at my work place.  Is this even possible? Can they put a warrant out for my arrest on a payday loan?

I got a voicemail from this number...the man (Jeff) said that it was from an unpaid loan thru checkngo (which is legit)...but I'm not sure about the threat of what will supposedly happen tomorrow morning...

just an fyi..there are dallas county constables office all over the county of dallas!  including mesquite, irving, etc

here's another good trick. if you have unlimited calling, just keep calling them over and over and over again. tie up their phone lines. they can't do anything to you about it. if they threaten you with going to the police for harassment or anything like that, it's complete crap. they can't go to the cops because they're running a scam and would end up giving themselves away. that will get the calls to stop for sure.

this is a complete SCAM! i just called them on behalf of a potential client and they refuse to give a mailing address for payment. they refuse to provide proof of the debt in writing. here are some red flags for those of you out there who may be getting calls and unsure if they're legit collectors or not. 1) they won't tell you who they are without you prying it from them 2) they won't give you a physical mailing address 3) they will only accept CC or check payment over the phone, immediately 4) they make outrageous claims like the "Sheriff" is going to come arrest you at work. many legit collectors will sometimes use these tactics but the scammers use them all and go way overboard. the best thing to do is tell them w/o any proof of who they are and that they are collecting on a legit debt, you consider them to be a scam and will NEVER pay them a dime. this is when the calls will stop as they realize you have figured out their scam and will have to move on to their next victim.

this is a payday collections. they try to scam you into thinking its the city of dallas and they have a warrant out for your arrest for hot checks. it is not the city of dallas. if it was they just come to your house or send you a summons in the mail, they dont call you on the phone. the dallas county constables office is in oak cliff not in downtown dallas. if you had a payday loan somewhere and didnt pay it then this is what it is, they are just trying to scare you into paying them.

They are threatening me that I could go to jail for my unpaid pay day loan.  My sister said the DA's office will not mess with these.

yup it's about a payday loan they try to convince me I was going to be served 4 months ago but they still call with the auto dialer ...so I flagged it for do not answer

I have been receiving phone calls from this # as well and I do believe that it is a payday loan althouigh they lie about your checking account and that is false!!!!

I got one 2! I think its a collection service for unpaid payday loans..

Same msg...saying that it was concerning my checking account.  I called my bank and they said that the call wasnt from them.

I got a call from this number 214 666 3833 leaving a voicemail that regatrding my checking account and I needed to have my legal representative get in contact with them
