This person has been calling me about a payday loan that I never got. I asked him if there was someone else I could speak to because I could barely understand him and he said no. I threathen him about contacting my lawyer and he hunk up. The scary part its that he had my address info as well as the last 4 digits of my social security.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
?is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
?refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
?asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
?exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
?Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.?Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
?Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
?Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate ? but you think the collector may not be ? contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
?Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

This company has called me several times threatening me. They say I owe money and the sheriff will be coming to my door. I asked them to send me a bill. These people can hardly speak English but they know how to make threats. I called the phone company and my local police dept.

this number has been calling me on my cell, house and work line. they are very very rude and very disrespectful. they are working on trying to receive money from me but will not work w/me on this.

Totally bogus. Check your credit report and you will find that there is no account on which they are supposedly trying to collect. What's scary is that they've stolen some personal information to try to convince folks that they're 'for real'. Obviously a scam to steal bank account or credit card information. Filed a complaint with both the FTC and FCC ... hope these guys will get shut down soon. Jack-wagons!

roxy..be very careful there are a lot of scams going on with these pdls..do not pay anybody until you check it out also NEVER NEVER GIVE THEM ANY BANKING INFO THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY...even if you do own the debt USE MONEY ORDERS TO PAY THEM..if you use your c/c they will max it out in one day if you sent them a check your banks name account and routing number is on it and they will debit your account while you sleep..also there is 12 states where the pdl is illegal that means THEY DID NOT HAVE A LICENSE TO LOAN YOU MONEY and they wont take you to court because the judge will fine them thousands of dollars for loaning money without a license...if you happen to live in one of the illegal states my suggestion si to pay back what you borrowed DO NOT PAY ANY INTEREST OR PROCESSING FEES AND SUBTRACT ANY PAYMENTS YOU MADE..you borrowed 500.00 pay back 500.00 these IDIOTS does not make a profit.
always pay back what you can afford not what they tell you to pay.
FAMILY FIRST,DEBT COLLECTORS LAST

Have any of you actually paid them? I got a call yesterday and I don't know what to do.
| BOB 2012-09-13 22:31:00 Unknown |
This guy calls and says he is an Officer and that I owe money. I told him to stop calling and send me the paperwork showing what I owe and to who. He had an accent and kept calling back when I hung up. This happens every few months and gets very irate when I keep asking questions. This is a different number than the last time.
