Yes they can get u in trouble, people don't just call if you don't owe them money. if you really paid they wont bother u .

I have received about ten phone calls or so from this company. Each time, they say that they are looking for my EX husband. Can he even put me down as a reference after our divorce? Additionally, each time I speak with them, they tell me they have taken me off their call list, which has proven itself to be a lie. Is there somewhere I can report these people to?

I got a voice mail from this number and the guy said it was of utmost importance that I call him back, that my son was using my personal contact information as his own and "given the seriousness of the matter," I should call back right away.  My son is in the Marines so I called him and played the message for him and he had NO IDEA who these people were or what the "matter" was even about.  So together over the phone we googled the number and found this page.  Deleting and ignoring the voice mail!  Thanks so much to everyone here who gave their input, it was really helpful!!

Yea, these guys have no courtesy what so ever... I have dealt with them first hand and it's never been a pleasant, "Good morning/afternoon/evening Sir/Ma'am, I am so-n-so with Pioneer. Do you have a moment of time to speak with me today? If not when would be a convenient time for me to call back or can I leave a number for you to return a call at your convenience?".

Nope, always, "Hi, you got my money? When you gonna give us our money? We're going to get your friend/family member in trouble. Bye."

No introduction, no etiquette, none of my time for you!

Just to be clear, technically under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, your service member is obligated to pay any form of loan back otherwise it's considered dishonorable and they can actually be punished or at the very least, made to repay the borrowed sum. HOWEVER, this gives then NO right to be rude, vulgar, or disrespectful towards them or their friends and family.

Actually they can contact your sons superiors. When you recieve a loan from this company they  information reguarding your unit name of your 1st sgt, comander and platoon sgt. The superiors will council the sokdier and hace them set up an allotment to settle the debt.

Just got my first call today.  Saw it was an 800 number and let it go to voice mail.  Couldn't understand who this lady is looking for but identified herself as Carolyn and she obviously has the wrong number. Boy was she rude in the message.  Sounds like she will be calling back by 10 am tomorrow....the deadline for hearing back for Lance Corporal so and so

I recieved numerous calls from this loan company.  They are Pioneer Military Loans, a low level banking company that advertises and offers loans to military personnel.

They are NOT PART OF THE MILITARY service!!  They ARE MidCentury Bank, a regular bank.

My last caller was Mr. Murphy, a very stern sounding man who promised me if he didn't hear from my son that he "would be contacting his military superiors, and there was going to be problems".  

They are a bank, not my sons military ANYTHING.  Don't let them lie to you and promise to try to ruin your family or your military career, they have no way to do anything except post a bad rating to your credit report if they don't collect.

I'm offended that they would even imply that they could contact my sons superiors,  The military could care less about some bank trying to collect on a loan, lol.

Its just a regular bank, trying to collect like a regular collection agency.  Nothing more

there was a woman on the phone asking, for Justin Kendrick. I have no idea who that is.

On January 21 2013 1347 local Florida time an Unknown male caller, called my cellphone and told me are you john smith, he didn?t even let me ask any questions, he kept asking me for my name none stop very impatience and very direct. When I asked him who he works for or why was he calling me and why he wanted to know my name, he refuse to answer me, I never told him what my real name was, I never even told him my name period. When I asked him what type of company he was calling me from, he just told me I got this number from your army unit and he quickly hang up the phone on me without telling me his name or what type of job it was. Also yes I was active duty and is funny that now that I got out the Army he or they are calling me. Funny business so don?t say or agree when they call you by your name over the phone because without you realizing it you are agreeing to them by identifying yourself therefore your legally bond to any crap this company is doing. Collector company yes, and yes I don?t owe any money stop harassing me lol

I received a call from this number and a "Mr. Johnson" at 6:22 AM.  When I called back and was connected with him, I asked why he called me at an hour not allowed under the fair debt collection act.  All he said was, "So are you going to take care of this matter?"  I still didn't even know what company he was with.  I asked who he was calling for and he just said "Pioneer".  This could be innumerable people.  I told him to send all information to my home of record and advised if he ever called me again before 8:00 AM, I would report him to the FTC.  Then hung up.

The guy wasn't rude but left me a message that he "would have to get other parties involved".  This sounds like MOB tactics.  I told him to get anyone involved he wanted.  He has not called back.

I think my son is trying to get a loan from these people. The lady who called just now (third person from this number) didn't say what company she's calling for or her name or anything, but she knew my name & said that said my son <name> listed me as his contact. I googled the number and found this site. My son did say a while ago that he was applying for a loan from somewhere but nothing ever came of it and he recently deployed. I'm PRAYING he didn't get a loan with these idiots after reading the comments here. These people can ruin someone's military career.

Have a newly activated cell phone, and receive daily calls for "Prince" from some woman at this number.  Have told her repeatedly ther is no Prince that I know of.  Googled the number, and it seems to be some sort of military loan collection company.  They really need to take a hint!

My Husband receive a called yesterday some rude lady looking for my daughter stating my daughter stole her boyfriend, our family just recently loose a family member so we are having a very difficult time and this person was very rude, obscene and demanding over the phone, I contacted the manager this morning and apparently they are trying to collect a debt on my daughter I told him this is a violation to customer rights and that I am planning to take action since my husband has a heart condition that can take this type of offensive calls, he said he will investigate I even gave him my direct line to call me back since he will listen to the phone record of his employee...still waiting on a reply.

I am a mother of a son serving in Aphganistan....I keep receiving a call from this number. The man is very rude, arragont. he doesnt know the law....By law he can not harrass these boys while they are serving our country and he can not harrass their families. Nothing can be held against these boys...When they come back they will settle with whatever they need to. I have offered to work with him but he will not give me any info on what he is wanting are why......I can and will have my number changed.....

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these people? They called asking for my son who is in the Army and has not lived at home for years. They say he put me down as a reference. Ok, 1st if he did use me as a reference, it was without my knowledge or consent. 2nd, I was not ever called, or asked if I would be responsible for getting messages to my son for this 3rd party so, therefore, why are they harassing me now? Third these people are rude and do not identify themselves on the phone. How do I know who they really are? Finally, if my son does owe a debt (and I doubt that he does, because he cares about his credit score) it would be his debt, not mine, so why do they keep bothering me?
I actually had a woman on the phone that would not leave her phone number or name. I did get the phone number from caller ID it is 1-800-538-4233, but the name says "unavailable".
When I did not give her my son?s phone number, she said, ?Ok, so then you are not willing to be responsible for your son?? (in a very sarcastic voice). If this is about a loan, they should have asked that question before they made a loan not after the fact. My son is not a child and I am not responsible for his finances.
Help!!!! is their anyway to make them stop before I go crazy?

Just received a call from this number with extension 2262 supposedly belonging to a Miles. He claimed to be MidCountry Banking.  They were looking for my son who is in the military.   They keep calling and identitfying themselves as different entities.  I just want them to stop calling and leave me alone!!! It's not my responsibility for my son's actions (especially his financial) but it does get old.

These people did not understand after 10 calls that our number did not belong to a "Ruben NNN". The only way to stop them was to tell them I would file a police report if they evr called again because the phone belonged to my MINOR daughter.

I received a voicemail from this number. they left no name or company name, cursing at me, and when i called back, got an answering machine which had no company name in the pre-recorded message. my lawyer will be hearing of this and i will end this.

THEY ARE CALLING MY PARENTS TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF MY HUSBAND.
after seeing this i see that it is pioneer loans.
THEY GOT THEIR MONEY IN FULL OVER A YEAR AGO!!!!!!!! yeah, im not happy!!!!
they are harassing my family and they will be turned in to BBB.

Hey these people have pissed me off I have found their home addresses, some people need to understand when you harass a person to the breaking point be ready for what they are going to do to you as a person. Attack me I will destroy you. They are PML and they are having a lot of problems getting their money back so what that does not give the right to call and harass families. It's time to put them out of business!!!!!

this murphy guy is a tipical bill collector A...H....
careful with him
he tries to get info from those he talks to on the phone
don't tell him a thing and hang up
after calling him a few names of course...you have to enjoy yourself

Received a call from a Mr. Murphy with Pioneer Military Loans, was trying to contact my wife's daughters husband who is in the Navy. They have repeatedly been informed that he and his family are stationed in Japan. After advisng Mr. Murphy of this I asked him to provide me with his number which I would forward to my daughter. I asked him to stop calling but he indedicated that he would not. The man is rudy, arrogant, and obnoxious.

I received a call from a guy on the other line by the name of Dave Hamilton and basically told me that I needed to pay on a loan from PML. I don't know who he is nor do I know what the hell he was talking about. And yes he was loud and rude in the process. Something needs to be done about this........AND QUICK!!!

I received a call from these folks today claiming all the above but with a different ext. 2293 - Why would the military be calling me?

I keep getting calls from this number. They say they're looking for my fiance, have his name, and it's about a 'smart buy' thing? I have no idea why they keep calling me. Seriously annoying and I'm tired of it.

I have received several calls from this number for over a year.  They are trying to reach my son.  He has been overseas but has been home for most of the year.  Although he has not been living here since enlisting 8 yrs ago they keep calling looking for him stating that it is regarding a military allotment.  A Mr. Louis Webb is the name given with an extension of 2286.  Caller ID said the company was ASG.  Have no idea nor does my son.  Wish they would quit calling.

I have received several of these calls on my cell phone.  They are trying to collect from a person that I don't know.  I've told them several times that they are calling the wrong number but they continue to call anyway.  They treat me as if I am lying about knowing this person.  The gentleman calling me leaves an extension number of 2262.

You should check into the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.  I believe talking to anyone who is not you - including your neighbors or family members - is against the law and I have heard it say this is a "criminal" offense that these people can actually go to jail for.
