had the same problem; found a old confirmation letter that it was paid off. how did you make out with your, were you able to recoup any money back from them

If I get one more threatening voicemail from them.  They will be reported to the NYS attorney general's office.  Payday Loans are illegal in NY both getting them and "collecting" on them.   Unfortunetly these scammers do not seem to go away.

This needs to stop!!!!

Yes, the website did look pretty fake to me too.  They probably hope you beleive they are legitmate because they have a website but only a phone and email contact.  Red flag

Yes, these calls are getting really old.  I only hope that there are not too many people who fall for their shananagans.  Never ever pay anyone based on a telephone call.  If it is a legitmate debt they have to send the information in mail with a notification of 30 days to dispute ther debt.  This should include their business license to collection debts in your state.

They left me a threatening message on home number the other day.  I guess they figured they would give it a try!!  

Ha ha not falling for it.

Report them to the FTC: http://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-protection/submit-consumer-complaint-ftc

Oh my god, this just happened to me. My daughter was sure she had paid off a payday loan. They called me with all of her correct information and threatened to put a lien on her car. Because I am a senior citizen they gave me a "break" if I would settle right then by providing them with a Visa credt card. I just cancelled my card but have no hopes of recovering my money.

Thanks for the information posted here, unfortunately, I found it too late but maybe it will save someone else from the same fate.

Sounds like a total scam to me.

if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

this man had ll my info, what do i do? he was trying to get my address to subpoena me. but never told me what for!

My dad has been receiving calls from a guy or guys going by the name of David Web and Eric Nelson claiming I have an outstanding check of $300 something and that if I don't comply and pay it they will find a way to get in front of a judge. One they never contacted me personally with a phone call or anything in writing and I looked up the numbers that they gave my dad to call them back and both came back to the Delaware Assets Management. The one guys (David Web) was really rude and demanding and called from 855-641-3220 and claiming to be a court official, the other guy (Eric Nelson) called from 866-473-0226. I have called the county court house they are claiming its through and they have no record of me in their system. Pretty sure this is the same thing everyone else on here is complaining about. Please beware!

Ignore 'em.  Total scam.

Called me claiming they had a 1099 for me but wanted my personal information...  unbelievable jerks.. if u have something for me then u should send it to me not call me..

Your welcome! :)  You should contact the number on the actual loan company you had. Some extortion scammers will actually use & abuse legit company's names and numbers to try and extort money from you!  This is not to say that actually legitimates don't break FDCPA laws either, cause sadly some do.  If it is the actual company, then follow the steps in what you need to know here:

Thank you for this information! My call generated from Delaware Solutions and they claimed I still owed on a payday loan. It's true I had a payday loan at one time, but it was paid in full over a year ago. Delaware Solutions will use language like "serious allegations," and threaten to forward documents to "your county." After I told them this debt was paid in full, they demanded I send a "paid letter" to prove I paid off the loan. I don't think I owe them that documentation, so I submitted a complaint to http://consumerfinance.gov/complaint. I'll share the follow up when I hear something.

Small-time thugs with a fraudulent website.  Not even a street address to send a C&D letter or verification request (which is illegal, but since they're already criminals....).

Filed a complaint with the CAFB and my state AG today.  On my way to file a complaint with Go Daddy for hosting a fraudulent website.  No, it won't shut them down, but at least I can be a little pain in their a**.  Hey, just returning the favor!

Arrogant jerks... said there was going to be a lawsuit filed if I didn't repond and put a statement "on file".  Told them I'd never taken out a payday loan, didn't owe anyone anything. They asked me if the last four of my SS# was XXXX - told them no & they ended the call.

Keep calling  with threating messages stating that if I do not call they back they cannot be responsible for the allegations that proceed.
I have no idea what they are talking about!

The "Delaware Solutions" website is a fake.  A WHOIS search shows it was registered with GoDaddy on 1/2/14.  The website is a Wordpress template that looks like it could have been designed by a 3rd-grader.  Stock photos and repetitive paragraphs.  A legitimate collection agency would hire an IT firm to do a much better job than this.  Wouldn't surprise me if they're stealing copyrighted images.  These people have no ethics.

Two ways they could have your contact info:

1)  If you've EVER taken out an online payday loan, even if you've paid it back in full.  Once you have given them your contact info, they'll sell it to crooks who will sell it to more crooks, and so on.  The people who have your info now don't know if you have a loan, if you've ever had a loan, or if your loan is repaid.  They're counting on convincing you that you owe someone money somewhere.  That's why they won't send you any proof of the debt....because they don't have it.  They'll just keep harassing you until (they hope) you'll give in.

2)  Someone has stolen your identity and sold it to them.  Sadly, if you've ever used and ATM or made a purchase from a fishy (or phishy) website, you run the risk.  If they have your bank info, they can run money in and out of your account for money-laundering purposes, which might attract the attention of the REAL authorities (not the fake ones they threaten you with).  If you think your bank account info has been compromised, even by no fault of your own, close your accounts immediately and NEVER give them ANY account information.  In most cases, it's not your money they're hunting for, but access to your accounts to precipitate their other "shady" activities.

Bottom line....they're criminals, and are likely operating outside the U.S., where they think the Feds can't get to 'em.  Report them to the appropriate state and federal authorities.  Also, it might not be a bad idea to report "Delaware Solutions" to GoDaddy for violations of their TOS.  GoDaddy is a pretty big web-hosting provider that advertises nationally, and I'm sure they wouldn't want their good name associated with this kind of fraudulent activity.  At the very least, we might get their fake website shut down and send them scrambling for another hosting provider.

Unless it was a IRS tax scam call, then it should be reported to the FTC & CFB, and your states attorney general.

Yes I was contacted yesterday, on my cell.  I didn't respond a message was left of my voice mail re:  1099c.  I ignored for whatever reason I am targeted alot with this type of callers.  However, today I received a call at work, it was an automated call asking for me.  I hung up and decide to google 855-641-3220 and ended up on this page.  People be aware!!!  This is a fruadulent call and everyone that get a call from them should report them to the www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-Scams-Consumer Alerts
If the IRS gets enough of us reporting this number hopefully it will send up enough red flags for them to be prosecuted.

http://delawaresolutions.net/

They have a contact page.   If you'be been mistreated by them or they have threatened you with criminal prosecution for a civil debt or they refuse to send you a written statement of a debt they're collecting by US mail, I'd let 'em know that you are making a complaint to the FTC.

1099c is a forgiveness of debt form filed by the creditor.  Has no effect on your right to claim a refund.  If you were being sued by a bank you'd have received some warning from the bank.  Writing bad checks is in fact a crime and if it occurred you would be visited by a police detective.  Debt collectors DO NOT  have police powers and cannot get warrants issued for arrests, only public prosecutors and police can do that.  Threatening  people with civil  debt with criminal prosecution is a crime in itself.   The debt collector can be held liable.

Next time they call with their phony threats, tell 'em to put their claim in writing and mail it to you by US mail, otherwise tell 'em to go to hell.

That's what I'd do.  See:     https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Thank you Slim and I did read the artical above mine. I will be contacting mu lawyer on Monday in regards to this matter.

Don't bother calling that number!
Instead, read the good information from Tamianth ... several posts up from yours.

If you do not have the time to read that good info,
USA tax payers should read this:
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Tax-Scams-Consumer-Alerts
Note particularly the links at that site, warning of the scam!

A shorter explanation is Scam  #11, as shown at
http://phonehelp.2truth.com/facts.html

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive.  (And, a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps is there).

My ex husband of 29 years and lives in a differnt state received a message on his answerting machine from this company and the message stated that they had a 1099c and that I have a case number. So I called the company and of course it is Saturday and I received a recorded message. I will however be calling them on Monday to get this stuff staright.

These people called me and still call me with the exact same info as you guys stated!!! They are very aggressive and very well trained until you call their bluff!! Ive done a tremendous amount of reasearch and Delaware Solutions was started in 2014 and has operated under several different names Before now!! They have called me from a 8559353703 and 8559353704 number as well!! I have spoken with a Miss Davis and a Bryan Scott and have left voice messages with a Frank Mullens...

They told me they were filing a 1099c form to the IRS that would effect my refund..when I told them I had no idea what they were talking about the guy got aggressive and claimed to be from an attorneys office and I was being sued by a bank for writing bad checks..funny thing is I haven't had an account in years and never wrote checks. He claimed he was issuing a warrant for my arrest and if I didn't pay my kids would have to visit me in jail. He had a lot of my information that could easily be seen from a credit report. I called him some names and he said he was recording me and would then push the warrant and show the judge my nasty behavior. I actually thought it was real until my mom googled the number for me and seem it was a scam. My husband and I then kept calling THEM back so they could get a good taste of their own medicine. They kept hanging up and making threats..but when we claimed to be talking to police they tried to be nice. I even called back and asked if I could pay my debt with them and they were more than happy to take my info until I told them I was just kidding I was paying $hit. Don't fall for their games!

I got the same call except they called a neighbor and left the message,  with a neighbor ?  really ? DEFINITELY NOT APPROPRIATE OR LEGAL.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.
