You can't be arrested for failing to pay a debt.  That the debt collection company is even threatening it is a violation of the FDCPA.

Recieved a call from this number myself last week, thought it kind of funny I was handling the very same account with another creditor. Miss. Hayes, Invest Cain...all the same names...warrent for my arrest, at the magistrates office bla bla bla. Then they sent some very unofficial looking letters to my email wanting me to sign and return with my personal info. I tried to call the number back and it said disconected... I googled the number and wow. Bottom line scams...get a job and stop stealing from folks whom obviously have a hard enough time trying to make everyday ends meet.

I just got a call from this investigator king about a payday loan that is from 2007. I don't know anything about the payday loan and have no records of it. He went on about the warrants as well but , surprise both the payday loan company said they do not do this. They do not take people to a criminal court over a civil suit. I am pissed because this guy told me that he would not take a dime from me after i called back and asked about the court not knowing. He said he was putting the paperwork in today instead of waiting because of my attitude. After calling the head offices to the payday loan company and having them tell me they do not take these loans criminal and talking to the magistrate court as well as the criminal courts i have found its a complete scam to collect. Now its my turn to play. i have spoken with the attorney generals office, the government office of consumer protection , and the federal trade commission. They also said that they have violated the fdcpa and this matter would be investigated by them. I was smart enough to record my conversations with Mr King and have a record of every word he said to me.If this clown calls you call the federal trade commission at 877-651-8600 and when it ask you to put in your selection press 0 three times to be sent to a representative. they will take your complaint and give you ref # to call back if they make any further contact with you. Do not let these people bully you into paying them. There is also a press release from the fbi about how there is a scam going on now with this practice. Do the research and know what is going on. Also know the statute of limitations on the charge they are claiming to file against you. i believe on passing a check on a closed acct is 7 years. You will need to confirm this with your local D.A. office or by calling a lawyer in your area. I will update you on what i hear back from the FTC as soon as they conclude their investigation. I am told this will only take a few days. Before someone jumps in and says pay your debt, i do and do not know anything about this debt. It is thru a company that i took payday loans out years ago but did not have any that had checks written on closed accounts. That is a felony. I do not even know of any that were unpaid and the payday loan company does not have any accts in default for me either. I pay my dam bills.

Stupid people called my parents home leaving a message for me regarding some dude I've never heard of - said her name was Rachel Hanes - what an idiot she is...  please call back and reference account number 99021 ... yeah yeah... bite me lady

I just got a call with this number for my husband saying they found it through a background check.  The number originally came up from Maryland.  I am very skeptical since it was my number they had but were asking for my husband and would not give me any info.  I feel that this is a scam and warn not to take the time to return the call

"Sleazy bag" is where Nookie keeps his porn stash.

Oops--I'm!

I,m going to say Nookie is an expert on those subjects!!

You certainly know about thefts and being immoral, Nookie!

Go find another job, Nookie.

I'll bet his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries!

To all the shills out there:  Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time..... :-)

"You so-called Arthur King... you and your silly English Kahnnnnigits...."

I like "sleazy bag"! I've always heard "Sleazebag"! It's Ture!!!!

"HOW CAN IT BE LIESWHEN ITS TURE" -- now there's a circular argument, once you get past the terrible spelling and the all caps shouting!

First of all, most of the posters on this site do not actually owe the debt they are being called about.

Secondly, debt collectors are obliged to obey the law, namely the FDCPA.

Your posts are getting more and more incomprehensible... what in the world does this mean: "STOP FINDIND CRAZY WAS OUT"?????

Poor spelling again! Caps lock key is on boths sides of the keyboard, ok! Try using it!

Then why do they call people who owe nothing and pay their bills on time?

Take your caps lock off and use punctuation!!

MY COMPANY HAS BEEN HERE FOR OVER 15YEARS AND STILL UP .....SCAM PPL .. WOULDNT GOT US THIS FAR .I REALLY HATE WORKING PAYDAY LOANS CAUSE U PPL CRAZY. AND IF YOU GO TO BESTBUY GIVE A CHECK AND HAVE THEIR MERCHANDISE YOU DONT THINK THEY CAN FILE CHARGERS.. IF IT CAN BE PROVEN RECOMMENDATIONS CAN GO UP FOR FRAUD OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT DO MORE RESEARCH!!!

OMG JULIE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND .. I DO THIS EVERY DAY AND IM NOT PLAYING WITH PPL LIKE YOU EITHER YOU WANT TO HANDLE OR NOT SIMPLE AND PLAN .. THEREFORE GET A LIFE DEBTER!!!

OK THANKS JULIE.. LOL... U PPL DONT HAVE ANY MORALS HOPE YOUR NOT RAISING KIDSS... IT WOULD TRULY BE A SHAME # THEFTS

Go back to school and learn how to spell!!

People already did their research and found out that nobody goes to jail for a debt. If they have a debt, they shouldn't pay money to some Indian accented idiot that calls them out of the blue from a rotten boiler room in Mumbai, India.
