I received the same letter that ijk from Oct. 2011 received.  They have also sent me checke to transfer my cc acct. to them.  They claim I have a Visa with them, but I don't.  I checked my credit report & it looks like they bought out a credit card company that I had a MC with that I closed the acct. many years ago.  The company was 5 Star Credit Card.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN GETTING THESE CALLS FOR A FEW MONTHS AT WORK THEY WILL GIVE ME NO INFORMATION EXCEPT I TOOK A PAYDAY LOAN OUT OVER THE INTERNET. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A BANK ACCOUNT SINCE 2000.THEY SAY THE LOAN WAS IN 2010.RECIEVED LETTER FROM A MRS.PARKER. WHICH I TOOK THE LETTER O OUR POLICE STATION AND TH ARE LOOKING INTO IT.WHAT A BUNCH OF SCAM ARTIST.

Told me to take the settlement offer or it would cost me $3000 if they went to court to garnish my wages.

Wow - received a letter from Card Services, POB 2988, Omaha, NE 68103-2988.  

*  many, many calls from "Card Services" in the past.  I block their number each and every time.   They refuse to disclose information to me about the reason of the call.  At most I can get it's about my VISA or Mastercard.

* a letter came with the above heading and address.  It references my unused cc that will soon expire.  I am instructed to call immediately 800-821-5184 so they will renew my cc or I can just my card asap...  still can't figure out what cc they are talking about...

* "as a Visa credit cardholder, you receive excellent benefits such as:"  it goes on to list things...and again encourages me to call.

Really?   All of the cc proudly include their known name, from the issuing authority (bank, store, etc).  

Feels scammy to me.

I don?t know where you got your information from, but that E.W.A. address & info is incorrect.  That address belongs to Sallie Mae Credit Card Billing & the correct link for that address is as follows:

I don?t know where to find information on the fake company E.W.A., but if anyone does, PLEASE POST! An email address, website or mailing address would be lovely!

I almost got fooled by this scam.  It was a good thing I was telling my friend about this and she asked me if they sent me anything in writing which they didn't.  They had my address and even the name of my bank like it was really legit.  She suggested to me for me to call Money Tree since they are the root of where they said I took out the loan.  I spoke to a very nice lady and she told me I had NO outstanding loan even going back to 2009.  I told her all that was told to me and she told me that it sounded like a SCAM and that there were allot of scams like that.  I then called my bank and cancelled my debit card so they couldn't draw from my account.  I am so greatful to my friend that she told me about this.  I should have questioned when I saw that the confirmation email was from a yahoo account and not from an EWA Recovery email.  You can't even Google EWA Recovery.....I should have checked that from the get go.  I almost got fooled but now they are the fool!

These people and long with thick indian accents call me all day long threating me with a wage garnishment or jail time. ITS A SCAM. My attorney general stated that  compaany cant garnish my wages. ITS ILLEGAL in the state of PA. SO they can kiss my butt.

I received a call also.  The vm said that they have verified my employment and will start garnishing my wages unless I call this number and talk to a Mr. Woodward to set up a payment schedule.  What a joke.

Received call from Mr. Ford from 877-659-9628.  My mother made payment and when she realized what she had done she tried to cancel the payment but was unable to do so.  She called back and was told that Ms. Garrison would have to speak to the supervisor regarding this matter.  She has called all day and Ms. Garrison would not take the call and they said that she was not in the office but was meeting with her supervisor.  My Mother called at 12:30 and she was gone the rest of the day.  She called every hour after this and she was still meeting with her supervisor.  I do not thing so.  Do not pay anymoney to this company.  It is a scam.   If you owe anyone money,ask for fax confirmation of the details of the transaction.  They would be able to fax the information over showing the company you owe when the funds were deposited into your account and how much the deposit was suppose to be for.  Be very careful!!!  There are several people/companies trying to scam money.  If you have ever filled out an online application for a cash advance they have alot of your information.  Do not use any cash advance on line it will cause you more trouble than it is worth.!!

I recieved a similar call from a Mrs. Parker. She said it was a payday loan. I have never in my life had a payday loan. She could not furnish me with a name of the company, how much, an account number or anything. She call at my work place. A number I never give out. I always use my cell for personal business. When I called her back the next day, per my lawyers request, they couldn't find anything on me. Funny. My lawyer is following up on it.

Louky....good for you for not falling for there scam...the only reason why i'm posting on here is i believe the law says when a law firm garnish your salary the max is 25%,,please don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure I'm right

I have received a call from this number and whan I asked what company I supposidly received a loan from she initally said the name of my bank. Then when I said they do not do loans she said no that was my bank she wanted money from. I aske who I received a loan from and she said she could not give me that infiormation but they will be garnishing my wadges by 20% if I do not start paying immidately. I told her I do not pay money to scam people. She said she would garnish my wadges and then hung up on me. A week later I received another call with pretty much the same information.

I received calls from this compnay so I decided to contact Payday One and learned information. EWA is a scam and the ppl are very unprofessional especially when you call them back w/facts. PLEASE BE AWARE because they will even send you emails as if its a real company.

Received a message from a Ms. "McGarry" to call back 877-659-9628. The previous time it was a "Mr. Ford" who claimed he had a wage garnishment order against me for "55% percent" of my wages and that it would be executed on my next paycheck unless I call back right away. That was bogus... I have no wage garnishment. My employer won't honor anything but a court order issued by a judge in my county of residence. SO THEY CAN POUND SALT UNTIL THE END OF TIME. Why can't these crooks be arrested for attempted extortion????

Today the caller was "Ms. McGarry" with call back number 877-659-9628. What a crock!!  They can pound salt until the end of the time with their attempts at extortion. They will never get a red cent from me. I won't fall for their scams.

If the caller is calling about a debt owed they need to tell you from whom and just to let you know -  harrassment is against the law.

"445.252 Prohibited acts

Sec. 2. n) Using a harassing, oppressive, or abusive method to collect a debt, including causing a telephone to ring or engaging a person in telephone conversation repeatedly, continuously". . .

What must the debt collector tell you about the debt?

Within five days after you are first contacted, the collector must send you a written notice telling you the amount of money you owe; the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money; and what action to take if you believe you do not owe the money.

Send dispute letter to:

Received a voice message today from "Mr. Ford" with call back number 877-659-9628 saying he had received "wage garnishment order for 55%" of my wages and that if I wanted to stop it, I should call back. WHAT A SCAM !!!!!!!  I won't fall for it. Nothing but a scare tactic to extort money from ignorant people.

YOU MUST BE ONE OF THEM..SCAM... WHY ELSE WOULD YOU STAND UP FOR THEM

This is the same cal i rec;d today when I called her back she game me a claim number but I told her I had no pay day loans an to give me the number to the company so I can called, she told me she would have to pu my file, and I haven't heard back from her. WTF.  This people are getting out of hand, what can we do as US citizen to stop this harassment

yes it does bother you when they call you a low-life,,that's why you posted on here i do believe your an IDIOT

kimber...IDIOT they are illegal in about 20 states only and they still loan out monies in the illegal states,the reason why they haven't been closed down is because they will not take you to court where its illegal because they know the judge will dismiss the debtors case and find them over ten thousand dollars and report them to the proper authorities also they don't log onto the credit reports so they basically there in a good position of not being caught.
we all know the indian are scammers they obtain the info when people paid off the loan or filled out an application then decide not to take the loan and then the sleazy pdl sold the info to india and these fools try to scam monies out of us they are very jealous of our life style they don't have running water in there shed where they live.
IDIOT i don't know if your indian or not but if you want to give them your banking info then go ahead and the indian people can laugh at you because your stupid to fall for there scam...IDIOT..

yes i received a call from a miss Gillmore she said she was going to garnish my wages she even called my job she said it was from cash advance i never received any money from them

WHY DONT U PEOPLE TRY CALLING 936-333-6630 OR 347-875-9600 THEY ARE THE INDIAN PEOPLE SCAMMING INNOCENT PEOPLE AND AS FAR AS ME BEING A LOW LIFE HAHA WHATEVER YOUR COMMENTS DO NOT HURT ME AND IF PAYDAY LOANS ARE ILLEGAL WHY ARE THESE BUSINESSS STILL OPEN.

Same type of call, going to revoke my state drivers license but would not tell me who I was supposed to owe or how much???? What type of collection agency doesn't know how much I am supposed to pay.

Received a message from someone named Mr. Ford.  Stated that he was informing me that my drivers license was being suspended because I owe some payday place money.  I don't owe any pay day place any money.  When he was questioned he stated that he could not tell me where the loan originated and he couldn't tell me any other information.  He stated that he works for a big company that collects on loans and so he doesn't know who or what I owe.  Very strange.  Who are these people and where do they get personal information like phone calls and addresses.  Is there nothing that can be done about these people? Please help find out who these people are and how they can be stopped from calling.

It's a scam!  Mr. Ford left me a message indicating that they were going to garnish my wages 25%.  As soon as I heard the message I figured it was a scam.  I returned the call to see how much information I could get out of them.  When I returned the call, I had the pleasure of speaking with Miss Santini.  I asked her what the name of her company is and she said EWA.  I asked her what EWA stood for and she responded that it's the initials of the company's owner and the associates.  Then I asked her who she was collecting the debt for and she said Pay Day One.  I asked her to send me written information and she said that they couldn't do that.  I have to admit that I got a little kick out of telling her that I work for a law firm and that if they continue to call me I will pursue legal action. She hung up immediately.

KIMBER, IF THEY ARE A REAL COMPANY WHAT IS THE FULL NAME OF THE COMPANY, THEY WERE NOT CLEAR WHEN I ASK FOR THE NAME THEM..

kimber...whats the matter sleazy debt collector your not making any monies so you post this stupid message you just wrote...know what sleazy debt collector lets make your collections harder lets post some info on here so the debtors would know how to SCREW YOU LEGALLY.
PEOPLE...when this sleaze ball calls you and lies that there going to garnish your salary,,you demand validation and i mean FULL VALIDATION..
WHEN YOU OPENED AND CLOSED THE ACCOUNT
ALL CHARGES AND PAYMENTS MADE..
HOW THE INTEREST WAS ACCRUED BECAUSE THESE A***OLES ALWAYS MAKE A MISTAKE IN THERE FAVOR
WANT TO SEE THE CONTRACT WITH YOUR SIGNATURE ON IT..
of course this IDIOT will say he doesn't have to do that..then you say to the IDIOT read fdic rules 12CFR 227.23 AND 227.25..now remember if these low life's CANT VALIDATE THEN THE DEBT IS INVALID THE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE 100%.THESE LOW LIFES CANNOT VALIDATE IN FULL..
make sure there licensed to collect in your state if they say they are ask them for there license number they have to give it to you.
check to see if the debt is SOL. if it is they cannot sue or log onto your credit report.
PAYDAY LOANS...there illegal in about 15-20 states and that means you don't have to pay them back,,they will never take you to court because all you have to say to the judge..THIS IS AN ILLEGAL PAYDAY LOAN IN MY STATE..the judge will dismiss your case and fine the pdl thousands and thousands of dollars..JUST GO TO ASK.COM AND TYPE IN WHAT STATES ARE ILLEGAL FOR A PDL..and if you happened to live in one of these states you just saved yourself a lot of monies..THE LAW IS ON YOUR SIDE 100%.
now the people can screw you legally,i bet when you go home collection companies are calling you for payment we all know you get paid 7.00 an hour and 15%of what you collect and collections is way down...now you have to work 12 hours a day to make 100.00 you low life sleazy IDIOT.

KIMBER, you must be part of the scam. they said i owed money to PAYDAY 1 and i called Payday 1 and they said i owe nothing. so i called this number back, the lady put her supervisor on the phone and i told him what payday 1 said and he said ok no problem if that is what they told you. he said i would not hear from them again. COME ON get real!! you are the ones stealing money-NOT US!! So go away and get a real job!!
