hi tim, i have already written my story on here and see yours was written after mine.  I contacted the BBB and Attorney General and consumer affairs.  I talked with my AG and by the sounds of it I won't get my money back.  They sent my letter to the 3 credit places so they put an alert on my credit reports.  Affinity processing solutions say I still owe them, in fact they called me yesterday because I canceled the credit card I gave them before and they still want the rest, I just hung up on them.  I don't know what else I can do to get these people off my back.  The BBB said they sent a letter and and these people never responded so they will have a neg. report in their files.  whoppdy doooo.........I'm still out $850 they scamed me out of.  Hope someday these people will be shut down.  Thinking of contacting a lawyer tho.

Good job. It's time that those tugs get what is comming to them. Been on and off the phone with them all day. Funny fact is they call me Thomas and say they know I'm on welfare. Not my name and never been on welfare. In fact never used credit in my life and never taken a loan from anyone. Kept calling them and they started calling me from another number. So keep calling them back and they answer saying hello D. Bag. And hanging up. Became a phone war. Kept trying to tie up their lines. Then they would call saying they knew me. All their info was wrong. Probably caus I have identity lock. So kept calling. Once in ten calls they would pickup and say shut up d bag. So kept calling till they shut down their lines for now. Time they go down. Even called the police on them but they said common fraud and wouldn't even take the info I collected on them just said ignor the calls. Tome to step up and do something ourselves!!!!!!

I got a call yesterday saying I was accused of check fraud and had to pay $1944 or they would send the court here in NY the info and I could be arrested.  They had my name and my social. They said my son was the one who took out 3 payday loans and I was on those loans with him so even tho this was 9 years ago and he was over 21 I still was liable. The first lady hung up on me then I *69 them and got this company Affinity Processing Solutions phone number 18882805653. I talked to another lady who was nice and we settled for $1300, I was to pay with my credit card $850 (which I did) and 250 for the next 2 months. She said it was true , I was liable even if it were someone else who got the loan because my name and social was on it.  In a panic so I did what I thought I had to do. Then today I went online and googled this place and this forum came up with all your stories.  Now I feel stupid that I didn't call a lawyer first, so I am in contact to make a dispute on my credit card and filed a complaint with the BBB like you guys said to do, I also did the do not call me form. So I hope they don't call me! Just something in the back of my mind worries they still can have me arrested?????  

Did you go to court

I RECIEVED THE SAME PHONE CALLS. WHAT HAPPEN WHEN U DID NOT PAY

contact your local united states attorney general, im am currently in the works with my local united states attorney general , we will be hunting these f**** down and bringing them to justice

Did u end up in court over this?? Same company got me but let me make arrangements and I stopped the arrangements after One payment and then received another call from them stating she would reissue the summons with an officer. I don't think a person can be arrested over owing money....

I have been scammed by this company they called in September saying I owed $2000 for old payday loans.  I explained I'd never heard of the company and I'd filled bankruptcy they said it was felony check fraud and I could be arrested.  I'd just had surgery and was scared they said for a medical hardship they'd drop it to $600. I gave them my account number and asked them to mail a payment schedule never got it. I called two more times never got it find out today it's a scam.

I forgot to add. I did call back and ask to send the money and they give me this information.

Hello i got the same call but from Frank Jacobs telling me to call Litigation Services of Walter Dickson at 1-888-489-1525. They said i owe Total Lending $1500 back 2007. But if i pay today it will be $450. Thank God for the internet and did search so I didnt give them any money. I will be filling a report.  

Contact the BBB. When you go to their site, go to file a complaint. it will ask you to type in the company, type in affinity processing solutions. it will come up. write a detailed event of what happened. i filed one and they got back to me today and affinity said they had refunded me but my bank is still investigating. i responded back that i want proof they have refunded my bank. file a police report online and print it out, print the bbb complaint and get a copy of your credit report showing this company isn't on it and submit it all to your bank and file a fraud case for the money back. good luck. this has shook me up for weeks. washington dc posted an article on this scam. its so sad.

Hi guys, contact the BBB (Better Business Bureau). I filed a complaint and their upstate New York BBB contacted me. This on 9-4-13. Today I received a letter from Affinity through the BBB that they have refunded my money and that they are not responsible for the way the debt collectors act. I responded back to the BBB that I reject their account of the story b/c I have not yet received word from my bank about a refund and its still pending. I asked that they provide proof that they have refunded my bank about this. I also re-outlined the story about how he threatended me and scared me. Also, I contacted Equifax and received my credit report and they gave me a statement of fact that this is not a legit debt. This scam is going around the country. I have been a wreck all month b/c of this. Please file a police report in your local county. Find a dispute with your bank and print out all of these pages of complaints on the scam and your police report and submit it all so they can investigate. Please also go the Better Business website .If you type in Affinity, they show up and you can file the complaint accordingly. The more complaints, the better way to catch them.

I got hit up too and I paid them because they scared the crap out of me. Call your bank, file a complaint, and they will do an investigation. Also you can file complaints with the FTC. I've done both in hopes they'll shut them down.

Vanessa don"t feel bad f d malone and associates got me to on 8/30/13 for $1000. They told me the same things they told you they scared me that I paid them.  Found out today all a scam have been crying all day sick because if this, something needs to be done so unfair.

F.d. Malone and Associates. Scam! They called and told me the sheriffs were coming with a warrant for felony bank fraud for a loan I took out with my ex husband. He said the bail is $50k and I'd serve 5 years in prison. I have a disabled son and am a single parent. I gave him what he asked for $1400, processed through affinity processing solutions. I called the DA and they told me its a scam and I called the police and filed a report and filed a report with the federal trade commission. Total scam!! I never even owed this. Never took this loan. I was so terrified. There's article put out by Washington DC on this scam.

Julie has changed there number  888-429-6869

check out  www.ftc.gov search payday loan scam  same story different name

it is NOT real.  They will NOT serve papers.  It is a scam so ignore it.

I called BBB and you need to call FTC at 1-877-382-4357 and turn in a complaint.

CAN YOU GIVE ME THE NUMBERS TO CALL SO I CAN REPORT THEM.THANKS

These people are scammers, I too received a call from these idiots, last year they were calling me from the 888-705-7463 number, now they are calling me from (000)(000-0000), and Fraud Johnson is leaving me messages to call the plaintiff at 888-671-4688.  I've already reported them to the FTC, FBI and Attorney General's Office, and everyone else who receives a call from these scammers needs to do the same.  It sounds like they are using both the names of Kenneth Miller and Associates and Lockner, or Rockner, Gates and Associates.  They are criminals and if you call back all they are going to do is threaten you and harass you.  The more reports these agencies get on these individuals the faster they will be able to lower the boom on them.  Hey Red Johnson, when they find you, and believe me, they will,  I would love to be there to testify against you.

I recieved the same phone call only form a Red Johnson recording at 1-000-000-0000 stating that I had to call 1-888-671-4866 about a summons.I was threatned to be lock up at 4pm if I didn't pay for 2 loans for 1,720.00 and went on to say they would settle for 800.00 and to give them my credit card number she claimed to be a supervisor only she was rude and very nasty knew my old email address and my address.Hope to find out who these scammers are.They need to be prosected!!When I called that number back it saids if you know your party's ext please enter it now I pressed 0 and it said Thank you for calling Affinity processing solutions and then it goes to that Kenneth Miller & Associates.I'm going to spread the word about them to everyone b/c I have read where alot of people pay b/c they're scared.So hope this will help people not to be SCAMMED by these idots!!

My husband recieved a phone call today from my mother n law stating that he needed to call 1-888-671-4866 because they are stating that my husbands ex wife used his and my father n laws identity to get multiple cash loans in the amount of $2000.00 and then deposited the money into her personal checking account. When my husband called the phone number the phone was answered Kenneth Miller and associates and they referred to his ex wife by another name and was told they would settle at $1300.00. When he got off the phone and we were discussing things it didnt add up. He called again and then the phone was answered Lockner Gates and associates. When my husband questioned the different company names he was put on hold. When the woman returned to the phone she wasnt sure why that happened and my husband was then given the amount of $880.00 to settle. When he asked for documentation of these said loans he was told that he would have to send them $200.00 by money gram and then they would release the" lift and get papers to take his ex wife to court." But he would still have to pay the remaining balance owed. Anyone else experience this? Thoughts? Ideas? My husband was told that if he did not take care of this he will go to jail.

I just received a call from them as well. I live in Florida and the number they told me to call was different but it was the same Lockner,Gates and Associates. The whole thing had me very worried until I found this thread.

I received the same phone call and spoke with Julie James. They had my last 4 SSN and demanded initially demanded $2000, then they wanted to settle for $320. What should I do? They sounded legit but now that I am googling their firm name, I am seeing all these scam stories. I am worried. Please help.

I got a call at work from. Lachner, Gates and Associates, I had payday loans. She threatened me and scared me till I gave them my banking info. They told me I had to sign a paper they to authorize them taking a payment for 2 loans from companies, I never had heard of. Well I started looking up these people. Stating they were from Charolette, NC. I looked them up and can not find them. My husband called and requested info on the two companies. They told him when I authorized the payment they would send him the name of the loaners. Even offer to send copies of contract for 25 dollars a sheet. These were Julie James, and Ashley at Lachnerasssociates.com. Needless to say it will not carry you anywhere. We did get back in touch. They did not take money from my account. I wouldn't authorize for the transaction so I the were going through a Affinity processing company. I did fine the companies name in Ny. Not sure hope they never call again. It really mess me up. We just came out of Bankruptcy and really hard time. I hope someone will stop them I was told to turn them in to BBB.

Got an automated call from this number the last 2 days stating the needed to serves pappers or something.  Message wasn't clear and mentioned a Susan ODdell and Martha Lewis.  Called them back yesterday, asked for their address and lady told me to F OFF!!  I called this number back again today and it mentioned a few company names after hitting different numbers trying to reach a live person.  Loughner or Lockner Gates and Assoc and Infinfity Processing Solutions.

I got a message on my cell phone that I was going to be served with papers and the plaintiff number was 888=557-2302- This turned out to be Lacjner,Gates and assoc. They want $2000 from me to pay off 3 payday loans from companies I have never heard of. They said papers were already filed and the Marshalls were going to pick me up by 2 pm for RTP Refusal To Pay. As I under stand it, you can't get arrested for owing money. Same scam different phone nimber.

they are FAKE Call your attorney general or state attorney and report them This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
