Keep getting calls from Fanelli and Associates, they call my home # and my husbands cell phone at the exact same time.  I don't know how they got his cell #, cause we do not put it on any applications or give the number out.  They say they are a legal firm and not a collection agency.  They say that are collecting on a payday loan that we took out.  We did take the loan out, but it has been paid. The loan company kept taking the payments out of our bank account even after the loan was paid until we finally closed the account.  Today when they called, (it's always a recording, you have to call them back to speak with someone)  I called them back.  The first person I spoke with, I asked for them to mail me something showing that I owed this debt so I could have a chance  to dispute the claim and that I wanted their mailing address.  She immediately puts me on hold and then a guy gets on the phone saying he is a supervisor. He claimed his name was John Gamble.  Doesn't really give me a chance to talk, but starts rattling off how I owe this and they're going to file a lawsuit against us.  I asked him if he would send me something in writing.  He asked why I wanted it, and again I explained that I wanted the opportunity to dispute the debt, since I had paid it already.  He then asked me if he could send it to my email.  I told him no, that I wanted it mailed.  After that he accuses me of being rude, he then says, "I guess you don't care about the earth".  I commented back that he was being rude and he didn't know what I cared about.  He then again said he would email it, and I told him no, I wanted it mailed to my address.  He makes another comment about not caring about the earth, then says never mind, they will just proceed with filing a suit.   I asked him why he was refusing to send me something.  He says that everyone always ask for something in writing saying they will pay, then they don't, so he doesn't want to send it.  I explained that I wanted it so I could dispute it, which I should have the opportunity to do.  I then asked for a breakdown of the account as to what I had owed and how much I paid.  He tells me that I need to provide that to him.  He just kept talking over the top of me, so I finally just said send me something in the mail and hung up on him.  I also asked him how they could be calling our home phone and our cell phone at the same time.  He said he was just good.    I truly believe these people are running a scam.  A true collection agency does not have an issue with mailing you something so you can dispute the debt.

They do not have bonds or licenses to even collect a debt, they are liars and thieves they will do anything and say anything to SCARE you into paying a debt they CLAIM you own. DO NOT FALL for it. Please do not give anyone your info over the phone, why would you. Get it in writing and record all calls and use it against them. A lot of consumers are fighting back these days and you can to, document everything and contact a consumer lawyer and im pretty sure its in the bag from there. Do not deal with these people hell lie to them and say you work at a law firm and answer the phone with some fake lawfirm like they do chances are they will quit callin

YOU CAN NOT BE PROSECUTED FOR A DEBT, YOU WILL NOT GO TO PRISON, YOU CAN NOT BE SERVED BY A 3RD PARTY DEBT COLLECTOR WHO HAS NOT OBTAINED A LICENSE OR BOND. THIS IS A CIVIL MATTER BUT WITH COMPANY ITS HARASSMENT SINCE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR BONDS OR LICENSE TO COLLECT A DEBT NOR SUE.

PS everyone who says its the happiest place on earth to work with...LIARS you work for them and trying to save your reputation, try saving your job you will be closed im sure soon!!!

The debt is false, the lawsuit threat is false, and a real creditor suit must be conducted where *you* live, not where it's convenient for the lender. That's plenty of bad behavior for you to serve a *real* summons and complaint.

Got a call today from a guy claiming to work for a supposed law  firm, Fanelli and Associates.  He said he a papayday loan agency turned my account over to them for lack of payment.  However, i never authorized a payday loan from this supposed loan agency nor did i receive the funds to the extent of my knowledge. The guy told me i had 48 hours to work out arrangements with them or i would be served and expected to show up for court 1000 miles away from where i live. I believe this is a fraud and and have found multiple posts online stating the same kinds of things.  Will give an update tomorrow after i learn more.

they helped me with a debt i took out about a year ago which i tottaly forgot about, its was one of my payday loans. and to the guy who wrote above it is a legal situation depending on the amount and your state laws.  reguardless they helped me threw this and gave me a payment arragment to clear out my debt.  they sent me the proper paper work for prrof of debt and payments and they sent me a paid in full letter after my last payment. Just because some people dont want to pay their debt doesnt mean everyone and their mother is after u or tryin to scam you.

They are a company called Fanelli and Associates, they say they are legal and all this but they are a collection agency. They are extremely rude and dont listen or care about anyone but themselves. They calls 6 or 7 times within 1 hour. (Look up 888-880-7456) on google and it will take you to a few pages about them. Good luck!
