A Walter White calls me to my work 50 times a day even after they have told him that we are not allowed to take personal calls at work. Ive mailed them a letter to cease communication and a verification of debt. this guy yells, screams, intimidates, threatens, harasses me every damn day. he has given out private information about me to other employees and threatens them as well to have them arrested because they are helping me. how do i get these guys to stop harrassing me. i cant take it anymore. they scare the hell out of me and my children. im a single mom and i fear going out by myself thinking they are lirking around the corner to come get me. :(

How do you know that Mark Briandi is known as Mr. Kowak?  I'm not saying he is not, just curious as to how you know that.   Btw, if any of you have not done so already, file a complaint with both your state AG as well as the NY AG in Buffalo.

Federal Processing Service is another name for these a***oles.  You guys are right they are bogus and they are harrassing people.  I will be contacting BBB and an attorney.  

address I have found on them is as follows:
7954 Trasit Rd. Suite 181
Williamsvile, NY 14221  
708-406-7688

I'm right with you, let's sue this scumbags a**.

Rec'd a call from Mr. Cook today on my job. Made a threat to have me taken off my job in handcuffs.  Couldn't give me any information other than I owed money to P&G Cash advance.  I don't know this company.  This "Mr. Cook" screamed and hollered about what he could do to me, even telling me who I banked with.  How do we report these people?

Let's do it!

Same exact call I received!

Has anyone been contacted by a "Mr. Cook"?  They have gotten some money from me but if this isn't legit then I need to cancel my scheduled payments?!! Help

ATTENTION: THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE FDCPA( FAIR DEPT COLLECTION PRACTICING ACT). THIS COMPANY IS A THIRD PARTY COLLECTION AGENCY AND THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO FOLLOW THE FDCPA AND THEY ARE IN MAJOR VIOLATION!!!! LOOK UP THE FDCPA AND LETS GET A  LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS SCAM OF A COMPANY!!!

Its amazing that your company...if it is a company... has over 18 complaints with the Better Business Bureau and you havent responded to ANY of them, yet you are responding to 800 notes postings.... Hilarious

I'm with you; my e mail address is Bluebrother35sd@cox.net...the only problem is that they are hiding as best they can...corporate address is a UPS Mailbox store in Amhearst NY...I'll do what I can...

You're an [removed:lang]...c'mon out in the open and play....if Federal Check Processing is straight up why are they hiding?  Corporate address is a UPS mailbox store in Buffalo NY?  Cowards & scam artists and not good at it...you're going down....and all of the "investigators"  what a joke...

Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

12/01/2010?The IC3 receives a high volume of complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. In these scams, a caller claims that 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.

One of the most insidious aspects of this scam is that the callers have accurate information about the victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. The method by which the fraudsters obtained the personal information is unclear, but victims often relay that they had completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls began.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide to the victims any details of the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers threaten victims with legal actions, arrests, and in some cases physical violence if they refuse to pay. In many cases, the callers even resort to harassment of the victim?s relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters instruct victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain dollar amount, on a specific date, via prepaid visa card. The statement further declares that the victim would never dispute the debt.

These telephone calls are an attempt to obtain payment by instilling fear in the victims. Do not follow the instructions of the caller.

If you receive telephone calls such as these, you should:

§                                         Contact your banking institutions;

§                                         Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;

§                                         Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;

§                                         File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

it's so strange, dec. 4th my wallet was stolen from my place of employment! i wasn't the only victim. On Wednesday Dec 7th, 2011 i had to  go to the bank and open up new accounts through BoA. i only had a savings account, the manager told me i had to open a checking account? so i did? Strange enough i recieve a phone call on Dec. 8th regarding checks from a Gary Marshall. I hung up the phone and called from a restricted # and he answered Detective Marshall. don't be fooled i went through this before with an online loan. and i am going to confront the bank as well!!

RECIEVED PHONE CALL AT WORK, THEN THEY ASKED FOR A FAX # AND FAXED OVER PAPER WORK REGARDING EMPLOYMENT HOW MUCH MONEY I MAKE, DATE OF HIRE AND WHAT MY POSITION WAS AND IT ASKED FOR MY SIGNATURE AND TO FAX BACK.
I CALLED THE NUMBER AT A DIFFERENT NUMBER WHICH WAS 1888923330 AND THAT PERSON ANSWERED DETECTIVE MARSHALL.

Nobody stole any information... you took out a payday loan, tried to pay it off with a bad check and now you're being called out on it. Your loan was sold...

I got an Email from him..he said hd was contacting me to try to get me to pay off a loan idk who this guy is or where he came from I was wondering if he was legit or not!!

I have been getting threatening phone calls on my cell and at work. Today I just received a fax from a Gary Marshalll asking for an employment verification requesting all my "CURRENT" information. Who are these people... and then for an online pay day loan...that is like 6 yrs. old.. Can someone advise me if this is even legal!! They threatened to file a report and have me put in jail....can this be done???

PSA:  
debt collectors are using your facebook friends list to leave messages concerning debt.....WORD TO THE WISE, LOCK YOUR FRIENDSLIST AND USE DISCRETION ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ACCEPT AS FRIENDS......

**YOURE WELCOME

I got a phone call from a person that I dont live with or am not related to telling me they had a message for me to call this number, I checked online and seen that alot of people were having calls that weren't of their doings. I called this number back checking into, and they told me I needed to pay them money without any proof of anything, I asked her how it is that I have to pay something I have no proof of it being, and she told me it was me trying to get out of it, people do it all the time, as I told her I want proof in hand of this so called bill I have of a fraud check...(which keep in mind I still have the same checking account and have heard of no such thing) So had no answer to why I can't see the paper copy of this, and kept changing the subject, I then notified her the same thing she was accusing me of was something that I read almost word for word on the website they were blamed for fraud was, she then accused me of lying, which I was only asking for proof of the "bill" I owed. She then hung up on me.....I am pretty certain in any professional work place that is not allowed and you would have no problem sending me a paper copy...and would stay on the phone til something was worked out....

i have 2 different men calling me for a loan i defaulted on with cashnet. i live in ohio. they say i will be prosectued for check fraud and they keep calling people from my facebook page. can they do this?

this is a real company they processed me for an nsf it stems from my payday loan with cashnet..i think they are a legimate company..i dont think your atty will help you on this one...

Yes it is .. Its called 3rd Party Disclosure

I also received a call from the 888-792-3330 and 414-376-6299 basically saying that they received some checks from a bank that I don't even bank with and going on about how they need to get in touch with me because they were concerned about my information being used by someone else. The person who called me was Christopher Thomas ext 301 or something. I let it go to voicemail because my Mr. Number wasn't picking it up and hanging it up. They also had my information wrong. It's a scam I believe. I haven't received any information in the mail about legal action.

I got a phone call from 888-792-3330 & a 414-376-6299 this morning reporting they were from Federal Check Processing Agency. Spoke to a Darrell Porter who said I had two violations in a city I know I DO NOT. After speaking with him I find out the money he's trying to collect is from CashNet USA, and not from that so called city. Shortly after speaking with Mr. Porter I was sent to Christine Spegal, "A Federal Attorney" who said that if I didn't pay $ that it was a felony in my state and I would go to prison. I have never received any documentation from these people. And when they called all of my information was correct except my last name. Who ever stole my information had my banks name, my address, my phone number. But had my last name wrong, they had my former last name.
Also told me that if I were going to go to trial i was going to need "A Damn Good Lawyer" because I would lose against them. I BELIEVE IT'S A SCAM.

They repeatedly call and threaten to send employment verification to file a law suit in my county.  I thought a debt collector had to have a court order to get employment verification without your express written consent?  They have called my cell, my work and somehow my sister's mother-in-law, which makes no sense; we don't even have a common last name.  My identity has been stolen, and I'm sure this is fraudulent, I'm just not sure what to do about it, or how to even locate the company?
