I've had all the same things happen as you've all described. I tried tonight being harassing to them to get as much information out of them as I could. They told me I had taking a loan out in the state of NC in 2009...payday loan at that...two problems with this. Payday loans are no longer allowed in the state of nc and I didn't even live in NC in 2009. Just moved back here in march 2010. They also told me there was an warrant for my arrest bc of this matter. Problems with that you can't have a warrant put out for your arrest here because of something like that only small claims court allowed and then I was also pulled for speeding last month and I didn't have a warrant for my arrest then. So yea these middle eat sobs can go straight down under and burn. Dishonest people suck
On 10-19-2010, Daniel Parker who said he was from the American Law Division contacted me on my work telephone number. He began screaming at me regarding a debt that I owed. I informed him that I was not allowed to receive personal phone calls at work and hung up the phone. He called back, began screaming at me again and I hung up. He called back and I tried to get information from him. I asked him if he was an attorney and he said yes. I asked him if he was eligble to practice law in Florida and he said yes. I asked him for his Florida Bar No. and he gave it to me. He then asked for my home phone number and I gave it to him. I looked up the Florida Bar Number that he gave me on the Florida Bar Website and it belongs to a deceased member of the Florida Bar. About 5 minutes later he called back again screaming at me regarding an unpaid debt. I asked him to please send me proof of the debt at my home address and he responded with "we have e-mailed you 16 times." I told him I would not accept correspondence via the e-mail and again asked him to send it to me via U.S. Mail. He started screaming at me again. I asked to speak to his supervisor. At that point, John Watson got on the phone. I tried to explain to him about Daniel Parker, the bogus Florida Bar No., etc. and all he did was scream and yell and threaten me with arrest at which point I hung up. He then called me right back, at which time I asked to speak with his supervisor. A Scott Snyder got on the phone. At this time I was angry. I told him about Daniel Parker and John Watson. I also told him that the company was participating in in Practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and I asked for the name of his company and mailing address. He gave it to me. Then on 10-20-2010 Daniel Parker called my work telephone number and my co-worker answered the phone. My boss is now angry with me for receiving personal calls at work. I have not yet been able to even understand who they say they are collecting a debt for.
On 10-25-2010 Daniel Parker called my work telephone number and my boss, who is an attorney spoke with them. I don't think they understand. They keep harrassing me and my boss.
I received a call from 1-239-259-1649 saying they were from a criminal investigation place and that I was possibly going to jail but would not give any info as to why orwhat it was about this is the second time I've received a call of this nature
Someone has been calling me about a loan that I did not even take at all and has also been harassing me and threatening me of a legal matter. I have been scared that I did not know what to do so I gave complaint to division of Consumer Services and to Comissioner Adam Putnam of this case that has been going on since October with different numbers508-313-2173, 704-917-1365 and the latest 954-745-9017 gave an address of 3002 W. Kennedy Blvd. Suite 200 Tampa,florida 33607 I will write to the better business bureau for this.
I received the same message yesterday from a James A Jones who transfered me to his supervisor who i couldnt understand due to his speech (foreign) i kept apologizing that i couldnt understand him if he would please keep repeating himself. He got pissed off and started screaming at me and said (You F*cking B*tch you can give me a Bl$w J&b did you understand that?) and hung up on me. I was in complete shock. Before hanging up on me he informed me that due to this supposed debt i owed they were pressing Fraud Charges, and Check Fraud charges and my employer and Sherriff dept would be notified and a warrent would be issued for my arrest in the morning. Im 7 months pregnant and really dont need the stress so i called the District Attorney who told me it was BS and they dont even waste there time processing paperwork for payday loans. ITS A SCAM!!!!
