they call regarding a collection from me and contacting legal advice so that they cannot sue me for adebt. They ask me to call them with a statement or my legal advisor if I wanted to settle this.
Claim to be associated with some legal company. They had info from 10 years ago and came up with some story about how a loan was taken out and never paid and they need to settle it. Only issue is they knew nothing and the business the loan was taken from turned out to be a pharmacy that has not been in business since 2004. Once I requested them to mail me info and proof, they were very agressive and pushy in saying well this is old and needs to be taken care of soon. I told them I am sorry but I am not doing anything without proof and then they just asked for an email and have not heard from them since.
They call every other day ,two to three times a day asking for Janine Neilsen (Thill) which is our daughter in law.
claiming about a loan .She does not leave with us .They just call again from 1-218-275-2016 with a prerecorded message asking you to call 1-941-251-8161 .
I usually do not answer but i did a couple of days ago to tell them to leave us alone and today I told them that she does not leave here ,they said that hey will remove us from the list ....we had that last year !!
This is a scam trying to collect money that is not owed to them. They have hacked data bases from online payday loan in the past. They refuse to give information and are trying to collect information from you. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. I have reported them to the FCC and Federal Trade Commission. This is willful harrassment and they should be stopped. Sometimes they use the name Allied.
wants you to call back to 9412518161 division of processing, wants "you or your legal council" to call them, or press 1 to speak to a rep now..guess what pressing 1 doesnt work.
so i call them, quote the FDCPA, FCRA and arkansas statue 4-3-118 to them. they claim the debt is from 2004...
1. Ask them for an address to send a request for copies of debt in writing to, " thats against our policy" FDCPA says you ahve the right to a copy of the original debt in writing , it has to be provided within 5 days of them recieving the request for it.
2. Look up our states statue of limitations. in arkansas its 5 years on written and oral contracts
3. Look up your states wiretap laws, if you state only requires one active party to the conversation to know its being recorded, record them.
4. save their number, most smart phones allow you to send calls directly to voicemail if you save the contact, its the only sure way to block them
5. Dont assume the do not call registry will stop them, obviously they care as much about the law as, well they don't..thus they are trying to scam you.
6. file reports/complaints with your states AG office, teh FBI's IC3 , the FCC and homeland security. They wont be able to do much, but its more for your records than anyone elses
7. text the number that called you, if the text goes through the call came form a cell phone, land lines cant get text. let them know your smarter than they are
8. finally, have some fun with them..hey if tehy are going to harrass you..harrass them back i say!
Got a voicemail msg from 219-281-3385 which was directed at my deceased husband. Their instructions were to have me or our legal counsel call 941-251-8161 to make a statement. I never answer calls from numbers I do not recognize. And I definitely never answer messages when they do not identify themselves or their specific reason for calling. It's a scam or a bill collector.
