i never ever borrowed from this company...EVER. I truly believe they fish through online applications of other companies i have inquired about in my "desperate" times.
the 1st thing i'd asked was for names phone numbers and addresses. the 1st non-speaking english person who sounded of an indian descent couldnt even pronounce my american name. he had me on hold for 3 mins as i'd patiently awaited another indian speaking man named Mr. Dejesus... how ironic? but i asked for the info... he repeated my SS# which sounded correct but i never confirmed. i'd asked what company was the law office representing, and he stated quick pay day loan. as i've stated...never heard of these people. when i asked what was the date the funds were loaned, he immediately started yelling. i then hung up. i can be professional, but if you are willing to work with me, be courteous and professional, no matter if a customer is yelling and or cursing, which i was neither.
i have learned being in dire straits, that as a consumer, you still have rights. do your homework. if a company is going to bring you through and to litigation and they have all of the information...where is the legal documents that should be sent in the mail? i figure if i am on the east coast, and this company is on the west coast, as theyve claimed... (eventhough the law ofc is out of Georgia) i would like to stand by and see this trick. so go on mr Dejesus... sue me...i have every statement for my acocunts... you have to prove how much and when you've loaned me this imaginary money...all i can do is laugh and hang up...come to your senses people and realize this is one big joke. they gave me a fake address also... 17100 gillette ave of los angeles ca 92614 for a quick pay day loan represented by william scott and associates. if they keep calling me, i will send a few notices to the consumer affairs and contact bbb.
Holli, contact your bank immediately change your account number contact all of your creditors as well and advise them that you have a new account number if you are paying them through auto payments. contact FTC.gov and file fraud alert on your ssn this will be reported to the major credit reporting agencies. you can also sign up for ID theft protection, some cost 10 a month some cost a bit more. but these will help you protect yourself from this danger.
Thank you so much for the info Kerry. I did contact the 3 credit bureaus and they have "flagged" my acct. and I called my bank acct. and they have set up a password that has to be used for any type of changes, transfers, etc... The scammer that called me just told me the bank I banked at but when I asked him if he had my acct. and routing #, he told me "it was in his file." He didnt give me the info like he did with everything else he knew. I am checking my bank acct. online everyday and my bank told me if there was anything suspicious or abnormal, to call right away. I may still change my acct. number once my pending cks have gone through. What a scary situation. These scammers need to be stopped!!!!!!! It just sickens me to know that they have all of my personal info.
