Hi my name is Bobby Glover
A collection agency for PLS loans called me at 8:10am on 4/2/2014 and 4/3/2014 this stating I owe over $600 dollars to PLS. I stated to the agent collector William in which he sounds like he is hispanic. I informed William the collection agent that I did not take out an loan from PLS loans. I asked will what location or store this loan was created from with my name. I stated to William i understand that he is only doing their job and their stern way of talking to people to pay a debt is part of their job. I stated to William i understand that he talks to people that lie to them all the time and i was being very honest with him I dont owe a debt to PLS and I also filed bankruptcy. William stated that their agency called me several times in which one call made on March 2010 and April 2013 regarding this matter and i have not sent them a police report. Im thinking to myself, thats not several times they called me. But Now im thinking to myself how can i send them a police report if i dont have a letter from them or information about their agency? William stated the loan was taken out in Illinois. William stated that i will need to file a police report and I said ok and William gave this face number to send the police report to 217-619-0156. I Bobby Glover asked William may I have the address for your collection agency so i can get my Attorney involved and William stated to me why did I need the address to their agency? All he needs me to do is fax the police report to 217-888-768-5812.l and his agency will take it from their. William stated to me to give my Attorneys phone number and he will call my Attorney. Now, im thinking to myself, the is a sign of (RED FLAG) for some odd reason William will not give me the agency address and this is what I called strong arming, harassment, intimidating and defination of character against me by their agency. I did inform William I would like to settle the matter in court because I Bobby Glover did not take out a loan from PLS and William stated sir why do you need an address. Give me the number and I will call your attorney. Now im thinking to myself game on and its time to take action against this agency. I feel that if people are living their life correctly then they wont feel every person in the world is lying about something.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
