Got a call from Noah Dombrowski calling from the cook county arbitrator's office collecting for payday loans. Said he doesn't have the information and said he'd offer to settle. I told him to send me something in the mail and I'll contact him back to settle. He offered to email me instead and that's how I got his info.
Received a call from a Helen Ward from UCRB (who ever that is – Google returns nothing) saying that since I failed to respond with Form R16 it would be filed with my human resource department tomorrow. …leaving one with the feeling that some action is being taken against their wages. Since I have no HR department and owe nobody it screams scam – but to what avail I don’t know! If you have an answer I’d love to know.

Well if you have his info, would you please post it here so that we can check this out. The Cook County anybody does not collect on any loans for private companies. No government agency does. It was illegal for them to represent themselves as government agents, but that seems to be the MO of these cretins. E mail is not a valid form of sending the validation letter.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
