According to FDCPA or Fair Debt Collection Practices Act it is illegal for any debt collector to state you will be arrested or issues a warrant for this type of debt. Read Section 806 under Fair Debt Collection Practices Act link. Also you have the right to tell any debt collector to cease and desist any further contact with you, your family and employment. Under Section 805. By law you have rights! FTC, FBI, FCC take reports like this all the time! Contact them and report these people! The people PDLR, CSA, CFS or other names they go by are FRAUDS they have over 3,000 reports on the number 240-247-1564 and other numbers from them! They scam people who do not know the law or FDCPA every day! FTC and Attorneys for Consumers all stated that they are criminals and they change they number and names so they cannot be tracked!

FYI its illegal for any debt collector to threat anyone nor state they are investigators and ask for you to pay only by debit or credit card. Its illegal to claim your going to jail for something this small. You can only get paper work from a court to make arrangements. A debt collector cannot contact you if you request then to stop. You can either send cease and decease letter by mail or email. PDLR is a fraud, and a scam company. They have already been under investigation and if they contact you you call FBI or FTC or Attorneys for Consumers. They will tell you that these people are criminals and are trying to scare you just to get free money from you that you will never see again. Watch out for them telling you they are investigators of any kind. If they are rude and harassing they are violating Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Report them!

I received a phone call from this number yesterday stating I had a payday loan back in 2007 and that I was going to be charged with a felony and a warrant for my arrest at my local sherriff's office, if I did not pay them $ 400.00. This place is a scam, I fell for it now, I am suffereing by having to file complaints through the sherriff's office and with my bank. DO NOT believe them. They have just enough information about you, last 4 of your social, address, etc. They even called a family member. This is insane. I had previously in the past couple of weeks applied for a credit card with Capitol One, that's the only place I could think they got my info from. BE CAREFUL ON HERE!!!
