Yup. Got a call from Mandy Johnson, too how about Mrs. Sullivan. Also about a Payday loan too. Called Westwood Mediation, they claim Mrs. Sullivan and Mandy Johnson, were fired. Asked Mr. Frank Styles to send me a email regarding this matter. I never did!!!!! They are a scam. Stay they have offices in Houston, TX. The call always went to Atlanta Office.
They did the same to me and yes I have an outstanding loan. They told me the same thing and used scary tactics on me which worked. I gave them my cc over the phone. Ms. Manny Johnson has been taking money out of my account to paid for this loan. The first letter sent had so many misspelled words. Recently they changed over to The Stage III Group and myself and bank called this number the person that answer said she has been getting calls all day with people saying this company took money out of there accounts. Come to find out Westwood Mediation change over to this company. My bank decided this was a scam until further investgaton I've called Westwood several different times and days it continues to go into a voice mail. Please let me know if this is a real firm or they just took me to the bank.
Yes, this is a scam. They say they are "mediators" NOT debt collectors and in the next two business days I will be hauled into court. I'd like to see that happen. Even if I had a debt, the debt they claim is "small claims" business. Nobody is going to knock on your door or go to your place of employment and haul you away.
This was not this number that called, but the same company. Between the number that called, the number they supplied in the voicemail message and the number I was told to call, I was certainly given the runaround. Area codes from multiple states... RED FLAG!
I kept them on the line for 30 minutes asking them questions. They couldn't answer my questions but I figure if they are wasting my time, I'm going to waste their time and frustrate them in the process.
I asked for verification of debt. They (I spoke to two people) claimed they contacted me nine times and a few minutes later it became eleven times and then fifteen times. They claimed to summons me to court at my place of employment. I laughed because I work out of my home on most days. I teach at a local university part-time so my home is my "office". I asked which place of employment and they stated it would cost an extra $1,000 to release that information. I said I'd pay for it and to add it onto my bill. They threatened to arrest me and asked how I'd like to take care of this debt so that I don't get arrested. I said, "I need to consult with one of my attorneys about this matter." The tone of the conversation changed--almost defensive--and they gave me ANOTHER number to have my attorney call but that I better do it quickly or I'd be summoned to court. Now I'm calling all the numbers to see if they are even correct numbers.
I had some time to kill today. Having fun pranking these clowns. LOL
I got a call from these people and the recording said the same thing many other's have posted. I too have a payday loan from the Cash Store who at the time the loan was due refused to work out arrangements with me to pay them back. The casd store wanted all the money even when I explained to them how much they could draft from my account to avoid a returned check. Needless to say they still attempt to make a full payment draft which caused the bank to reject it. The then sent me to a collection agency who did the same thing..refused to make arrangements to be paid in full however in smaller payments on a bi-weekly schedule. Now I have these people calling with threats. WTF! I never said I would not pay, only said I can't pay in full at this time but, I'm willing to make payments until I get it paid in full. There's no need for the Mediation people to call to try to scare me, nor the collection agency to call to try to belittle I'll take my chances with a Judge at least I know they will be willing to make an arrangement. I'm no deadbeat...I pay my debts these people have to understand that sometime paying something is better than paying nothing at all. I quess when you work on commission it makes you heartless!
