A "Special Investigator" Fred Meyers called my mother's home number who then asked for my little brother and oldest brother's father (whom I have no contact with) and asked for me by name. He never left a number with them. I got the number from Caller ID, was told I had an outstanding account and civil and criminal charges will be filed against me unless I pay $1400!! I don't know who he is or where he got his information from, but he wouldn't verify anything. After doing some research, I found this number belonged to International Judgements Services. Although this is a true debt, my creditor informed me they don't deal with these people and this was indeed a scam.
I got a call from International Judgements Services about a debt I supposedly owe to Quick Cash for a payday loan from 2002. First of all, the statute of limitations in Virginia is 6 years. I am apparently going to be served with an order to appear in court, for civil charges, and criminal charges for fraud. Bring 'em on!!! I would love for these [***] to go through with it. This is a scam. Also, professionals do not tell "debtors" that they are deadbeats and [***]. Can I complain about the obscene lnaguage to the FCC?
Received a call from Miranda Carter Legal Division. Call in reference to claim file by Fast Funding (First East). Requested to speak to Investigator Mancini who was not available. Transferred to another representive was will willing to set up payment arrangement if partial payment was sent today. Request documentation be sent to verify transaction. He stated the western union be sent person to person to Travis Benson, Esq., Alexandria, VA 22306 and that email documentation would be sent upon receipt. I provided email for written documentation to sent. Message was received on government phone and I will try to determine is origination.
I got the same call. It took some work to find out where this outfit is.
Here's their address since it isn't listed on their web site:
10 S RIVERSIDE PLZ
CHICAGO 60606
You can file a complaint with the FTC if you think they are doing things illegally. Also this address should enable you to write a letter demanding they stop calling. Once they receive that letter, further contact would be in violation of the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act.
