don't believe it!!! I have been dealing with these type of companies for a couple of years now. I had a payday loan in 2006 which I paid off and they have said I was going to have a warrant issued, they were going to garnish my wages, they were going to serve me with papers and all of the other threats they seem to like to say....let's just say I have gotten my license renewed, gotten my car registered, have even been pulled over and given a warning from a DPS Trooper and guess what!!!??? No warrant is out...what they are doing is against the law. You need to know the consumer laws regarding your state when dealing with these morons...in Texas a debt collector can not garnish wages unless it is ordered by a judge, they can't put a lien on any of your property and they can't arrest you (there is no debtors prison). Oh and by the way, still waiting for the 48 hours to be over and be served at my place of business and I'm still waiting to be arrested (been at least three years)
just wanted to enter the fact that these guys said they were with "international arbitrators, the commercial division". They left me a voicemail saying i needed to call them about this bad check being written on my behalf and if i don't call before friday then they're bringing this case to the county i live in. bogus.
Message left on my phone from "Holly Mancini", who claimed to be an investigator. Message had a case number and told me to call a number in Los Angeles - 213-261-0234.
When I called that number I got a recording that said I had reached 'International Arbitration Service"
I 'm quite sure this is a scam of some kind ...
Got a call from this number, I knew it was a scumbag scanner so I did a little research and found out how to record my phonecalls. After they identified who they were I asked if they wanted to continue the conversation, the call would be recorded. The guy said I don't have his permission and hung up. The office they claim to work for International Arbitrary Services. They are a bogus debt collecting company that is.trying to scare people into paying off something that has either been already taken cared of, charged off on bankruptcy, or the statute of limitatons has already expired. They have several people that will call and say they are from the county you reside in and say you have to get served papers. Don't believe them. This is not the legal way you are served. Thy will threaten to suspend your driver's Liscence and summons you to court. They don't have a leg to stand on. The only information they have about you is what can be basically googled or from an old report. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE INFORMATION. They will only cite the last couple numbers of your account number or try to get you to update names or numbers. I don't know how to get them to legally stop calling you but do not become one of their victims. You should never give anybody your payment information over the phone. I hope this helps.
