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)
this company is a scam and A VERY GOOD ONE....312-278-7026 , THEY SOMEHOW GET YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, old bills you may have ignored and dumped, this is what they work with, scarring the hell out of folks and the folks are very willing to pay, I owe a payday loan company some money from years ago, and they worked with that, ALWAYS BUT ALWAYS check the number and company name out before you make and deals or agreements, sure glad I did, saved lots of money.....
Just got a call from 312-278-7026, Vanessa Brown, stating that she was calling from International Arbitration Services in Chicago, Illinois, regarding a payday loan in 2006. This is 2012 and I have no clue as to what she was talking about!! She became very pushy and rude, saying charges would be filed in the county I live in, trying to verify personal info, etc. I kept advising her that I have no clue as to what she is talking about and never received a payday loan. She then stated she would 'enter' me as refusal to pay and any income tax info filed this year would be flagged to be collected. I again advised her that I didn't know of any payday loan and since 2006 I have lived in 3 other states. I inquired to her as to why I never received any letters, etc., and if it's a collection of some sort, wouldn't I have been contacted prior to 6 years?!! I also advised her that threatening of court/charges/etc., didn't intimidate me because I know my rights. She then stated that the payday company would pull video surveillance from 2006 to verify if it was me. I started laughing at her and begged her to please do so. She then stated that legal action would be taken against me and I would need to get an attorney, etc. I told her to bring it! I ended the phone call because she was beyond rude. Almost ruined my day until I started researching and came across these complaints.
Lol, just called 312-278-7026 back and the EXACT same lady that I spoke with minutes earlier gave me a different name. Lol. The first time I spoke with her she said her name was Vanessa Brown, now she's saying her name is Brenda Mac. I asked her was she the person I spoke with earlier and she said yes. I called her out on giving a false name and she hung up in my face. Lol! PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!
Got a voice message from 'Greg Jenkins', reportedly a process server in the county I reside and he needed me to contact him immediately as he needs to serve me papers and for me to call 678-881-9942 to set up a time and place to be served. I called back to AGAIN advised them that I had no idea of what they were talking about and to stop calling. The 'Greg' guy then yells and says, "I don't want to hear your [***]!" Well, I lost it and gave him a good cursing out and he hung up. When I called back, I received the initial recording of "This is the office of International Arbitration Services." This company is located in Canada and is a SCAM.
Same people called for my Dad today, lucky I was given the phone to talk to these [***]. they told me that they were going to arrest him for fraud and bad checks, but as soon as I ask for the name and company that my dad worked for they pulled some [removed:lang] name out of their [***]. As soon as I figure that this was a scam the lady hung up on me. Good thing I got the number before hand and decided to [removed:lang] with them. I called them back and ask a [removed:lang] ton of question about the account number and the charge against my dad, the lady hung up on me three time and the fourth time I got someone new, she was playing the good cop but I told her that I needed her name and the previous [***] name to clarify some unanswered question. Then I put her on the test, I asked for my dad's birthday and SSN, she gave me two birthday and told me to tell her the right one and then she gave me an [removed:lang] SSN, and I was like "this is [removed:lang] information your giving me" and ask for the address because I told her that I was going to have to contact my lawyer.... At this point she told me that it was unnecessary for me to get an lawyer and they may of made and mistake at calling the wrong number and she hung up....... ahahahah you mess with the bull you get the horn...
