UPDATE: I took the call from them at 8 a.m. this morning and played into their game to get as much info as possible. They are reading from scripts, and if you ask them anything that goes off-script, they transfer you. I spoke to 3 people this morning: Louis Wilson, Heather Lawson and Ben Foster. In looking up Heather Lawson, I see complaints about this scam dating back to 2006!! Why can't we stop this?! This personal information should not be released when people apply for a payday loan.
When I asked for an address, they gave me 42 Broadway 5th Floor NY, NY 10004, and said they are the DCA Law Firm - Department of Corporate Affairs. In actuality, there IS a DCA at this address, but it is the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs.
When "Ben Foster" no longer felt like making up stories to answer my questions (such as "If this was in collections, why haven't I received a written notice within 5 days of initial contact, as per the law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?"), he said they would go ahead and process my file and we could deal with it at the courthouse on Monday. I sweetly answered "Oh yes, let's go ahead and do that." He was a bit surprised and then asked for my attorney's info, so I said "Yes, he definitely wants to talk to you" and gave him the info. Then I told him that we were aware this is a scam, that I have already reported him to the FTC and FBI, and that all calls were being recorded. I told him to never ever call here again or he would be the one showing up at the courthouse. I hung up. No callback yet. I am sick to my stomach with what these people are doing to scared, financially-strapped people.
i asked for paper now they want to takme me to court no paper have been filed per the court house. they also sent threating phone calls that i have on file.
They have been doing the same thing to me!!! Its always on the weekends Its has been for the last three weekends I get this call about being sued. I never received any money from this company or who every they say they represent. THEY ARE A SCAM!!! They want to scare you into getting your finical info so they can take all your money. They are not even in America. They hang up every when I ask for a local address or a real call back number.
My advice is do not answer or hang up.
Times are too hard for people to be out there trying to scam the few dollars I have left.
I just received that same call from Law Offices of Cash Partners of America LLC alleging that I owed $1855 for a loan that I supposedly took out in 2009 and I told Rachel Jonathan that I never took out a loan in 2009, then she said that maybe it was 2008. She said that I needed to pay over $5,000. I got suspicious because her accent doesn't jive with her name.That's why I wanted to check them out. Glad I did!
