Same thing for me except it was thomas gibson. And the charges were fraud with malicious intent. For a loan of 350 which grew to 780 and now wanted 1500.
These jerks have the habit of using the phrase "govern yourself accordingly" during their scam spiels.
“Govern Yourself Accordingly” Group strikes again!
I think that this is their website: http://www.republicnationalrecovery.com But I'm not certain.
This is what IS certain according to records where that stupid phrase has been used on 800notes.

***A company must be licensed in their state as well as the one they are trying to collect in if two different states are involved.
Some Tips:
*Keep all messages
*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
*Check your SOL for your state as well.
*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
I have received phone calls from this number for three days now. One man has been Christopher Williams and Jack Smith on the same day. When I called back today he was Bryan Sutherland. I told him I recognized his voice as that of Christipher Williams and Jack Smith so asked which of the three I had the pleasure of speaking with at that moment! I have spoken with the compliance of pant as well. This all started with them telling me I still owes from a payday loan many years ago. I did take out a payday loan many years ago and as far as I can recollect, I paid off all debts. I see nothing on my credit to show collections. I placed a call to the BBB of Nebraska, as this company has stated the name of the company being Litigation Services as of yesterday and today it was the Office of Financial Affairs. According to the BBB no company exists with that name and they could not pull the number either. Per the Fair Debt Act companies must provide in writing what they are asking to collect. This company states they have already done it and I am pretty sure I have received nothing in the mail about unpaid collections. They also state that I will be criminally charged which with all honesty, can happen. They are very well spoken on the phone which can be tricky with knowing how legit they are. After researching, investigating and speaking w lawyers etc, I do believe this to be fraud. Any and all of you reading this continue to place your posts. They told me I had to pay them $945 by the end of the month and to pay half of that today or it was being sent to my county clerk of courts and the judge would hear my case. Kind of scary if you ask me BC I own my own business. So I will continue to investigate and clarify so NONE of us are scammed. Safely assuming this is a scam!!
