They called my job saying that I was going to be sued and to get an attorney. When I asked what was the problem all they continue to say was to get an attorney so I hung up and called them again and told them that. I was going to sue them
Don't know why my message shows 6/5 because I put my message up yesterday 6/4, anyway, I have reported them to the Federal Trade Commission (I went online to the US Dept of Justice and was linked to them for the complaint), have reported them to the California Dept of Justice and to my own state North Carolina. I told CA that I feel like more than a scan it's lke extorsion, they threaten you to get money from you. I also suggested they contact the FCC since the google search showed this was a landline in CA. I have not heard from them since last night at 8:10, they called my cell ph and I didnt answer it (it would have been 5:10 in CA). I was upfront with my work and they are very supportive. I think as long as you know you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear. I think they threaten a group a day, then when they see they can't get anywhere they move on. LETS ALL BAND TOGETHER AND GET THE COMPLAINTS GOING, THEY THESE ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICES WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. You mentioned you had no proof from your bank. I knew I had NOT used them but I went to my bank, got bank statements for Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov and no deposits or attempted withdrawals, not even NSF fees which would have been charged, tell your bank what happened, they'll give you copies for May, June, July. LETS TAKE CONTROL!!!!!!!
I'm dealing with the exact samething but the thing is I never did an online payday loan at all! Anytime I tried to get information from the man who called himself "frances lopez" told me he was the attorney in charge of "federal legislation of unsecured loans" of course he spoke with a heavily indian accent and so did anyone else I spoke to. They started calling my cellphone on saturday and when I answered asked me for my attorney's information. Anytime I tried to get actual information about the company and when I supposedly did this loan he couldn't provide me with any information. When I suggested that this could possibly be fraud he started getting angry with me and telling me that he as a "U.S citizen" had never heard of any fruad cases or anything....I told him I thought he was an outsourcing company from india and he started screaming at me and then just hung up on me. The worst part is he threatened my child saying he would make sure she would be put somewhere once I had been taken to court.When I asked if I made these payments could be made magically my case was still on hold and then he told I had to write an a letter of apology and then told me word for word what I was to write. In my nickname above I have included the number he called me from,it was scary for me because he had all my information and my friends names and numbers something needs to be done about this I went to my bank today and got information on what to do they told to me call equifex which is a company that puts fruad alerts out to the three major credit bureaus in amercia and it lasts for 90days I really suggest that others do this to because you will be alerted to anything that someone might try to do with your personal information. These are evil people who need to be stopped they think by scaring and intimidating us that we will just rollover and give them the money they want but obiviously we arent the dumb amercians they think we are. I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one out there and I think if we get together this could work.
Same thing has happened to us. The phone number we have is 951-565-4490. They even read me my rights on the phone!!! You can't understand anything they're saying. I called the better business bureau in CA and they said that the company doesn't exist. The company name they gave me is Financial Accountability Associates and they work for Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans. It's garbage. They have all our information.
An "attourney" named Mark Wilson (HEAVY Indian accent) called me at work and read me an affidavit over the phone. He claimed to work for a company called FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY ASSOCIATION, under the parent company FEDERAL LEGISLATION OF UNSECURED LOANS. be aware there is no such company!!!!!
He basically said I owed his "client" money 864.00 and that If I didn't show up to Superior Court of California by 12 noon tomorrow- (Wednesday) with my refrences I would charged...Mind you I live in Illinois. This [***] also said there would be a warrent out for my arrest filed at my local police dept and that I would be terminated from my job
When I comfronted this man with questions of -what, why, who, how, he became aggiated and told me not to interrupt him anymore. He kept saying that I didn't have to "prove" anything to him but to the court, because it wasn't his problem.
The worst part of the call is that he had my ssn, bank info, home address, place of employment, and the name of two refrences. I immediately told my supervisor at work, and called the FTC and filed a complaint. I also called my local police to file a report, and transunion to file for fraud alert on my credit reports. Nothing has been going on with my bank acct but i will be sure to call them in the morning.
If this happens to you, don't be afraid- ask questions, be sure to get the persons name and number. all the info you can.
