These people called saying i owe them for a payday loan that i never received. they had the last four digits of ssn#, stated they had drivers license#, they called my workplace. when asked to speak to a supervisor, i was told "you can talk to my good friend Jeff"
They have been calling my cell phone and my work non-stop. They even harrass my coworkers. They stated that they were Harland and Hart Firm? and that they are ordering my immediate arrest and that they were picking me up at work and in front of all my coworkers and that i was a deadbeat for not paying my debt. Said his name was Kevin.
So this is day three of them calling my work and harrassing my co-workers. The bad thing is they say they are from Holland and Hart and there really is a law firm with this name, it is a shame these people are making a bad name for that firm and they aren't even affiliated with them. They keep telling my co-workers that I am a dead beat that doesn't apy my bills and that I owe this for a payday loan and if I didn't give them my information they were going to have me arrested at my work. When I hung up on them they called back yet again and told me I was rude and didn't know who I was messing with.
This number just called my job saying they have a law suit pending and asked how I wanted to settle, I asked for information and they could not provide any, and said I had to go to orange county to the court house to resolve the issue. They also had the last four of my ssn#, and when I asked for more information on the case they could not provide any. I said what bank and they told me the name of my bank, I said my loans are current and told them they were liars and he hung up.
I received calls from them on my cell phone while I was on location. I tried to be helpful asking them to tell me what this was about before I started giving them phone #'s, ssn, etc. They were extremely rude and hung up. They all speak with very thick accents.
Had the SAME thing happen as all of you. They said I had an outstanding payday loan with Guess USA Payday? (Hard to understand them with their thick accents). The "jr attorney" talked to me first and when I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, he rattled all my information off (last 4 of my social, DL#, routing number to my bank. When I said I didn't understand what he was talking about, that I didn't have a payday loan with that company, he said "Well how do I have all this information in front of me?" I do have 2 payday loans with different companies that get paid on time directly out of my account, but neither one of them are this. When I explained all of that to him, he said this company is suing me for $5300 and how I wanted to proceed, settle out of court or take legal action with my attorney. I politely said "I don't have a goddamn attorney!" SO he put me on the phone with his "senior attorney" Steve Watson, who said this was the final time he'd contact me before there's a warrant out for my arrest and how did I want to proceed. I said how is this the final time when I was never contacted a first time? He said to get in touch with the Orange County court by Monday or a warrant would be out for my arrest. I said "OK give me the number" He said I can't give that to you. So I freaked out at him, saying how the hell am I supposed to call them if I don't have the number, he said "I said get in touch with them, not call them" Lovely huh. So I hung up on them.
Looked up the company (they said they were based out of CA) and there is a Holland and Hart Associates, but it's in Colorado. I wouldn't take this seriously. The only way you can put a warrant out for someone's arrest is if they're charged with a felony... Plus I'm not in California.
