I had a girl by the name of chelsay cally ky work said it was a family emergency. Just to turn around put a guy on the phone stating I was going to he arrested if I didint clear this up.
Got a call first thing this morning stating much the same. I was charged with 2 felony counts of check fraud and if I didn't pay the amount of 925.17 I was going to be "thrown in the back of a cop van". I dealt with a man and women Jay Murray and Ms or Mezz Lakes. The business name was not given to me they refused to just kept saying they were the fraud and collections department and such. I asked for documentation to be faxed to me and they told me it wasn't their job and to not call their office again....I'm so upset and freaked out for nothing.
I got a call yesterday from a Miss Yates saying that I had a debt for $761.42 that has been turned over to the court. The debt is from 2010 they said. I was told that unless I paid them by 4pm ( they called at 2pm ) then I would have two warrants out for out for my arrest. The charges were for felony check fraud ( I never use checks ). They said I would be in jail for 120 days with no chance of bonding out. After that I would go before a judge and be ordered to pay up to 3 times the amount owed.
This morning I called to get the information on these claims. Asked for the docket # and was told it was 800531. I asked where the warrants/case were from. The guy said "Texas", to which I replied," No [***]. I figured as much since I live in Texas and you have my old address. I'm asking what county?" I was told green county ( there is no green county in texas, no matter how you spell it ). He told me I was going to jail for 7 years and hung up. I called right back and asked to speak to Miss Yates and was told that she was in a deposition at the moment. I kept calling back and either no one answered or I was hung up on. When I finally got thru I was asking for a supervisor and company name. Was told the company name LRG but got no answer for the supervisor. Asked for them to read me all of the info and got switched back over to the guy that works there. He kept avoiding answering my questions saying that they already had ( which I wasn't ). I told him i was going to contact my pops lawyer and that they were going to be paying ME money, they were going to be in a REAL deposition, and I needed their info so the lawyer could contact them. Got hung up on.
So, I wait a little bit longer and call again. Same run around. The lady I was speaking with still wouldn't answer my questions but did let me know she didn't care whether or not I went to jail because she was going to sleep just fine tonight and put me on hold. The guy picks up, is still very rude and tells me how I've already been giving all info. He then proceeds to play back the audio of me telling him how I'm going to find them and sue them ( I was raising my voice and using some foul language but, never threatened physical harm of any sort nor did I infer it ) and told me that's what he was going to play for the court. I just laughed at him and said "so what"? Then he told me, " you're a [***] scumbag" and hung up.
File a report with the proper authorities as I did. [***] these [***] bullies!!!!!!!
