DON'T FALL FOR THEIR TACTICS! They are low-life collection vermin. They will not sue you, send you to jail or report you to the state like they claim. I don't know how these people sleep at night. scum.
I smell a dead fish in your post. Could it be that you are part of the scam game to get people to call in so that you can flush out a few dollars from their pockets?
This is not a arbitration company it is a debit collection company. They left a recorded message of a woman claiming to be the director and if I didn't call they would prosecute me but never said why. I called a rep name David came on claiming to be an arbitrator for my case dating back to 2008 for a payday loan, and I had 1 chance or they would charge me with check fraud. I told him they couldn't because it was for a loan and also I file bankruptcy and it was included. David continued to argue that chapter 7 and 13 doesn't cover fraud and I stopped him again and mid sentence he hung up! Pls do not fall for any of this. They are lies and are trying to scare you. Know this arbitration doesn't happen with criminal cases restitution does and only after you have been convicted. Not to mention the police would arrest you not give you a chance to pay someone. Also an arbitrator usually works for the court between you and that company and most importantly us a civil matter only! So glad I have my attorney and I dare this damn company to bother me again because it is I that will take them to court for harassment and be getting paid!
This sounds more like a extortion scam operation. They love to pull the arbitration or mediation service line. Googling these only turns up tons of mediation this and that and they will avoid giving a legitimate & verifiable name, address, city and state. They operate off stolen information.

— 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.
this is not a scam. i had to take care of this and im glad i did you can think what you want because they wouldnt have all this information if it wasnt legit.
