An 8 year old loan? Check your state for the statute of limitations on that debt but I suspect it is time-barred....meaning they can't take any kind of legal action to collect on it. They are trying to scam you.
I received a call from these people asking for money.....stating I owe a payday loan that I never received!!! Now they say the cops are coming to get me!!!!
Received a call from this number and was told that I owe a payday loan that I never received!!!!! I was also told that I will be arrested and put to jail tomorrow!!!!!!
They are criminal scammers. Do NOT give them any money or any of your information. It is illegal for them to threaten arrest or jail. Debt is a civil, not criminal matter. Learn your rights under the FDCPA.
I got the same phone call today and was told the same stuff today. I went to whitepages.com and put in the phone number and it states that this number is a home number and belongs to a Janet Taylor and she lives at 533 west monticello st. in Brookhaven, MS. I wonder if there is any legal action we can do for crank calls like this.
