Greg Davis (ext 312) with City Mgmt said I had an outstanding payday loan that was turned over then to pursue a judgement. Informed me that I committed a fraudulent act and that matters needed to be taken care of ASAP. Here's the kicker...the said "loan" was supposedly taken out in my former married name, lists the address of my former husband and his mother, and was deposited in a bank that I never banked at. I disputed his claims so his supervisor, Lee Ann McKnight, joins the call and becomes very aggressive with trying to bully me into accepting a settlement. I then, as politely as possible, informed her that I would not accept that this "debt" is mine, I would not accept a settle agreement, that I would wait for a judgement from them, and oh by the way, you speaker to a debt collector who knows all your the tactics in trying to get someone to agree to accept what you are saying. She said "have it your way and have a good day."
For the record, I'm not a debt collector. I do work in collections for business-to-business payments.

— 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.
