had lady by name of shaorn chambers call my mom yesterday stating i owed money to a payday loan and had to be payed by monday or court will get involved. i tried calling back several times with no answer ans several messaged left.
Yes, got a call yesterday. Made the mistake of answering and now they are calling my work number every three minutes. No message, just call. I am already working with Check and Go to repay what I owe so I have no idea why these jerks are threatening me.
My husband and I started receiving calls from this person yesterday. Today, she called my cell phone and I spoke with her. She told me she is an attorney in NC, license # NC57683-Z Sharon says my daughter and I "persons of interest" against my husband and we will be subpoenaed against him. Further, my husband will have a case filed against him with our county's DA. Supposedly he "Offered a check to Citibank for $2,043.61, then did not follow through, he defrauded the bank!" I told her she must have someone else in mind. She said, well the complaint is coming from "Plain Green" too. THEN, she changed her story after I put her on speaker with me AND my husband -- who confronted her as being a fraud -- saying the debt is 1) too old and, 2) settled. Sharon Chambers then said to my husband, "You know what, YOU are not to blame, I see now your WIFE did this without your knowledge. I am amending this complaint to your wife, who did this without your knowledge and left you holding the bag."
FOLLOW-UP:
I contacted NC State Bar, (919) 828-4620, s/w Beth. No such name or number as a legitimate practicing attorney in NC. Beth forwarded me to David Johnson who handles complaints of people practicing law w/o a license. David is out until Monday but will call me back. I left a VERY DETAILED VMM.
Have you called the person/people you are working with at "Check and Go?" If you let them know that you are being illegally harassed -- and that your account should NOT be with the "collectors" since you are paying, they should intervene. C&G cannot keep you in collections AND collect $ from you. Once you go to collections, the contract passes from C&G to their agency and you should be paying them. HOWEVER, since they have agreed to work with you, C&G have negated their own contract with their collection agency, ergo, they must order them to cease and desist attempting to collect on their behalf. ("Double-dipping") Good luck! I know it is aggravating. :-(
Hi, she is breaking many laws regarding ethical collection practices. Primarily intentionally misrepresenting herself as an attorney when she is not one.
Please read my post below. Collectors are a tenacious, annoying bunch. You cannot ignore them though, you need to follow up -- even if you do not owe anything, you must dispute the validity of their claim, in writing. If you do not know how to reach her/them, file a complaint with the NC Department of Consumer Affairs. You will probably have to make a couple of long-distance phone calls, (like I did), but it is SO WORTH IT, for the peace of mind and satisfaction to say, "GOTCHA!" to the scammer. Good luck!
Just got a call from Ms Sharon Chambers as well. Telling me my mother defaulted on a payday loan and I am her co applicant so therefore I can be held liable. First off, my mother would NEVER take out a payday loan. Second off, I am smart enough to google her name and number to this site. When telling her her jig was up, she said all of the people on this site are liars and are just mad that she called them about their debt. Told her I was calling the attourney general, and that she had better not ever call my phone again!
