RSR and Associates - This company is a scam collection agency that specializes in the collection of PayDay Loans. Steven Weinberg was contact person. This company uses threatening tactics and illegal methods to intimidate ...often telling people that they work directly with their local District Attorney's office and criminal charges are looming. Upon consulting with my attorney, he said the following; "First of all, obtaining and not paying back a payday loan is not a crime, unless it was done originally for the purpose of fraud. Secondly, if you took out the loan in 2007, likely it is no longer legally enforceable because most states have a 4 year statute of limitations for suing on a debt has run. Third, there are numerous reported instances of pure scammers calling from who knows where impersonating attorneys, law enforcement personnel, courts, and other government employees in an attempt to collect on old pay day loans. The FBI has a press release from last fall on this topic. I personally have had instances of my clients being called by someone claiming to be from my law firm attempting to get money from my clients for pay day loans. Unfortunately, this criminals are likely overseas using internet phones and probably beyond the reach of civil attorneys like myself to sue them. But, you can take steps to let them know that you are on to their scam, that you will not be intimidated, and that you are not going to pay this debt without written validation from them that they are the owner of the debt and how much is owed. Likely they will eventually go away."
Well it looks like they had to chang there number. I got a call from Steve RSR. Assoc. it is 773-770-4884 and was first contact from a Sophia Martin 773-796-7912. My answer machine states she is an Attorney and has filed my case with the Clerk of Court. I called her to get this clarified she then passed me to Steve who she states is with the mendiation department?! First off she did not answer the phone with her law office name she only said "hello"....I had asked her 3 times before she transfered me to Steve what is the name of your law firm.. I told Steve I had paid in full the week after I got the loan! I told him I need the information with account numbers before any debit or credit card is to be given to him and once I receive it in the mail I would contact him. He told me they don't work that way ...but he would email it or fax. I told him by law it must be certified. I said Steve you must know that by now if your in a law office. He went on to tell me if I don't pay I would not be able to have any banking accounts for 5 years and with Attorney fees and court cost of over 2,000.00. I have called my states Attorney Generals office and filed a complant and the Federal Trade Comm. Who are these guys RSR Asso.!!!???
