This stupid company has called from every single area code in this earth. The funny thing is that NO reputable company would call and leave a message with someone's name and say the reason they are looking for them. They say they are going to contact their human resources department, and they are looking for an address to mail documents. Common, this is such a big JOKE. Not even the IRS does things like this. The IRS is a serious bill to play with, and even they mail documents, and after a couple of attempts if they get no response, they will send letters that require signature.
Bottom line, no matter how deep and stern their voices are, someone smart will NOT fall into the intimidation your want to portray. It's all the flags that are raised when your not a legal company.
I'm getting so sick and tired of these people calling my daughters phone number. They leave no message. They have been associated with Goldberg & Assoc. Trying to give me a summons on something I have payed and been scammed for a lot of money.
They have called me for the last three years. Granted I did owe check n go money but it also was included in a 2010 bankruptcy. So they keep up with the threats and I just mess with them the one guy I laughed at him thru the whole phone call that he called back telling me to take my [***] to the cops and call him back because I was going to be arrested for check fraud. That voicemail will be getting posted on YouTube soon for all to enjoy. They still call every day but I need a real address for them to go after them thru the bankruptcy court and make them pay
So tired of these people calling me and I had free time today so I called them 3 times to attempt to find out why they keep calling me. The first person would not give me any info because I refused to verify my SS# with her. She got argumentative and hung up. The second person gave me info, said that he was from Goldberg and Associates and they were going to file fraud charges against me. I told him I did not have any outstanding payday loans and his info was incorrect. He also got argumentative and refused to listen to me, kept talking over anything I tried to say. He also hung up on me. The third time I simply asked for their address and the man asked why. I said to verify that you are a reputable company. He would not give me an address. I said I wanted to send a cease and desist letter and he said it would not do any good. If I think they are a scam the letter won't do a thing. He also hung up on me. I would love to have my lawyer take care of this but I have no information other than the 2 phone numbers they keep calling me from. They have my name but I don't know what other info they have. I have blocked the numbers but for some reason the voice mails they leave still show up.

Called my teen-aged daughters cell phone claiming I used that number as a reference #. (Never did!)
Said he needed payment over the phone right then to stop from filing in court today. So I started asking for more information. Would only tell me that it would be filed in state court but could not tell me a specific court. He got more hostile as I asked specific questions such as his name, address, phone #, what company I owed, how much was owed, what the account number was. He wouldn't tell me the account number saying that was state evidence. He finally hung up on me as I was asking when the last date of payment was and what was the statue of limitations. So I called the # back and told him my lawyer need information to be prepared for the law suit. He tried to give me a fax number but I said that I don't need a fax number just a few questions answered for my lawyer. He told me he was going to hang up again unless I was willing to make a payment today to stop the filing. Told him I have 2000 minutes left on this phone and I will keep calling until I get the info I need. He hung up. I called back 8 more times. The call kept going to voice mail of a woman named Rebecca Berman. Finally Edward answered and put me on with a supervisor. The supervisor told me completely different information as to the amount due and their acct/reference number. (Case # 201434023 and Case # 20144198) Also, he told me a different date for the last payment. Again he demanded a payment today. I told him that I will take the information I collected to my lawyer for review and of course he said that the case will be filed today and hung up on me. I have sent a certified letter to the address above. But, of course, it is still at the post office waiting to be signed for.
I also received a call a few days later from 971-404-3188 which I missed. The message left on my answering service was from the same man (Edward Benefield) that I spoke to from Debt Mediation Service. This number associated with Goldberg and Associates.
