Financial Recovery and Collections called to say they were collecting a debt of $487.76 from Alliance Diagnostics. They said to pay today or they would report to the credit bureau. If I didn't pay today, they would report to the credit bureau that I owed $2000. They said if I paid today they would reduce the amount owed to $385.26. They would not provide an invoice. I searched the Better Business Bureau and saw many complaints and some people ended up paying the money, thereby losing it (and the fake collection company now has their credit card into). This is a scam....it sounded very legit.

I just got my 2nd letter and it wants me to "settle" by 2/1/2024. 1st one shows my deceased ex-husband as a witness, the other is my now-husband who I did not even know at the time I worked at the employer listed ( over 14 years ago). The letter came in my now-married name and new address of the home we just built. Note, if it was a true debt, then it would have been sent with the legal last name at the time the so-called debt was incurred. I have never had a debt with this company and nothing shows on my credit report.

Received letter stating that I have an outstanding installment loan from EZMONEY (EZCORP) and that civil action and civil court judgement may result and be aggressively enforced. The enforcement would be wage garnishment or lien of property. Then they list one person I know that may be subpoenaed as witness to testify against me and one person I don't know or have any affiliation with. I must pay online or mail in payment in full or their intent is to immediately have me served with a court summons by the county Sheriff's office (no name of county provided). I did not take out any cash loans or have any outstanding debts of this kind.

I received this letter stating that I obtained a loan from a company called ez money, and that I was being sued for the disclosed amount by a certain date or they were going to take me to civil court. I’ve never gotten a loan from this company. They listed my name along with names of family members, the last four digits of my social, my address, my credit score (which is incorrect) and previous employer. They claimed that I immediately closed my bank account after receiving this loan. No date the loan was issued was given in the letter, nor any information on what bank that was supposedly closed. This is the first letter I had received, but the letter states that this was a second attempt of contact.

On Jan 23, 2024 I received a Civil Lawsuit Notification by US postal mail from Progressive Legal Group on behave of EZMONEY a (subsidiary of EZCORP), stating I took out a loan and then I was supposedly to have closed or changed my banking information and and my check (ACH payment) was returned unpaid by my bank due to non-sufficient funds for an amount greater than $100.00 and they noted my case would be reported fraudulent activity with malicious intent to commit wire fraud and would report these activities to a civil court and Transunion credit bureau if not paid in full by February 1, 2024. It also states that they will subpoena as witnesses to testify against me should the matter go to trial. The witnesses were my ex-husband who passed away in April 2021 and a ****** ******* whom I have no idea who he is. I have attempted to contact Progressive Legal group 4 different times and never spoke to anyone just got a voice mail saying to leave a message, to which I did on my first attempt to contact on January 23rd at 6:23 pm (CST) when I left my name and phone number to return my call. I have not heard from them yet. I also attempted to contact them on January 24th at 9:45 am and 10:03 am (CST) then again January 25th at 10:42 am (CST) and still not able to reach any one just the same voice mail.

Personal identity was originally stolen through a FaceBook Marketplace Venmo scam -- $255 lost, but scammers posing as Venmo were sent a copy of my driver's license and Social Security number. Now a little over a week later a letter from Progressive Legal Group came with a physical address of 2304 W. Hefner Rd. # 21480 Oklahoma City, OK 73120, collecting for EZ Money a subsidiary of EZ Corp, whom I have never done business with, requesting $934.85 or they will take legal action. Nowhere on the letter does it offer the option of disputing the validity of what they are calling a debt and it provides a credit score saying they will be pulling a hard inquiry which will "significantly affect" my credit score.

Their Hefner Rd address is actually a local post office and #21480 is a PO Box. I contacted the local post office to report the fraud, ***** ********* and was advised that they are forwarding mail going to this PO Box to Texas. The clerk referred me to filing a US Postal Inspector report.

I also called the phone number for Progressive Legal Group and was initially hung up on when asking for a physical location since the OK address was a post office with mail being forwarded to TX and then second time I called they forwarded me to a "supervisor" only to be redirected to general voicemail.

Another affiliated web address is https://www.northwestbilling.com/acctdash, if you click on make a payment.

I am filing a police report, but BEWARE!

Received a letter today that I have a civil lawsuit for an installment loan that I didn’t pay or or was return while I was or am employed at employer. I do not recognize the name EZMONEY. Also they state they would reach out to the following references on orig application which one is my father who has been deceased for 14 years. The other person is a lady who was married to my dad’s brother when I was a child and have not seen her over 25 years. I tried to find out who what this letter is about due to the fact they are trying to garnish my wages or take me to court.

The scammer used the following information on the letter:

Full Name, Address, Current place of employment, Last 4 numbers visible of Social Security Number, My Transunion Credit Bureau Credit Score, and the names of family members they said were references on the "loan" that never actually happened. This information was correct, I do not know how they obtained it.

Scammer said a loan was made in the amount of $951.42 via EZ Money. No Such loan was made. The documents referenced a case filed with the US District Court against me. In which there were two charges 1) the repayment of the loan plus interest, court costs, and attorney fees, and 2) malicious intent to Commit Wire Fraud. The letter was very threatening in nature and demanded immediate payment.

My Husband received a threatening letter from "Progressive Legal Group" stating notification of Lawsuit & Civil Complaint on a loan that they stated he was delinquent from a company called EZMONEY. They listed a previous employer that he has not worked for in 10 years. In the letter it has the last 4 digits of his social security number and his so called credit score. It threatens that if $1288 is not paid by due date then they will take legal action which will result in civil court judgements and report to the credit bureau. They also threaten to garnish wages and because the so called bank account was closed that the loan payments were suppose to come out from. They have noted your case with Fraudulent activity with malicious intent to commit wire fraud. They also threaten to subpoena my husband's previous wife you passed away 11 years ago and his daughter -in-law. They have a contact # 1-800-391-7635. The address when you look it up is a postal office . This is scam and these criminals need to be arrested .If you are elderly or not aware of the scams that happen , you could easily be frightened and pay because of the threats in this letter . THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!

I received a letter in the mail today from this “Law Firm”, stating they’ve been given (transferred) my debt from Aegis legal Group and can settle my account from $6,243.79 to $495.00 due to a NSF Fraud. If do not take action by Feb 2nd, they will attempt to sue me. This is apparently from Check n Go, and I did do business with them, but nearly 10 years ago and I’m definitely past the statute of limitations for being able to be sued.

The font on some of this letter is visually fuzzy and it lists my credit score on it at the bottom. They’ve never appeared on my credit report and I took care of my debt with Check n Go, so this is definitely not legit.

I received a letter stating that Progressive Legal Group has filed a lawsuit against me for NSF fraud on a loan with EZMoney for $1,319.67. They had they last four digits of my SS number. They also said that they were going to call my father and mother as witnesses and listed their names, but my father died in 1984 and mother died in 2019. I've never had a loan with EZMoney. I did not call the phone number or went to website. I know this is a scam.
