This company that will not identify themselves continue to harass and call my immediate family members. Telling them I have an important matter to take care of. They have my SSN and said I have a payday loan from 10 years ago. I know this to be false. They have my personal information. And are searching the internet for anyone associated with me. This is disgusting behavior from a business and not legal.

I got a phone call from JAA in reference to documents they sent about a complaint. When I call give them reference number 967069 . When I called a women try tell me that I took out a payday loan in 2012 Ian’s I made payments but stopped and that I owe 1090.00 . I told her I had no idea what she was talking about but she still insisted I owed them . Then she told me if I don’t settled it I will be sued and a civil judgment against me. Still told her I didn’t know anything about it . The scary part is she had my id# my last for digest of my ss# miner. Just wanted to make you aware of this.

Received a call that a civil complaint will be filed in court that day if i did not agree to a payment. I i did not have the debt they were saying i had and if i didnt agree to the reduced deb t of $2000. It would be over 4000 that would be filed in the civil complaint if i did not agree to their deal. I insisted they had the wrong person. They harassed and harassed. That is when i checked with ScamPulse.com and saw so many complaints.

Received an automated call from 918 area code which came up as Capital Services. Voice mail said it was Capital Recovery. I did a google search and no business listed had an area code of 918. The voice mail said to call the number on my caller id and that it was time sensitive. Google search indicated that Capitol Recovery is an debt agency for the government located out of Georgia and Ohio. I pulled my credit bureau to see if there were any collection accounts: none. If I had any debt with the government, they would've sent me a notice in the mail and I've received nothing. I have reported the number and blocked the caller.

“I’m calling from ICC systems” is this Elizabeth Lombardo? Can you verify your address— it was my old one, 120 E Montgomery Ave unit 203A Ardmore PA

Wanted my birthday. I said I was ambivalent abt disclosing that bc I had recent theft. They said it was in reference to “ Banfield Pet Hospital”. I verified my DOB: 9/26/1968 and then they abruptly hung up saying — must be wrong person.

I called BACK 2 more times! First call back— they were like, yes that was unprofessional. Verified my DOB again! And made excuses and hung up AGAIN! 3rd call back I spoke to a man this time. Told him my outrage, that I think they are obtaining my personal info, & I was going to contact the BBB. He hung up!

I was told by my old landlord to contact that number.

To pay my bill that I owe. I then was redirected about four different times to a woman that called herself Ms. Howard. She then told me.I owed over seven thousand dollars and I can need it to pay it over the phone. I felt very uncomfortable doing trying to get a hold of Someone to help me find the correct company to pay my bill and get my credit score back up

Said I have pending litigation in Prince George’s County for a CashNet USA loan from 2023. I was living in Knoxville, TN at that time. They then proceeded to leave scare tactics on both of my parents answering machines but never called me directly.

They called from 3804443399 and said that my wifes debt was picked up by a dept collector and left the number 18552952590 to call and try to work something out. Upon calling the 855 number with the reference number they left in voicemail they asked her , her name and to confirm the last 4 of social and address. Well when she said she started a new job and wont get paid until june. They said unless she pays its going to court thursday so i asked them to said a valadation letter stating the debt and original claim then they said yep and hung up. So i called back to make sure they put me on hold 20mins then hung up on me saying court was in 2 days. I looked up numbers and the ScamPulse.com flagged one for spam and other one was marked as spam with multiple people having same issues. I just want to make sure others dont get used.
