The letter said I had taken a Loan out while I worked with a certain Company 12 years ago, and immediately after taking loan I closed said Bank account to intentionally fraud them. They have my last 4 of s.s. # my latest address where I reside at this time. It said this was the 2nd attempt in this letter to collect this money, I don't know when the 1st was suppose to be. I paid one of these probably 2 years ago because it scared me. And I believe it was suggesting the same time period last time because of someone I was married to at the time, and now it's happening again. They sent no dates, no loan agreement with any signatures validating anything they claim. I put email address in the Website column because it would't take it in the email box it kept telling me it was invalid. Also they was asking for $1457.13 I guess i was trying to enter it in wrong.

Two or three folks called me several times before Christmas from one of their three listed numbers of: 877-700-6515 877-700-6543 and 877-700-9314 as well as a local number to Austin of 737... for a female document deliverer who all threatened suit and gave docket numbers with in 24 hours. I recorded them and consulted attys and scholars and reviewed THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT & QUALIFIED WRITTEN REQUESTS per my telegrams friends help. Much more to say... Will take these guys to my local small claims court. Issue was regarding 1,837.41 or a down payment of 459.35. Sounds like these scammers are liable for triple damages possibly?

I received a letter from "Progressive Legal Group" stating that I was being taken to Civil Court for an 11 year old loan I never took out. My two references one passed away in 1996 and the other has been blind and hearing impaired for over 10 years at the time of the loan. The state I no longer lived in nor was working at the job they gave me. I spoke with and employee named Jade employee #707 and informed her of this she told me she was going to put it in dispute and hung up. This is a scam!

I received a similar letter with my mothers and sister in laws name for references and to be summoned if I dont pay by 1/10/24. I am assuming they never came after you if you ignored them or sent supoenas to your relatives. They are just hoping you will call and give them money. I had some debt back in 2015 but have paid it off and I am guessing they are using that against me to make me think I still owe money.

Every few months I get phone calls from different 866 numbers stating that I have a case number but won’t give me any details nor do they give any business names. They call my work and harass management. The most info I could get was a fake document that says I owe over $11,000 from a Fleet Bank credit card from 20 years ago. I’ve got my current credit report sent to me and I owe nothing of the sorts. I’ve never had a Fleet card. Fleet Bank no longer exists. They were bought out by Bank of America which is my bank. I went there and they told me it was a scam. Yet they are relentless at harassing me. I will file a police report if possible. I am including the document as well as a transcript from a voicemail received today. “Transcription

"Hello good morning my name is Roger Keppler this message is for ***** ****** this calls in regards to a previous conversation held in our office and it looks like your case will be noted as noncompliant I'd like to speak with you before making a final recommendation please call me back at office number 866-706-7451 with your file number ** ******* again office number

866-706-7451 with your file number ***** **** thank you very much for your time have a wonderful day...”

Received a notification of a lawsuit and civil complaint that I was severely delinquent of a previous installment loan with EXMONEY while working at a location that I never worked. They are going to subpoena my parents who were listed as references, to testify against me.

I am being threatened with garnishment and fees. It stated that I obtained a loan and immediately closed or changed my bank account. They stated that "we have noted your case with fraudulent activity and with malicious intend to commit wire fraud.

I called the number listed a few times but never had contact with a person, I was told to leave my phone number (which I didn't)

I hung up.

I got the exact same letter. The only difference was the place they say I took out a loan and I’ve never taken out of cash advance in my life.
They also list my parents to be subpoenaed, one who is deceased.
Another way to tell this is a scam is the address is exactly the same except for the city. How are they going to have a location the same address but 2 different cities. way too sketchy.

I got the same thing. The only thing they did get right was that I worked at the place (it was only for maybe 4-5 months)...but it was a place from 13 years ago! One of the references "on the original application" is someone I didn't meet until 5 years ago..and the other one is deceased. I have great credit and never had this debt on my report. EVER. This is not something I ever did. Odd this comes so conveniently during the year we built and closed on our house and even more conveniently after I just bought a car.. it also came in my new last name, which wouldnt be correct for the timeframe in which they are referencing. They are supposed to send the notification in the name of the debt holder (if it was even a true debt), not your current name. BOGUS.

Just got the same. One of my “references from original application “ is someone I didn’t even know during the timeframe which they said this occurred… which was 13 years ago. It also came in my current last name which I have only has 2 years.

A women called me from (828)541-6083 she said her name was Katie and I owed 497.54 to a third party called Alliance Diagnostic Laboratory. I told her my doctors do not use that lab, I told her by Aug of 2022 I had met my cat, cap and my insurance paid 100% of everything even out of network. I told her they needed to refile. She said they must have used them and it was out of network and I had to pay. I told her I was going to research and call her back. I asked her questions about about my acct# with the company I owed the money she said it was my phone number. She would not give me their phone number, their address, or any information. I told her to have a blessed day.

On Monday, November 27th, 2023, I received a voicemail from a person named Joann inquiring that I would contact the number listed in my phone log immediately, for they had important information for me. Once I called, I was told that I had an outstanding balance from EZCorp EzMoney creditor balance of $1200 from PG County, and I could waive it by paying separate amounts of $400 and the rest of $64. They had my old address, the last four of my social security, and an email address I currently use. I was told that this was a loan taken out before the year 2020 and that if I had any acknowledgment of the loan, my identity could’ve been compromised. My uncle also received a call from Joann regarding any information about me and how to contact me. I've never taken out a loan from any creditor. An email was sent out with the creditor’s name, the account number, the reference number, and the discounted amount to be paid. The manager’s name is John.

A woman called me said they been trying to reach me about a civil matter. She said in 2016 I had taken out a payday loan and it was deposited into a bank account and I had failed to pay it back and asked if I wanted to settle it today. I told her no because I did not take out a loan. She then said I would get served and have to go to court and they were gonna garnish my wages. The scary part is she knew where I worked and my address to where I lived and my date of birth. But I knew I never took a loan out.

Myself and my husband have been receiving phone calls from a local phone number that shows up as “Canney’s water company” on caller ID which is a local business where I live but not a debt collector- a literal water business. The phone number on the caller ID is 269-201-5478. The caller in all occasions has told me (using my maiden name of over 10 year ago, ***** *******) to call another number at 855-682-1531 and provides a file number (23243586). But the caller has told me and my husband different business names for this number. One time they said it was called United Carriers and when I called this 855 number they identified themselves as Greenview Financial Services, or GFS.

Today I called the 855 number and it was answered by someone initially who asked for my file number and told me they would transfer me to the legal department upstairs. Upon being transferred, the man asked for the case number, asked if I was ***** ******* (I replied yes even though this is my maiden name I haven’t used in 10 years) and then put me on hold. When he came back on the phone he said he needed to verify my identity and asked me to confirm my DOB, which I provided and then he asked if the last 4 numbers of my soc was “****” and I told him yes. I did not give my soc number but he seemed to have it. He then asked me if my last name was ******* or ******, and I told him I wasn’t giving him anymore information until he told me who he was and what this was about. Then he told me that he was calling because I’m being sued by JC Penney for $4000-some dollars and asked if I’d received paperwork about it which I did not. I told him I’ve never had a JC Penney credit card and told him it seemed very scammy. He replied that he doesn’t know what to tell me, but he advised me to forward any paperwork I receive to an attorney. I asked for the address and business name and he told me he was with Greenview Financial Services and their corporate office address is 277 S Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314. I simply replied that I don’t know what this is about but I have had no such debt and it’s incorrect and he just went silent and eventually hung up.

I have pulled all 3 of my credit reports to see if perhaps my info has been stolen and there is something on my credit - I found nothing. I also looked up my name on my local municipality court site to see if there was a case in my name and there is not. This seems like a scam but one where they have my personal information and my husband’s phone number.
