Left message saying it was a courtesy notice concerning the cancellation of delivery for documents due to failed attempts in obtaining signature and to please contact the sender to make the appropriate arrangements with a file number.

When I called back to inquire, they said I did not respond to a letter mailed to me- which in fact I never received. When I asked who this was with, they named an old healthcare entity from 5 years ago and said it was through an insurance company that I did not have at the time. They said if I didn't pay that I would receive a summons in court to potentially have to pay $3k+. Then they gave me multiple payment options now for a lesser amount if I paid then.

When I asked for a letter or more details, they said they could not provide it due to a law called HIPAA and that I could call the insurance company (that I didn't even have at the time) for more information about a supposed claim from 5 years ago?

When I went to review the web-site it was very vague, and all social icons- Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter- went to a generic Wix site.

I have been emailed a letter about owing money to Cash Advance Inc. and I do not recall having a loan ever with this company. They threatened I would be arrested, demanded money, said they would garnish all of my wages etc. They repeatedly threatened me about money and not paying and said there was a warrant out for my arrest. This is very upsetting and has stressed me out beyond belief. They have to be reported and stopped because this is just wrong.

I received multiple voicemails threatening me with a serving to appear in court if I did not call them back immediately. When I reached Aliah Dalton at extension 373 she told me my wages were going to be garnished and that someone was going to serve me papers at my place of employment if I did not pay off an outstanding debt from Citibank, which I knew had been paid off over 15 years ago. She claimed to have my social security number. She had my address but not my actual apartment number and said multiple letters had been sent to me in an attempt to collect this debt. When I asked her for specific information on the account, she said she would email me. She never sent the email.

She advised me to call Citibank to verify her claims and gave me their general 1-800 number.

When I called Citibank they said the balance was 0 and that it was paid off so long ago and is so old they no longer have information on the debt. But they assured me there was no debt. When I called back to tell them what Citibank had said, their outgoing message said all their representatives were unavailable.

They called me and said there had been a complaint filed against me due to a loan. They were very rude, they said they are with Stafford Law Firm. They never told me an amount owed. They said they mailed me documents. When I called them out as a scam and hung up on them. They preceded to call my daughter, my son, my mother and my father. No clue how they had their numbers. I have no loans outstanding, and I certainly wouldn't put my children as a reference on any loan ever. Crazy!!!

I got a call from a credit agency on 7/14/23 stating that they were attempting to collect a dept from the EZ Money Corporation concerning a payday loan I had taken out in 2012. I told them that it seemed like a scam and that I didn’t take out a payday loan in 2012. The person on the phone then told me that they were not a scam, and that they would see me in court and then hung up on me. They had my name, old address and last 4 of my social, and they also texted me a link to a formal looking letter about the “debt”

This person has called me and left a message stating they were trying to collect a debt. I called back and asked for details. They said I took out a loan on September 21st in the amount of $500 and they were increasing it to $1000 since it went to collections. I told them I did not take out a loan on that date and she told me the last six digits of my social. Then I asked them what company they were with. They stated Akermon Rossenfeld but spelled it Ackermon Rossenfield. Then they asked if I was going to pay today to keep it from going on my credit report and I told them it wasn't me and that I'm not paying anything. Then they said so you're going to dispute it? And I said yes and they hung up.
