I received a voicemail from SP Legal Services, a Mr. Davis - from phone number 312-373-9363, saying that it was urgent I call back, as they would be filing a criminal complaint to the state attorney's office. When I called back, Mr. Davis was unavailable, so I spoke with a Mrs. Roberts. She informed me that I owed money from a payday loan, that was back in September, 2014, and that I had been sent numerous letters from SP Legal Services on this. Well, this was totally false, as I did have a payday loan, but had paid it off completely, and had received nothing in the mail or by phone from this company, until this phone call on September 16, 2016. She informed me that I would be receiving another letter from them in the mail. At that point, I started to think, is this a real company? So after I hung up, I went to the BBB and found that they had been in business less than a year, were not rated, and had an alert that mail had been returned from that address. I called back, spoke with some other woman, and told her that I could provide proof of payment of my loan. After that, I never heard from them again, nor did I ever receive anything from them in the mail. I have read similar complaints against this company, with much the same scenario - same Mr. Davis, same phone number, same scenario - owing money on an old payday loan. This is a scam for sure, and I don't even know if this business is legit. It certainly should be investigated. Do not fall for this if a Mr. Davis from SP Legal Services gives you a call and says you owe money!

I initially received calls from this alleged company 2-3 months ago from a couple of different 800 numbers. They indicated they were a debt collection entity at that time and were attempting to collect over $700. They claimed I took out an online payday loan in 2011 for which I had not completed payments. First and foremost, I had not taken out the payday loan they alleged. They also stated an address and bank account that I had not lived at/used in over 10 years. I researched the initial call online and found a multitude of complaints that calls from this "company" were a scam regarding similar attempts to collect an alleged payday debt. I called this alleged company back and attempted to get both their address as well as the address and contact information for the alleged payday loan company that they claimed was attempting to collect a debt. They refused to provide me with any information, claiming I needed to first confirm my personal information with them. I refused to provide them with any personal information and advised I was going to report them for fraud. They hung up on me. I subsequently blocked the numbers from which they were calling. Today, I received a call from the same alleged company but the number was 312-373-9363. The initial message on my voicemail was from a "Mr. Davis" with SP Legal Services and stated he noticed there was no response to the state mandated notification that was mailed to me, either by me or my retained attorney, and that it was very important he speak with one of us immediately. He provided the above 312 number and advised that if he was not available, one of his associates would be glad to take my information. I called the number back and initially spoke with someone who identified herself as Mrs. Roberts. She claimed they sent out a notification to my address and had not received a response. She then told me the notification was sent to an address at which I had not lived in over 10 years. When I asked what the notification was in regard to, she indicated they were filing a criminal complaint to the state's attorney's office in my area in regard to me not paying an alleged payday loan debt for over $700, now allegedly taken out in 2014. She indicated the alleged payday loan company was 3rd Primary Lending and referred to a bank account I have not had in over 10 years. I explained that I had no such online payday loan and would not have received any sort of documentation as the address she provided was invalid. She asked if I would like her to read the criminal complaint and stated she could take a recorded statement from me. I advised her neither of those things were going to occur because this was not the normal procedure for any type of criminal legal proceeding. I hung up with her and researched this number. Again, a multitude of complaints regarding them being a scam. I called back, spoke to a different person and tried to obtain information regarding their business and the alleged payday loan company for which they were serving "legal papers." They gave me an address for SP Legal Services of P.O. Box 1978, Chicago, IL 60615, but again refused to provide me with any information about the payday loan company other than the name they gave. I advised I was going to report them to the proper entities and hung on them. It should be noted, they did not state they were going to collect a debt from me on this second go around of conversations. They only indicated I would be contacted by the state's attorney's office in my area.

Mr. Davis from SP Legal Svs called and left me a message to tell me I had an unpaid payday loan. He said there was an affabidavit for my arrest. When I called back, the woman had old employment info and my bank name. She said their were felony fraud charges against me and that if I did not pay I would be taken to court. She wanted me to pay in full and wanted my bank account information. She said she could not produce original loan documents but I get an attorney to uncover those. When they asked for my bank information I told them this was a scam. They said they could not hear what I was saying. I said you can hear me. The line went dead.

My wife received a call from individual named Rachel Roberts at SP Legal Services stating that my wife owed money from 2013 to a first party lender which they would not identify for use. They stated that the lender was filling criminal fraud charges against her and the paperwork was set to be filled at the end of the day if we could not pay the restitution. They stated that she owed $723.34 and if it could be paid in full it would prevent the paperwork form being filed. After hanging up with them I searched the phone number that they called from and provided us with to call them back (312-423-6622) and it came up as a scam number that already had 11 complaints between Aug - Sept 2016. The complaints were all exactly the same thing as what they said to us when they called even the same names. We almost paid them at first but after seeing the online complaints we opted not to in hope that it truly was a scam!

This company called me from a Rosenberg Texas number and told me that the state of Oregon was going to file charges against me for fraud from February 2013. She verified my last four of my social and my mailing address and she said my maiden name. She informed me that my county which is here in Tulsa county and Oklahoma is going to be setting my court date within 14 to 21 days. She says that she could read the affidavit to me and then it was from a company that dealt with payday loans. I have never dealt with a payday loan at all. She claims that they have mailed stuff to me and I have never received anything from this company. After she read me the affidavit we hung up and I called the number back and got the court case number from her as well as a phone number and where they were located. She gave me a Chicago number and told me they were located Chicago. I asked her why she was call me from a Rosenberg Texas number and she could not give me an answer. I looked up this company on the Internet and it show they are in Canada. I then Google SP legal services Chicago and it comes up with a company in Chicago but with a totally different number. I called the company and no one answered because it said the company was closed. It does not sound legit to me. I have had people using my identity in the past and I have been disputing that. I'm afraid that this is going to be another problem.
