Type of a scam Debt Collections
Company called and threatened me with jail, three charges of intent to defraud a financial institution, breach of contract and submitting a worthless check for an amount of $390 from back in 2008. They told me it was a payday loan, I told them I never had a pay day loan and they told me I need to get a lawyer and then threatened me with judgements and jail time if I didn’t pay the debt immediately. They sounded legit and they gave me my SSN, checking, routing number, address and asked me to verify and like a fool I did prior to looking up the company and learning about their many fraudulent practice reviews. I ended up having to cancel my debit card, close my account with fear they would gain access. I also filed a fraud alert on my credit. they called from 1-855-311-3742 and left an urgent message for me to call regarding my property. During my conversation I asked for the representatives name and the name provided was Tom Hartigan at 1-855-202-4652 ext 116

The person "Jennifer Brooks" called me saying that I was getting serve papers to my work of employment and that I had to show up in court on April 26 for not paying a payday loan of 510 back in 2007 or 08, not sure of the year. Then spoke to a " Ms. Jackson" and told me that I can settle now so I do not have to go to court. So I was really scared and gave them my debit card and took out 255. according to my bank statement the money from a UBS Charlotte OH.

I received a phone call this morning from phone number (855) 293-0203. He stated his name was Steven Rodgers. He had some old information of me such as my maiden name, a very old address from 10 years prior, etc. However, he did know the last 4 digits of my ssn and last 4 digits of my acct number. He stated that I had defaulted on a loan that was opened sometime in 2012 and that I was being sued and that I could have a federal offense against me because I owe over 3,000 dollars to this loan company. Of course it was nerve racking to hear this and have someone know parts of my ssn and acct number. My husband got on the phone and was getting as much information as possible and we called the courts that he mentioned as well as the "so called" company he worked for. None of them had any record of me. This was a complete scam and yes it is scary to hear that you may be getting sued but luckily we were able to do some of our own investigation and find out that that was all false.
