Sample Agreement
I just got a call from 757-716-7196 which is check into cash collection agency called consumer recovery association. they told me i had a payday loan from 10/21/2003 which was 360 and now is 702. they were threatening me by saying if i did not pay, i would have to deal with the consequences. i told them i was unemployed for months now. when i get a job i will pay. i also told them this was the first i was hearing about this. i did not remember owing anyone for a payday loan. i did look up the statute of limitations for this, it says in washington state it is 6 years. it has been 9 years since then, can they even call me about this now? the way they acted makes me not even want to pay them after that call. thanks patrick
Patrick,
They are violating federal law regarding debt collection. Tell them to f*ck off. The statute of limitation on the debt has expired and they can not enforce that you pay. In fact; I am going to prank them now.
A woman from this number (757) 716- 7196 called saying her name was Sofia. She was looking for my sister and said it was important that she call back her office. She left a call back number of (877) 394-0396. I ask her what is this about but, she just hang up…very rude!
Thanks to all that posted their comments here and BEWARE! Do not give out any personal information to these people and report them to the authorities!
On March 11th, 2010 I took out a payday loan from a company called PayDay Loan Yes, on the internet. Due to unemployment, I have been unable to pay it back. I live in NC. Today I received a threatening call stating that if I did not pay back the original $500 plus $149 in fees plus over $1400 in attorney fees, by the 18th of Nov., I summons to appear in court would be delivered to my home by a police officer and I would be required to go to appear in court. Then, if I am unable to pay back the full amount, I would have an attachment placed on my checking acct, my license would be revoked and my ability to plate my vehicle would be effected. She told me I could then go to jail. North Carolina stopped payday lending in 2010. I do not know where this payday lender is located. I am scared to death and wonder what I can do to stop these threats. I pleaded with the woman on the phone and she said she would not lose her job to help me out.
Please help!
Please help!
They are threatening you because you do not know the law. Threats are illegal. The police DO NOT get involved with debts. Ignore them and do not pay them. Get educated on consumer laws.

In august 2009 I took out a payday loan from check n go. It ended up in default. This last week I have been getting calls from several different numbers all with the same case number always leaving a voicemail with a different number than what they called from. This morning I called them back trying to resolve the issue. The company's name was ACP & I was cerimoniously threatened with 2 felony counts & told if I didn't come up with money by 130 today I needed to turn myself into cook county, Illinois. I am in clark county washington! I followed the chain from the original creditor (8 companies later) was lead back to this company (ACP). I have 15 dollars in my bank account so my question is what should I do after being rudely being hung up on 3 *
I received a payday loan American Web Loan, here in Fort Lauderdale Florida, I defaulted on the loan due to the fact that my husband got hurt at work and I'm am the sole provider. the company loan me 500 dollars and then I received a phone call stating that I defaulted on the loan and owe 1000 dollars. they keep leaving me messages at my home and at work stating that they are trying to serve me with court papers stating that if I don't pay the 1000 dollars, I'm going to jail for frauding a financial institution. is that possible can they do that. please help any information you give i am grateful for.
Amy, they can do no such thing. In fact; had you recorded that call you could seek compensation for their illegal threats of arrest. File a complaint with your attorney general's office.
