402-817-7860

Same person calling about "You are hereby notified.....or your attained lawyer....."  same person & message left as from 402-454-7286 / 402-817-7833 / 402-817-7961

I received a call from this number and they said I owed money from 2011 but they couldnt provide me the name of the institution or the amount owed. They told me that I should settle it on the phone before it goes into court. I laughed and said that if I owed someone, they would contact me before a third party would. They responded that I should 'govern myself accordingly'. My response was, " I just did". click!.... So watch out for this scammer. I immidiately googled the number and now I'm here.

Fraud!  When asked by whom did i commit fraud - they hung up on me.

Called them back from my land line. "This is John Steel." Who do you work for John. "Give me the number we called and I can pull up the acct."
John that would be pretty stupid of me to give you my phone number not knowing who you are.
"This is Direct Lending Financial Affairs"
Thank you John Good bye.
No website that I can find.
Scumbag scammers.

When I got home from work last night there was a voice message on my phone to call the above number.  I called and this woman said she was  calling because of a $500.00 dollar loan I supposedly received from Lending Direct back on 2/17/12.  They accused me of fraud saying that when they went to deduct the money from my account it came back NSF.  She also said Lending Direct tried calling me and also sent me emails and something in the mail which I told her was not true.  She went on and on about a 90 Day Investigation etc   By then I was very angry.  I was asking her questions  and she said to let her finish speaking then I could ask whatever I wanted to.  I asked her what her name was and she said Tina Black,  you know just like the color. She then said she needed to speak with her Attorney and put me on hold for about 5 minutes.  When she came back she said I needed to call her back before end of day today 6/24/15 and if I didn't I would pay the consequences.

If you talk to "Tina" again, tell her BigA at 800 notes told you this:
This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.  Now why would a “process server” want to do you, a stranger, a favor, and at the same time not get paid to deliver the papers?

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

I received a voicemail message.  I called the #back and said someone from this #(402) called my#.  They checked and said that it was not on their list and was a mistake.
This morning I get another call on the voicemail.

recieved a call yesterday stating I owed 1601.33 to direct lending told them I needed another day to complete this. They just called me and were very adament about sending the money western union. Yesterday they called from nebraska today they called from columbus Oh. telling me their address. Today's phone number was 1-614-407-0839 and their address was 1014 Vine st. Columbus, Oh. 45202. When I asked for the western union account I needed she told me to fill out a form called " I want to pay a bill". once I was there she wanted me to call her back and she would give me the rest of the directions to complete this trans action. She was even nice enough to give me a case # 2015565025.

Same issue as  other complaints told me that I will be charged with fraud

I keep getting calls from this number.  I block them, but then they call using a different number.

I received a call from this number twice, they said I owed money from 2011 but they couldnt provide me the name of the institution or the amount owed. They told me that I should settle it on the phone before it goes into court. I laughed and said that if I owed someone, they would contact me before a third party would. They responded that I should 'govern myself accordingly'. My response was, " I just did". click!.... So watch out for this scammer. I immidiately googled the number and now I'm here.

Excellent. If they call again, let them know you are going to continue to "govern yourself accordingly" by recording their illegal threats and having them prosecuted for attempted extortion and wire fraud.

It works BOTH ways.

Perhaps if they governed themselves accordingly, they wouldn't be out there practicing felony racketeering.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Same bs as everyone else. Caledonia me claiming I owed them over a thousand dollars for a payday loan I supposedly took out in 2012. Started giving me all sorts of old information asking me to confirm that I work here or have an account there. I said honey that information hasnt bee valid in years so either someone has committed identity fraud or you're attempting to. Asked me to dispute the charges or call another number to set up payment arrangements. I told them I dispute the charges and if you're going to put out a warrant for my arrest by all means come and get me. I called the credit bureau and the ftc and put a fraud alert on my name so if they try anything I'll know. Don't have time for this ignorance

Started receiving calls from this number yesterday, today they changed to a new number 402) 817-7824 with the name on the call of Jill Underwood.  They are  trying so hard to get me to call them and then give them my money.  I happen to know that I don't owe anyone any money.  I took out bankruptcy so that wiped it all out.  They now say if I don't call them today, they are filing fraud against me by tomorrow.  I may file fraud against them today.  Looking at contacting my states AG office with a formal complaint.  This is ridiculous, trying to pray on peoples fears and say they will charge you with fraud, which is a lie because all they can do is sue you and get a judgement, nothing more.  They can't charge anyone but themselves with fraud.  don't believe them, it's a SCAM!

There may be more but this is what my research has come up with.

Personally I think:  http://www.republicnationalrecovery.com  is responsible for all this “govern yourself accordingly” garbage.

Now they are saying that if I don't call them back today, they're going to file in the "county", doesn't say which county, theirs or mine.  What losers....thinking that the can scam anyone.  Will not be replying to them.
