773-382-8234

This is Checksmart DBA Easy Money among other payday loan business names. Sick of their calls-they've been served with Bankruptcy filings and contacted by my attorney, yet they persist. I smell an easy FDCPA settlement coming my way :D

Checksmart calls me 5-6 times a day. I have never ever had business with this company. Here are their some of their other numbers (I will add more when I know of them):
614-210-2966
614-760-4001
614-760-2186
773-382-8234
866-354-0567
916-446-2058
205-536-7399
916-440-1294
614-760-4183
866-354-0597
Go ahead and block or report these numbers. The do-not-call directory is ineffective because it does not cover debt collectors.

Checksmart, a scam company.

They also call from 614-445-6669 (in addition to the other numbers listed above).

They also call from 480-968-4240 (in addition to the other numbers listed above).

I am receiving unwanted solicited calls from this number, +1 (773) 382-8234.

This is not the person that they are looking for

Calls multiple times per day to my business but there is never a person on the other line. SO ANNOYING!!!!!!

Wrong number call looking for Antonia Something. Wouldn't believe I wasn't Antonia

Just got a call from them. Really doubt they expect to get someone at 9:30am on a Sunday morning.  I do have a loan with them and was just at the store last night to iron out details.  The store usually calls me directly.

called me six times TODAY

I had a cash advance loan with them , went in to the store to pay it off with cash , got my receipt thinking it was all good . Today my brother calls me telling me that they are calling him to try and get ahold of me ! My privacy totally breached ..., I will never use this company ever again or refer anyone to use them . Third rate company especially the corporate office people to whom got a ear full today from me after pulling this breach of my privacy today . Do not ever use this company !!!!!

They Keep calling I never done business with check smart or payday loans

I received a call from (773) 382-8836 today from Checksmart.  The Agency I work for had never done business with them, we have never tired to cash a check, get a payday loan, or pawn one of our vehicle titles for cash.

Received a call 12 May 2016 @ 8:40 AM.  Answered, silence on the other end.

A$$holes keep calling for Ariana Starks! Keep telling them no such person at this number!  We have no rights! I have repeatedly told them my name and asked for them to stop calling, the national no call registry is a joke, and if I threaten them then I get in trouble.  Contacted a lawyer but can't do anything because there is not an individual to go after, they call illegally from a basement in a home so no ties to the company.  If anyone has any other suggestions that work please tell us, I am getting tired of 6am phone calls for the [***] Ariana Starks that committed fraud and gave my number.

"We have no rights! I have repeatedly told them my name and asked for them to stop calling, the national no call registry is a joke, and if I threaten them then I get in trouble."  Well you have lots of rights.  The DNC does not cover debt collectors.  It was never designed to do that because first they are not selling anything over the telephone (telemarketing) and second DC's have their own special law called the FDCPA, and in this case you would probably have a TCPA cause of action as well.  "Contacted a lawyer but can't do anything because there is not an individual to go after,"  I guess you need a new lawyer because you could certainly sue the company.  It is always best to research before going off on a tangent.

Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt  cease and desist calling or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

I am in a similar situation. I am reading that they operate as a "third person" operator so they don't fall under the FDCA laws? Is this true? They call 5-6 times a day from different numbers every time 😡

Where did you read that ? Anyone attempting to collect a debt is covered by those laws.
There are sections of the law for the original creditor, and sections for any other business that now claims the right to collect that debt.
