404-935-9490

Same here in Washington State....I called all 4 #'s they have called from and 2 said they were Head investigators of that dept.  Thanks for the heads up everyone....some people!

These frigging losers have been sued 4 times this year! They still don't/can't get the point! WTF is wrong with them? I can tell you it's probably because even though they've been sued; there are no consequences other than losing some money to make them stop. There needs to be something put in place that puts these [***] out of business after they are sued.
I think everyone who reads this post should call a lawyer and SUE THEIR A**ES! I just did. Someone's got to start paying attention that these jerks are still in business and shouldn't be. It's disgusting. They are trying to collect on a debt I have already paid. DUH! I really want to know where the heck they got the info from. Whoever gave/sold it to them needs to pay too!
By the way, a lot of lawyers will take these kinds of cases for no upfront fee or retainer because the "collection agency" is responsible for your attorney fees when/if you win. That's just added incentive to do it, if you ask me! You can get up to $1,000 from them and the satisfaction of never having to hear their voices again. What else could be so wonderful?

I got a computer msg on Sat saying i was under investigation for tax fraud by DTA left 2 numbers to call back within 24 hrs 404-935-9487 & 404-935-9490 The caller ID came up as 404-946-4035 I will not be returning their call If I was under investigation it would be by the IRS not the DTA. I am thinking of contacting the IRS though. If it was legit i would thinik it would be an aduit not tax fraud since we dont make much money and I would expect a certified letter not a computer ph call.

I keep receiving these calls as well. I have learned how to do my research about these kind of people. I have received numerous calls from like idk 5 different "agencies" saying that they will arrest for my unpaid cash advances. However, they would not give me any information until I kept yelling at them and cursing at them. They had me so irate and one time they even told me that they would take my kids from me because I was "doing illegal things"! I work for the state! You think I will be even TRYING TO DO ILLEGAL THINGS!? I bust out crying at work but after doing my research on these fake agents, I hired an attorney. Now all of a sudden, all there numbers are disconnected. Now I get these calls from "DTA AND ALLIED DATE CORP"...but when I do my research on them, same stuff. SCAMMERS HOW BOUT YOU GET A REAL JOB AND STOP TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GET UP OFF THEIR BUTTS AND WORK FOR A LIVING!! IF I EVER RAN INTO YOU OR SEE YOU IN ACTUAL COURT FOR THE DAMAGES YOU HAVE CAUSED ME YOU BETTER BELIEVE YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN! DON'T YOU EVER THREATEN TO TAKE AWAY MY BABIES BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT A REAL JOB!

Congratulations on taking that step to get these [***] sued! I also did, see above post. These dirtbags need to be stopped pronto! I have also started receiving new phone calls from another "agency". I have paid all my debts so I know this is all bull. I guess I'll have to just keep researching each one and suing their butts until they all know my name and stop messing with me! But, since they are all pretty much as dumb as a bag of freaking hammers, I'm sure they'll keep trying. They've never received a dime from me so I don't understand why they keep trying.  It's been going on since January 2011, random idiots calling about the same "debt". I think they all just sit at the crack house and decide who's going to be the one to try to make the money to fuel their habits in between hits off the pipe. It's got to be a "crime ring", and not a very successful one at that. Apparently, DTA was sued by someone earlier this year and they have to make payments on the judgement. Imagine not having enough to pay someone $1,000? Any real business would have that kind of money laying around. DUH!
Oh, and please, leave a piece of them for me if you run into them! HAHAHA!

I asked them to send paperwork with detailed information so that I could have my lawyer review it. They never sent it but they keep calling me. I told them that unless they provide me with written documentation so that I can have my lawyer look into it, then we have nothing to discuss. They have to provide you with written documentation!

Ok well obviously you dont understand how this works. These people trying to collect this debt have stolen your info off your bankruptcy and have no affiliation with the actual payday loan company. All you are paying is a criminal so if you wanna pay the crooks than you go ahead. Me I'm not a dumbass.

They continue to call me at work and call the HR Dept. Where I work.  I feel so violated!

Making threatening calls from 9am to 8:55pm Monday - Saturday on my cell and job

recieved 2nd phone call from dta - don't know how they got my work number or what they want - sorry is aggrevating

This dude named "David calls , threatens to have me locked up, garnished, for something I know nothing about

No more calls, please!

have just recieved a call from DTA accusing my mother who is 82, of check fraud. From 2008. They are now useing phone number 404 973 2105 from Alanta, Ga.  It's all a scamm!!!!

This is not exactly correct.  If a creditor is trying to collect on a debt that was discharged in a bankruptcy, that is a discharge violation.  You may have a claim against the creditor and should talk to your attorney about that.  It's important to list all your creditors but collection agencies sell and transfer accounts often.    Often debt collectors will buy discharged debt hoping you will pay something toward them even though you are not supposed to.  Beware.

I had gotten a call from dta investigations sayin g i owe over a 1500$ to a ace cash i tlold the man i dnt recall ever doing this.... He said u did gave me a date i did this on i was so finacialy set it would of been a idiot to do this.then dta tells me i need 4 payment of a 500 and he needed credit card number today or he was closing the case...i told him well i dnt know what to tell u i dnt have it    and dnt havea card to put on file so just close it the man then said what is wrong with u just a moment ago u wanted to settle this i look at ur record u nvr done this befor so lets get this sttle so u dont  get jail time i told   him ill call him back what should i do..........

I received several calls from this number, and others which I will list, (after I told them they had the wrong number and not to call again) They asked if I was my brother's name, I just said NO, I am not that person, please take my name off your list. Then within minutes I got other calls from other numbers. The guy called himself "Investigator such and such" (sorry, I don't remember the name, I was just annoyed that they kept calling) The other numbers are: 404-973-2109,  404-935-9107,  and the original, 404-935-9490. I apparently missed one from 404-946-4039 as well. I have never gotten a payday loan, on line or otherwise. I thought my brother had given my number as a reference for one, but he did not know anything about it. He sent me this website saying they were illegal scammers. They called themselves BTA Investigations, and in the initial recording they left on my cell phone, they said something to the effect that "as of Sept no charges have been filed yet......" and threatening to press charges, etc. I gave them my name, when they asked, initially, now I regret that I gave that! If I get another call I will report to TX AG. BTW the calls are coming from Georgia.

dta called my cell phone and said my son was going to be arrested for check fraud. my son is in drug rehab and had taken out a loan prior to coming home to get help.was not sure if it was legit so had to call my son in rehab to verify. he said he wasn't sure but he only took out one loan and we had paid that loan off. my son was put on three way call in rehab with myself and dta and the guy was so convincing that i was ready to pay to keep him out of jail, luckily i read this sight and after reading post when guy called  back i told him that if it was legit than when my son got out of rehab he could have him arrested and i would pay an attorney rather than a scam company haven't heard from them since. makes me mad that after all our family has been through that "scum" like this prey on people. should be against law!!!!!

I received as message as follows: "This recording is to serve notification that you are currently being investigated for check fraud by the criminal investigations division of DTA.  To speak with an agent, please press 1.  If you are receiving this recording via voice mail you have 24 hours for you and/or your attorney to return this call at (404) 935-9487 or (404) 935-9490."  This is a SCAM.  DTA is an alias for Dorsey, Thornton & Associates, a collection agency.  I don't know how they got my number, but my best advice for anyone receiving a call like this is to report it as a scam and to ignore it.

Also received phone calls from the number 404-946-4039.

Dorsey Thornton & Associates in $15M settlement

Atlanta Business Chronicle

The Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection said it investigated a series of reports from consumers that Dorsey Thornton & Associates harassed and deceived consumers in several ways:

Debt collection agency Dorsey Thornton & Associates LLC and its principal officers Wyteria Dorsey and Michael Thornton agreed to a $15.5 million settlement with the Georgia Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection after an investigation into alleged harassment and deception of consumers.

The Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection said it investigated a series of reports from consumers that the debt collector harassed and deceived consumers in several ways:

Threatening consumers with arrest or imprisonment if they did not pay the debt.
Refusing to send consumers written proof of the debt owed.

Identifying themselves as investigators rather than disclosing they were debt collectors attempting to collect a debt.

Contacting third parties and divulging information about the debtor’s account.

Calling consumers before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.

Continuing to contact consumers even after they told the company to stop calling them.

Following the investigation, Dorsey Thornton & Associates denied the allegations but agreed to forego collection of 31,433 accounts, representing a total of $15.5 million in consumer debt. It also will pay an undisclosed civil penalty and reimburse OCP for investigative and legal expenses.
