404-937-3579

Stated they were Arbitrary Services of Fulton County, stated charges were to be filed on a payday loan from 2007.  Would not provide amount owed, original balance or a validation of debt.  Said his name was David Elgin.  No such company exists.

Received the same call except they're calling from 404-937-3578. It also comes up private name or Nextiva Inc

I received a call from 404-937-3574. When I told them I had paid the loan they told me that they were contacting me about NSF check fees, court and attorney fees. I asked for paperwork stating what they were going after me for and then they said I would only get paperwork once I was arrested and went before a judge. I looked up the company and didn't find anything on the name (Arbitrary Services division) or the phone number. If it isn't a scam guess I'll be taking a ride downtown.

You won't be taking any ride because of these callers. You were contacted by one of the members of a very large nest of scurrilous vipers working out of the Atlanta area. We deal with them all the time. They're nothing. Their lives revolve around dreams of money while dodging & weaving. About 2 times a year one of the head cockroaches gets a little sloppy & encounters some people that shut down his/her operation & seize all their assets. It's been happening with more frequency lately.
These people will usually call from 404 or 678 area codes. They are not very bright. They depend on being mobile more than their intelligence. They do NOT have legitimate tile to ANY legitimate debt. They are low budget Junk Debt Buyers (JDBs). Their portfolios will consist of uncollectable Pay Day loans with the occasional 10-20 year old revolving credit accounts thrown in. A group running out of the Charlotte area is suspected of being closely associated with one or more of these fraud shops. Vermin have the habit of interbreeding.
These frauds all have one thing in common. They're all talk & NOTHING else. They can be a nuisance, they're tough (but not impossible) to track down. They are fond of making threats of arrest. Ironic isn't it? The only thing they fear more than scamming no money is law enforcement. For years they ran their games with little concern for the law. That has changed. Atlanta is no longer a safe place to blatantly scam. The last couple of years has proven that. More is to come. I should know. These scammers are playing in my "back-yard". A couple of these outfits have discovered that it might not be a good idea to play in my "back-yard". Sometimes, I just don't play nice....
It sounds like you know what to be aware of. You asked for that paperwork & recognized that your caller was a scammer. Some folks aren't as savvy. To them I say, know your rights under the FDCPA. Info. can be found at the FTC website.
Be Safe. Be Aware.
Trevlig Helg!

Good to know, they just called from 404-937-3578. Didnt leave a message but u could hear someone talking and hung up. I've been scammed before not gonna be again. Dont even say where they're calling from, woman says her name and number to call back, something about allegations against me. That was the first vm they left

I jus got called by this number 404-937-3574. They said i was being pursued by Aaorons Sales an Lease for failurevto return a PS3. I informed them it was payed off. I was then told i had two choices. Go to jail an wait to go before a judge to prove it was payed for. Or pay a disclosed amount by the end of the day to dismiss everything. Told me my drivers liscence would be suspended. An that they can take my va pension. What do i do to find out if this is legit or a scam. They told me how much my bond would be an when the soonest i would go before a judge. Someone help....not trying to be in jail for christmas.

It's a SCAM. You stated that the debt is paid.
You cannot be arrested for a debt. It's a civil matter, not a criminal matter.
Your license will NOT be suspended. Debt collectors have no such authority and have absolutely no influence on the court system.
Go to ftc.gov and read the FDCPA and learn your rights.

Hello All, I couldn't catch a company name, but they called from 404-937-3578 and told me I owed a 2008 pay day loan from Ace Cash Express. She told me they have me on video taking the loan and since the money comes from the federal goverment, I am going to jail. To give her credit, she was very pleasant to me, goes by the name of Mellisa Hernes. Anyway, I explained that the Amy they are looking for in in Florida, not MN and is not me. I provided her names and phone numbers to the fraud and legal departments of ACE where she could confirm this defaulted loan was not on my SSN. She put me on hold for 28 minutes to check with her Administrator. I called on another line and was disconneted, twice. I called back again and spoke to her. She said she was going to sign off and send it to the Administrator and that most likely I will have to go to court. Oh well, I have ACE confirming it was not my SSN and this company has a video of me, thank goodness! Pretty sure that person is not going to look like me. Let's hope that is the end of it, but for some reason, I think it will come around again. This is the 4th time I have been contacted about this in the last 3 years.

Oops, forgot to mention she specified Ace Store# 173. I called my local Ace store and there is no store 173. Then I googled American Cash Express Store 173 and guess what came up. Serveral ACE Cash Express and other pay day loan stores in......Miami- section 173 of the county. Interesting......

I received a same message saying the same thing but this number was 404-382-7255

I just received a call from an Erin Jordan from Arbitrary Services stating that I owed a payday loan from 2008. Was connected to a Paul Delgado State ID# 2259 saying I was being charged with 2 felony counts, one was Malicious Intent and the other was Theft by Deception. Of course I freaked out because I have NEVER in my life been in trouble much less been to jail. He said if I didn't pay $1001.00 my license would be suspended at midnight and the police would be dispatched to pick me up........PLEASE tell me this is a scam??

The number was 404-937-3570

Ha ha ha!  I got a call from them too a few minutes ago!

Full of crap!!!  Rude butt wipes!

Read the other notes.  Total and absolute scam.  Sometimes they call themselves Arbitrary Services Division, a really stupid name.  This Delgado name has appeared in other similar scams.  Only the public prosecutor can file criminal charges.  Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime .  Ignore them and block their calls.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  DIME  until the debt is validated.

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.

If they are bothering you,

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING AND DO NOT AGREE TO PAY THEM ANYTHING.

I received a phone call from this company saying that my sister, who is autistic, wrote a bad check to a company and they are seeking payment or a warrant for my sister's arrest will be sent that day. My sister doesn't even have a checking account. When I asked the lady the name of the company she would not give me the name. The address she had for my sister was completely incorrect. I told them that they were not going to arrest my sister and that they could send the warrant to the address that they have listed. Maybe they could arrest the person using my sister's information. It was extremely scary to me but after reading this I'm confident that my family and I are doing the right thing. They hung up on me once I started using words that were not appropriate. Now they won't answer when I call back.

I just received a call from them!! They called all of my family first. The phone number was 404-937-3542. The lady's name was Diana Howardson but the director was Paul Madison badge number 2259. The address they gave me was 136 Pryor st., Atlanta 30303. I contacted my state's Attorney General' s office. He state d that they were scams.

I got a call today from 404-902-6303. A lady names Laura Stevens. I called the loan place and checked it out. It is a scam.

Oh and she said that my licence would be suspended and felony warrants, I found out from the quick cash place that the things she was saying were going to happen were not even legal for a loan place to do. I called back and asked what was the name of the financial place taking me to court and she didn't know, This is something that she would know she just referred to them as a corporate company.

Didn't leave a message.  I would have told them that I'd pay them if their Momma did something for me. Something warm and slurpy.

I just got a call from this Laura steven claiming to be an officer of the court contacting me in regards to 3 felony counts malicious intent to defraud check fraud told me my license would be suspended at midnight if I didn't pay them $1900 then said that she spoke to the company because I'm a disabled veteran and got it knocked down to 999 dollars in 13 cents this absolutely and enrages me as a disabled veteran to have to deal with lowlifes like this disgust me but luckily I'm smart enough to check this company out I now have the sheriff's department on the way out and I will be filing extortion charges against them.ps2 anybody out there who says pay your bills and don't rant about it on this forum must be one of the Vipers trying to justify their existence because this is the only way we can protect ourselves from people like this
