630-692-3000

I got a call from "Ms.Knight" today from 630-692-3000. She said that I had a $300 pay day loan, and I have never even taken one out. Said she was from Second Chance financial... first of all I call second chance financial at 800-222-0233 and they said a lot of people have been getting this call; they aren't even in the collections business; they help with credit, not collections. Called the lady back and asked her for everything in writing and she said she would send it, we shall see. Also told her that I had found this post about it being a scam and she said "everyone does that so that they don't have to pay the fees, but you need to take action on this right away before it becomes a legal matter and your wages are affected"

Beware of these people. I am going to report them to the FTC today when I leave work. They will have the last 4 of your social saying they have the rest of it, if they ask you to verify DO NOT. Remember the actual SECOND CHANCE is NOT a collections agency.

Called my job said something about my SS# if it was legit he would call my cell, anyone who knows me knows that number. Another case of ignorant people trying to run a sham

Amen He will!! This is a curse and He will bring it down and give the victory

I just did a street view search of the area. There is a church and a molly maids in that building. That is all. Up the street a bit is a home loan company and an A&W root Beer Place. These people are full of it!

Obviously not THAT good of a job "Jhon" - this is a scam, and you must work for them too.  Reported!

Sure they were.  Say hi to them when you go back to work for them tomorrow.

The same thing , said I had a loan out for two years since 2012 interest. Was at 1500 they will settle for 600 . Ladies name was mary stevens , fake name fake company . Please beware of this rediculous scam . The scary part was they had personal information and they called my HR department of my work . I hope the real mary stevens gets raped by a sasquatch and dies of a staff yeast infection .

I received a call from 630-692-5809 concerning a passed due payday loan. He said his name is Gordon Wright a representative of KIP Second Chance Financial and he asked me to call back at 800-478-5809 Extension 235. He said he had a warrant and against me for worthless checks and some other charges against me. He further said he would bring the warrant to my job or at my home. He further said he would give me until 2 pm to call with a settlement amount. Mr. Wright said when asked who do I owe and to provide documentation and he said Speedy Cash which is untrue. I tried to get as much information as possible. Later, I called the number he given, the person who answered the phone did not give the name of the company nor did she give her name she only asked for the extension number. Mr. Wright says he has already submitted this information to my boss and called his name (granted it was 11 a.m. so he did not wait until 2). He then said I could call him the next day with my banking information. He said my account balance was $949 but I have a settlement amount of $302.30.

You can not be arrested for owing a debt, its a civil matter and not criminal.  This is a extortion scam operations. Print this out and take it to your boss as well.

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.

Total nonsense.  Only judge can issue warrants and they are only issued to duly constituted law enforcement officials.   Debt collectors have no power of arrest and judge DO NOT issue warrants to debt collectors.  If there were charges against you the police would contact you for an interview or possible arrest.  His guy Gordon Wright has nothing.  DO NOT TALKE TO HIM AND DO NOT GIVE HIM OR HIS COMPANY ANY INFORMATION.  ESPECIALLY BANKING INFORMATION.  This is a scam to get your money!

Report him:  See:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

I just got the a call from tht same number they left a voicemail saying they were from second financial it was a lady and they also gave me the 18004795809 number to call back its a scam

You work for these "Second Chance Financial" scammers, don't you.

No way a civil debt would lead to a loss of driving privileges in ANY state.  Nor would charges of check fraud.  Nor would a garnishment judgment cause a suspension of driving privileges.  IT takes the DMV or a judge to limit driving privileges and they don't do  it on the basis of any ordinary civil debt dispute.    

But this is just the sort of threats these Second Change [***] engage in and have been engaging in for a long time.  

You guys won't get away with this nonsense forever;   I would say that anyone associated with this "Second Chance" scam is riding for a fall.

You probably work for these scammers and are trying to "scare" people. If you did lose your driving privileges then maybe you should lay off the booze or pills like all the other morons that live in Indiana. Also, quitting your job is your own fault, no one held a gun to your head and forced you to quit. And one last thing, learn how to grammar properly because you sound like an idiot.

They just called my work line referencing second chance financial. First when I answered it was one person who passed me onto their supervisor who told me I had borrowed in February, which February I don't know, didn't bother to ask. $300 that was now up to $1400 with fees, blah blah blah, but I could settle for $500. I told her I need it in writing and she sad the lender had sent something to my home address and I didn't respond I told her because it was never delivered. I was born in the morning but not this morning.

and the lender was fast cash genie, I have never borrowed from them.

I received a call from this number a few days ago (6-3-14), didn't answer and the person who left the message was a guy named Gordon Wright. He also stated that this was, "regarding a civil judgement charge against my social security number and restricting my driving priledges in my state." Funny thing is...I don't have a drivers license.

Then just now (6-6-14) I received a phone call from a woman stating that I took out a loan from Lending Tree/Fast Cash. She said that Lending Tree has been trying to get a hold of me via phone and mail, but haven't been able to resolve the issue for repayment. She stated that I owed $1,800 and she was going to deduct $1,300 so I can pay the remaining amount of $500. I told her I never took out a loan (which is true), but I did apply for one with Lending Tree, but got declined for the amount I needed and I never received any funds from Lending Tree or any other loan place (which Lending Tree was the only place I applied at). She said that she is only going by the information that was provided to her which was my "Drivers License" number, which she gave me (and it's actually my State ID number), the last four of my bank account number and social security number, as well as my email address, physical address, and IP Address where I first tried to get a loan. I told her I could pay half of the $500, but to give me an hour to buy a prepaid credit card since all I had was cash. She said ok, but I have NO plans on paying for something I never received.

I have already filed a complaint with both the Indiana and Illinois Attorney General, and I will go on to file another complaint since I did get to speak to someone this time. I also emailed Lending Tree to contact me and tell me about their information selling policies and explained to them what had just happened and that I plan on filing a complaint against them for selling my information (if they actually did) and a fraud complaint for falsifying a loan claim.

I'm so tired of all these scammers calling to "collect" on a debt and 80% of the time they don't have the right name and when I tell them that, they have the nerve to call me a liar and how they have all my paperwork in front of them and then hang up on ME!!!

Same number. Same extension. My lady was Mary Stevens!! I called state attny general. Bogus

the same Mr Diaz did the same thing to me ... had ss and old address... said he was collecting for pay day loan... what to do about some stranger having my ss .. OMG I'm freaking out...
