Me too!

Ya me too

Susan,
They first left a message that my bank had a return check and within 24 hours they begin legal action. I finally spoke with Miss Simone Williams regarding a $24.31 check dated Nov 17,1995 !   They had an incorrect spelling of my bank (of that time), and my first name, and  wrong residence address. They will "settle" for $110.00 for reduced collection of $194.31 They are now sending it to their legal office!
Any of this sound familiar?

Hi Susan ... Data Check is how they ID that number.   Extremely abrupt people: "pay us or incur additional legal fees" …. $70 NSF fees +$100 collection fee =$194.31 demanded ... will close the collection for payment of $110.
Beware of them!

This number keeps calling my phone and refuses to tell me what company they are from

They've done the same to me. They've called, called and called by cell and my landline. They've left that same message that they'll start action within 24 business hours, yet it's been over a week and they've done nothing! When you call them, they told me I had a bounced check from Winn Dixie from 1997. They demanded payment with my debit/card and refused to give the name of their company. I told them I've filed bankruptcy since then and they then threatened me with wage garnishment saying 'I'm being recorded', etc. I hung up then. They're a SCAM!

Report them to your state attorney general's office.  They are making ILLEGAL threats.  Had you bounced a check, your bank would have told you years ago!  (What is the statute of limitations in your state?)
Wage garnishment comes by court order.  The last thing a bottom feeder wants is to have their information  made public.

Thanks MJG! I'm calling the Alabama Attorney General's office now!!

This # 678-528-0047 has being traced to an IP address: 162.23.11.## it a pbx system with out going fake / displayed ph #, found listed on system 6262801582 .

MJG:

I called the Alabama Attorney General's office and they said there was nothing they could from their end but to call the Federal Trade Commision. I called the FTC and they directed me to the CFPB, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I filed a complaint with them and given them the information I had. Hopefully they can stop these people from scamming innocent people out of their hard-earned money. Take care and God bless..

This number calls my home daily and each time there is a recording stating a returned check and wages would be garnished im 24 hours. I press 1 to speak to someone every time and usually get a very mumbled voice that says the name of a company I can't ever understand. They tell me to wait as they access my account. I usually tell them to stop calling and hang up.

So how does calling back or answering unknown calls do you any good?   Block them, don't call unknowns back is a good rule of thumb.    Why?  You should NOT call back unknown names/numbers, that is one way scammers know they have reached a working line that is attached to a live person who is curious enough to call back unknown numbers.  That info is shared and you end up with more calls.  Be Smart , Be Safe!

I receive usually one phone call a day from this number.  No one is on the other end and when I call back, I get a message that a voice mailbox is full.

I finally called back &  got a human today and they are threatening to garnish my husbands wages over an alleged check that they will give no information about. My husband is a retired Air Force veteran of 20 years and has nothing outstanding at all, or he would not have been allowed to separate from the military. Aside from the fact that we are not crooks! How do I get these people to stop calling me? Better yet, how did they even get my number & not my husband's??

They first left a message that my bank had a return check and within 24 hours they begin legal action. We finally spoke with someone last night.  He stated that is was a returned check for Winn-Dixie from 1997.  Get real people!!!  Once we told them No, that we weren't going to agree to pay them, he would no longer talk to us stating it would be turned over for garnishment.  Today they have called twice so far with the same robot message as before.  These people need to get a life!

Thank you for the information Big Lee!  They have been calling my cell and landline for 2 weeks up to 10 times per day!  Same stories as above.  I am going to contact the CFPB in hopes that the more complaints they receive, they can stop these idiots from irritating the crap out of all of us over false accusations!

They told me the same thing about a check from 1995 to Winn Dixie. I think someone has gotten a hold of cancelled checks from Winn Dixie. This is pure bullsh*t.

There are many others reporting the exact same thing from different phone numbers including 559-573-8780 and 205-327-1144.  I have received a daily phone call from different phone numbers about a returned check. I called back at 866-218-3402 and spoke to someone who provided me with my husbands name, our address from 12 years ago and the full bank account number. They said there were two checks from 2003 and like many others one from Me N Eds. I called Me N Eds corporate and they said they forgave anything older than five years ago. We don't have any unpaid checks. I told them I wouldn't be paying, they missed the statute of limitations if there was a bad check which I know there isn't. They hung up on me. Obviously a scam but somehow they have copies of old checks. A question to others: were these supposed checks written on a Bank of America account?

This is a criminal organization that has set up shop in Nevada.  We believe they were originally this company.

517 Windcliff Dr is the business location and is a condo or townhouse that might be up for sale.

Since the corporation has dissolved and since they are not registered anywhere else, they are not legally allowed to do business.
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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
