This company by the name State Wide Mediation ADR @ address: 120 Broadway, suite 1 in 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10009 keeps calling stating i owe 600 dollars from Advance Payday Loan. When they called me they knew my full, DOB, address, SS#, etc. They stated if i didnt pay they would send someone to summons me and that person kept calling me stating they'd see me in 1 hour. I was very scared, i spoke to Unike and a Katlin too.
I called the Assistant Manger at the building mentioned above and she stated she did not know a that suite in the 33rd floor no knew this company name and that it was not on her roster. Thats how i knew it was a scam, plus they would not want to mail me a "Validation Notice" until i'd pay, they also wanted my email instead. Its weird how they got all my info though.
Has anyone else gotten calls from this company. Please be careful. Also, they call block.

also they called from 877-445-0779

No, have not. But they keep calling me.

Yessss I just got this phone call today saying the same exact thing!!! Even called my fiancé dad...I don't even have his number!! They knew all of my information. I am really uncomfortable about this situation now!!!

Yup they called me from this number as well

I got a heated message from "Katie Brooks" too, saying that I have been "officially notified" that there are charges against me, did anything ever come from your call since it's been a few months? I do have a couple things in collections so I am a little wigged, I just am worried about them calling my family or work and putting my job in jeopardy. But it seems like a scam.... I just wanted to know if anything came of it for you.

Me too. Im just ignoring their calls now. Its a scam. I called buildings manager where they claim is their address adn was told they did not have any company by that name. Who did you speak to ?

First some guy named Nick and today a different person called. I told them I knew it was a scam and my lawyer would press charges against them for harassment and having my personal information without permission if they called me again. I told them if it was legit then they would be happy to send me the papers to prove I owe money from this "loan" they speak of that was 6 years ago. The guy got really loud with me and I hung up. They are crazy!!!!  I did call the BBB on them too.  Not even a legit business name or address and no web page.

i joined them at there game ant told the i was on the 30 floor with a brief case full of money for them.
They told me i was an idiot and must have noting to do. I also told them that i did not want me credit ruined "so please take all my money". They hung up. The real circus clown down there is Shavana.

Been getting calls from this company stating that we owe for a payday loan.

I have also been called by Statewide Mediation group and they contacted my family member (who I have never given out their phone #). I had loans, however ALL of them were paid in with my Loan Consolidation company with paperwork showing what was settled and how much. This is a SCAM! They said the same to me about owing from a loan in 2012 (which was paid), I told them this and they still proceeded to say I would be served with papers if I didn't give them more money. I almost fell for this but I have been threatened before and no one has ever "served" me with papers, as much as I have been told that. What is funny is they gave me this # of 866-336-9743  and when you call if directly goes to an automated system and then you are transferred to a "manager". The phone number cannot be found when searched either. This "manager" said to me after I told him I paid all of my loans, "these are interest fees". Pretty sure, my loan consolidation company settled with this loan they called me about over a year ago and they are still harrassing me. I asked for a bill to be sent to me and I would pay it and he cut me off by saying they will send an email...It all started sounding really fishy to me. He gave a made up name I'm sure of Anthony Richards, extension 403 and you cannot call an extension when you dial the 866 #. These people need to be stopped and please be aware of these scammers!

This happened to me  just today.  They called my dad in a different state and told him I   had to call (866) 336 9473 immediately or  I'd  be  served  papers  and arrested. Savannah Lewis would not  tell  me which company  I  owed  this  725   to.  She  even  went so far as to lower my payment down to 250 if I gave her my credit card info right away. That's not how you handle legit legal debt collections.  She had all my information including the bank account number supposedly associated with the loan I took out in 2012 except I didn't have that bank account at that time. She even had several previous addresses of mine. She gave a number to a "locater" who demanded that I pay now or he be would be at my house (which was no longer my house). My mother in law made me aware of the fact that it was probably a scam so I looked up the company and find this. I'm so relieved I didn't pay. When I called back to confront Savannah Lewis I was told she was no longer with that office even though I had talked to her 20 minutes before. Ill give them a piece of my mind if they call again, that's if my very angry husband doesn't get to the phone first

I just spoke to a Kaitlyn from statewide ADR mediation group. She said I could not receive a validation letter because the debtor that I supposedly owe is SSM group llc. She got irate and said good luck in court and hung up on me.

PAY ATTENTION !!!

My brother called me on May 2nd and told me some guy named Marcus Brown (private processor) called looking for me and actually told my brother that I was in big trouble. He gave me a case number and a telephone number (1-877-239-5603) to call. Marcus Brown was extremely aggressive and very threatening !! Marcus told me that I had all these charges pressed against me and that he was around the corner from my old job.

I called this number and spoke to Jonathan Lewis (Litigation Manager) at ext 304. He told me I had an outstanding balance from a payday loan was from July 1st, 2011. Jonathan then told me that he knows they intentionally wait till interest and penalties accrue before they threaten you. Jonathan then told me that my balance was $695 when supposedly the loan was $200. Because I was so scared and stressed, I ended up paying $500 on May 2nd and had arranged for them to take the remaining $200 at a later date.

On May 2nd, I went immediately after work to Wells Fargo and had them get my archived statements from that year. I also looked up the FDCPA (fair debtor collection practice act) and this Statewide Mediation company is not in compliance what so ever with how they went about contacting me. I also called my local court house and they said if you are ever being pursued with a summons, any processor will just show up .. they would never notify you !!  

On May 3rd, i called Jonathan back to express how extremely stressed out I was over this whole situation and how they took every last penny I had in my bank. Jonathan ensured me that Marcus Brown was on suspension and may possibly be relieved of his duties ... I don't know how much of that is true !!

Today (May 7th) , I received a phone call from a "no caller id" so I answered it and it was Jonathan Lewis. He apologized for calling on a blocked number as they were experiencing phone issues. I told him that after researching everything, I was deciding not to pay them another penny until they sent me a letter in the mail stating all the information especially since they had gotten a hold of me. I also told them that I was still no matter what going to be seeking legal advice because they again are out of compliance on many things and the threats were not ok !! Jonathan told me he would talk to his "manager" to get my $200 reduced down to $100. I said I would call back later because I was at work ... Not even 5 minutes later, Jonathan calls me back and says that he came down pretty hard on his manager and they said they would accept the $500 I had already paid and drop all my charges. He then told me they would be sending me a payoff letter to my email. When i told him I wanted it mailed, he said its much easier and cheaper for the lady that handles those to just email it.

These people use scare tactics to steal your money, I am currently in the process of reporting them to the police, FTC, FAA, BBB and my state attorney general

PLEASE READ THE FDCPA AND KNOW YOUR RIGHTS !!

The same company. Called me but with a different number 18772395603 saying I owe for a loan from ssm group and they are trying to take me to court for a loan I took out in july of 2013 I never. Took out a loan but they had all my information so is it really. A scam

LOL that just made my day you are handling them the same way that I am...

I just received a call from a very rude Frank Douglas, who could not give me his number. He is a processor,etc. I asked for documents of proof and he said that he was giving me a fair opportunity to contact "STATEWIDE" law firm....before he serves me. He gave me this phone number to contact 877-239-5603. When I called, there was a message but no identification of business name, etc. then it rings once and hangs up. None of us have time for this nonsense!

My mom called me and told me to call 1-866-796-7020. At first she told me they called private and left there number on voicemail. I called them they wanted me to verify my ssn# stupid me I did. Then they ask me abt a $800.00 loan from 7 yrs ago if I don't it will triple.  I never made any $800.00 loan. They say if I didn't pay $50.00 between now and 5 days I was gone be served to go to court. I said I don't have the money. They ask me if a family member can help me. I said no. Like the first time a called the customer Services Rep answered then they transferred me to someone else. The second time a man answered. The third time a different man answered. I called scam he got hostile started arguing with me and said well if u think it's a scam see u in court. Then he hung up in my face. I asked for proof if that's me they talking abt they refused. They said yeah that's u lol. Was this a scam??

They have called and threatened my son numerous times and this started over a year ago! Threatened to send police to his place of employment. What a joke! Scam!!! They're just trying to scare you into giving them money! The more questions you ask the more rude they become. Losers...can't get a real job

I just got a call from 1866-838-9045 saying I owe for a payday loan
