I have been receiving calls since November 2010 for a Payday loan had not even applied for.  The original calls were from foriegn sounding men who used very American names such as Sam Adams.  Now my family and I are getting calls from these people at "Rosenthal Lavine & Associates"  from the number above.  I've reported this to the Arizona Attorney Generals Office and the FTC.  This is rediculous and I guess I'm going to have to get an attorney to sue them for fraud and defamation of character.

I KNOW YOU ARE FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY !!!! YOU NEED TO READ YOUR COMMENT BEFORE  YOU POST!!!! the worst think you can do..... are you trying to say the worst thing that you can do??/????

I had them call me today. Same thing happened to me a few months ago. The guy actually threatened to come arrest me. I went to the local sherriff's office and they called them on my behalf. They never called back.  What they are doing I'd against the law. I told the lady today from rosenthal that I was turning her name and number into the district attorney and the local police. And she hung up. What's scary is how they are getting the information they have. Someone is not protecting our privacy.

I received a call from them and this "Philip Avery" gave me their correct address: 600 Superior Avenue, Suite 1300, Columbus, Oh. 44144.  I will send them a Debt ValidationLetter and see if they respond. I suspect it is a fake company and the letter will be returned.  We shall see.....

Boohooo.... Lovely Lady... you must be either Stewart, Avery or one of those fake investigators trying to scare us off..... hehehe   Get a life

they have been harasssing me for months..finally this time I told them that I have affidavits to prove that there was no money deposited into my account in a form of a loan, they said I was owing. I told them I had my bank print out all deposits that were ever made and there does not show any deposit from a payday loan. They claim I receieved a loan, which I never did. I'm curious as to how they have my last 4 of my ssn and my bank name and my address. Anyways, as soon as I said the word affidavit, the guy said that I would not be receiving any more calls from his office. The crazy thing is I changed my number they used to call me on a few months ago and they tracked me down again by calling my parents. How crazy is that? I wish I could catch them, have their operation busted up. Idiots!

I've been reicieving phone calls from Rosenthal, Levinie & Associates several times a day. They first got in touch with my mother back in june 2011, I have had several different people call me David Martin, Richard Smith, Tony Marquette and a Lady that i cannot understand her name.... They have all info and i have filed a police report... What bothers me is the keep harrasing me ..... the number is 18772520491 show on call id as Richard Smith,or 800 service

Do not give these people anything!  It is a flat out scam.  They called my mother and I happened to be there.  They left this horrible message so I called them back.  By the time they were done with me I had given them my debit card number.  After I hung up my mom said call and cancel that card.  I did.  They attempted to take money from me and when they couldn't, they called my mom back and started to leave a message again.  She answered and said we have reported this to the police as a scam and they hung up fast!  She called her phone company and the guy she talked to said he'd had 10 calls about these people in 3 days.  Imagine how many people hadn't reported it.  If they call you repeatedly just tell them you've reported them to the police.  They won't call back.  I suspect they will see these posts at some point and will change their names and try again.  Don't believe them for a minute.  I am reporting them to the FTC and any other place that I can find to report them.  We need to get the word out somehow - I wish someone would stop them already.

Interesting - they just called again and  left a voice mail that said that since my payment didn't go through that I could call and they would work out a better payment plan with me.  If I didn't call by tomorrow though they would be forced to release the hold on my account and have me served.  It was a woman this time and she was so very nice.  Seriously they have this down.

I received a call fro this company Rosenthal Levine & Associates, caller David Martin.  they called from 8772520491.  For a payday loan non payment.  They wanted me to make payment arrangements for $500 that had to be paid in 2 weeks or the information would be sent to the county for further processing.  I would have to pay more fees etc etc...same as everyone else is saying here.  I have filed a complaint with the FTC for violation of the FDCPA and encourage everyone else to do the same.  It really appears to be a scam!  I do have a payday loan out that I have been paying on ewvery 2 weeks on payday they automatically take it out of my account.  I asked the payday loan compnay I am with about this and they said it was not them I am current with my loan.  These people are trying to get money from us.  When I asked them the name of the company they were trying to collect for they could not tell me.  When I called again to ask them who they were collecting for they again told me they had sent the request off and would get back to me.  The amount they are requesting from me is $500 much smaller than other people on here, but it is also smaller than my current loan is.  It sounded a bit fishy to me so I reported them.

This "company", and I'm using that term loosely, has been calling about my adult brother, giving out all sorts of information to not only me but my mother-in-law, who isn't related to my brother at all. We can't figure out how that got our numbers. This is definitely a scam. My brother is in the military and at the time he supposedly took out a payday for $1500 he was preparing to leave the country to go to Germany. There is no way he would have been able to get a payday loan at that time. Also, my brother has never needed a payday loan and has never applied for a payday loan. Our family is quite comfortable and we are fortunate enough that we haven't fell on hard times that were bad enough to need a payday loan. Anyway, these people are breaking the law by speaking to me about my brother's personal business.

I get phone calls from these people all the time,how do i stop them?
The FTC are useless, all they can say is deal with it.
FTC Ref No. 30418843
Help !!!!!

They called me today and I never had a payday loan. They are wanting to settle for $500.  Please report this scam to the attorney general. Maybe they will get caught soon. Then another group of losers with try the same thing. Get out and find a job losers!

Oh my god, thank you so much for posting this. I just got a call from these people and they left a message on my answering machine stating something similar to the effect of what they told you. It really scared me. I'm glad I read your post and won't get scammed by these people. Thank you so so much. I was really freaking out about this.

rec. a call at my ex-wifes other ex-husband looking for me.he was asked if he knew me well yes he does very well. but he told them if he did or didnt know me that they could locate me on mthere own. then got a call form my dad saying they called him. and was talking about an old [***] debt and when i go to court id better have a lawyer cause this was trouble. i asked the lady if this was a debt collection agency she said its a firm.but would not discuss any more info on them. she had queations for me to answer. i replied well i called you this time so let me ask you some questions nope wouldnt have it. so i told her if she wanted the debt paid for her to pay it. i also told her i know how the whole skip tracing thing works being that. thats what i do for a living. and politely i told her for her and the rest of her firm to..............firmly pound sand up their [***]........paid in full.and if they call again maybe i will get the lawyer they told my dad i was gonna need...........

these people keep calling me about a loan that i never got.

How do you report these people?  I was getting calls like this a while back and called the police - they said there was NOTHING they could do about it.  It stopped for quite sometime.  Now, this new number is calling.  What I hate is that, they know where I live, they know my full name, date of birth, work phone and home phone...  Previously the callers also had the last 4 of my SSN (at least).

They say that there has been a complaint filed against me in my county... Called me at work and when I asked how do I know who the heck you are, I was transferred to someone else, the man then said something about a payday loan taken out and deposited to my account at some unknown bank in January.  I said I don't bank there and then he said, well this was in January.  I said I have NEVER banked there and he promptly hung up!!!

I'll say this much.  I did utilize a payday loan a couple of times from the same location and once I paid them off and refused to continue business with them, that's when the calls started.  I think that either they sold my information - cause my bank account was tampered with - or they do nothing to protect their client's information!  We all need code names or something to hide from these idiots!

There needs to be a set law as to what kind of information needs to be verified in REAL debt collection or payday loan lawsuits...  I don't know who to report this to...  It scares me that someone like that knows exactly where I live!

HEY! i just got a call  from these people  they are full of [***]! call your local attorney general and do not give them any more money. they are just trying to scare u ! ask  them to give it in writing and turn it in to your attorney general. they can not get a warrent for u with out serving u papers.  i hope these helps.
