877-279-0373

This is the same organization calling from 877-278-3557. Con artist saying they are location services.

I got a call from these Scammers today and so did my daughter stating that I took a payday loan out through a company a "few years" ago. This is a repeated situation with different company names and phone numbers. It is unbelievable that they are relentless. I just block their number.

Received a call telling a third party they would be indicting me.

I received a call today from them. It went to my voice mail.  I called and no one answered. I left my name and number.  Now that I'm reading all the remarks I'm not going to be bothered with these people. They really need to do something about this.

You have to report these issues. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Company#crnt

recorded message saying they are seeking the whereabouts of another person. they also use this number 1-877-279-2895 they have called the last 3 business days

They have called my husband's phone blocking their number from his caller id, but leaving a voice mail looking for me.  I have no outstanding pay day loans.

When I clicked on the link you provided, it is asking for a business name and address in which I don't have. Any thoughts?

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

From the above web link:
Also known as World Wide Processing Group LLC and they are located at 5817 South Park Ave, Hamburg NY 14075 and have a PO Box 2474 Blasdell NY 14219. The owners name is Frank Ungaro and the Director of Operations is Nick Curtis.

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.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

They called me yesterday being rude talking about a payday loan I've been disabled for years how in the hell I got a pay day loan in 2015 sad mfers

Awesome post thanks so much for the info scare tactics should be against the law for these collectors

Umm, well you are welcome, but on the other hand, they are against the law.

That's kind of why I have a habit of "cutting through the fog" sometimes BigA.
