Pretrial processing

Maybe they like seeing their chosen ID name up there.
Unless they're a fan of "Archer", I as well as many others don't care to see those four letters arranged as such.

Got numerous calls from Pretrial Processing stating that I owe over a thousand dollars for an online loan. Note I have never taken out an online loan,  all information that they have  is over 10 years old, my phone number has never changed. I ask for something in writing and I am asked what do I need it to say. I'm sorry if you owe money than you will be notified by phone and mail with the name of who you owe, the amount, and details. I'm then asked why she should waste her time to do that. Mind you all information over 10 yrs old except phone and email. So I asked to not get any more calls because I have been warned and to go ahead and do what they must do because I am anxious to see the outcome.  Well guess what? They keep calling, I pray that no one takes this Scam seriously. If this was legit you would not have to beg for documentation they would do everything to send you the information to satisfy your debt BE AWARE!!

Pretrial processing has been calling me since September. They are a scam. I know because they tell me I owe for a payday loan in 2012. They said they're taking me to court, that they've already notified my boss that I will soon be garnished . So, how do I know it's a scam? Well, first, I have been a stay at home mom for 30 years. So, no boss to talk to. Second, I only moved to Texas two weeks before I got that phone number, prior to that I lived in Arkansas for 40 something years. Payday lenders were forced out of Arkansas years ago, there are none in the state, and there weren't any in 2012 when I supposedly went to one.

This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, etc. all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.
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 receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Pretrial processor called my son saying that his father is being taken to court and sued. Wouldn't give info about the company suing. Son gave no info but called me right away. We have our license updated worked at same place for 8 years and phone number same for last years. When I called I was hung up on twice then third time foreign voice says pretrial processor....really?? 8022760709 is number

Sometimes I just have to laugh out loud at some of these posts.... And isn't it a bit strange that after 3 pages of posts and rants, Denise has never replied???

he he he maybe "barrow" as in Elizabeth Barrow Browning?

That just shows how good of a beatdown was done on that little shill by the cognoscenti of this site.

please explain what you are talking about? Nobody here can help you with your problem if we cannot even understand what the problem is. Please try again and perhaps someone will have an answer for you.

That's what's so bad about these lowlifes.  They not only call you, but they call anybody they can find who might be related to you somehow in order to get information out of them.  And while you might be careful about not giving them any information, someone else may not be.  Especially if the scammers convince them that they're just trying to help you not go to jail for some old debt, etc.

And big hugs to you cute kitty!!! Many of us have cats and even our pets are disgusted by the phone ringing at odd hours or waking them up. Scammers harass us and our pets every day.

Denise or Dennis has multiple personalities. Probably posting up a storm under various names. Typical troll.

My husband got a call from " pretrial assessments".  They said he owed a payday loan from 2009 for "around" $500 to $600,  but could not give am exact amount.   They gave him and address from 10 yes ago and they even gave him the last 4 digits  of his SS#  I have never known a company to give you, your own last 4 digits of the social.  They also told him if he didn't pay they would proceed with sending documents for legal action and he would have to go to court.  He told go ahead and do what they have to because he did not owe a loan.
Anyway I called them back and went into attack mode.  She  couldn't give me a company name.   She said they were in a remote location , so no address.  The base company was in Miami, still no address. She said they had 4 or 5 different phone numbers they call from.  I was extremely aggressive and kept firing off questions. I could hear the nervousness in her voice and when she couldn't handle it anymore she hung up on me.  But it was ok for them to get aggressive with my husband and he was suppose to take it.
So report scammers.  My parents get calls all of the time for different scams. Even though you figure them out from the beginning, one of your loved ones might be next on the list.

There seem to be a burst of these.  There have been several  mass-info breaches in the last year or so (Target, Home Depot, Anthem, etc) and they typically give you a 1-2 year "credit monitoring".  But this is not the first report here where someone had, not recent information, but rather old information.  I think what may have happened is a cache of identify theft information is making the rounds again through scamming organizations like this.  The information may be too stale to do a decent theft of identify, but good enough for these types of scammers.

Alternative theory is that since the scammers know nearly everyone in the recent breaches has their credit monitored, the credit cards lists scammers have acquired are virtually useless due to mass replacements (black market price for credit cards has really gone down), they are doing these types of scams with the stolen information as the next best thing.

Always be vigilant.  Just because some company is giving you 1-2 years of credit monitoring after a breach, doesn't mean scammers won't try to take some advantage of it now, or advantage of it once the monitoring has expired.
