Well I was at work and evryone knows how the loans places say "were going to send the cops to your house work etc. Well last week someone told me that and in the following week I see two cops coming in my place where I work I about fainted, whooo you all just dont know how real that felt that moment! I know you cant go to jail for debt as well as a loan but it scared me. They were coming because my boss recieved three threating calls she says from an indian he said he was going to blow this place up. I though to my self mabey it was for me but yet the receptionist said they asked for her by name, Odd huh?

I can understand that this scared you, don't let paranoia get the best of you Tasha. The police aren't coming to get you. Very Happy

Unless you've committed a criminal act, no one is ever going to arrest you because you are in debt. If you could arrest someone for being in debt, there would be about 250 million of us in jail.

That would scare me to, when they called and told me that I kept walking past the receptionists desk looking out the window, planning how I was going to slip out...LOL. I almost didn't go to work the next day..thank God for this site.

Wow, Tasha, I can just imagine how you must have felt. I really hope that wasn't one of their new scare tactics - if they were illegal before, they're REALLY illegal by doing that!

Tasha, I can relate to you. At first I belived their threats also. I would see the police on my street and just about freak out. The sad thing was I didnt owe them they owed me. Never again will I ever put my self in that kind of situation. KYSIDE38

I will never forget the very first threat I received. It was from the famous Ellis Crosby and the womans name was Jennifer. She stated that my husband had been arrested and that I had til 5pm to pay $849.00 to get him out of jail. I was so scared I called my mom and she told me to call the sheriffs department and report them. I did and the officer who responded stated that he had not been arrested! Your heart just about stops and it is definately the worst feeling in the world.

You guys, that's never happened to me, but I can just imagine how scared you must have been! Shame on these places for scaring you like that. I can't wait till our AG's close all of them down!

I had one a very long time ago that threatened to whip my butt.....told him the only two things stopping your punk act is the distance between us & your own fear.

*chuckle*

I have never been threatened like that (except that I would be sued). I won't get into verbal arguments with any collectors, cause I am the one who ends up PAYING for it emotionally.

note the phrase "very long time ago" in my earlier post.

Whoa, Tasha!
Remember, defaulting on a PDL in California is NOT criminal. So if they give you that crap again, say "Hey I need a vacation, come and get me!!" Throw it back at them!!

Seeing Tasha's thread reminded me of a dream that I had a few months prior me joining this wonderful board. I had dreamed that the payday loan I was paying off would not let me make my last payment because they kept trying to give me money. They were persistent trying to put the check in my hand making me get the loan. Then the police were coming in and taking me away with the check in my hand and I was screaming and crying for help as the wicked ones (PDL) was looking on saying "Pay you debt. Pay your debt"

Just one of the weirdest dreams I have ever had in my life. It scared the crap out of me.
