404-965-0007 - is this number from Vandenberg chase & Associates?

Learn to spell Loranda, especially when you are passing judgment on others.

Um what is spelled incorrectly

Everyone seems to have this one under control. I simply note that the FDCPA contains an attorney payment provision along with the penalty provisions. Also, there are state laws that might allow for punitives for such unreasonable behavior. If the company has money, it's probably an attractive suit.

again I ask, what was not spelled correctly

fine humanoid your spelling was fine congratulations,but make yourself scarce as your attack will not be tolerated.btw i deleted it.

I am SO happy to see all these posts!

I live in Arizona, and I just received an email from my dad, who lives in Missouri, saying that he received a "mysterious phone call" from a "Stephen Thompson." This Mr. Thompson is is working with the county in which I live, about "checks with [my] name on them." I freaked! I have no idea what he was talking about.

So I called the number and the operator answered as "Agent" Something. (Nice.) She put me through to Mr. Thompson's voice mail. I said that I was returning his call and that his message to my dad better have been accurate and not a scare tactic.

I, too, took out a payday loan from Ace Cash Express in, I think, 2006. However, that was paid back almost immediately! I am disgusted that this "firm" got my information.

Again, I'm so glad I found this forum, because now I am armed with some information when (if) this Thompson person calls me back.

You also need to file a complaint against them with your AG and the FTC, it's very important you make a detailed report against them.

Loranda, you are having a cranial rectal inversion, maybe actually read what people are saying before passing judgement, ok??

Its a scam when a company is LYING and BREAKING THE LAW by harrassing you and making legal threats when they have NO IDEA what the state laws in your area is, and making unauthorized charges to your card if you are dumb enough to give it to them.

I will pay back my debt to the debtor, which is NOT vandenscum and chaff.

We just got a call from "Agent Stephen Thompson" today, too, asking for my husband about "a very severe matter" relating to "Crystal Lopez" (we don't know any Crystal Lopez) and giving his number as 877-822-2677, X3009 (or something like that). My husband googled and found all these posts, so needless to say, we are NOT returning the call! (And he's never used a pay-day loan in his life - our only debt is cc debt and we pay the bills on time.) (Not judging anyone who has - just pointing out that this place is just plain making stuff up!)

my husband received a call for something about an ace cashing company and they connected me to a real rude gentleman who told him if he didnt pay a warrant would be issued asap and i would be charged with fraud by check i have already made two payments so far how so i get my money back and stop this my husband asked why didnt he every receive a letter or anything the gentleman said he should know because he did this, we dont remmeber anything about this they really suck

got this call this morning, i screen my calls since i get solicitors al lthe time. got this call from Al dent from that company had a deep james earl jones type of vioce, telling me i had to call him back at this number which is differernt form the number i got on the caller Id apparently he was calling from philidelphia, Pa guess this is his work from home job? i did get scared but now that i looked this up i glad to just ignore it. you should always look it up on the net. to find out

I recieved a called from VCA this afternoon. They said it was important that I call them back and they left a number to call back it was 877-822-2677. I called them back and they started in on me immidately. I asked them what the debt was and they refused to tell me. I recieved the same threatening words as everyone else. Then I looked them up on their webpage and noticed that their phone# is out of Atlanta GA, and the phone call I recieved today came from the area code 918 which is out of northeastern Oklahoma. When I did a number search it came up with nothing no listing or number found. I am also going to report them for this. They have also called my parents home phone and thank god my parents are wise enough not to discuss anything with them. In fact when they realized they couldn't get any informatiom from my parents they disconneted the call and have not return or attempt to call them. Anyone know of a good law firm in Oklahoma would be willing to file a law suite against them Thanks

Like alot of you on this post i'm being harrassed but these people as well. They were successful in using their scare tatics on me as well threatening "criminal charges" for ACE payday loan I took out in 2005!! Unfortuntely I let them scare me into making a payment to them. I called last week to ask for a receipt for the payment that I made & was told that thye could not send me anything until the full balance was paid!! This rasied a major re flag in my mind so i begin seeking more information; after being transfered & put on hold several times the lady who got on the phone began giving conflicting information from the now & the orginal phone call I received she was stating that I toom out the loan in 2007 & also stated facts that i knew not to be true!! I confronted her about this & she told me to contact ACE Cash Express for the proper information & i again confronted her asking why I needed to contact ACE if their company was now handling the claim.....DIAL TONE!!!

So I started doing some research on this company & have found several post like this one. (NO SURPRISE!!) I have faxed a Cease & Desist to the Fax number provided on their website; but today received a call from "Agent Thomas" telling me that if I didn't call to make a payment by the end of business today a SECOND charge would be filed against me!!!

What Do I Do Now????

I just got a call from Nikki Harris from Austin, Tx today, Vandenberg Chase & Associates. Do they have an office in Austin, Tx ? They mentioned they were going to press charges, for fraud. They also called a friend of mine and my ex husband's dad.
Said it was about a Fraud Matter in Fort Bend County. I guess I should not call them back and fax a Cease & Desist letter. Please let me know. Thank you.

they can't press charges for fraud as debts are civil matters,not criminal ones.read this whole thread,and you will see this is how they operate.get a DV letter instead.they cannot legally continue to contact you or anyone else until they validate.send the letter certified mail return receipt.

It seems that Firstsource Advantage's tactics include harassing family members and divulging the personal information they've collected about a person. It may be legal for them to do this, but it is also legal to “fart” in an elevator. Some things you just don't do. Firstsource Advantage is monitoring this site. I can tell by some of the comments that they've made. I wonder how they would like if their information was shared? Shall we find out? We shall!
