Have recieved several calls, no message, from the following phone number, as recorded on CallerID.
No name - Shows Unavailable
Number displayed - 847-281-3020

All calls recieved lately have been 2x a day, for several days, no message. Then again, answering machine not hooked up yet. Had answering machine off so I could answer any job related calls.

BTW: Start new, full time job on Jan 2!! Slightly better pay and MUCH better benefits package!

Anyway, information on above number is appreciated. Searches I have tried have all come up empty....
Thanks,

Hi Keith

Welcome to the forums.

Since 847 is the code of Northern Chicago suburbs, I searched and found it out to be arrow financial services.

Arrow Financial Services LLC
5996 W. Touhy Avenue
Niles, IL 6071
Phone: (800) 279-0224

Call them and know the purpose of their call.

Thanks for the info.
Calling them is going to be easier said than done.
Dropped long distance phone service after they decided they had to start charging me for it, without warning me, and without my authorization!

Besides, I'm not willoing to talk to those people.
I was screwed by them real bad a while back. Filed falsified claim, without providing any legitimate proof. Long before I knew about this site!!
Have papers from then, showing how much money they stole, and how much they were gonna attempt to steal!
Still want to see if I can take legal actions to recover the stolen money.

Have 2 letters just about ready to go.
One regarding the incorrect name, the other, interestingly, to Arrow Financial, a Validation letter, in reply to the last letter I got from them, dated Nov 23.
Gonna be sending those out by Friday!

Hi Keith

You can hire an attorney and make a claim for refund with all your proof.

Besides, writing letter is always the best and valid mode of communication. You gather enough evidence to prove your part of the story.

Send all your letters through certified mail with return receipt requested. This will help!

Keep in touch

Two letters sent, both CM-RRR. Just a matter of waiting now. When I mailed them out today, I was told about 4 days delivery time. I'm not expecting to hear anything of any sort until after the first of the year.
Again, one letter for an incorrect name, the other requesting validation.

As for filing for a refund, what would be the best way to go about that?? There are several things I can do, with the amount of money I'm owed!

Anyway......Probably my last update for a while. Util I hear back regarding either of the 2 letters sent. If I even hear back.

Happy Holidays everyone!

While you are filing for a refund, talk to your bank regarding this matter. They will verify each of the debits with the company. The company has to give a proper explanation of each of the debits being made. If they fail to give the required info, you will have the money credited back to your account.

Do keep us updated on this matter. We will like to hear from you. Enjoy the coming holidays. Do not spoil them thinking about the present. Take care

Tried to, but unable to post last night.

Problem is, the payments being taken were NOT electronic.
All I got was a signed piece of paper with my weekly paycheck, stating how much money was being stolen.

They never bothered to provide notice either. I found out from secratery were I used to work that a garnishment had been filed. I never recieved anything regarding it. Which should have been 20 days, before employer recieves notice??

The only thing that kept them from stealing anymore than the $1400 they did get, was me walking off the job, for workplace harassment reasons.

Interesting in that they were attempting to steal $2,275 +/- of an $1800 balance. Absolutely no contact by them, before taking illegal?? actions. Have the paperwork they sent, plus slips showing amount stolen. Have nothing more, as I never received anything more.

That's one reason why I'm interested in trying to see if I can take klegal actions against BOTH the company that filed claim, and lawyer who actually filed claim, without verifying anything and providing proof.

Keep in mind, this was LONG before I found this site!
Had I known then what I know now........

Hi Keith,

KcKhan, you definitely need to consult an attorney and also Contact your state attorney general. Depending on what state you live in, most states have their laws on line, so you can research the law pertaining to garnishments your self. If you need help doing this, send me a message through the site, and I will see what I can do for you. Be sure you include what state you live in.

Sent letters CM-RRR. Recieved both return reciepts recently. To date, nothing has been done. That is, no phone calls, and no written information regarding the situations at hand presently.

Will post update when, or IF I recieve any response from either company.

Hope everybody has a wonderful New Year!! Mine gets underway with a new, full time job, starting Jan 2!

Shelley, do you have the call back number of the company? Ask them to prove that they are contacting the right person. You know your information will not match with theirs. This will force them to stop calling you. Send a cease and desist letter to their mailing address. Once your letter has been received by the company, they are required to stop calling you.

Shelley, you must make sure that you do not have any debt with them for which they are calling. But since it's a mistaken identity, you can make your move strongly.

I continue to recieve calls from a collection agency that claims I owe them a coolection of $320.00 and this is suppose to be from 1998. I do not owe anyone and when they call, I demand they send something with a letterhead or contact information by mail to my mailing address. Nothing recieived by mail so far but the harrassment still continues. Company claims the cell # is 847-647-9526. Do you guys have any advice?
