Also might want to submit a complaint to fraud.org

Has anyone thought about contacting Dateline, 60Minutes or 20/20 etc. about these folks?
Sounds like a great idea!

I got a call from Cash Today from someone calling himself "Mark Ryan." He told me that I had taken out a loan with Cash Today 3 years ago and that they had been trying to get a hold of me for the past 3 years to no avail. I asked for details on this loan and he would not give them to me. I told him I needed to see this in writing and he said that since it was through the internet it was considered a verbal agreement. He then said that he was going to contact my supervisor which he did. My supervisor called me into his office and told me to call him back and tell him to stop calling me at work and not to involve him (my supervisor) that it is against company policy. I did call him back and tell him this but he said that he would call me at work every day until I paid. I told him that if I would agree to pay anything it would be through a money order but he refused saying that I needed to get my payroll dept. on the phone with him so that he could get my bank information. After reading this forum there is NO WAY I will give this information to him. I again told him to stop calling me at work and then hung up. After that he called over and over, maybe about 15 times. We have caller ID so I knew it was him and didn't bother answering. He also tried calling my supervisor again who also didn't answer. I ended up filing a complaint with our states attorney general. I don't know if it will do any good, but I hope it will. So far no calls today. Just wanted to share my story.

I received a phone call from a payday lender from the phone number 1-856-831-0640/U.S National Bank. I did receive a 300.00 loan however I do not remember this particular company. I called the number and they told me that they had legal documents filed against me and wanted money.

Please help.

If they had any legal documents against you they would have to file it with your local courts and you would get a copy from the court. It is my belief that they are bluffing. Ask in writting for written documentation regarding your loan. See earlier posts in this forum for letters that you can use. Dont pay them anything until you receive documentation regarding your loan.

The same thing happened to me last Thursday. I got a call from them telling me I had a loan from 2005 with them, and if I didn't pay today, they would file criminal charges against me - such as bank fraud and others etc.. I told them to send me some documentation on the loan. They said that I need an attorney, and they could send the information to him. I called 2 different attorneys, and they said Cash Today committed a crime by calling me accusing me of these charges. I also filed a complaint with the Attorney General of PA's office, and informed my local district attorney's office. I'm glad I found this site, and am able to read similar stories. I truly do not remember taking a loan out with them in 2005. I did take a loan out with them before, but I know I paid it off.

I'm dealing with them again, too. I had a loan with them back in 2004. I ended up closing the account, because they would not stop deducting "fees". I have paid in much more than is legally allowed. They are now trying to say that I owe them over $6000 because of fees, but they would be happy to offer me a discount if I gave them my checking account information right now.

The last contact I had with this company was in May 2005. They wait three years to contact me??? SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!

They absolutely refused to send me anything in way of proof that this is a valid debt, because they know it is not. They actually called me FIVE times in a row at work. The last time I told them that I was filing charges of harrassment. Boy did his tone change. He kept apologizing for the inconvenience. I told him it wasn't inconvenient, it was illegal. I'm just waiting to see if they call back again.

[ddstratton]

They called back again today. Now instead of $6000, they are willing to close the account for $400. This payday. Yeah, right. Like I'm going to give you my account information. They flat-out refuse to give any documentation or proof that this account is even valid. Love these guys.

They won't leave you alone even if you "pay off" the loan. They will still contact you and harass you. Something seriously needs to be done about these people. They won't stop. They are relentless. They are already being sued by someone, we should get together a class action and get all our money and pain back.

He kept apologizing for the inconvenience. I told him it wasn't inconvenient, it was illegal.

dd, I love it!!!

I agree.... They have called me a min. of 20 times today. They have called others around me and asked for a supervisor. They are total jerks! This is harrasment. ... They said they will call all day... The guys name is Dan Smith.....1-800-670-4075..... I told them to not call me at work and he said no. I need an attorney

Started calling me today- I could have read your emails and saved her the trouble. Word for word exactly what she said. 200 dollars 3 years ago and they would settle today for 1200. But I would have to give them my bank account number. yea right. really glad I did pre-paid legal, waiting on a call back now.
Never did get her name she would not give it. said she was the manager of the investigation department and when I asked for her legal department number for my lawyer she only gave me the main number - 877-290-5259.

[mppsu2003]

Interesting...the guy who called me was also the manager of the investigation dept...name of Michael Brown.

I'm curious, what do you mean by 'pre-paid legal'

I had the guy from Cash today call me and my work for 40 times with 4hr. period. How do I complain to the united kingdom.

[mppsu2003]

strangely i heard nothing from them today...and i tried calling the 877-290-5259 number and it just rang

[kscornell]

It probably just rang because they are actually in England--and depending on the time difference between Britain and where you are, depends on whether it get answered or not.
I would do the following to get them to stop:
File complaints with the FTC and the police in your town--and tell them that you did it. They won't listen to anything else, trust me, I know.
