I received a threatening call to from Sam Cobbs, this was back on 12/1/05 and it was supposedly concerning a $500 payday loan that I received well I agreed to send them $250 on that day by wire and then the other $250 by the end of the month, but I never did. Now they are calling back, I just got off the phone with a Bob at 714-243-5226 but they are operating from another company called United Something, now he is saying that I owe them almost $500 he said it is for the interest and late payment that was incurred. He seemed to have all of the information pertaining to the loan but I can't seem to find the payday loan company online anymore. He said the company is called MY1Direct and I remember seeing this when they emailed me saying that I got the loan and what I needed to do, if anyone has any info on them let me know so that I can contact them personally and pay them their money, I still have my receipt so I feel pretty good about at least having it, but they can be very demanding and I just had to tell him where to go and that he will wait on me to contact him on next week once I have done my research.

Hi Katrina,

You can use the information given below to contact M1Y Direct. Remember to get the statement showing the calculation of interest rates and other charges. The statement must also show the last payment made by you so that you know that the company is making the legitimate call. It's better to do your communication in writing with them for records.

This is a message to all who take out loans with a payday company. I received a call about a month ago in regards to an outstanding payday loan I had with some company back in Nov, 2005. I was told that I had committed Internet Bank Fraud and they would download my case by noon if I didn't send a payment by noon that day. I knew instantly it was a collection agency trying to collect on a unpaid (payday)loan. The person that was calling me was using several different names each time he called and his accent never changed. I finally called back and spoke with the same person who use a different name, when I first spoke with him, he then changed his name to the original person I first spoke with. I ask for a letter of debt and I told him my lawyer would be taking over. I haven't received any more calls from this group. I would report them to the Federal Trade Commission, because cleary they are misrepresenting the creditor that they are trying to collect money for. The guy also said he was with United Federal Services, emplying that he was a case investigator. This is collector tactic to scare you. Don't fall for it...Get a lawyer involved!!

I just got a call today from someone collecting for my1 direct they said they were calling just to get the name & number of my lawyer that my file was due to be downloaded in a hour & a half. This is the 1st call i received what are my options Do i need a lawyer Will a police officer come to my work if i don't take care of this right now?

Don't get afraid of these scary tactics. You will find loads of information in this forum discussing about such issues. I have never read anyone describing something like this actually happened. Believe me, threats are used to recover money at the earliest.

Call your original credit company and work out arrangements with them. Ask this collection company to give you the details in writing. You will be sure about them making legitimate collections. If they don't have your accounts, it may be an attempt to make some easy money from you. Just don't be afraid. Follow the laws and you will stay protected.

does anyone have a number for Paragon Funding

Thanks so much for your reply. I don't think I have a loan with them. The guy calling me is Rick Dunham. I laughed at him and he got pretty mad. I kept asking him who my loan was through and finally got that I borrowed money from Paragon Funding. Never heard of them. He wanted me to send money and I laughed so he called me names and wouldn't talk to me anymore. Pretty funny. I called him back a couple times just to bug him.

I just found this site by trying to find a site for paragon funding. I have been receiving multiple calls a a day from 3 different women in regards to funding I received through them. I have never heard of them nor have I filled out or accepted any loan from them, but they are saying that they have my bank account info and they are going to do an ACH debit from my account for what they say I owe. I have checked my bank account and the bank is not showing any activity on funds being withdrawn, but I am very nervous. I keep asking them to send me something showing that I received funding from them, but they tell me that they emailed me all of the necessary loan documents and contract. I have scoured over my emails and I do not have anything from them. What exactly is this company and should I be worried about them pulling money out of my accounts? Not having any documents to support what they are saying, I don't know what to do or who to call. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I also received one of these threatning phone calls. My wife panicked so much she had to go to the hospital. I also did pay them a few hundred dollars. When I got home and saw my wife, I took her to the ER. She had a mild stress stroke. Well I called my lawyer immidiately. They already took out like 1200 dollars from my bank. So I changed accounts and am now going after the rest back they owe me. Between the 2 company's I owed 750 dollars.I am also trying to track this United Federal something down and sue them for my wife's stroke.

I have not heard from them since. I too had 1 guy with like 3 different names. And it was this same number as everyone else wrote in their blogs. Thanks to this website, I too was able to relax and undertstand things better. Thank you so much.

I was totally surprised when I logged on in search of info on Paragon Funding and found this website of people going through the same thing I went through.

I initially took out a loan with Paragon for about $300 for which they charged me $90 each pay period. When the time came to pay them off I was unable to contact them to let them know I wanted to clear the loan. Long story short they continued to charge me $90 for the $300 for about 6 months to a year. It took that long for me to find any info on them. Finally I was able to get my hands on their phone and fax number because I received a letter from them in the mail. I want to pass that info on to anyone else who might be in a jam with them because of a loan.
Here is the info, HOPE THIS HELPS.

i just recently divorced and come to find out my ex left me with 3 almost 4 months behind.can't do payments arrangements ,cause company said i dont have that choice but to come up with the money. My dilema is that i can't come up with the money that fast. I also have my credit as a 4.0 which is low ,very low. can't refinance and if i lose the house or sell it, i would end up with my security blanket off.. im scared and im so lost, i do have kids and is hard. Any alternatives?

Tanettec.....I too took out a loan with Paragon for $300 and they have steadily taken $90 every two weeks out of my account....I have now paid them $540 and that is way more than I was supposed to have owed them. I am having a hard time getting any answers and now I can't even find a website on them. I believe that I will have to close out the account in order to keep them from taking anymore.

I was looking at a payday loan company which is United Cashloans.com. I went through them once and they were great had no problems. Then few months later I asked them to do another one and they said they could not fund the payday loan, but then I get two emails from two different companies one is oasis1m and this paragon funding. They say that they have a loan doc for me to view, but when I went to view it it said that they were glad to recieve my electronic transmission and someone would contact me they have a different number than the paragon, but I never applied to them and it is illegal for unitedcash to share my private information like ssn,routing number and banking account number. They said they would contact me to confirm this information, but I want to call them tomorrow and report them and threaten them with a lawsuit for harrasment. Can they do anything?
