I got a call and a message from the 954-237-6824 number today. The guy left a message...and I am so positive he is in singapore or east indian or someplace. I could barely understand him, but I did understand his threats of call him back today or else and if I didn't goodluck. I am in the payday loan hell, i sent notice to all the ones I had to contact me by mail with payoff instuctions and put stop payments on them at my banks. That was last week...all I have to say is somebody works fast!

I also get a call from 651 204 1329 for which they never leave a message.

I tell everyone that I can, do not get involved with Payday loans...they are a vicious cycle of hell.

I got a call from the 305 number mentioned in this topic. It was from an Indian person who identified himself as Tom Jackson. I also received a call from his "supervisor" Andrew Koch from a 732 number. They identify themselves as being with United Federal Recovery out of Florida. But I am pretty sure they are with Prelitigations, and they are working out of Indian call center. These people are scum.

I also received a call from a Tom Jackson. He told me that I better have a lawyer present because I will face legal charges today. Someone will come to my place of employment and arrest me.

Yeah when I first started getting my calls, the "Koch" guy was calling me at work and he kept saying he was from Prelitigations. They always use different numbers, but when they would call me it always came up restricted.

I got a call from them today...and they have apparently been calling my old job and harassing the receptionist repetedly.

I got an email from the Security Officer that said they were going to tell them that I no longer worked there, and that they have passed along the info.

I know this is in regard to a defaulted PDL (with Cash Advance USA, I think), that I have more than paid back the principle..and interest.

I'm not dealing with this...thank you for posting all this info, I must say I was terrifed when I got the first call...now, thanks to this site, I am better equipped to fight these idiots.

UNITED is a separate company from Bass.

It is possible that they are both a front from Ellis Crosby. As posted earlier today, United definitely is a front for Ellis Crosby. This was confirmed by an industry insider.

this call was definately not from some one named Ron Collins. He was from India from the sound of it. Advised me that I would be arrested at my place of business. When I told him I could not understand where he was from he proceeded to tell me it was because I'm a loser. It really does scare you when they start. I am going to be calling the states attorney's office.

I just received a call from a man that says his name is Mark Johnson. He called from 718-715-0846. He had a strong middle eastern accent. He said I owed 2-power funding some money and I that I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay. He told me to send the money via moneygram and use paycode 5056. My original loan was for $390. I called 2-power funding and told them I had changed banks. She said they had turned my account over to I-Collect. When the gentleman from the collection agency called me, he said I would have to send them $685 within 24 hours of I would be arrested, lose my job, and have other charges brought against me.

The first phone call I got last april saying all this crap about being "downloaded" and I had committed internet fraud, and bad check writing....it was an 1-800....They scared the S---! out of me. That was when I was told that they were going to trace my IP address and that there was affadavids out on me. The only name of the company she gave me was "pre-litigation" No such company exsisted. I went by their 1-800 number she gave me and I did some research on it and found out it was Jacoby and Mayers...I believe its also known as Ellis Crosby....aka Bass and Assoc....(not sure on the Bass and Assoc..( anyway, I filed my first complaint with them (Jacoby and Mayers) they had SEVERAL complaints against them. After bawling like crazy- I actually thought all weekend that when a car went by my house it was going to be the cops coming to get me. My boss said to calm down- her job was to scare the #$$% out of me and he looked at me and said guess what? It worked! No one came to my door but I'm telling you it ruined my whole weekend. (this call came in at 9:30 on a friday) my point is- I have heard of the word "pre-litigation" and it only came from one company and, that was Jacoby and Mayers...I would file your complaints because they cant harass you like that.....it is was an 1-800 number let me know I bet it was from those scum bags!! Keep us posted...Good Luck

Ok I just found this site by accident, but as I was reading everyone's comments it gave me some relief. I received a call from a company called Legal Mediation Practice and they were informing me of my payday loan that I took out a year ago for 600.00. The person on the phone was telling me that my status on the account was now in pre-litigation status and that if I didn't pay the amount that was owed to them that they would take further action either at my home or at my place of work. It totally scared me and I didn't know what to do. So I started researching the term Pre-litigation and I came across this site. From what I've been reading, this seems like just a scare tatict that the collection agencies use? I hope so b/c I don't just have the money lying around to pay them just yet. Can anyone give me any advice on this? The number that they called me from was 800-201-0565.

I found this thread a ways back...hope this takes some stress off

Listen, i'm almost embarrassed to say, but i used to work for this company legal mediation practice @ 1919 blanding blvd jacksonville florida 32210. Ph# 18002010565. I am sorry if i was ever the person who called you. Listen, yes it needs to be paid back, but only because it will go on your credit. Not because you will go to jail. That is just how they collect. The moto is imply don't lie. They probably said something along the lines of you have until 3 pm today to have the money in here or we will recommend for the fullest action to be taken against you. They say u r back up by a check, but it's not like you wrote a bad check. I am telling you you can not be put in jail for this. What you all need to do is report them for violation of fdcpa law. They do not read the mini maranda. This is an attempt to collect a debt any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Also this call may be recorded. Did u hear that?? More than likely not. We were told we would get in trouble for stating it was a debt. We were told to say it is against the law to write a check, yes it is, but that isn't what you did. Its a payday loan, the company took chances by loaning money to you. Nothing will come of it. Again sorry if i was ever the one to call you. Good luck all. Btw, just start sending them payments. As long as they receive 10-50 dollar payments there is nothing they can do. They can't even send it back to ace, allied, or where ever it came from!

I too received a call from United Pay Services which scared me to death. The man, who had a very thick Indian accent, told me that if I did not cooperate and send them $1400 I would be arrested either at my house or at my place of employment. I told him that I did not have $1400, and then he lowered it to $490.00 but I would have to get to a store and send a Money Gram to r/c 5056 within 20 minutes in order to avoid any further action being taken. And that I was also to make additional payments when they called me be at a later day. I was to call him as soon as I arrived at the store so that he could give me all the necessary information. Well, I went ahead and made the payment (which by the way meant that my car payment wasn't made) and I called him back to give him the reference number. After that he continued to talk to me, wanted to know what I look like, if I was fat or thin and if I would send him a picture of myself so that he could see if I was pretty or not. This really creeped me out! So I hung up. Since then I received two more calls from him which I have ignored but still remained scared because I didn't know if they were serious about the arrest threat. Thankfully I found this site the other day and it has given me a peace of mind. I also looked into where the phone number that he called me from was listed...the pay went to Jacksonville, FL however the number is listed in California. If they keep calling me should I continue to ignore it or will they really take action against me?

Any advice out there?

I would find out if you can record calls in your state and then do so if allowed..if not find a lawyer.
Then I would contact every agency I could think of and send the transcripts (Notarized) to any agency that will help you..
I dont care what you owe or dont owe NO MAN or WOMAN needs to be subjected to that type of phone call or be Intimidated by anyone. Sorry it is a violation of your person.
