I got a payday loan from nevis marketing back in February of 2007. They took out approximately 4 times the amount of the original loan just from the "fees" every two weeks from my debit account. I eventually had to close my account and open a new one to get them to stop. Now, almost two years later, I got a call today saying that they were filing some papers to send me to jail for stolen property/bad checks. They said they would settle it if I paid another $558 today or in two payments. When I said I didn't feel like I still owed them the lady said it wasn't her company that was asking for the money, they were just the attorney's hired to take care of this matter and they would continue to pursue taking me to jail. She wished me luck and hung up on me. I don't know if they can really do that? Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Sounds like a freakin scam to me. Next time they call, remind them, they have 5 days after their initial contact with you to send a dunning letter via USPS. For all you know, this call could be from Joe Blow down the street. Nope, any legit Attorney would know they need to send you notification through the mail.

By the way, isn't Nevis Marketing located somewere in the West Indies? If so, then they are definitely trying to scam you!

Yup Shazzers is right, TOTAL SCAM! It sounds like the infamous US NATIONAL BANK got your info from a defaulted loan with a PDL company. Now they are passing idol threats and bully you into paying them. Complete scam!! BEWARE!! Do not give them no information whatsoever. When they call back tell them to kick rocks!!

Thank you everyone! Isn't there something I can file with my state's attorney general to make them aware of the situation so that it can help others?

You can file a complaint with your state AG and FTC. Unfortunatelly I doubt it would help stop them from doing business. These clowns are located overseas and use generated state side numbers to call consumers. It SUCKS!! hey, but it doesn't hurt to try! Wink
