I had a payday loan company's collector call me threatning to press charges against me. I truly don't even remember borrowing this loan and ask could they forward the documentation to me. I told them there's no way I would try to steal money for a payday loan company. I have been caught up in the payday loan mess for years. They said I needed an attorney, and that they could forward the information to my attorney. I spoke with an attorney, and he said it was a criminal act for them to contact me with such charges. I don't know what to do? Any any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

Larry, I'm sure it is illegal for them to call and threaten you like that. Have you sent them a DV letter you are entitled to receive validation that this is in fact your debt. Make sure you send it registered mail return receipt requested so you have proof that they received it.

Hope this helps,
Johnita
