First of all, I applied for a $300.00 loan and it went through without me signing anything, over $1000.00 was drawn from my account. I tried to contact this company, had no phone number, address or any way to contact them through the web again. I did come to a site as this one and read some of the messages and I took the advice and closed my account. I have not heard from them until this past Friday, when someone named Fredrick Foster called and threatened me that he was a police officer and that a court order was issued for my arrest for fraud activities against the bank and that an officer was coming to my job and place of residence to arrest me in front of everyone. He stated that I could pay him $700 right now or pay $4000 in court and do 3 years in jail. He stated that he was going to forward my records to the city and state police in which I live and they will be coming today, before I could run. I told him that I wasn`t going anywhere and that I will be here to greet them when they arrived. He has been calling leaving threatening messages on my phone and I would like to know who it is I need to contact to stop this madness. He has even talked with my son and have him scared that I am going to be arrested, displayed my SS# on the phone, not even knowing if I am the person. I am very angry about this and want to know how to handle this.

I know this must be hard to handle. I would also report them to your state AG office. Next time he calls tell him he has been reported for harassment and there are hefty fines for treating people that way. Tell him you have reported his actions to the local and state police and will be recording his phone calls.
WOW, just throw it all back at him the way he did it to you. I think it will help and it will sure make you feel better. Bully him right back!

Dazzel..you can find out the name of the company by calling your bank...they will have the info listed from when they debit. Please let us know who it is and we can try to give you more information. If this is a ipdl..their collection activities are totally against the law. You can and should file a complaint with your state attorney general as well as the BBB and the FTC. Please let us know how it comes out.

Did he say your ss# over the phone or on a recording? I'm with Volley. How did he display your ss#? Just curious because it is always interesting to see what new and innovative threats that they come up with. I think you should file with your AG also. He has violated some very serious laws. Please come back and let us know who it is that is doing this.

The last number I have for TJF is 1-866-224-8776. I cannot remember who that was through. I will have to go through my papers but I know that TJF turned me over to I-collect which turned me over to Bass and Ass. and United pay services.

I would take those threatening messages to your local police. I would also inform the FTC, Your state AG and banking division, Their state AG and banking division, the BBB and probably the FBI. Because they will not stop at saying they are a police officer they will go on saying they are from the FBI. That is a new one that they are using quite often. Get a pen and paper and start recording the dates and times they call you. And check you laws about recording calls and then if legal start doing so when they call. Check you laws on payday loans and send them letters stating the laws of your state and to cease contact. There are some good letters that you can use in the do it yourself section. Good luck and let us know how this goes for you or if you need any further help with this one.

A company collecting for TJF started calling me on Thursday and stated that I owed them money and if I didn't pay they were going to have me arrested. My husband and I fell for it since the bill was from 10/05 and have paid OVER $200. They keep calling and asking for more money. We have FINALLY caught on to the game and stopped paying. Is there any way we can get the money back AND get them to stop calling? They call at all hours and call 20 x's an hour.
