Ashland Funding / I Collect

I dealt with Ashland, inform them that they are illegal and you will only pay the principal. Pay them with a prepaid visa card. Do not cave to their threats they are off shore.

How much did you borrow and how much have you already paid them? Do not repay them one dime over the principal amount.

I found a link. But when I went to it, it states the website is "under construction". Their information is as follows:

Ashland Funding, LLC
196 W. Ashland Street
Doylestown, PA 18901
267-895-1763

I'm not sure if this is accurate information for them.

As far as I Collect goes......it sounds like a load they're feeding you. I can't find anything about them. Anyone else?

I borrowed $200 and I have paid back $120.00. They have cost me much more than the remaining $80.00 balance by putting thru payments at weird times.

I will not be going onto their website for I Collect...I will wait to see if I get any mail from them. I do not speak to anyone dealing with Collections over the phone.

I didn't find a website for I Collect. I was saying I found a website for them and it's only a white screen with black lettering saying under construction. Good luck.

Ashland Funding is Off Shore and they are a joke!!!!! They will take a prepaid debit card. Pay them the $80 and be done with them. I dont think you will get any mail from them but I could be wrong.

I got the same email from Matt todaoy aswell. I seen the site and won't pay there.

iCollect.virtualcollector.net

I just recived an email notice from NRS ( National Recovery Service ) in Ottawa, KS...Since Ashland Funing is illegal & off shore how can they hire an agency?

Being illegal and off shore does not mean they cannot hire a CA. Check to see if NRS is licensed to collect in your state. Most of the time illegal PDL's hire illegal CA's.

How do I find that out?

I also just received the same message from "Matt" (matt@oms90.com) but this was regarding funds from Kenwood Services LLC. BTW if you try to send an e-mail to MATT - it just gets kicked back.

I too pasted the link (iCollect(dot)virtualcollector(dot)net) and no such web site....

I did come across the following:
...They refuse to provide any documentation, but in one phone call I managed to get them to slip up and give me the original creditor's name which they said was "Ashland Funding". I searched online and found a phone number for them of 1-866-722-2770, and called it. They said they had my name on file, but that they had "sold" my debt to a company called iCollect, and to call them. iCollect's phone number is 1-866-856-1024, and when I called, I am unable to reach any live person; it is just a recorded message saying you should contact the original creditor if it is less than 90 days old, or contact the collection agency that is calling you if it is over 90 days old. No other phone numbers are provided, no address, nothing!...(this was from budhibbs(dot)com(backslash)agency_watch_list_submissions(dot)htm)

When I was dealing with Ashland, I called them back after speaking with a guy named John and when he answered the phone he said Kenwood. I said "John so now your Kenwood" He said this is not John you must be crazy. I said yes this is John and you must be a "scam artist". He hung up. Two seconds later the guy calls me back as John from Ashland.

When I got emails from Matt they came from the bmg group. (Bahamas Marketing Group)

I have spoken with NRS twice about the Ashland Funding account....of course, they do not send anything in the mail per Brandi calling from 866-222-0222...they send everything electronically....so I informed her I do send Validation Letters thru the USPS and she will not get anything from me until she DOES send me soemthing in the mail. Their # now calls my main line at work at least 5x per day but no one is on the other line...I have not gotten their signature back from the Certified Letter I mailed to them last week.

"I dealt with Ashland, inform them that they are illegal and you will only pay the principal. Pay them with a prepaid visa card. Do not cave to their threats they are off shore. "

He is correct they are off shore as far as i can tell.

Everybody this is a scam. They got information from a loan I already paid off.

i didnt put in for a loan my girlfriend ues my name and my name is thomas blake 412-664-1220 she said she didnt sign anything but the loan is sign i want to know how you can sign something without me knowing .i dont want the loan and i dont want you messing in my account thomas blake.

how do i owe u money

how do i owe u money

Ok... I had a loan for $250.00 after a week I had some Indian guy call me from the "Federal Authorities" threatening me (he called my work) that they were taking legal action and if I did not pay $500.00 in my loan repayment plus legal fees they were arresting me at 2pm that day and taking me to court. Well I freaked and gave them my checking account info to take the 500 out that day. I then went and cancelled all my checking info and changed it. almost a year later this guy calls me at work AGAIN "Officer Michael Stevens" who can barely speak english that I now owe $5000.00 and if I cannot pay it over the phone they have authorities on the way to my work and I am being charged with fraud. Well I got mad and said I paid you and have a cancelled check and I am reporting you for harrassment and being that you can hardly speak english I doubt your name is Michael Stevens and I have your number and I am reporting you well after he yelled at me that they'd be here at 2pm and hung up... NO ONE CAME! And I looked up the number and it says they are a scam and Ashland gave them my social security number bc they wanted me to verify and I refused so now some immigrant is using my ss number and I am totally freaked out and will never escape the mistakes I made with a stupid payday loan company who is now probably using my number for fraud. GREAT! But don't pay them and don't give in to them. Pay them what you took out and if they won't give you and address to send a check or money order to then tell them you refuse to send it and will report them for not cooperating with their legal obligations.[font=Arial][/font][color=Black][/color][size=2][/size]

i have put ALL my information in to get a loan..will i get it or will all my information be sold off

i have put ALL my information in to get a loan..will i get it or will all my information be sold off

I suggest canselling your loan ASAP and monitor your account closely.

If these guys are illegal how are they doing there dealings. I guess it's like identity theft. What a price we pay when we have an emergency come up and no one else will lend us any funds. I pray we all get our situations taken care of without us getting burned

I had an email from this Matt guy today offering a loan of $350,, it said dep will be made once employment is verified... Its unlikely I will ever see the deposit right? from what I am reading... they just want access to my account? I'm in this jam from the stupid Payday Loan crap.. in the first place.. any direction for me?

I have gotten the same email from Matt 3 times now.....replied to the 2nd one asking who he is, but never got a response....big surprise??? :rolleyes:

If you are threatened by arrest from any payday loan company you have the tridht to sue them for a thousand dollars plus court cost, same goes if they call your work and threaten the same, get all the information you can and call them back threaten them with the lawsuit of $1000.00 plus court cost if they continue the harassment.
No Worrys, see ya!
