Has anyone heard of the this collection group? They left me a message telling me that this message was an official notice that I was being served and they gave me an affidavid #. When i called the number back to get details, I asked him who they represented and he said "Payday Loan" and that I owed them $790. When I asked him if I could have validation, he was extremely apprehensive on giving me that information. I asked him to email it to me and said "when should I call you? after i send this to you?". I still haven't received an email from them. I just wanted to know if anyone hear of them. I can't find their number or name on the internet.


next call should be to your court clerk to confirm if there is a case against you.there are alot of bottomfeeders that use the tactic that they used on you.usually when you check with your court clerk there is nothing.so you basically demand something in writing before speaking with them again.btw what number came up on caller id?

Would I be calling the Court House in my county? I just went through this with another company called WNYC. They turned out to be illegal. I send them a letter and they cut all contact with me. Now this place, I can't seem to find on the internet or anything. I didn't notice the number they called from either. The number they gave me to call was 614-586-4357

The number I got from them was 614-586-4357, I have had people like these contact me and my family before, stating they have warrants for my arrest and summons for courts, but all you have to do i know how to handle them. Look up your rights, file complaits with the government (yes that is your right), and they HAVE to stop calling you if you tell them too. The problem with this company is that they don't have anything to go on but the number and company name (and I couldn't even get that until I called the number back, with my number blocked, several times). Without a website, email address or physical address to go on, you cant send a cease and disist letter. The letter works, I have done it, but you have to be completely thorough, have all your information correct (case numbers, dates called, etc) and don't be as rude as they are or use profane language, otherwise they have grounds to use against you (yes it is just as illegal for you to do it to them), not to mention puts you on their level.

I have already been through this with another illegal collector by the name of WNYC. They had me in a tizzy to find out they were illegal. I sent them a letter with all my details as well as copied the New York State Attorney General and they sent me an email telling me that they would not contact me again. But this place that called themselves Profile Rocovery has not called me or sent me anything since I asked him questions about his company, etc. I don't understand what they think they are going to get out of doing that to people. Unless you know your rights, I guess they can scare you into just about anything. Thanks for the tips. :D

I haven't heard of this company, but they called me as well. I didn't have a case at my county clerk's office, but I did pull out my paperwork and I completely forgot about this Payday Loan. They said the balance was $1,376, but after giving them the run around for two months, I called and offered them $350 and told them to take it or leave it. They took it of course, but make sure you get a legal release from them, because four days after I paid, another collection agency started to call and tried to collect. The legal release must have the original account # on it or it's not valid. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!

I was contacted by Profile Recovery. i wasn't sure what this was about and who they were, so i asked. I advised them that they were not listed on the internet. they refused to give me any information about them or send me a letter regarding my debt. This is illegal!!! Finally, after I contacted Consumer Protection Agency, I called them back and made it very clear that what they were doing was illegal and that as a consumer i have the right to know what debt collectors are calling me. The rep gave me a "corresponding address": 720 King St. West, Ste.151, Toronto Ontario Canada M5V3S5. If they refuse to give you any information regarding their company and they claim to have file a case against you in your county, make sure you note that info in your written response if in fact you ever receive one. When they file a small claims against you, you have to be properly served and you have a certain amount of time to respond to the written complaint from the plaintiff.

I received a call from Profile Recovery Group. They would only give me verbal information and refused to send me any letters regaridn gmy debt unless i was going to settle with them. I had no idea what they were talking about. They are not listed on the web and i confronted them about it and asked them to give me their address, and any info pertaining to their company and the alleged debt i owe. They refused. This is illegal!!!!. I advised them what they were doing was illegal and as a consumer i have the right to know what debt collectors are calling me and all info regarding the debt including the original creditor. The rep after being hesitant on the phone and putting me on hold finally gave me a "corresponding address": 720 King St. West, Ste.151, Toronto Ontario, Canada M5V3S5. There Tel # 614-586-4357. Their rude supervisor advise that the case will be filed in my county. First, when a case is filed against you, you are to be properly served with a written complaint which gives you a certain amount of time to respond to the plaintiff's complaint. In the response list all info you have regarding the calls received and the communication between you two. then after you, the defendant have responded then you will be given a court appearance. I plan on sending them a letter to the address given advising them to send me documentation of the debt on their letterhead. As long as i show that i am not ignoring this case and i am questioning the debt, then i can use it in court if it ever gets to that point. as consumers we have rights such as collectors threatening to garnish your wages. in the State of Texas, this is forbidden unless you owe alimony, childsupport, or the government.

Thanks for the address and the other information. I am going to send them a letter also. I did verbally request them to send me something showing who the creditor was and what I owed and I never received anything. That was to be sent my email. I will send them a letter, however, stating that since they cannot provide me with any information, there is nothing that I can do.

my parents received a call from this group I am in the military and overseas, my mom asked about the debt they said it was a payday loan, she called me about it, I filed a police report against my ex wife four years ago, I thought maybe that was it, My mom talked to a Mrs Myers from their offce and said that she need a legal letter stating the debt for payment, the lady got rude with her. My mom then called my cousin at the DA's office and they said that she should request validation on their letterhead she really got rude then. They threaten to call my command about it, that will be a bad idea on their part. They phone number is a number out of Columbus Ohio, how come their address is Canada

I was called from the number listed in many of your complants. They stated that I had several NSF that have come back from my checking account. They also told me that a suit had been filed with my city. After checking, neither came out to be true so I called the company back. A woman didn't tell me what company the payments were for or any details besides that I needed to pay them. After I told them I would have to check on this information more before doing ANYTHING she told me that it would be okay because they are submitted a garnishment request in the morning. She then hung up on me. Now when calling back they ask me for my name and in the "process" of transfering me they convently hang up on me...

Hello... Over the last couple of weeks... two, to be exact. I have gotten two phone calls from this 614 area code number. Both times they state that they are Paula Smith (hmmm, and they do not sound the same) and are calling about a civil suit against me. Frickin liars.

I have gone in both White Pages/and Yellow Pages to look up both the phone number and the name they say PRG and did not find anything. In fact, one website stated that the number (in Ohio) is actually a cloaked number and the originator is not showing through.

So, they do not exist??? That is until I looked it up on here and found some other people who have gotten calls from these slugs.

Recently, I had gotten a new job, with and exstensive background check/credit check... and there was NOTHING on either report to stop me from being hired. So, I am not exactly sure what "Paula Smith" wants, but if, by some remote chance I get the supposed lady (btw-the first time she left a message it sounded like she was yelling at her kids on the other end of the phone) I too will inform her of my findings... Thanks for having some informaton out there... I do appreciate it... Once again... PONDSCUM!

Just because someone says on a piece of paper or over the phone that you "owe" money doesn't mean you do. Unless you signed a legal document, you don't owe anything to anyone. ANYONE can make up a fax sent to Employers with the usual collections jargon. The thing is, that IF they were valid, they would do a SUMMONS GARNISHMENT - that is the legal route.
LAUGH AT THEIR THREATS, then hang up the phone - and write to your local and federal govenment offices to get rules and regulations that stop this type of harassment, forgery (yes, it is a type of forgery) and threats.
Lastely, talk to your HR/Payroll department to warn them that a fax may come in looking legal but is not. One would hope that your HR dept would NEVER fill out anything without your permission - but sometimes they do.
If enough concerned citizens write to their local government offices, they will have to respond and close these places down for good.

I did actually have a payday loan and called the original loan company who told me to call this PRG that the loan was there for collection. I called and spoke with a mn, (I dont remmember his name) but to my suprise, he was actually very helpful!! Even got the loan I took out for 500.00 closed for $330.00. I did a debt card transaction with them, ans they faxed and mailed me a letter showing that this ws paid. So thanks to him at PRG for helping me.

I got call for 716-362-0391...it's the same company for CashNetUSA. They said they were filing fraud charges against me for taking a loan and then closing my checking account. I asked the guy, "Exactly how are you filing charges with me if you are not a law enforcement body i.e. police department." He stared telling me that I was just "stupid and crazy." I then began to educate him that he could not legally threaten me when he himself was not a judicial and/or law enforcement body. I then stated that I would like proof of CashNetUSA's licensure to lend in the State of Utah as well as his right to collect in the State of Utah. He got very beligerant to me telling how crappy I was and asking how I didn't need proof of their right to lend money when I wanted to borrow it and that it's odd that I want license-to-lend proof now that I have to pay the money back. He kept asking, "Didn't you take the money? Didn't you take the money?" The loan was for $300. I made 4 interest payments. As I see it, unless they can provide proof to me, I owe them nothing because without a lending license, they can't charge interest, right??? Oh, let me add that they called twice...the first was a woman. She wouldn't hear anything I had to say and at the end, she said, "You're a sorry excuse for an adult." Would a "legal counselor" or any type of governmental representative/police officer/detective/judge make an insult like that, knowing the repercussions??? This company is so bogus.

PRG is the third collection agency that has received my alleged "debt" to CashNetUSA in the last 2 years. All three agencies have received my letter of debt validation and no one has been able to send me proof. Should I continue this silliness until the SOL is up? Who knows how many agencies this "debt" will go through at this point?

I have received several calls from these people. Today's call, at 7:18 AM. I have, and I have never had any debt at all. My credit file is frozen, and I never got any "advance pay" from anywhere. I am a senior citizen that has the bad luck of having the same last name of someone who they say he or she "is being sued" in a place 2000 miles from where I live. Still, the calls do not stop. Right now, the conversation is just them saying anything and me saying "Do not call this number anymore" What can I do to stop this for good? I am thinking on getting caller ID and call blocking in my phone, but I know that if they make their phone "unknown" then I will still be receving these harrassing calls

Actually, according to

http://www.whitepages.com/search/ReversePhone?full_phone=614+586-4357

the number belongs to
Katherine Harris - 300 W Broad St - Phone number (614) 586-4357 - Columbus, OH 43215-2761

Many sites say that their provider is CHOICE ONE COMMUNICATIONS, INC in Franklin, OH. That company does not take any complaint of abuse by its subscribers

I wrote something back in Sept in regards to this... at that point they were called PRG (or so I thought they were, with the infamous Patty Smith (the first a ticked off woman screaming at her kids in the background... the second, a rather bitchy sounding woman). Eventually, this number tracked to Katherine Harris, supposedly. Now... there is this stupid... SANDRA LAW idiot vru calls saying they have reached a decision with the case. Same number to call back... they are also using 6145839393 with the same idiot message. I just went through my mail over the last several months (a pack rat of sorts)... NOTHING from PRG, Sandra Law... whatever.

I have checked my county clerk on several instances about this, NOTHING... Bunch of liars and idiots. I wonder what the next name will be when they call... The story never ends.

I find this extremely interesting, quite a coincidence. The woman who sued PRG, retained Luftman Heck & Assoc. I met with Luftman Heck & Assoc. for a free initial bankruptcy consultation just a couple weeks ago, and today PRG called me about an old payday loan they say I took out in 12/2006.

Well maybe they hire collection reps to work from their homes or something? I know some companies do that. Regardless, I'm excited because soon I'll be able to shove my chapter 7 filing in their face to stop them from harrassing me!

Oh, get this...a "Ms. Martin" from PRG is the person who's been calling me. Right after she tried my cell last week, she actually called my mom trying to get ahold of me. She told my mom that she was with PRG, collecting for a loan from Wachovia Bank, formerly Wells Fargo Bank. "Ms. Martin" told my mom that I owe $1575, and that she had talked to me & I was "very excited" to take their $430 settlement offer, and that's why she was calling my mom--to have my mom tell me to call Ms. Martin back ASAP because the offer was expiring that day.

OK, WHAT THE HELL! She violated the FDCPA in a major way by discussing my account in detail with a 3rd party, and by saying that she was collecting for Wachovia/Wells Fargo. Hello McFly!!!! She is collecting for an online payday loan called TenDollarPaydayLoan.com.

Ms. Martin is one of the worst I've come across yet!

One more thing about PRG. Their office in Columbus is just blocks from where I am typing this. I've been tempted to drive by and check the address out, but I'm always in a rush to go home from work daily, and never want to make that effort LOL.

:confused:I have had payday loans before but I have always paid them.
When you apply or even aquire on one of these loans your information is given to several different companies. This could be how they get numbers and scam them. Just because they are a legitamite company doesn't mean that they can't be doing dirty work on the side. I have been called by them before too. They left a message the first time, I never called back. 2 months later they call me again, but this time no message. I know that I have never let a loan go unpaid.
