I am always getting unidentified calls. In Google, almost all the numbers have much information on them. You search with quotes and dashes, such as

"888-908-9559".

The best results are found at 800notes.com. With these site results you can usually find an entire discussion about the people that make these calls.

A lot of these numbers are from a call center. You can see the complaints are not from one source. I have seen as many as ten different companies being assoiciated with the same number. Was the message from a person with an Indian accent. That is usually who I get these messages from, and they are not even for anyone in my household. They make all kinds of threats that are not legal, but hard to do anything about, because they are in India. If you get another call, answer it if you want, but do not give them any personal info. Or, just ignore the calls until you get something from them in writing. But, do keep a copy of the voicemail. It can be useful if they are violating the FDCPA. If they are threatening an action that they cannot do, like arrest, or will not do, then they have violated the FDCPA. Without a dunning letter, just ignore them, and they will go away.

No it was an American guy. I'm filling BK in about 2 weeks, so whoever they are they are out of luck. I'll give my Lawyer the phone number and let him call them:)

My guess is that it is for CashNet USA. I called them (CashNet) last week to get BK information and they had sold the account, to some company called AIS, who sold it to some company called NCA, who told me they sold it to some company called CTL. When I called this CTL they were RUDE and said they didn't have the account, although NCA swore they did. NCA said they (CTL) had just bought the account on July 22 and maybe hadn't yet put it into their system.

This CTL did tell me however "Oh well you should be glad your not in our system, we are a processor for passing bad checks a crossed state lines, and if you had an account with us, we would be filling a law suit Friday at 9am" ---WHATEVER, why would this person bother telling who and what they do if I had no business with them. I did go to the 800notes.com and sure enough a lot of folks are saying the same type of stuff I've said here.

Make sure you check your credit report, because I pulled a free one last week and CashNet was on there, I was so shocked. Out of all the PDL's I had dealt with years ago they are the only ones that posted something on my credit report. I'm filing a dispute because I never received anything in the mail about it.

Hey. Should I be worried? I got a call from a guy obviously in an India call center (it was SO loud there). He claimed I didn't pay back a payday loan for $300 from Cashnet.usa. I thought I was going crazy, so I checked my bank account from last year and didn't see anything from Cashnet, and the loans I've ever had are always paid off. They said the police would come to my home or work and take me to court. It totally didn't sound right to me at all. Any thoughts?

I just got off the phone with someone calling from Callaghan & associates. What scared me is it was a local phone number. He DID state that when he calls me back in the future it MAY show up with area code 716 or even blocked. Stated it was for MyCashNow.com PDL and I'm going to be indicted. Then when I asked more info and acted like I was going to resolve the unpaid loan he got very nice all of a sudden. I said "i don't want to go to jail" he said you wont go to jail but they may suspend your license. I'm really not sure what to do. HELP

First, you can't go to jail for not paying a debt. Second, you can't have your license suspended for not paying a debt. Third, they aren't supposed to be blocking their number. AND, they can't THREATEN either of those first two things. This is a SCAM! Do you even owe a debt? MyCashNow is an illegal lender. Did you have a loan with them at any time in the past? Did you pay it off? What you need to do is file a complaint with your state's attorney general, the FTC and your local police department. The next time these peole call, tell them to send you something in writing or FOAD!
