icollect usually attempts to collect on illegal lenders. Any legit company would not call you and threaten you this way. It would be in your best interest to file a complaint with your Attorney General and the FTC. I don't know what state you are in but usually criminal charges are prohibited when defaulting on payday loans. And besides, you can't go to jail for owing a debt. I would tell this company they are violating the FDCPA by making false threats against you, I would also tell them you will do NOTHING until you receive a letter of collection via the mail, as required by the federal law.

I have just been contacted by a "collection agency" saying they are the legal offices of Oasis Marketing Group. This is a on-line payday loan in which I had taken a loan with in the past. They called me today threatening me that if I didn't send 600.00 by 8pm tonight I would be arrested and brought up on Felony charges. Can they do that????
