Beware of a dirty CA
Date: Wed, 03/03/2010 - 10:22
I got a call from 866-964-8194, asking to call back 877-658-6929. Of course I googled these numbers and saw tons of reports from people about their practices...i saw several names, including Oasis Financial
Anyway i called in, they gave me a case number and transferred me to some guy who informed that i was going to be charged with check something other and a case of fraud...that i took federal funds from a bank account and transferred them to a Fleet bank ( never had a Fleet bank account) and that there was talk of getting Homeland Security involved (HA!). Anyway i asked to know who this was and they mentioned BNL Marketing...well I do recall taking a PDL out with them years ago, which I paid back and then some with all their fees. I asked for their number, he said he wasn't legally allowed to give it to me. I said I would need to see something writing, he asked if i had FAX, I said no it would have to be mailed...he said 'well here's what i'm going to do...end this call and have your attorney call me, and wish you good luck' ...i responded happily 'hey thanks you too'
He had also mentioned that this case being worked through in Montgomery county, which is my county...he gave me a case number...I find it hard to believe it is legit though. He also said that all the proof I needed was on my credit report...but this compnay nor any other PDL appears on there. So clearly there's a lot fishy about this
I'm assuming I am correct in that his is just a lot hogwash, and that such charges would never be brought against me for a PDL, especially one I probably paid back 3 times over.
So I'm hoping I was in the right here...i should sue them.

yes on all counts.i doubt there is anything in your county courthouse with the case#he gave.almost sounds like the scam in INDIA,but you never mentioned that.even so debts are civil matters,not criminal ones.i would first file a police report for the call as he broke the law in threatening you.then file AG,and FTC complaints against him.you can use the number you have to file.just know he can do nothing he threatened.file the report and complaints,and try not to talk to him again.
I don't plan on talking to them again, i knew from the beginning
I don't plan on talking to them again, i knew from the beginning it was garbabe...i mean homeland security? Over a 300 dollar pdl...i mean come on now!
Thanks for verifying i have nothing to worry about as far as being sued or anything like that. I hope some others see this and don't get scared by some of these.
its kind of amazing there are still people like this who say blatantly violate the law
From what you said, you would have their butt in a sling for FDC
From what you said, you would have their butt in a sling for FDCPA violations out the wazoo!! I love to let them put their foot in their mouths and then sue the heck out of them!
