Collection agency calling work and family from paid PDL from 2008?!
Date: Wed, 06/08/2011 - 12:08
Today myself (at work), my mother in law, sister in law and my supervisor have all recieved a call from a "locator" called Consolidated Mitigation saying they wanted to "find" me and serve me with papers to sue me for check fraud related to a payday loan I took out with Authorized "Payday.com" in June 2008.
The loan in question was an error on APD's part and was drafted in full from my bank account on 12/02/2011. I advised "Mike Pierce" at Consolidated Mitigation and was asked to fax in this info, so I did (bank statment showing ACH draft; reciept from agency I paid showing it was to satisfy my debt with APD). I called back to see if they recd the fax and another CSR said "it didn't matter because it wouldn't have ended up with them if it wasn't owed" and when I asked was told that she wouldn't/couldn't give me the "trackers" info who were calling me as they were hired by APD.
I called APD as well and they wouldn't speak to me about it. Very rude and short with me. I want the harrassing calls to STOP and want this rolled off of my credit report. I have faxed this to Consolidated Mitigation and APD today. I have also complained to the BBB and to the Online Lenders Alliance. Is there anything else I can do? I only have a fax # and phone # for consolidated mitigation and they haven't sent me anything by mail.
Thanks so much!

You have taken the right step by complaining about them to the B
You have taken the right step by complaining about them to the BBB and the FTC. You've mentioned that you had paid them off in 2008. Do you have any documents related to that payment? If yes, then you can send a copy of those documents to them and can try to sort out the matter.
