my wife has agreed to pay back a loan to rent a ceter financial services on a pdl for 430... they was taking it out of her bank account via debit card. the place taking it is called Providence and on her bank statement it says Atlanta Georgia. they told her if she missed one of her two payments they was going to send her to jail. the bank is changing all there debit cards and we cant find the number to this place to give them the check card number so they can take the last payment. is there anyway they can press criminal charges and put her in jail? btw we are in ohio..... the woman she spoke with when setting up payments said if she missed 1 payment she was going to jail for 6 months..... this is also the same place that she told me told her that they was part of the law in ohio


first was this a storefront?i'm guessing not as there is a couple of threads concerning this rent-a-center financial.secondly criminal action is prohibited in OH so this place broke the law in threatening arrest.third i'm also guessing you never got anything sent it was all calls.then do not pay them another cent.in fact see if you can get whatever money you gave them back.bottomline do not just a voice over the phone.you are totally entitled to a collection letter at least,and anybody that threeatens arrest should be reported,not paid.report them to your AG,AND THE FTC.

please tell me you remembered that number,or the nameof the person who told you that as they did break the law hand over fist.again in regards to this debt criminal action is not allowed,and by claiming to be the AG they would be in jail themselves for that.file AG complaints against this place and start keeping a log of any calls they make.again do not worry.this place broke the law in every way and you should report them before you pay them.

don't remember the name of the people but the place is Providence and on her bank receipt is from Atlanta Georgia.... and the woman that said she was with the Ohio Attorney General's Office and that this company was wanting to file charges for Financial Fraud and gave her a number to call. We have since lost the number and can't find it on the internet. and as i stated before they told her if she missed a payment then she was going to jail.

no problem.from now on keep track of the calls.keep a note pad by the phone.jot anything.number that appears on caller id.number they give you.time of day they call,and name of the person who called.do that for me okay.just know again this person(and i use that term loosely)broke the law themselves with that lie.keep records and file the AG complaint after you get enough info on whoever is calling.last thing.did you contact the location where the loan was obtained.maybe let them know that a witch is illegaly threatening you.worth a try.

your cousins boyfriend is wrong because the laws for loans like this are spelled out and criminal action is prohibited.also i'll try to see why i can come up with on them as if they sent you a letter then you should have disputed the debt as if you are sure and the original lender is no longer in business then that is different.get back to you,but know that you can't be arrested,or prosecuted for owing a pdl in ohio.

a google search of the number shows that it's a cell number.more proof that this is a piece of dirt that bought this debt.let's recap

1)uses illegal threats and scare tactics
2)breaks the law in mirepresenting themselves
3)number that shows up is a cell number

do not give these idiots another thought.file the AG complaints using that number.i would also file a police report as the threat of arrest is illegal.then ignore the b*tch.she can't do what she threatens and you have a number to reference and ignore.

Under circumstances that someone wishes to report a fraud in GA, he needs to begin with the AG, BBB or get in touch with the federal or state regulators, local municipal. Office address of the AG is as follows:

jorge the OP is in ohio.therefore the GA info is not really useful.they need to file the complaints with the OH AG.
