This morning I received a phone call at work from a woman (she incoherently mumbled her name and I was too scared to ask her to repeat it) from a collection agency called AS & Associates. She stated that I had taken out a payday loan in July (that I remember) and that my bank account funds were insufficient and could not cover the payment of the loan. She was calling me to tell me that I had to come up with either a credit card payment of $312 (for the $260 loan) or a MoneyGram payment, or my file would go to county court, where they would charge me and I would "probably be arrested at work".
