Greetings all,

About 30 minutes ago, I received a threatening phone call from United Processing out of Jacksonville, FL. They said they have a court case filed with my county's DA office about a bad check I wrote to Cash N Go for $400 dollars back in May. They are asking $1050 to terminate this case. They gave me only 1 hour to pay back the full amount thru MoneyGram. Cash N Go is a local storefront who actually filed a civil case for $550 of which I did not contest. They said someone from the Sheriff's department will be coming to my home or work to either arrest me or more paperwork. Has anyone been arrested for this scenario? What should I do? I am now very worried.

About 2 weeks ago, my grandmother was awakened with a phone call from a John Costas from Dean Smith & Associates. They told her that my brother was on the verge of being picked up by the sherriff for a warrant for writing a bad check and that they had him on camera from the time he borrowed money from a loan company. My grandmother put me on the phone to speak tih these assholes and after I put them through the ringer and interrogated them abouth their allegations against my brother, they cussed me and said that they could care less about my brother cause they are still gonna get a paycheck regardless and that he needs to pay that debt or else he was going to jail. Also that he would have to pay the court costs etc.
Yes, I am in agreement, these people are crazy and I actually saw a segment of Dateline an a company who DID THIS VERY SAME THING TO PEOPLE. They buy contracts from companies and try to recoupe money and also adding their own extra dollar amounts on to pocket for themselves. Its so ridiculous!! People, we need to take action against this so-called company and put a stop to this scam! I just found out today my brother sent them $600 last week because they "scared" him into sending them money!! I am quite pissed!

So what happened when you called the corp office for Cash Plus because I'm dealing with the same thing.
I work for a gov agency and I'm getting calls daily.
They leave messages with my co-workers stating I'm in legal trouble.
I have repeatedly asked them(nicely I may add) to stop calling my job.
I have been threatened with jail time even after I requested to make a payment this week.
I even called the local Cash Plus to request that I make payments at the office and was refused as it has been,"turned over to collections".
