I just get a phone call from the 214-206-8758 number. Do not recognize it,so I did not answer. There is a voicemail. It is a Mrs. Usova from a DNI Recovery,saying that they are going to do an immediate wage garnish and to call her back at 877-855-1624 to discuss my options. Has anyone ever heard of this company and deal with them? I do have a few payday loans that I stopped paying because I am losing my job next month. I live in NJ. I am sure that this is what this is all about. Thanks for the info. John

nothing came up with a search.sounds like a scam to me as nobody can garnish without a court order.except for federal tax debt,or federal student loans.i wouldn't call them back as how can they garnish someone who's going to be unemployed.just ignore them.

Thanks for the heads up. You can add this number to the list, 888-232-6426. A Mrs. Russell called this morning from a place called BC Financial Services,telling me the same thing as dni recovery. Once I get done here with work,I am going to get all of this straightened out. Things are a little crazy for me right now

I have also received a similar phone call just today. I live in Texas though. I may have an old unpaid payday loan from 6 years ago.... received the same threat about the wage garnishment. Of course, I asked for proof of the debt to which they will do... but say they will send confirmation as soon as you set up payment arrangements. I was also under the impression that no one could garnish wages without a court order... (except federal and state tax boards)... I think this must be someone who "bought" information and now trying to bully people to pay up. I am going to ignore.

"Marie" called me, stated she was going to garnish my wages for a debt with United Payday Loans that was taken out in 2008. She called me (I live in WA) before 8am. I gave her the name and phone number of my attorney. She stated she couldn't give me her last name, or the address of her business, which is DNI Recovery. I asked how come I didn't receive any letters regarding this and she said the creditor had sent me letters but I never responded. I told her how come they hadn't sent me any letters and she stated because they couldn't. When I asked how is that legal pursuant to the FDCPA she stated they were the creditors but yet the account was placed in her office on 7/13/10. How can they be both the collector & the original creditor? Please. I actually do have an attorney and have worked with him very closely on matters like these so I know BS when I hear it. Off to file complaints with the BBB, FTC, and post on other pages because I can see this "Marie" has threatened others as well. They also called my place of employment from the number & it shows up on the caller ID as Excel Receivables. Also, further searching shows this number belonging to Ezell Williams and Associates. I've already filed complaints with the FTC, BBB and now the IL Attorney General. Their number is 630-554-7876 and there are two address for them: according to the BBB it is 505 Rosenbush Lane Oswego, IL 60543 w/ a fax of (630) 554-5219. This number is associated to a landline phone belonging to Linda & Anthony Giangiulio at 337 Country Ln, Yorkville, IL 60560

I told them i had no such loan the man began telling me my private info and said i did. i then asked him when was the loan taken out he said sometime between june and august and i said what day, he could not tell me he didn't know i asked for his name which he gave as cliff wilson and the name of his company he said ace and associates it took me five times but he finally gave me an address and i asked him for the number to the debtor he gave me a number but it was to him and indian acsent was suddenly gone speaking very clear trying to be the loan company and finally he admitted it was him and hung up. I called back and he said he no longer wanted my money.lol He then wanted me to stop calling I told no problem the police officer i was just speaking to will call instead the number was disconnected by that night. The secound time he called i just hung up it was the same guy this was in may and besides he said the last time he was taking me to court but still nothing happen. This time 2 women called MS. Garcia and MS. Enzo who refuse to give me first names, they called one right after another with the same store as the man threating to garnish my wages for 25% because i sign a wavier and she could do it with that. Which is a lie I called my Human Resource Lawyer and he said that the wavier is permission that you gave and can be revoke permission by sending a letter to your payroll and saying you no longer give permission. He also said that they are two different things and a garnish is through court only and they would have to file a complaint and then you would be notify and then you would go to court and their would have to be a judgement against you and even then theirs still a few more steps to it! through out the whole process you should be notify by your payroll if they get the notice and by the court, and the company excuting the notice. So this time i told the ladies take me to court my lawyer and the police officer can't wait to meet them needless to say they were done talking to me and i told them not to contact any more by phone and only by mail. But they never do they only only call and threat you. Get some protection if they have any of your info i have lifelock and it well worth my piece of mind next I am changing my phone number because am sick of the calls be side it a cell any way. If you have a land line change it and then make it private. if they have your bank info close that acount and start a new one if they have your driver licence go to the dmv and put an alert on it !! but most of all call the police make a report, and call the company they claim to be colleccting for and make sure your not in their system and report them to the companys fraud department because most likely they are looking to catch them too. hope it helps

thank you for the advice these guys have been calling my job and home and i had no ideal what to do about them i just knew it was a scam since i had never taken out any loan other than mortage for the house

I received a call today from a Ms. Jarrett from DNI Recovery with the same threats, they have a garnishment for my wages and I needed to contact her back. I called back and was very nice on the phone, she started getting nasty with me, I told her I was not getting nasty with her, that she needed to provide me with the phone number to this Elite Cash, she said she didnt have it, I said well if they assigned it to you then someone there must have the phone number, I told her to fax or mail me the info about this garnishment, she said I have it all in my records. I told her I did not, she told me yes I do, I was like really, you know what I have at my house? I kept asking for the information, she said she gave me everything, the creditor sent stuff to me. I told her no they didn't and I would like proof in writing about this, what I signed, she said you did it online and clicked yes to it. I said ok fine if I did it online there must be some kind of proof. Then she told me my address, asked me about my social, my references and stuff. This was an interesting conversation. She then got real nasty and told me this was going nowhere and started screaming at me. I hung up. This is at my place of business. I have called the number 877-855-1624 about 5 times since and I get a machine.

Last week i got a call from a Ms Garcia from DNI Recovery regarding a payday loan from 2005. I had a number of payday loans then and thought that I had paid them off. I asked for particulars and she told me that she could only release them once I made payment arrangements. She also told me that once I did make the arrangements - either a lump sum payoff by a specified date in August or monthly payments starting in last August. I would then avoid court costs or wage garnishment. i can't afford either one of those and I panicked and gave her my debit card number.
I called back the next day to follow up to see if the payment arrangements had been approved (she told me I would get a confirmation e-mail) and she told me that they would discuss it over the weekend and I would then get an e-mail. I called yesterday and left a voice mail message and again today and left another message and no one has called back so far.
So far my checking account is safe but I am obviously concerned. Any one have any ideas what I should do? You can e-mail me at:rottweilersdad@yahoo.com
I can't afford a lawyer and am not sure what I should do.

Again, I received a call from DNI 877-855-1624, this time it was the check fraud division, doing an investigation on a FEDERAL LEVEL. Can't wait for the next excuse.

This is is all bogus. Let me educate you. If you have a payday loan and stop paying it before you are done satisfying your contract agreement, they will sell you account to someone else to collect hidden fees you never knew about. I have gone through the same thing. I had not paid on my original loan in about 10 months when I got this call. But I called my original lender and found my balance due was $95. Yes $95. It was hard for me to believe that they still had a balance left for me in their office since it had been outstanding since October 2009. Well needless to say, once I call the original lender then call DNI Recovery back, I was advised that my account had been forward back to the original lender. That was only because I kept calling and asking for proof of what they received. The could never provide it to me. One thing to ask when they call you is can they provider you with the wage garnishment order via mail or email. If not then it is not real. The address I found on these people is not real. Please do not give these people your banking information because it is free gain for them to do what they want to do with it.

If you gave her your debit card number you need to cancel that card and get a new one.

This number calls me often, leaves a different message each time. First time they were going to arrest my (dead) mother; next it was a check fraud case and they only had 10 days before 'something' happened; today it's about a 'driver license suspension.' All the same place, DNR/DNI Recovery, she mumbles so I can't tell. It's a scam. Ignore them.

Hi I just received a call from a Ms. Perkins at 214-206-8758 and to return her call to 877-855-1624. she says she is from DNI Recovery and that if I don't pay the so called debt I owe, then they will suspend my license. When I ask for documents showing me the debt, she just says that something was sent out and it is to late to repeat the mailings, that I only had 24 hrs. to pay and YES the only way to pay was with a debit card........

I recieved a call from DNI and set up arrangements with one of their reps for 50.00 a month to start on the 27th, so yester i get an email about my payment for 200.00 not going through, the card was being charged by another name, so i looked up the name of the company that tried to charge my card. Called DNI and informed them that I did not set up anything with them for 200.00 a month and that the payment of 50.00 was to come out on the 27th, she states that their system will not set up arrangments for anything less then 150 a month. After several hours today and yesterday of having a screaming match over a loan that was charged off in 2006, I told then do what you have to do and that once I recieved the summons for garnishment that I would see there rep in court cause I know what I can afford and what I can't.
So now I am going to have my credit card changed due to the cr that I spoke with not telling me the whole truth about what they can take and what they can not. I will be reporting this company to BBS and FTC.

These people have also called me at my work. I did set up a payment arrangment with them and they took 277.00 from my paycheck card, which has been changed and I was given the money back by my card. Which was not my arrangment. They called me again today at work and I told them I was not talking then them at work, then hung up the phone. They called back and told a co-worker that they were going to garnish my wages. I too had paydays loans not paid at least 5 years ago.

OMFG, this is a huge scam, I just had these bastards call me. And they said the company I had supposedly gotten a loan from, and when I called that company they said we don't have a record of you, that's a scam. So then I called the FTC and they said yes they are aware it's a scam and I gave them the info, unfortunately these sons of bitches have my social and other info on me so all the FTC can say is call one of the 3 credit bureau's and put a fraud alert on my social. Why don't they send the FBI to the address they gave me, which btw was the Bolingbrook, IL address. I cannot believe this. Anyone else find another way to get these bastards?

They are a complete scam. Once I mentioned that I was recording the phone calls and forwarding them to the local PD and FBI they hang up. The next day a male called me I told him the same thing and told him the FBI, State Atty, General, and FTC know about them and mentioned to 'real' business name of Ezelle Williams & Associates he hung up. This was back in Dec. and I have heard no more. BTW, I have forwarded all phones calls recordings, returned certified letter they refused, and all other information I have to the local PD, FTC, state AG and FBI. Just waiting for an update now.

I've received multiple calls from D & I Recovery. I went to the BBB and looked up this company. The record on file has a different address then the lady (Ms. Felix) informed me I needed to send her information. The so called company isn't BBB credited. The address on file with the BBB is as follows:

D & I Recovery
319 N. Weber Rd
Schaumburg, IL 60193

The address Ms. Fleix gave me was as follows:

D & I Recovery
319 N. Weber Rd
Suite 153
Bolingbrook, IL 60193

They've told me they'll suspend my license, garnish my wages, etc..... I laughed at the lady on the phone.

What you need to do is let your HR or your boss know this is a scam and these con-artist are trying to get your money. If you can probably let your HR or boss speak to them. The reason why I'm letting you know this.
They also called my job and I didn't give them my information. They would probably try to release all your personal info and want you to give them your credit card or debit card number. Whatever, you DON'T GIVE YOUR INFORMATION!! They cannot garnish your wage you need court orders.
