PDL Recovery Group LLC

If you never received the funds, you don't owe them anything. The next time they call, ask for an address and send them a C&D letter.

I found a website for them...solicitation removed.. try that! I spoke with this company in reguards to a check-n go loan that I defaulted on and they set me up with online payments...

Old post I know, but just got a call from these people regarding a check n go loan. Guy hinted that they would go further, but didn't say much else. Other than that though, was the niecest collection agent I've spoken with so far. Gave me his name and extension, and said he would send out the dunning letter. We'll see how it goes if I get it.

I dont know if payday loan recovery group is something legit. The bbb does not have them anywhere. I get a location and a phone number but no street address. They threaten garnishment of 25% and state that they are a recovery company, not a collections agency so they do not need to send anything in writing. Biggest crock of bull i ever heard. The best part is the alleged delinquent loan is more than one that is 6 yrs old and on my credit report. Can anyone tell me if they are legit???

I also need so me help...A Ms. Cartwright called me from the Pay Day Loan Recovery Group, and I had her send me information...but she said she could only send it to my email. I have Called all of the companies that I have had loans with in the past and they said I have zero outstanding balances....The PDLR is saying I have a creditor called Think Cash, which is an online. I never took a loan out with them, and only filled out an application 2or so years ago, and never received anything. How do I make them leave me alone?
The number they called with is 630-486-1900 and then gave me the 877-601-5871 number. What do I do?

I received a voice message at work today from a Mrs.McGary and she said that I had a debt and they were going to garnish my wages. I called the number she left 877-601-5871 and spoke to Dr. Garza. He said I had received a direct deposit loan from PayDay loans and when they tried to collect direct from my checking account that either the account had been closed or I had stopped payment. He also said that information had been sent to my house and retuned by mail. I never did receive a loan from this company,I have had the same banking account for the last 10 years and also have lived in the same place for the last 10 years and have never returned mail. I asked Mr Garza to give me more information on the alledged loan and was told several differnt vague dates. I offered to get bank statements as proof, if he would tell me what when they supposedly loaned me the money. He said he would send me information on what I needed to get to him. I called back to verify if he was going to mail or e-mail me something and he said he e-mailed it but I didn't get anything. He said he would re-mail after verifying my e-mail address. After about 1/2 hour I received a settlement agreement to sign and agree to pay in 2 days $300.00 as opposed to the $1,008 that I owed them.
I really don't understand how they can garnish my wages just upon their word that they gave me money.
SUGGESTIONS?

[COLOR=black]This is a scam, you don't owe them money, information or even your time. Same thing happened to me today, but this time they threatened to suspend my license! (Only the DMV and a judge have authority to do so, first of many red flags) I've been working with credit agencies for the last 11 years. If you didn't receive anything, you owe them NOTHING. If they continue to harass you tell them to cease and desist. As soon as you say C&D they have to leave you alone. It???s sad but I see this stuff all the time, unfortunately. Hope this helps and good luck![/COLOR]

I just called and asked for a physical street address, I'm sending a C&D letter. Per the woman with no name that answered the phone, "we actually don't have a physical address..."

For anyone that's looking their "address" is: PO Box 2, Aurora IL, 60507

Hey guys someone actually called me from this company too, named Ms. Ingram, she was so rude. The sad part is I actually spoke with her months prior for another debt I had, and I was actually dumb enough to fall for it because she was nice & I know I owed the debt. Now today she was so rude, talking over me. I requested that she send me something in writing & her exact words were "You're not getting anything in writing" lol..then I googled them and it led me to this blog. I called a local paralegal firm in my area and they verified that this is not a real company this is a scam! So don't fall for it, Ms. Ingram threatened to suspend my license, garnish my wages, and but my name on a blog!! lmao. They are such a scam!!

Hey guys make sure you file a complaint against these people, here's the link for the FTC https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/.

i just got the same call from the same woman,

jennifer, ny:confused:

I got a phone from a Mr. Thompson from Pay Day Loan Recovery Group LLC? yesterday telling me the that I had a payday loan that was never paid back and now if I dont pay up they will garnish my checks and possibly suspend my drivers license ? , to me all this sounds very weird. They said that if I didnt settle anything with them they were gonna garnish 25% of my wages. Of course I panic when they said that, and became a bit defensive and explained to them this is the first time i've ever heard from this, I asked them if they had a website to look it up and they said that they didnt because they are just the recovery department that this is not a collection agency. I'am supposed to call him back today cause i asked for an email from them explaining what this exactly is. What scared me the most is that these people have my SS# . what should i do ? any advise :confused:

Pdlr does not even exist. I tried their website - no such thing. They need to get caught1

its a scam they tried to do the same thing to me as well tyrn them in to the goverment to try to shut them down:p

I have just received a call earlier this evening with the same problem. I got a message on my answering machine and called them back. This guy claimed they were collecting from a old Pay Day Loan back from July 2010! :o
I said that cannot be possible; for a $300 loan. The guy claimed that the funds were unavailable at the the time of retrieving the funds! They threaten to garnish my wages' and suspend my drivers' lic. If I did not come up with the $1200 or pay the $395 next Friday. I explained this to a family member and he was furious! He checked on Google and found this website on complaints about this outfit. I have given my debit card number; but called my back and they could not verify that the funds were deposited or debited out of my old checking account. So the bank has canceled the debit/credit card.
These people really need to be stopped! Who do they think they are to harass everyday people. :mad:
Beyond upset.

This a more than likely a scam reply from a person coming from their company to make them seem legit. THIS IS A SCAMMM

I recieved a call from an alleged Justin Shropshire who refused to give me his address and got very upset when i told him that my lawyer will be in contact. He claimed i owe VIP cash money and will garnish my wages if i don't pay. IT IS A SCAM!!!. When i asked him to send me information he stated that he can only send it by email. I contacted the FTC and reported him. I was told that in order for them to garnish my wage it had to be taken to court first. I was also advised to send them a cease ad desist letter.....i was able to find an address for them since he refused to give me one PO Box 783 Amherest NY 14226 dont let these ass holes get away with scam!!!

They called my house again! Jerks! They have this stupid claim number and saying to wish me luck and crap! I am so tired of this mess! I have received a lot of excellent advice from this panel. We need all the support we can get. These people have got a lot of nerve harassing hard working people in this economy. :mad:

I am going to the bank tomorrow morning and check my closed checking accounts' and save my butt.

These all sound so very familiar! Threatened with wage garnishment driver license suspension if I didn't pay. I asked for info regarding who I owed and they couldn't tell me...said that I owed $1620 but would settle for a ONE TIME PAYMENT of $395. The name of Mr. Garza is very familiar but now you can add another...Ms. J. L. Langes. I had no knowledge of a cease & desist letter but I am going to do it today!

Do not pay it! They are a scam

I received a phone call today at work. She said she was from PDLR. She then went on to say that I took out a payday loan, she even knew my bank. I did take one out but that acct was paid in full. she stated they were mediators and if I did not make arragements to pay it off they were going to suspend my drivers license and they were also going to start an immediate 25% wage qarnishment. When I asked what the company was she could not give me one. But she would send them a letter saying I was disputing the loan. I let her know I have all my paperwork and they can go ahead and take me to court. I then called the company where I had the original loan, and they listed there number as being a scam. Thank goodness I did not verify my information with them. Do not talk to these people and do not verify any information with them.

I received a call from these people, but having dealt with a similar group in the past, I checked here first, glad I did, I was not too panicked from having dealt with this before. No one can garnish your wages or suspend your drivers license without a hearing and a judge. Also, the joke is on them because I don't have an employer. HAHA

What's the number?

I received a call from them stating that they received paper work to start wage garnishment. I asked the man for what company and he gave so let's just pick one answer and named off several payday loan companies but could not narrow it down to one. But, he sure got the amount. LOL. After I let him finish I gave him my attorney's name and my Chapter 13 filing number and he said ok, I guess we have to send it back to them. Mighty funny he knew who them was then but could not tell me who them was.:D

:)630-486-1900 will appear on your caller id from Aurora, IL

I received the same type of phone call - they will garnish my wages, suspend my license, and that I needed to settle my amount as soon as possible. I have been in communication with a Miss Weber. They can not take a check, the only thing they will take is a debit card, maybe a credit card too, but I'm not sure if they take a credit card. I called again this morning and both of the numbers I was given 877-601-5871 and 630-486-1900 are no longer in service. Either they have been shut down since I called yesterday, or they are having phone problems, or they forgot to pay their phone bill. Either way, that's a huge red flag. I was not going to pay until I received verification that this was legit. I do have outstanding payday loans, but until I know exactly which one, the originating loan company, etc. I am not going to pay.

I keep getting harassed by this company. Again they threatened to garnish my wages and suspend my license. I told her they could not suspend my license, only the DMV could. She then said "well you must be in a state where they can only garnish your wages." And all along I got told that the loan amount and the settlement amount was $300. I did request for something in writing so I could verify, and the amount on the paperwork said the amount was $1200, but the settlement was only $300. Hmmm...suspicious. And I do not have any outstanding loans for $300, they have all been paid off. And when I pushed back yesterday and said I wanted something in writing she was very rude, kept talking over me. I finally told her to stop so I could talk. She threatened me and said I would have to get an attorney and take this to court. I told her this was not a court matter. The more "facts" I threw at her, the more hostile she got. Like I said, I actually did get something in writing, but the original loan company is not on the paperwork. I replied to the email she sent to me and asked for the original company so I could verify that this was legitimate. I have not received a response to my email, and I doubt I will.

And ok, this was the kicker. They are a LLC company, but yet their email address was a Yahoo email address.

I refuse to pay them. It's obviously a scam. If everyone reported them, they hopefully will be shut down.

You are right. It is a scam. Ignore!

I'm in the same situation, I checked on the three credit companies and they said a pdl loan does not go on your credit report, they also said that a scam with the same number ending in 5871 has been going on for some time.

Thanks for the website to the FTC. I just filed a complaint as everyone who reads about these scammers should do. I don't think PDRL Group really is in Aurora Illinois. But they are running a big scam. Again thanks for the website to the FTC.
