SSM Group & BBB

yes you are.they owe you,not the other way around.now file AG,and FTC complaints against this illegal lender.if they send you to collections then whoever they hire can't collect.why?because pdl's are totally illegal in PA,and garnishment won't happen.file the complaints asap.your AG will do more for you than the BBB as all illegal lenders lie to the BBB.

SSM & UCL are threatening to send my account to collection evev though they owe me over $900 each in overpayments. Got a call today on my voicemail from the 'Federal crime unit' and an 'officer' Robert threatening me (in a thick accent) that I must call them immediately or bad things will happen to me and only God can help me now. Well, it won't be God helping but hopefully the AG and FTC will. The number they gave was 323-786-9000. I've read about these clowns on this site so I'm not worried, just not sure which pdl is involved.

As I wrote earlier, My son received a call from 323-786-9000 I called the # back, A Man answered, not saying the name of the company, I asked who this # was ~ He replied that it was a legal company
I asked where they were located, he said he could not tell me, and then asked what # I called ( stupid ) I TOLD HIM THE # you called my son trying to scam him saying he borrowed
350, And, they had the last 4 of his social, He said location California, but would not tell me where in Cal ~ And ,then told me That he was recording my phone call, I said great because I will be calling the B.B.B and Identity theft on you, he then hung up on me...
What does anyone know about these ppl ?
I plan on taking action ASAP, Makes me sick in these times we are having, that, there are scum ppl, like these, out there scamming... As you can tell I am very upset, any info, anyone has please respond to my message, would really appreciate...
Worried Mom.... Please respond..Thank You.

as paul said, file reports asap to the attorney general's office and the FTC. the BBB helps in warning consumers for bad companies but do not really get involved enough to help settle something like this.

Everyone relax, these jokers are the bottom of the barrel collectors. They are not even third party collectors because outstanding paper has been sold and resold over and over again. Many times these "professional collectors" do not have all of the accurate information, so they start calling all over the country looking for people with the same name or address and they start harrassing them. Trying to scare them into sending money. They got my name mixed up with some other guy years ago and every five or six months - I get a new "officer" calling me telling me he is I'm in big trouble and to get in touch with my lawyer because I'm going to need them. You can research companies like this all over the internet and most of them are already under investigation for violation of the FDCPA - Fair Debt Collections Practices Act - which I have studied and worked by for over 30 years. These people give good collectors a bad name and I genuinely wish I could do something to stop them. I have recorded their conversations many times and I'm just waiting for someone to step over a line that they shouldn't, then the hard part will be trying to locate these guys because I won't know which rock to look under. Don't worry about them.

These people have been harrassing me at my work for over 2 years.. I get calls from them every few months threatening me tell me that something bad is going to happen to me and that only God can help me.. When they first started calling me I acutally thought I owed something but they failed to and still fail to produce an acutal invoice for my apparent debt. One of the callers yelled at me so loud that I hung up on him, he then called me back apologizing and then told me that he would be willing to pay half of my debt on his personal credit card all I had to do when wire him the remaining balance.. I have over 50 voicemails from these people that they are all the same.. Very thick accents and very threatening.. I have filed claims with the BBB and the FTC but the calls just dont stop. The call today was from an officer Mike Scott with the Financial Crime Department called from 323-786-9000... They have even gone as far as leaving the threatening voicemails on the main line voicemail at my place of employment, they call and yell at the recptionist if I dont answer the line.. I have repeatedly given them my personal cell phone number but they refuse to call it they keep on calling my work line.. There has to be a way to stop these people, I just dont know what else to do, I dont know if the next step is contacting my local poilce department which seems drastic but they have to stop.. Any other suggestions?
