This must be a store front loan? Theft of services? You might look on your county's website, I would also call the original creditor. Send them a certified return receipt letter with an agreement to make payments (what you can afford), you might also include a good faith payment, I would give them a money order and not use a personal check with your account number on it. IF it does go to court, at least you will have proof you were trying to make amends.

it was NOT a store front...it was online, tendollar payday loans... does that make a difference???...i will try to find contact info for them...thanks

There are ways to spoof the caller-ID. They might have spoofed the sheriff's phone number so that it would look like the sheriff was calling.......

Generally, the sheriff's dept does not take payments for a debt, or even discuss the account at all. In civil matters, their only job is to serve summons when a complaint is filed with the court, or to otherwise carry out orders by the court.

This sounds hokie.

I googled the number and it actually came up on this site as Check & Business Services 866-841-2555 so it is collection agency.

I looked up tendollarpayday on the NE database but I did not find anything. I am thinking they are not legal and maybe the collection agency is not legal which would account for their rude behavior. You can call just to make sure at 402-471-2171.

I doubt the sheriff would play messenger service for a collection agency.

They wouldn't play messenger and they certainly would not call in advance to inform a person of a summons. Snap a picture of the Caller ID and save that recording. It may be a $1000 lottery ticket.

I agree...I think they might've spoofed the sheriff's #...it all sounds suspicious...I would call the sheriff's department directly...get the number from your phone book (if they still make those!)

I believe tendollarpayday is affiliated with MTE...

the number on my caller id was 402-599-2600

i did look on the neb website and could not find tendollar payday or MTE licensed in nebraska

Hi traci0222,

Yes, that is the Douglas County Sheriff's number. But since this is absolutely NOT a criminal matter, the number is probably spoofed. If so, that IS a crime. I agree with desperatelyseekingsanity, call the Sheriff's office and double check. And I also agree with NASCAR_Devil, you have $1000 coming to you for 1, not to mention, if they spoofed a Sheriff's office, that is probably a criminal matter so things could be VERY bad for tendollarpayday. Go get 'em!

And "theft of services" is a totally bogus charge. These people have a lot of nerve....

I called the sheriffs dept and there is NOT a summons for me. They didn't even call me I have the caller I'd but did not save the voicemail. What should I do now?

Since they are using spoof tricks I would report them to your law enforcement as well as the attorney general.

They are illegal.

You can go here and learn more about dealing with illegal lenders.

I'd also take a picture of the caller id with the sheriff's phone number as evidence.

Not to mention, file a complaint with the FTC and your state Attorney general, definitely.

So how much did you pay, and how much did you borrow, on the original debt?

Thanks for all the help.

Chrys,

The original amount borrowed was 300 (according to the man i spoke to the other day at the CA) the total owed now is 475....I honestly dont remember what i paid...it was more than3 years ago....i dont think i paid any on the original loan, but i know i kept extending it for maybe 2 or 3 months so i did pay all the "interest" during that time.

Hi,

Since they are an illegal company you only morally owe the principal. You have more than likely paid it, and it's been 3 years, so I'd say let them eat cake.

File those complaints, and when they call again, tell them you have filed complaints against them for their illegal tactics, they are never to call you again, and just ignore them.

If it shows up on your credit report, dispute it with the credit reporting agency, but it's doubtful it will. They will not take you to court, they will lose.

Same thing happeded here, they called me at work saying they were with my county, said they were going to be serving me, then said I received my original paper work right? I said no, they said well then I can save you a lot of money and hassle, Ill transfer you to the ones you owe. It was "Department of check and business services" so I asked for their number he gave me the 866-841-2555, I put him on hold called the # and they said they were located in NY.
So it is definately a collection agency. If they are spoofing their #....BUST them! I dont have caller ID at work.

I had them send me something, they just sent through email a typed out agreement letter for payment. No letter head, and it was sent from a gmail email address [email]northeastern.financ@gmail.com[/email] Interesting that this business doesnt have an actual domain.

Great idea!!! Send money to a company that uses free email!!!

almost the same kind of email address that a loan scammer from the UK would use.
