Guess this is just another number to place on my block list. About three or four years ago, a friend of mine who seems to have a difficult time paying her bills took out PayDay Loans and some other similar loans. Apparently the debt has been sold to someone else. This friend of mine gave out my private cell phone number (yes, I was pissed, but I let it go) to these companies (as part of a reference). I already told PayDay Loans and some others that if they would have called me in the first time, before giving the loan, I would have told them the truth, in that, she pays hardly anyone back. I loaned her some money and she has not paid me back. She fretted about it and I told her to forget about it (but I haven't given her a loan since .... if and when I give her a little money, it is for her birthday and is a gift). It has been a long time since I have answered calls that I do not recognize. I let them go to voicemail and erase them during my "free minutes" time. And, Kyle, they have often threatened to have my friend arrested, taken to court, etc., etc. These are what are known as tactics to try to put the fear in you. If they actually had that ability, they would just go ahead and do it. Taking someone to court would be time consuming and it would cost them money. They are not going to do that. While I think people should pay their bills, I believe that they (loan companies such as this and debt-buying companies) are scumbags. These loan companies charge unreal interest and prey on people who are on disability and are ill, etc., etc. They operate on the edge of the law, They should be against the law!
