I too have had the privlidge of dealing with these criminals! The "investigator" who called me went by the name of Jane Tucker. She demanded I pay her over $1700 for a supposed $300 payday loan from 2012, which I never took out! She told me I had until Friday, yesterday to pay a "settlement" amount of $935, or "legal paperwork" would be sent out....to whom i wonder! I work with a sheriff's deputy, and I told him about it, and he laughed and asked me if they speak English? These people have called my father to get my contact information because they didn't have my phone number! For Pete's sake, do these idiots think we're all drinking the same kool-aid they are?! This Arthur King person called my dad yesterday saying i didn't make payment so he was having me arrested. My daddy said, well ok, but please tell me what collection agency you represent, and please give your address and business license number, "Arthur King" then began yelling at my father telling him that if I don't pay he will have to! Daddy calmly again asked him for the information again, and he screamed at him he did not have to tell him anything and promptly hung up on him. All the area codes for numbers they call from are from different states. I too have filed complaints with the FBCP, the BBB of Atlanta, who said if they call again, to give them their contact number & hang up, ic3.gov, the Georgia Secretary of State, the TN Bureau of consumer protection, and basically anywhere else I can think of. People like these need to be shut down! I told the "investigator" Jane Tucker, if I had verification of the debt then I'd make a payment arrangement, but until I see something that is REAL validation of the debt, I'm not giving them a red cent. At this point, if they don't leave me alone, they're going to have to pay me for violations of FDCPA. I left Ms. Tucker a nice lengthy message on Friday after this Arthur King called my father & told her that I recorded the phone call, that they had broken the law, and that they may not contact me in any form or fashion other than US mail. Let's see if I get anymore phone calls, because if I do, i'm lawyering up. I'm done with these people.
