Cash Advance USA PCS Payday loan scam claiming money owed to Cash Advance USA New York, New York

1st of May, 2011 by User753944

The SCAM lives! The past couple of weeks I have been getting phone messages at home and work from a "Carl Peterson" or "Jack Williams" with a heavy Indian accent. The company is called Public Credit Services 347-292-8536 (Fax 646-224-9593) based in New York, NY. They claim I owe $300.00 to Cash Advance USA, an internet payday loan company. Last summer I did get 1 loan each from Ameriloan and Star Cash Processing which were deposited in my bank and then REPAID IN FULL over the course of 6 months. I have my bank and loan company records to prove it. This company, Public Credit Services claims to represent Cash Advance USA for unpaid loans and threatens lawsuits if not paid. I asked them to send me a copy of the original contract (which I have) I signed or a phone number of Cash Advance USA to verify their claim. He refused, claiming they were the contact agency. I'm guessing now, but somehow they got my information including my social security number from an online application. Stupid of me to put it out there, I know. I called Star Cash Processing today to see if they were connected to them or knew anything about about them. The girl I talked to said they were aware of this and it's a SCAM!! I gave her all the information I had and she was filing a fraud complaint to stop these guys. She said Homeland Security was also involved in tracking these scammers down. She said that the next time they call to tell them that you know it's a SCAM and your reporting them to the police.

Fraud and deception is not the kind of risks that customers are intended to run when using credit of any sort. Unscrupulous individuals are trying all sorts of methods, including payday loan collection scams, to try to bilk individuals out of money. Make sure you watch out for <a title="With An Installment loan Payback Is Easy" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/installment-loans/">installment loan</a> collection frauds inside your area.

I've also been caught for putting my info out there. A man by the name of "Spencer Mackenzie Jr" told me that if I don't pay the out of court charges which is $498.00 that they are going to sue me for over $2000.00. Now at the time I became a bit nervous because I took out an online loan from united cash loan for $300.00. I was a day late on repaying back and thought that it was their collection agency calling me. What made me a bit concerned over this was when I looked at the forms they sent me to fax back, there were no dates on any of the forms. For a form to be legally binding it should have a date when everything occur. At this moment i am trying to call them and all i am getting is wrong numbers or a busy signal. What collection company would do this. (besides the scammers) Collection companies have people around the clock to make sure every phone call is answered.

I have been getting these calls for over a year now. The calls will go on for about a week and stop for 30-45 days and start up again. Each time they start over they have a new name, etc.. When they do start I call the FTC and log a complaint (877) 382-4357. Logging the complaint with the FTC seems to help, when I do log the complaint the calls stop for a while.

I have also recieved a calls from a Jack Williams. Unfortunatly they have all my banking information. The number they call from is 347-380-8980. When called back they answer can I help you. Wierd. Jack Williams is never available but his supervisor is. Not sure who to report this too. They send payment via email forms to sign and fax back regarding payments. I guess I will need to go to my bank and stop this.

I have been receiving calls from a David and a Sam Johnson at my home and my work, when i ask them with whom this loan is suppose to be with then hang up and call right back they have called all over the building over 20 times last night to my work. they tell me it was for $300.00 but i need to pay $500.00 when i ask if i can send thur money gram or give me a acct number they hang up. they told me i was fraud and they did not care they will keep calling my work and make me loose my job. They told me to go and get a money pak voucher and call them back do not scratch it off until i call them, if i have an outstanding bill or loan why can't i have the information and why do i have to use my debit card or bank account they i can not wire it if I was to pay why can't i send by Money gram or Quick collect to be able to track it. phone # 347-933-6008, they sound like Indian accent.
