This place has called unlisted home phone number, cell phone, family members and even neighbors. The message they left was they are with processing department my social is associated with criminal activity and if they don't hear from me today the will service me at my place of employment and home. They are calling from three seperate numbers 866-595-8876,505-234-7734 and 408 area code. They said I owed cash call $6800.00, I told this lady  I had borrowed that in 2007 but it was on for 3,000.00 and I had been paying on it from 2007-2012. She said I need you to verify your social, I said no I need you to verify this bill is valid. She got very mad. I called cash call they never heard of this place they gave me a number they sale there accounts too. Called them and about 3 hours later a company called Delware Asset called Sarah. She never hear of the lady that called me and stated I only had a few hundred to pay that I had made 94% of the loan . She said they never say anything about having papers servers etc....she was going to research this.

    Profile is typical of a common fraudulent "debt collection" shakedown racket.

    These scams prefer to call relatives, neighbors, or coworkers, to create the appearance that they are trying to "serve papers" in some fake "lawsuit".  It's all an act, designed to convince you to call back in a panic to "settle" this unknown "debt" without any proof you owe it.

    Real debt collectors don't play these illegal games.  
    They would get sued for violating FDCPA.

    The fakes do it all the time, never send the FDCPA required "g" letter to notify you that you can dispute the debt and request proof, and generally use any illegal tactic they can dream up to evade validation.  To run these shakedowns without getting sued or prosecuted, they depend on keeping their lies on the phone, and splitting the deception between the phony "process server" callers, and the "closer" who cons you when you call back in a panic.  They are part of the same racket, probably calling from the next desk, though they will claim the "process  server" doesn't work for them.  They also hide their location, using VoIP to hide their real identity and area code, never give out a real address, often not even a mail drop, and probably shield their assets from liability through layered LLCs.

    Just a bunch of liars and swindlers running a shakedown.

    Illegal collection tactics, such as abuse, or harassment, any deception, or any attempts to evade FDCPA required validation, are fraud indicators.  For fraud to be successful, they have to push you accross the line from just maybe starting to believe their line of BS, to actually being intimidated enough to pay them real money.  That takes threats and abuse, so fraudulent collection typically becomes extortion.

    Delaware asset management is a company that finds debt on a national report. They are not hired by anyone to collect the debt. If they do for some reason collect they get to keep a percentage of the debt and pay the rest to the company they collected for. They have no legal right to this debt and cannot do anything to you legally or otherwise. If you tell them to stop the phone calls and they do not, call the local complaint board and tell them you are doing so. They have been sued in many courts but do not answer the lawsuits or pay the judgments they were sued for.
    I find it amusing they have debt on lawsuits they don't pay but are aggressive in trying to collect debt from someone else.
    I have had them call me a loser and tell me to pay my f***ing bills.
    I think they should follow their own advise.

      Pulling credit reports, when they don't already have an assigned or owned debt as permissible purpose, is a violation of FCRA.  Using such information to attempt to get money, again without any assigned or owned debt, is simply fraud.

      File complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General.

      They are running a fraudulent "debt collection" extortion racket.
      All these shakedown scammers are liars.
      It's not worth losing any sleep.

      Doesn't sound like you believe any of this "western sky" "payday loan" BS, but FTC sued them:
      http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1123023/

      A bunch of state AG's have sued them as well.  It looks like Cash Call was trying to use "tribal sovereignty" to attempt to evade state lending regulations.

      Thank god I'm not the only one getting called from robert ross! He called and left 2 messages saying I have some kind of criminal fraud and I will get in trouble saying I am avoiding cour and that I may get a warrent for arrest....had me so confused because I just recently bought a house and had been workinv on restoring my credit. And the bad thjngs on my credit had been removed because there were duplicates fir the same bill....I believe when disputing something on my credit they have to send u proof u own them and they have 30 days. This info gives me relief that this happens and its not what they say it to be. My husband had got a call at work from someone and told them to send proof because they threatened to serve papers at work they never sent any info regarding this debt and never called back

      Typical shakedown.. replies to CH
      They ALWAYS try to call a relative, to maximize the panic and embarassment.
      They NEVER provide any information on the alleged "debt", and they hide who and where they are.
      All that says is "scam".

What do i need to do?

    I received two phone calls in the past two days one from someone with an Indian accent and today from some woman named Lisa Perkins stating that I need to contact as soon as possible in regards to some allegations against me.  The funny thing is I received a phone call from them back in march spewing the same nonsense.  I told her I wanted something in writing stating that I owed this debt and she refused.  I did report them to the FTC and I guess nothing came of it .  I just don't pay them any mind.  I know what I owe and I am not going to be intimidated by these people.  If I actually owe anything they will notify me in the proper way but I already know its a scam

    I have had several calls from this company! Very threatening!  I said I wanted a hard copy of something for me to read, she stated that she had a processor in route to serve me at work, but if I paid her $537 over the phone it could be cancled. Today when she called back, I told her I was recording this call. She hung up.

    I am receiving the same calls from these scumbags. At first I was a little rattled because I do owe for a pay day loan. The first person that called me was Kelly. I believe that she is bi-polar because one minute she talks nice to you and the nest she turns on you. I initially made arrangements with her but broke them and she was highly pissed off. She began to call my work phone (because that's the only number that they have on me) back to back. She left three messages on my work phone, called the operator of my job and was talking crazy to her. She then demanded to speak to Human Resources. I have never known a bill collector that wanted to speak to Human Resources asking what was the procedure of serving papers on the job. It was explained to them but they never showed up. Fast Forward a couple of days later I get a call from someone who didn't leave a message and had an accent saying that if I don't call the number that was given she would come out to my job. She also said that she had came to my home on Friday to serve me and sat outside my door for about fifteen minutes waiting to see if I would open my door because she could hear us in the house. How I knew it was a lie was because I was at work Friday which is the same day that Kelly was calling me leaving messages and harassing my co-workers and my children were at school. And even if we were at home there is no way possible that she could have heard us, I have upstairs in my home and that's basically where we are most of the time. So, when I called the number back (855-974-6416) I told them to go ahead and send the papers Im waiting on them and then the person that I spoke to this time Gwen Flowers asked me are you sure you don't want to just pay the money? Red flag for me....they also mentioned they had me recorded giving them a prepaid card (that has no money on it..lol) they are going to serve me on my job which also dawned on me I have been served on my job before and neither time did they give me a heads up call to tell me that they were coming they just showed up.

    I received a call saying I had used my ss # and they were going to file charges on me. Never been to that place and never lived around dfw area. I have not received papers from anyone saying I owe this debt. They wanted me to send them a payment that day and it would be taken care of. I refused to pay it and she hug up on me.
