owing money to advance cash services

Complaint

Country: United States
I received an email from a Matt Williams of ACS Legal Group claiming I owe Advance Cash Services $529.00. I know this is bogus because I never got a loan with advance. It has threatened me with a lawsuit if not paid within 2 days. I do have pdls with other companies and am working with a debt solution company to pay them off. These scumbags need to be caught thrown in jail and the key thrown away. They prey on innocent people and need to be punished severly.

    I received one from a Brenda Tucker from brenda.tucker@thompson-law-group.com. It said the exact same thing from Advance Cash Services. LEGAL GROUP OF ATTORNEYS. No address, no telephone number, nothing, just a loan number and money pack information. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!! I almost did.

    This is the letter I received from them.  They sent me this letter with no name attached.  I never borrowed any money from Advance Cash America.  So, I told them I will wait for the authorities to come and get me...

    LOAN INFORMATION

    Due Amount- $1224.98

    Loan Company- Advance Cash America

    You are going to be legally prosecuted within a couple of days. Your Social Security Number has been marked as Red Flag by US Government, so before something goes wrong we would like to notify you about this matter.

    Now, this means a few things for you. If you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your superior or manager what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name.

    If we do not hear from you within 48 hours of the date on this e-mail, we will be compelled to seek legal representation from our in-house attorney.

    I have been getting these messages and calls as well. I just ignore them. After going through this for about the 50th time, I've had enough. A couple things to point out about this [***]. Look at the email address they are using - adavanecash@gmail.com - first off advance is spelled wrong. Secondly, reputable pdl companies DO NOT use gmail accounts nor do lawyers. Any pdl that I may have had in the past, for which I needed to contact, the company was in the email address for instance - customerservice@rapitalcapital.com, same for lawyers - my lawyer's is rwssl.com, those letters are the the call letters of their office. Secondly, if they are going to serve you, they don't send emails or call. Nor do they show up at your place of employment unless you actually did have a court date and didn't show up and the judement was against you and you haven't paid. How do I know this? I was served two years ago, for an upaid bill and I was served at my home and because I wasn't there, they left a card telling me to call, they did not show up at my place of employment. I did call them and they came to my home and served me. Thank god all that is behind me and my bills are paid and I'm pretty much debt free. 2nd point, most pdl do not use third party venders to collect their debt, nor do they go as far as this, that is not to say they won't, but in general they do not. Thirdly, if you had pdls in the timeframe these scammers are referencing, I suggest you go back to said companies and make sure your in good standing with them. That is what I did. I pulled my statements for the time frame they told me was in question (though they couldn't tell me a company or exact date of deposit, which is horse [***] because if they are collecting a debt, they should know who it's for, how much was originally given and when it was deposited.They tend not to know any of this. Just a dollar amount, which is bogus) and called every one of those companies and they all told me that I was in good standing. So, before you think it's real, do some research and you will more than likely find out it's not.

      I feel your pain. This ACS Legal Group has been harassing me with their emails now for about a year. I have about had enough of them. I am not a judge but these people don't know whom they are picking on. I truly hope God takes over and God will take care of His people and keep them from this type of thing.

    I am getting bombarded with threatening emails from ACS. The "legal rep" is Louis Tomlinson. Lol. One direction band member, I think it is. I did take out a payday loan back in Jan.of 2012. I paid it to one of these harassing characters. They called my work and told my receptionist that the fbi was coming to arrest me the following day if I didn't pay up. I'm beyond livid at how they can get away with this!!! So I paid, knowing damn well I was wrong to ever get a payday loan. My interest was like300% and I owed triple what I borrowed. Needless to say, apparently I paid the wrong person and became a victim of fraud. Now, this ACS company is harassing me, this Louis Tomlinson character. What do I do, now?????

    I got a call the other day  and on my phone the number was 911+. Kevin Williams your state police. That's as far as he got on my phone. I hung up. What he doesn't realize is the fact that the only state police in Ohio is the State Highway Patrol. I went to the local post and reported this to them. Why can't we get these scumbags, if in fact we can send a man to the moon but can't catch these criminals. Thanks for your time.

    I wanted to add another problem I had as well. JohnsonJohnson and Associates. They tried to get money out of me but were unsuccessful. I argued the fact about a payday loan I has supposedly put on a NetSpend Card. She was nice and polite about telling me if I didn't pay it I would be legally prosecuted for check fraud. So I went to work and got statements from NetSpend. They did come back clear for the time and date the woman indicated. I was cleared of the debt.

    Received the same message--They have also been harassing me.  Sent an email, notifying ACS, I have reported them to the FTC, FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation. I have never taken out a loan with this group!.  Extortion!  Any legitimate agency needs to produce documentation of loan.  No such documentation!

    These clowns have called and emailed me for months with their silly threats. I answered the phone and ripped the guy a new one and he sounded like he was going to cry-what a sissy. They are praying for people to blindly pay them money without doing any research and coming to the realization that they're a huge fraud. I will be taking legal action just because they're terrible people. Normally, I would not waste a second on stuff like this, but I will enjoy watching them pay.

    I just received one of these from james_walterhenson@outlook.com.

    I have taken out a payday loan but it is paid in full and I know it. The email was not even signed, lol! See below:
    ________________
    Attention,

    If you are not willing to work with us, then very soon the case file will be downloaded against your name and social as after giving several notifications, we did not get any response from your side. We will consider that you are ignoring this matter and you want to dispute.

    If we do not receive any response from your side by today, then this case file will be downloaded automatically against your name and social. After that we are unable to help you and you will receive court summons at your door steps.

    Do update us with your intention that you want to resolve this case or you want to dispute.

    Regards,
    ________________

    That was it, no details or anything. Since reading this blog and details about other people, I am sure that it is from this ACS group and I will block them and I don't think I have received any calls. What a nightmare for some of these other people. Thank you for starting this for others to know and to be educated.

    I've gotten an email 2 times and they said I owed 2 different amounts in both emails. I've never heard of these pricks and I'm not giving them any info on me. If they know so much about me then why would they ask. Really,[***]. They also called me 1 time already. So if they know anything about me then they would know I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy . It's a scam so don't give any info.

    I have been getting these emails for some time now and yes I did have payday loans that were paid through national credit adjusters. As I have spoke to them they assured me that these are scams. They will not contact you by email it will be by phone or mail and they are not allowed to threaten us or like they are telling me that they are going to put a warrant out for me which will be sent to my employer and my local police department the number that I have gotten this time is 209-790-3900 no answer or voicemail this is supposed to be ACS lawyer and when I did respond to an email with my concerns of them being scammers he said no problem I will contact you through your police department his name is Jonathan Rue and he wouldn't give me the name of his law firm I did a reverse email and phone look up and I saw a picture of an old building with s for sale or rent sign on it hmmmm. What your thoughts on this?

    Dear Customer,

    We don't appreciate your negligence on this account and if you do not want to make resolution on this account with us regards your case file then we do apologies.

    Should further action be taken, We will file suit against you for defamation of credit;  relief under the FDCPA,  breach of signed agreement and request payment of our attorney fees and costs and statutory penalties.

      I received a similar email. This is a scam that's been going on for years. I have a legal background and have extensive familiarity with the FTC and the FDCPA and these "emails" violate both. Here is what I sent back to them:

      To whom it may concern:

      You have neglected to provide me with a written validation notice (through the USPS), which must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor owed, (which I hereby refute and state empathically I do not owe nor have ever owed) written verification of the debt and any contract/agreement bearing my signature and my rights under the FDCPA.  Subsequently, you have failed to provide a valid street address to which I can respond in writing to tell you to STOP contacting me and again reiterate that no such debt is owed. This "form" of correspondence in and of itself negates the email you have sent. This action confirms that this "email" is not legitimate nor is it legal. Additionally, attorney Brook please provide me your bar license number and State of authority in which to act as an attorney; as it is ILLEGAL to represent oneself as such.

      Further, pursuant to the FTC you are in violation of
      § 807. False or misleading representations

      § 808. Unfair practices

      And

      § 809. Validation of debts

      As such my legal representative will start the process available under the FTC pursuant to § 813. Civil liability; against you and your client.

      Lastly, please be advised that my legal representative will not only be contacting the FTC, but also the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Attorney General of Michigan providing them any and all information necessary for sanctions and/or criminal/civil action to be taken against you and your client.

      Regards,
