I recently received a call from Lisa Plish? At 1-800-673-7429 X202 advising me that she was from the "Bureau" and they myself or my attorney needed to contact her today regarding a matter. When I was finally able to get through to her she advised me that she was from the above company and that if I didn't have an attorney I needed to get one because FTR, a payday loan company, was going to take legal action against me.
A withdrawal had come back for insufficient funds & they were telling me that I committed fraud. I advised her that I had tried to contact the company before the withdrawal & they never responded to me. She advised that she had tried to contact me several times & had even left a message with my "son", at which point I advised her that I don't have any children. She thought this was strange, then she proceeded to tell me that she wasn't trying to collect any funds from me, but that it looked very bad for me because of the returned item.
She said she couldn't guarantee anything, but she could "try" and see if they would let me make restitution because I seemed like a nice person. She put me on hold, then came back to advise me that I owed $520, when I questioned the amopunt she advised me that I should have read my contract closer. When I advised her that I didn't have that kind of money, she asked me point blank how much I had. When I told her the amount I could pay, she said that she didn't think they would accept that & put me on hold again.
When she cam back she asked if I could borrow another $150 from someone & that they money would need to be paid by 5:00 today. I told her I didn't think so, but I could try. SHe gave me 1/2 hour & said she would call back. She never cakked back & I have since learned from another website that this company is a spin off of Ellis, Crosby & Assc in Florida. Apparently they opened another company after the original had to declare bankruptcy.
Judging by the posts on the website I found, they have contacted numerous people in the last few. Days. Since reading the posts on the website I have since filed a report with the FTC & Attorney General in FL. They like to threaten legal action & try to bully you into paying more than what you owe.
