Never even applied for a loan from this company. Seen all their late night ads on TV and read loads of reports regarding their ruthless tactics.
A few months ago, I started getting strange unidentified calls (no call ID) and the voice mail messages were from some person at Cash Call. The names were never the same and whenever I called back, I was never able to talk with whoever left the message. I told them I didn't know what this was about and I believed they had the wrong number and me confused with someone else. I have a pretty common name.
Then my friends and family began to get the calls too. Next was my job and then followed by emails.
Obviously they got a lot of my personal information. So I did some research and found out they are just one of these fly-by-night cash loan companies and their strong arm collection tactics were well documented.
So I have since changed jobs (luckily my employment was a temporary contract) and phone number. My friends and family are ignoring the calls and their emails have been listed as spam and get filtered.
So I called them again and this is the weird part. They found the file and told me how much I allegedly owed, but when I asked for all the supporting documentation, they refused to provide me with anything. They never said no, but just kept changing the subject. When I asked to speak with a manager, I got the same runaround.
One time I asked to speak to a manager, the girl thought she placed me on hold and I could hear her asking a co-worker "Do you have a second to play manager with this jerk I have on hold?" When I asked for the manager's name, I was told his name was Bob and when I asked for a last name and a mailing address, he refused to give it to me and began to get really rude.
So ignoring them is fairly easy, but bothersome and what I suspect is that they are running a nice little call center with everyone pretending to be whoever they want to be. My "loan" is just a scam so they are not getting a penny from me.
After reading about so many others who are getting slammed with 100% interest, I can only figure that even if they only collect from a few people, the gains more than cover the losses.
Please be very careful with Cash Call and just stand firm.
