Thank You usacomplaints.com. Thanks to your reports I was warned before making a potentially serious mistake!
On 18Dec06 Certegy Payment Recovery Services sent me three collection letters demanding $797.08 for checks written 30Nov06 to three retail stores. Using the Internet I learned two of the stores are located in Pasagoula, MS (with the 3d being another Sears store 20 miles away).
At first I though this may be an identity theft but it could easily be an attempt to obtain my personal information by prompting me to request a "forgery affadavit" from CPRS. A forgery affadavit includes your SSN and driver's license number.
Please note: I was not in Pascagoula last month or any other time. I have never been there before. I have never owned any checks matching the check numbers reported by CPRS. My bank has no knowledge of these alleged transactions. Also I have not made any transactions with these retailers even in my home state (cash, check, charge, in-person or online).
Please note: I am suspicious because CPRS does not include your checking account number (or driver's license number) in their mailings.
I will be submitting the CPRS letters to the local district attorney's office and US Post Office.
