I received a letter in the mail last year from a Fraud Division in Miami, FL telling me that I wrote a bad check to a place I never heard of. I contacted and they informed me that the check was written 8 years ago. I told them to provide me with proof and they never did.
I then received another from the same company, only this time their location was White Plains, NY near to my home. I told them I would look into it but I wasn't going to pay for a check that I had no knowledge of. They told me to fax whatever information I found to them. I found no information therefore I never contacted them.
Last month I received a letter from Check & Merchant Services telling me that criminal charges were being filed against me for issuance of a fraudulent check. I asked the "Agent" that I was talking to to provide me with more information so I can contact the original bank and they refused to give me the information.
I was going to set up payment being as I really din't remember the check that I wrote to that particular store had bounced, but I also didn't want any negative things on my credit report.
When I called this company to set up payment arrangements, they told me that the paperwork was already sent for processing and I was going to be prosecuted unless the payment was made in full. The didn't do partial payments.
They told me to sent money via Western Union to New Jersey. Something smelled funny so I googled this company and found out that they are a fraud and that they were collecting money and threating people into paying them when the statue of limitations had expired.
These people are not getting a dime from me. Thanks to consumer complaintss.com. The funny thing is, their Miami, FL and White Plains, NY number are the same. The State of Maine as issued a Cease and Desist Order for this company.
