Last week I received a cash loan through a company called Advanced Cash USA otherwise known as CashNetUSA. The loan was to be paid in full this Friday (8/5). However, I received a very disturbing call from a company calling themselves "The Jackson Law Firm". They were very unprofessional and I seriously doubt they are a "Law Firm" of any kind. Mr. Kenneth Fern (really doubt that Mr. Fern would have an Arabic accent) left a voice message for me on my cell phone stating I must call to find out about a legal lawsuit (are there illegal lawsuits?) filed on my social security number which will result in the contact of my employer and bank in order to collect a debt that has not been repaid. He told me he would read the affidavit filed in a court in New York to me, if I did not interupt him while he was reading. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep silent during his affidavit reading and after demanding the name of this company filing a lawsuit against me which would cause the Federal government to investigate my SS# immediantly (whatever that means). He kept the name secret as only Mr. Jackson - the "Attorney" for "The Jackson Law Firm" and his boss, of course would be able to reveal the name to me. So, I was transfered to Mr. Bryan Jackson (another strange name for an Indian gentleman - and I use this term loosely). Mr. Jackson told me he was an "Attorney by trade"? And the Advanced Cash USA had filed a legal lawsuit against my SS# for non-payment. Knowing, I had only, this once, been weak enough to request cash in this manner and the loan was not due yet. He proceeded to tell me that they had tried to withdraw the money but were unable to, therefore the lawsuit. Now I'm really mad and demand details from Mr. Jackson or something in writing. At this point he tried to assure me that if I just gave authorization to him to withdrawn the money due, all would be well. The loan was surely not the new loan but it was, he believed from February of this year. So, I hung up and called CashNetUSA. I was told this was not their doing and transfered to the consumer complaint department to leave a message, as they were closed but there would be an investigation. So, we'll see. And I'm still mad. The moral to this story is don't borrow money, ever, this way. I'll let you know if Mr. Fern or his boss the "Attorney" calls again or CashNetUSA (who assure me they do not give out my info) complaint department calls back.
