Sorry to hear that you are being harassed by these criminals.  Contact your local FBI and / or sheriff and report this crime.  Whatever you do, DO NOT pay them money or allow them access to your bank account.  They have either stolen or bought records from cash advance places and are trying to collect on paid off debts. We are not associated with them at all, but they are illegally using our business name.  We are a bankruptcy law firm in Michigan.  Place a fraud alert on your credit report. If you did actually apply for a cash advance, they have your personal and banking information.

If at any time a company says they are going to "sue" you be polite but firm that you can no longer speak with them. When you have the court papers served on you then you will turn the matter over to your attorney and proceed from there. Then have no further conversations concerning the matter. If they call, tell them you are still waiting for a copy of the lawsuit. If they say they have changed their mind tell them you will need that in writing. When you have that you can once again speak to them. If they threaten to have you arrested tell them that you are hanging up and calling the DA's office since that is the office that handles criminal complaints and you want to check with them to see if they have been contacted concerning your situation. Plus you want to ask them about your rights concerning companies that make terroristic threats. These companies bully you because you allow it. Stop allowing it. You still need to pay companies monies that are due them but they do not get the right to abuse you in the collection process.

Where I live this is called blackmail.

or obtaining finacial gain through the use of a credible threat.

Either way I doubt you local Police can do anything but they should know it happened.
