On Thursday April 8, 2010 I received a call stating that I must return their call or else I would suffer the wrath of the law.  This was a notice that if I did not return their call I would be fired from my job and they even knew where I worked.  And their collectors would be at my door in the morning.  Of course this caused me some alarm because I know my family and I have been suffering some financial issues that we were clearing up so it felt like everything was crumbling around me.  I called this number back to find out what it was all about and they started.  Basically calling me a thief and a terrible person who deserved to go to jail for doing something so bad as to default on this payment.  I was concerned because I knew of no payments that were not covered.  When I ask who the creditor was they got angry and just proceeded to go on about how I did not have a leg to stand on and they were just giving me a heads up they were not asking for any money but their attorney would consider settling out of court.  Mark Murphy proceeded to explain that what I needed to do is to write a letter giving them the authorization to charge my debit card for the amount required.  I played along and he told me exactly what to write in the letter.  Then he told me it had to be notorized and I had to include a copy of my drivers license with the fax.  This really was the icing on the cake.  Why would they need my Drivers license and social security number to take to a court house to proceed.  What was the notary for if they had all this other information.  The charges were for $300 plus the $284 in fees.  But funny they never could share the creditor and they slammed me because they said they were emailing me and my spam must have stopped the emails.  Well I have a word for them.  I check my spam for anything that looks important and I never had a deposit or a bounced check on my bank account.


They were to call me back within an hour after he spoke with the attorney and got confirmation that this was approved.  They never called me back. 


The next day however almost to the minute one day later.  This time they finished the message by stating that if I did not return their call I would be fired.  Well in today's economy you do not say that to anyone or even hint about it.  I pay my bills donate money to charities donate my time to support the youth in my church.  I do not need this stuff adding undo stress in my life. 


Do not pay these people if you get any calls until you have seen the information showing that you owe the amount of record.  Legally they can not do anything unless they prove that you owe them.

Your not alone

I was reading your report and then I saw a consumer report to yours that is almost the same as the report I filed. These Instacash people will not stop calling me, last night they called 15 times in 20 mins, and it always comes up as the phone number 0000. They threatoned me with court, calling my friends and employeer, government agencies and so on, but if I pay them they will stop the action taken against me. If the man tells me he has all of my info then why cant he tell me how much money I supposedly borrowed and the name of the company? Big scam, do not give these people anything.

So clearly....this is a scam!!

AUTHOR: lilahsmom - (United States of America)

It is apparent by reading this that I am not the only person who has been a victim of a 3rd party lending site. It is evident that all these people are doing is gathering personal info. from the lending "match" site against you.

 

Today, I received a call (after having received a similar 3 days earlier in the same context). A man named "kevin" had left a message on my phone stating that I needed to contact him IMMEDIATELY as the information was time sensitive. he also stated that i needed my attorney's info and that they would see me in court. After calling to inquire on the nature of it i was told "yes, i will be giving you this information but all I ask is that you do not ask me any questions until I am finished explaining the situation to you" (which tells me that you are reading from a script and dont' have any VALID answers). The next thing that was alarming was that both the gentlemen i spoke with both claiming to be from different companies could be speaking with the same arab accent which was very hard to understand. I was told that I owe $900 to one of the payday loan companies that instacash owns...when i asked which one i was told "i cannot say because this information is in the file at the courthouse"...so how do YOU know I owe $900...instead of answering this question "kevin" proceeded to tell me that I will be served a summons to come to court, will face $5000+ in legal and court fees, plus the $900 and would be subject to time in jail, for which I would have to come up with bail money since I commited "Check fraud" and then he proceeded to ask me a total of 6x did I do this intentionally, have I done this before and if I had judgements on me already. I asked that if this was legitimate then: 1. what proof could they SHOW me, and 2. what arrangements are there? and the answer was that the creditor didn't want any money from me, that they were only interested in legal action, to which i replied "OKAY" and then "KEVIN" says "well, if you are WILLING TO pay, we can accept a fee of half to stop the case" I declined. He said how about 30%, which I declined again. At this point he became upset and said well I guess we'll see you in court, at which I replied "okay" and AGAIN he tries to keep me on the phone and says "this will be much harder if you go to court" and I just said that "IF the courts prove this is a valid debt, THEN i will go from there"

After this encounter, I did some research and found that there is a NEW COLLECTION process that has been started and these people call themselves "debt collectors". They buy outdated and charged off accounts at a cheaper rate, and then use unethical business practices to get hard working people to make a payment as quickly as possible. they claim to be law firms(a scare tactic) and tell you that legal action will be taken against you in the next few days-few weeks if no arrangement is reached in a small time frame. DO NOT FALL PREY TO THESE VULTURES, YOU HAVE RIGHTS!!! also, when you look up their information (i reversed searched the phone number on whitepages.com) it says its a landline based in a different state, but if it were valid it would come up AS AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, like they claim.
