On June 24, 2010 at 5:39 p.m. EST I received a call from someone claiming to represent an attorney in regards to a cash advance I had received and not paid back. This man said his name was "Mr. Williams." He said I received a cash advance from Sonic Cash Advance in October 2008 in the amount of $375.26. He went on to tell me that with penalties and fees this had now ballooned to an amount over $1100 and that I was liable for the payment and that I was to appear in court tomorrow or face arrest. I was immediately suspicious as "Mr. Williams" had an east Indian accent as thick as concrete and although he did give verify the correct bank (Chase), I did not have an account there back in 2008. Also, the name of the bank would have been identified as Washington Mutual back in 2008.
Needless to say I flipped out and told him I had never received a cash advance from this company and had never received anything in the mail such as the affidavit he read to me over the phone or a summons or anyhting. I told him I wanted to speak with a supervisor and straighten this out.
He proceeded to put me on hold, and then about a minute went by when someone came on the line. He identified himself as "Tom Taylor." This was the SAME GUY I had just spoken to (Mr. Williams) only with a deeper voice and struggling to cover his accent, in which he failed miderably.
At that point I decided to end the call so I hung up the phone. The caller ID says "California C CA" and the phone number is 760-514-0127.
I decided I wanted to investigate this further on my own. I don't expecvt to be arrested tmorrow and I strongly suspect this is bogus. Then I found this web site so I thought I would share my story. I see I am not alone. If anything can be done to stop this, or charges filed against whomever this person or persons are, count me in.
It does bother me very much that they knew my bank and my address. I did not have them verify a social security number. I did fill out an application for a cash advance on-line about 7 months ago, but decided against it. I now receive 100 e-mails a day from various loan companies. I am worried about the fact they have so much information. I will never fill out anything with my personal financial info again on-line.

It is against FTC regulations for lenders to make threats to pursue legal action of any sort against you and not have the intent to follow through. I'm afraid this is a scare tactic that many payday loan companies and bill collectors use. I suggest looking up the laws for your state on proper and acceptable debt collection steps and contact your attorney generals office and the Federal Trade Commission and file complaints against them.

I have had the same issue with Sonic Cash Advance, they have been calling me and threatning to have me arrested. I never got a loan from these people and although they have my account number to the bank I have now I just recently got this account and they are saying I have had it since 2010...what should I do?
