I've dealt with this co. for some time, never had any issues unless it's in their stores. The online dept. is usually really good. I do my payday loan on line because I don't like the lengthy, slow moving lines, or the approval process in the stores, & they usually have only 1 person working & 5+ people in line. You could be in there past an hour! What a waste of everyone 's time & it's poor quality customer service. It's not fair to their customers so I discontinued doing them in store. I do them on line because they're very flexible in the sense I can borrower on line, then go to the store to pick up the cash same day. It's really very hassle free. Takes maybe 5 minutes to do compared to the 2 hours in store. Their stores are not particularly close but some are better than others. I've been to a few & can tell you I only like the 1 on State College so far. I have been calling Ace to get extensions on my payday loans, because they put it on my pay day or before which is a huge inconvenience for me. This time it was before due to the holiday on XX/XX/XXXX & banks being closed. I rarely remember holidays unless I see closure signs for them. Because I don't get paid on XX/XX/XXXX I called on XXXX & XXXX XXXX who I get most of the time when I call & never ever had a problem with him or any of the others there. They're always very nice & extremely helpful. I like doing business with them. I don't like having that outstanding loan because it's true what they say, payday loans are a trap & hard to get out of. I pride myself in paying them timely & never being a problem customer. My plan was to figure out how to pay it off in the next month or 2 but taking that hit can be hard because you still end up short on bills. So it's not easy to pay off. Anyway, I called to request the extension they allot, I believe it's 5 days from the original due date. XXXX asked if the XXXX would be fine, I said yep that was perfect & he said it was done & approved. It's really a 1-2 minute call & very problem free. I never thought about it again because like I said XXXX has done this for me many times. I get the extension, it gives me time to get to the bank, then to the store of my choice to pay off the loan, then I go home, reborrow, then go back to the store to pick up the cash. Seems complicated but for me it works. If you pay on line the transaction sits on my bank account for up to 5 days before it clears. I hate that. If I let them do an ACH it does the same but then I can't borrow again for 5 days. I can't afford to do that so that's why I do it the way it's easiest & more convenient for me. They know me in the store now & are always courteous. Late last night I signed into my email to retrieve a phone number for our security co. at my complex that the manager gave me for noise complaints. I had a noisy neighbor & needed to call. That's when I saw the email from Ace thanking me for my payment. They only send those when they do an automatic ACH if you haven't paid the loan before the due date. Hence the reason I do the extensions to avoid the ACH because of the stupid 5 day rule & how it affects my budget. After I dealt with the noise problem I read the email & was livid! I had exactly {$0.00} in my bank account when they put through that ACH this XXXX I'm now {$290.00} over drawn! I had to file a dispute with the bank today, because that transaction will automatically generate a {$35.00} insufficient funds fee that I can't afford to pay! I got the bank to file the dispute after I explained what the transaction was. Prior to calling the bank I called Ace & asked XXXX to transfer me to a manager. I spoke to XXXX. I explained the situation to him & requested they reverse the transaction to honor my original request with XXXX. He said the notes XXXX put in the system said XXXX offered me an extension but I never confirmed it! WHAT???!!!! XXXX started to get upset with me & threatened to end the call if I didn't contain myself! I dared him to hang up on me & told him I'd be filing this complaint. He said it was my right & I agreed! I don't think people really understand the ramifications of their encouraging customers to file complaints against them. The complaints don't go to them, they go to high ups in the co. & make them look bad! I asked him if XXXX logged in that I made the call to Ace or he had reason to call me on that day? He said it showed I called! OK so duh! Why would I call, request an extension, then turn around & say I don't want it if I called to request it, to keep my account off the over draft????!!!! That didn't make 1 ounce of sense & XXXX couldn't make it make any either! I just got more upset the more he tried to cover his & XXXX ' XXXX. He continued to tell me what he " can't '' do rather than doing what skilled managers do : say let me review the call, then speak to XXXX, then I'll call you back with a solution! That's what REAL trained supervisors do! Every co. is into promoting people that have zero people skills & minus zero ability to handle an irate customer or lacks managerial experience. Not everyone is cut out to be a manager just because they think that's what they want to do! The ones in many companies today are completely inept! I had every right to be angry & to demand a solution since the error is Ace 's! Instead XXXX did what most people now days do, not sure if it's a generational thing but he tried to deflect the whole situation back on me, basically trying to say I was so XXXX or worse yet that maybe I was XXXX or XXXX on XXXX, to the point I picked up the phone, made a call to them to request something then changed my mind about it while on the phone, & later forgot I made the call! Why would I do that if I don't want my account to be on the over draft, can't afford to pay the fee & knew I wasn't getting paid on the XXXX?! How much sense does that make & I asked him the same question. He agreed it didn't make any sense & that's why I got angry. I get that XXXX wanted to try to figure out what happened first, but you don't try to put something back on the customer by blaming, or accusing them of something that didn't happen prior to having the facts, & the lack of ability of modern day unskilled managers to not understand what " taking accountability '' means is also astounding. I work in the banking industry, we are drug tested, finger printed & back ground checked, I fully understand the operations side of a bank. What I don't like is the requirement of Ace to do ACH transactions the day before the due date ( see the email ) then debit my account the next day. I hate the ACH transactions for a reason, that's why I rarely allow them to happen. I also prefer to go to the store to pay it off so I don't have a lingering transaction sitting on my account waiting 5 days to clear. I like to balance my account daily so I keep a close eye on it for such problems like this, when they occur I can jump on getting it resolved. It's rare this happens. This was an Ace error & they need to fix it ASAP! Because of their bumbling mistake my account is now going to be on the over draft over a long holiday weekend, until I get paid next week & can clear it or the bank reverses the item back to Ace. Typically it takes the bank almost 10 days to resolve these types of issues, meanwhile my account remains over drawn & there's an over draft fee to consider who gets to eat it! I demanded XXXX review the call, speak to XXXX & call me back with a resolution not his " I can't '' excuses! He said he would but I'm guessing he's lying about that & won't bother to admit they made a major flub up! He's thinking it won't go any further & that my threat to complain was idle! WRONG! It's real! What this does is bring distrust toward them from me & I'm fairly certain I won't continue doing business with them after this. I'm horrified that they would do something this irresponsible. They're used to dealing with people who are not very high on the IQ charts, are total losers, get high or drink to excess & don't have their act together. I'm not one of them! What angered me the most was XXXX attempting to deflect this back to me which seems like I said, to be a serious generational defect with younger generations today. It's easier for them to blame others rather than take responsibility for anything. Hence the reason we have all of this chaos in our country today! I'm not from those generations & was raised to take responsibility for my actions. If this was my fault I wouldn't bother with the complaint or even to call Ace. But since it wasn't & I feel Ace WON'T attempt to resolve it, apologize nor rectify it, that's why I'm filing this complaint. I want to make sure they don't ever do this to another person again! I can accept when someone makes mistakes, we're all human, but when you try to deflect & say too bad so sad customer just deal with it, that's where I draw the line at accepting mistakes! When we hung up there was no offer of resolution to the problem. I have a feeling Ace does this a lot but most people are unaware of how to complain. Many of these types of companies discontinued doing installment loans in CA because the law changed requiring them to lower the greedy high interest rates charged on those loans. Many of these companies discontinued doing them in CA because their greed won't allow them to lower the interest, that's how they make their money & keep you indebted to them for years. It's a major rip off & scam, so I'm glad CA stopped it. The next loans to be banned from CA are payday loans for pretty much this very reason! If Ace & other companies like them don't think that banks complain to the appropriate authorities when customers like me call with a problem like this, they'd best think again. Eventually these types of loans will be outlawed in CA too & many of the Western states. There are legislatures that have been working on bills for some time to get rid of predatory lenders. Can Ace afford to lose that business too? I'm guessing no! What they need to do is stop using COVID as an excuse & get back to the office, masks or no masks so the service level goes back to what it was before. Right now it's just not that great & hold times are way too long some times. I'm sick of businesses using COVID as the excuse for poor quality service. I bet if XXXX was in the office he wouldn't have made a XXXX error like this! Ace needs to rectify this ASAP! If nothing else they need to send me a letter apologizing so I can close that dispute with the bank & they'll understand what really happened. I maintain that there's no way I would pick up a phone to call Ace requesting an extension, then say I don't need or want it! That makes no logical sense to anyone that has common sense! I'm very angry with them & they need to rectify this or I will take my complaints to much higher government sources including the Dept. of Finance who regulates their business activities in CA. I suggest they not dismiss this or my level of anger. I'm not letting them get away with this!

On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX, I received a call from my father **** and he told me that a man name XXXX XXXX reached out to him via phone asking about me. Shortly before this, XXXX had called my stepmom **** and left a similar message. The message said : This message is intended for ****, claim number ***. This is XXXX XXXX contacting you regarding an order that was submitted to my office this morning. I need to verify an address to present you with your formal claim at your residence or place of employment. *** there may be a claim brought against you, at this point you have an opportunity to contact the firm handling your claim to discuss this matter. They can be reached at XXXX. Your claim number listed on this order is XXXX. ***you have officially been notified. At this point, I had had yet to receive a call from XXXX XXXX myself. He had just reached out to XXXX. I then called the number XXXX to see who the creditor even was and to get more information. I call the XXXX and first spoke with a XXXX who directed to me a XXXX. He identified the company as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had never heard of or from XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX until this day. XXXX asked me my information and explain that the debt was in their office from the original creditor AceCash Express. He asked how I would like to proceed with this matter and informed me that they hired a locator to present me with papers but that can be stopped if I set up a payment plan with them. I told him that I did not understand why this locator would be reaching out to my family members and still had yet to reach out to me. He explained that XXXX is just trying to find me and gathering information. I then asked for validation of the debt and the original paperwork that has my information and signatures regarding this debt. I was then informed by XXXX that the locator ( XXXX ) has all this paperwork and I need to accept it from him, but also that if I do accept it from him I can no longer work with the collection company directly and thats its within the courts now. I told him that does not make sense, I am asking for validation of the debt and Im not just going to accept paperwork from a man I had never heard of regarding a matter that I am not certain is mine. He kept telling me that I needed to accept the paperwork from the locator. Again I told him Im just asking for validation of the debt and XXXX would cut me off and tell me to accept the paperwork for validation. We went back and forth for at least 10 minutes, at this point XXXX said I dont know what else to tell you except for Good Luck and then he hung up on me. I called the same number back and XXXX answered the call. I told him I was hung up on and would like to speak with someone else. I was then directed to a woman ( whose name I didnt catch ) and explained the situation all over ; this locator is calling my family and didnt call me, I want validation of the debt. She cut me off and asked what validation do you need? Your social security is attached to this debt I proceed to tell her that even if my social is attached to it that it doesnt mean its mine and she needs to provide me with validation of this debt. She also told me I just needed to accept the paperwork from the locator but that if I do accept it they will no longer be able to help me directly. I asked them then how can you help me. She told me my balance was {$710.00} but if I set up some payment schedules they will take off the {$200.00} locator fee ( because they hired XXXX to find me ) so my balance with their office would be {$510.00} also at this time if I set up payment arrangements they would call off the locator and he would stop attempting to find me. I asked questions regarding payment arrangements and told her that I can make {$100.00} a month until paid in full would work for me. I was told it needed to be paid off in three payments of roughly {$170.00} payments and the first payment would need to be made within a week. I asked if I made a smaller payment within the next two days of {$100.00} if the other payments would be lowered and if the first payment could be pushed out about two weeks. She agreed that was fine. My {$100.00} payment was to come out of my account on XX/XX/XXXX. The remaining {$130.00} and odd change payments were to come out on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX at which point the account would be paid in full. She informed me that if I needed to change a date or alter anything I would need to call the office. She then stated that since I set up a plan with them that she would email me validation of the debt and a copy of my payment schedule. I was then transferred to another gentleman to confirm my card number and payment dates. At the end of my call I expected an email regarding all the information I asked for, validation of the debt and a payment schedule. This email never came. A payment of {$100.00} was taken out of my account on XX/XX/XXXX. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I did some searching online regarding Debt Consolidation. I received a quote from a **** with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I worked out a consolidation plan with her that included XXXX XXXX XXXX as a creditor to be paid back. I had called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX asking them for a confirmation email on my payment schedules so I was giving the correct amount to XXXX XXXX. I was given the number to XXXX at XXXX. I tried to call her to request the confirmation email and I got her voicemail. On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX I called again and got through to her. I told her I was supposed to receive an email last week with paperwork and had yet to receive anything. XXXX told me that it didnt appear that a request was put in to send me paperwork but then she would be able to provide me with a payment confirmation. Within 30 minutes I received an email with a statement from XXXX XXXX Validation of my debt was not included. I forward this statement to XXXX with XXXX XXXX to include the {$410.00} into my payback plan. Upon finalizing paperwork and signing documents with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX to ask them to disable my automatic payments. I called and first spoke to XXXX again and explained that I wanted to modify my payments. I was transferred to XXXX. I explained that I signed contracts with XXXX XXXX for debt consolidation and that XXXX XXXX was included. I asked that my automatic payments with their office be deleted as I will not be paying them directly anymore, they will get payments from XXXX XXXX. XXXX told me that if I canceled my arrangement with their office that they would resend out the locator to deliver my papers. I again explained to her that I have set up an arrangement with a third party company. I asked if she wanted their name and number to confirm or if a representative from XXXX XXXX needed to call them to confirm. She said no, they still are going to send out the locator, once again said Good Luck and hung up on me. I called them back again because I had not even received confirmation that my automatic payments were going to be deleted. XXXX answered first, I told him I need to speak to XXXX who hung up on me. I was transferred back over, I told her I did not appreciate being hung up on and that I still need confirmation that payments werent going to be pulled from my account. She told me they were deleted. I asked for a confirmation email stating that payments were deleted. She told me she was unable to do that but she can assure me that they were deleted. I told her that on their end our conversation is recorded but I have no way of recording our conversation, her just telling me that they arent going to pull a payment doesnt mean a whole lot to me at this point in working with XXXX XXXX. I have been hung up on, Ive gotten attitude from everyone Ive talked to, I tried to work out a payment schedule that worked for me and was denied and told I needed to pay a higher amount or the locator was going to serve me papers. XXXX XXXX word mean nothing to me. I need an email confirmation. She again said she couldnt do that but they wouldnt be resending out the locator if payments were scheduled, hence payments were deleted because they already planned on resending out the locator. Our conversation ended with nothing resolved. On XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX I received a text from my stepmom ***** that XXXX XXXX left her another message regarding me. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received a call from XXXX. I answered and the man identified himself as XXXX XXXX. He stated that he needed to deliver papers that I needed to sign and we needed to figure out a way to do that. He asked if I was currently at home, I said no. He asked if I was at work, I said no. He asked where I was because he could meet me somewhere within 10 minutes. I told him I will not be meeting him anywhere. He told me I needed to take it up with XXXX XXXX because hes just trying to do his job and I wasnt understanding. I told him he wasnt understanding, I already talked with XXXX XXXX who is not accepting my answers to this problem. He told me it doesnt matter he needs to give the papers to me. I told him he can leave them at my residence. He told me he needs a signature and cant just leave them somewhere. He proceeded to tell me that he will be stopping by my work tomorrow XX/XX/XXXX to deliver papers. I told him I do not authorize him to come to my work. He said it doesnt matter he will be coming to my work to find me. He ended the call with, Have a good rest of your day. I immediately called back, was sent straight to voicemail. His voicemail states that this is XXXX XXXX and this number does not accept voicemails, I was unable to leave him a message. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received a call from my dad, **** that he received another call from XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received two calls back to back from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX No voicemail was left. As you can also see from the attachment, the company does not even list an address. The phone number that is used for the signature is not the same number I have been given this whole time to call and discuss my claim. When you do call the number listed it goes right to a voicemail for XXXX XXXX XXXX and you have to leave your name and number to receive a call back.

I noticed that you are reporting inaccurate data - such as : REPORTING AN ACCOUNT AS A COLLECTION ACCOUNT MULTIPLE MONTHS IN A ROW WHEN AN ACCOUNT CAN ONLY GO INTO COLLECTIONS ONE TIME. NOT 4 TO 24 MONTHS IN A ROW LIKE YOU ARE REPORTING IT!!! AND NOT AS A BRAND NEW COLLECTION EACH MONTH ... YOU HAVE REPORTED THESE ACCOUNT INACCURATELY LONG ENOUGH.. .REAGING OF AN ACCOUNT IS A MISREPRESENTAION OF MY CREDIT HISTOR-Y ... .. so DELETE THESE ACCOUNTS NOW!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

With this being said Im aware of my rights. Please do whats right and delete and make sure these stay off my reports. Thanks happy holidays XXXX.

It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he/she : is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize ; refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number ; asks you for personal financial or sensitive information ; or exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written " validation notice. '' The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you. Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller 's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing. Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information.

Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name. Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate but you think the collector may not be contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

It must also tell you in writing the amount of the debt and any fees which have been added, such as interest or collection fees. You must also be informed of your right to dispute the information. A collection agency can not call or write to you more than three times a week. Only one of those calls can be at work. You can not be called between 9 pm and 8 am ; A collection agency can not harass, intimidate, threaten, or embarrass you ; A collection agency can not threaten violence, criminal prosecution, or use offensive language ; and If you send a written statement requesting a collection agency to stop, it can not continue to call or write to you to demand payment. Consumer complaints provide valuable information that our office uses to identify patterns of unfair or deceptive practices that may warrant enforcement of the Consumer Protection Act. We value the important information that we receive from consumers like you. We will retain the information you submitted as part of our public record. In addition, your complaint will be exported to the Federal Trade Commissions ( FTC ) Consumer Sentinel database.

I received an email fromXXXX XXXX XXXX stating I owed {$1100.00}. I had never heard of this company. I asked for more information. The said it was for XXXX XXXX. I replied asking for documentation as I was not aware of any debt to them. They said they did not have any just a statement from original center. I responded that if they did not have documentation I would not be paying anything. I would be willing to review anything I signed, etc showing I owed the debt. This was their response On Tue, XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX wrote : Dear XXXX, Unfortunately , all I have is the affidavit and to send you the copy is against the law before the charges are pressed it will be hence considered as DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER Well if you are asking about the Copy of the original document, however, you should be aware of it that when you applied for this loan, you just mentioned your confidential information during the online loan application. The entire process was online and you did not physically sign any contract so we are unable to provide you that information which we do not have. However, we have sent you detailed information whatever needed to prove that the loan was taken on your name and it was applied using the same information at your address but to receive it you were not present at home. Still if you want the documents, what I can do for you is, you have to send us a request letter from your side with a valid photo identification proof with your physical signature stating that you want the documents to be sent at your mailing address and also you are disputing this case into the courthouse having your attorney to fight the case for you. Your SSN will be put on hold and a legal case will be filed in your name until the first hearing of the Local County Court. The penalties would be double if you lose the case in the courthouse fighting against our company. We will also inform all the three major credit bureaus to report this act of fraud into your Credit score. Your positive reply will be greatly appreciated Thanks and Regards Debt Settlement Division Email Support. I am not comfortable sending them my drivers license copy. I told them if they could not provide the information to stop contacting me. this was their response : Dear XXXX, Alright, we shall meet in the court house as soon as possible.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARD TO INACCURATE INFORMATION EXISTING ON MY XXXX/XXXX XXXX CREDIT REPORT. THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST ACE CASH EXPRESS AT THIS TIME. This is a complaint arising under Sections 5 ( a ), 5 ( m ), 13 ( b ), and 16 ( a ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ), 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), 45 ( m ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 53 ( b ), and 56 ( a ) ; the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x ; and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692-1692p, to obtain monetary civil penalties, a permanent injunction, restitution, disgorgement, and other equitable relief for the Defendants violations of the FCRA, the FDCPA, and Section 5 of the FTC Act. ACE CASH EXPRESS provides consumer personal credit reports to regional and national credit grantors, attempting to issue both commercial and consumer credit. ACE CASH EXPRESS regularly furnishes consumer credit reports to Creditors electronically. ACE CASH EXPRESS is an entity who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more Creditors about its transactions or experiences with its consumers. ACE CASH EXPRESS routinely receives complaints from consumers who claim they do not owe the debt or that an account is invalid or incorrect. In numerous instances, I have notified ACE CASH EXPRESS at the address specified for such disputes that ACE CASH EXPRESS is reporting inaccurate information concerning my consumer credit. As a victim of identity theft I expect the information in my consumer report to be accurate and my disputes taken seriously. ACE CASH EXPRESS has continued to report inaccurate information to the Creditors even after receiving such notice and accompanying proof. In numerous instances, I have disputed the information appearing on my consumer credit report in writing to ACE CASH EXPRESS. ACE CASH EXPRESS receives most notices of disputes from a consumer in electronic format, through automated consumer dispute verification ( ACDV ) forms provided on ACE CASH EXPRESS S website. Pursuant to Section 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, ACE CASH EXPRESS, as a furnisher of information to the Creditors, is required to conduct an investigation of the disputed information upon receipt of a notice of dispute from a Consumer. For certain types of disputes, such as those where the consumer claims the account is not his or hers or belongs to someone with a similar name, it is ACE CASH EXPRESS XXXX policy and practice only to compare the name, social security number, date of birth, and address in ACE CASH EXPRESS s computer database with the information provided on ACDV forms. Where three of the four items match, ACE CASH EXPRESS will report to the Consumer that it has verified the information it furnished as accurate. It is ACE CASH EXPRESS s policy that only after the consumer has alleged the same type of account inaccuracy more than four times will the matter become assigned to a supervisor to do further investigation. Because ACE CASH EXPRESS collects accounts that are often old, information in its computer files may not be accurate for a variety of reasons, including incorrect updating of addresses, errors in recording names and information, and problems with the original Creditors records. In disputes involving identity theft or fraud allegations, ACE CASH EXPRESS s policies provide that if the existing account codes and notes in its records do not contain any reference to a prior claim of fraud, ACE CASH EXPRESS will verify the previously reported information without conducting any investigation prior to such verification. In numerous instances, despite written or oral notification from consumers disputing the accuracy or completeness of alleged debts, ACE CASH EXPRESS continued to furnish the information to the Creditors without communicating that the information was disputed by the consumer. Section 623 ( a ) of the FCRA describes the duties of furnishers to provide accurate information to Creditors. Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) prohibits furnishers from providing information relating to a consumer to any Creditor if i. the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ii. the information is, in fact, inaccurate. In numerous instances, I have contacted ACE CASH EXPRESS at the address specified by ACE CASH EXPRESS to dispute information furnished by ACE CASH EXPRESS to a Creditor and to notify ACE CASH EXPRESS that the information is inaccurate. In numerous instances, I have also provided information such as the consumers drivers license, social security number, and/or proof of residence to confirm my identity. The acts and practices alleged above constitute violations of Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). Pursuant to Section 621 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s ( a ) ( 1 ), the acts and practices alleged above also constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Section 5 ( a ) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ). Under Sections 13 ( b ) and 19 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 53 ( b ) and 57b, I am able to recover all equitable and ancillary relief as it may deem appropriate in the enforcement of the FCRA, the FDCPA, and the FTC Act, including the ability to order rescission or reformation of contracts, restitution, the refund of monies paid, and disgorgement to deprive a wrongdoer of ill-gotten gain. Section 621 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s, authorizes a Court to award monetary civil penalties of not more than {$2500.00} per violation for each violation of Sections 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and 623 ( b ) of the FCRA. I want ACE CASH EXPRESS to remove these inaccurate items.

To whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a practicing surgical assist. I specialize in several surgical specialties and work with several key physicians in the XXXX and surrounding areas. I recently paid a visit to the ACE Check Cashing location in XXXX location store # XXXX with the expectation of cashing two payroll checks in the name of my corporation XXXX, XXXX. I was informed that I would need to provide all of my personal and business information for verification of the the business entity. All necessary information was provided with the inclusion of proper identification of my proprietorship of XXXX, XXXX. To my dismay, the total time for the verification of all of my documents took three working days to approve the DBA account with the corporate office and unfortunately 6 days of time away from my regular work schedule. This process included waiting in the lobby on Wednesday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for over 5 hours, my wife and I to standing in the lobby for over XXXX hours on a Saturday ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and again on Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) for at least 4 hours. I would like to express my gratitude to XXXX and XXXX, who worked tirelessly and well into the evening on these visits to provide the information that was requested for verification of the business. These associates spent time calling, emailing, scanning, and faxing all my information in an effort to help reassure that the corporate office had all the required data needed to approve my account. The account was finally set up on Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and I was informed that although a previous approval was attained, now another approval was needed. This was extremely disappointing after standing in the store for hours and after overhearing a young lady from corporate via speakerphone relay the information to XXXX that all information was cleared and verified from a corporate stance. It is my assumption that once the approval was given to XXXX that there was a level of apprehension that was still present due to the fact that one of the checks was over {$7000.00}. After XXXX placed another phone call, the young lady from corporate advised XXXX to call her District Manager to get an approval code to cash the checks. XXXX called her DM to get his approval, but what I was able to hear was the laughing, cracking jokes, and overall unprofessionalism that was displayed by the DM during their discussion regarding the checks. After XXXX sent the DM a copy of the check, he to became apprehensive and stated that he also wanted another verification of the checks from the company which was issued by a national healthcare insurer, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of Texas. When the numbers associated this insurance provider are called, unfortunately all of the lines lead to an automated system and is difficult to attain the assistance of a person. This process proved to be extremely upsetting and disappointing, especially after the DM stated that he wanted a different verification of the checks. I questioned the need to verify checks that were previously verified and approved by corporate. After speaking to the DM, he questioned the validity and the need for me being paid so much money, questioned my position, my practice, and my ability to have a job which paid this amount? After which time, the DM requested that I send him something in writing that showed him what I actually I do for a living to justify the reason for the Insurance company sending me this type of money? Although I did comply, I must question the need for the provision of additional information after spending over 3 days in this location. During this period of time, I had the ability to observe several customers come in and cash checks with DBA accounts and without subjection to the this type of questioning. I also feel it was demeaning and accusatory, giving the perception that I was a common criminal trying to cash a fake check and defraud the company. If I was trying to defraud your company, why would I stand in your lobby for well over 15 hours in the course of 3 days under security cameras? Why would I provide legitimate information including my name, corporation name, tax number, EIN number, address, phone numbers, and most importantly the social security numbers for both my wife and I? In my years of practice I have dealt with a number of financial institutions with the inclusion of cashing checks with a greater monetary value, but never with the receipt of this degree of blatant disrespect especially from a member of higher management. The sole purpose for the presentation of cashing these checks with ACE was due to providing for the needs of my oldest son who is away at college with immediate needs. This whole process has been extremely disappointing and completely unexpected and definitely not the first experience that I thought that I would experience with this company. In an effort to reassure this type of blatant accusatory action does not happen again, I am forwarding a copy of this letter to your corporate headquarters for Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX, # XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. Also a copy to XXXX XXXX with the New Mexico Regulation & Licensing Department, XXXX, and to the Texas Department of Banking XXXX Very Disappointed XXXX XXXX XXXX

Hello, my name is XXXX I have been a customer of yours for almost three years now I bank with XXXX XXXX. Normally when I come in the staff is very friendly to me, they dont ever look like they love what they do but they know how to fake it. I just recently visited Ace cash app express on XXXX right next to the XXXX XXXX shop. There was an XXXX XXXX woman there with short hair not very tall XXXX XXXX I dont remember her name, hints as to why Im trying to describe her. Anyway I came in to deposit a personal check into my account & the lady helping me was very rude. She had just gotten off of the phone with someone who didnt speak good English and she was agitated and when she hung up she was speaking out rude things about the customer not speaking English I just laughed it off. She told me that I would be charged a fee for cashing my check which was fine then she told me I would be charged twice. Now I didnt understand why I would be charged to cash a check and then charged again to put money into my own bank account I had just been charged {$5.00} earlier in the day for my monthly charge of having an account with XXXX XXXX. So I tried to explain to her that I didnt understand why I would be charged twice and that it didnt make sense for them to charge me to put money into my own bank account no other bank that I have ever had has charged me twice. I was very nice about this just very concerned it didnt make sense. She did not bother trying to help she just kept saying it does make sense so I got even more agitated because she never explained why it was that I was being charged twice. But I made sure to explain to her that I wasnt upset with her, just the overall situation because in the end Im losing money and it doesnt seem fair, why would I continue to bank with you guys if Im losing money in the end. She just got more upset and started saying well thats just how it is, it does make sense and then she started saying it makes sense because its business now at this point Im really annoyed you work here and you cant even explain to me why its being done your only answer is it makes sense? I explained to her I know that its not her fault I was just voicing my opinion became I wanted to know what the purpose was of me being charged twice and she said I work here and I bank here they charge me too so thats just how it is I told her I understand that I was just trying to get more information but you cant give me any. She says you are giving g an option like o can change something theres nothing I can do I told her I understand you cant chagrin anything but I am a customer with questions you work in customer service you are the only one here but you cant seem to answer my questions and you dont seem to care you arent even being open minded to hearing my questions at all. Then she started saying whatever little girl I dont care whatever I told her you dont get to treat people like that, I look young because of my face but I am not child. I told her I am a XXXX XXXX and when I have a customer with a complaint I dont just get to dismiss what they are saying, even if I cant help them out I am willing to hear them out. Thats the purpose of customer service. In the end it never got resolved she just kept telling me how she didnt care, and its not her problem, theres nothing she can do, and Im not going to do anything about it. then she started telling me she doesnt care because she makes good money. I asked her do you because you dont treat people like you make enough money to love your job I asked a question and you have been rude the entire time. Then she says do you want me to cash the check or not because it doesnt really matter to me. So I give her the number of the person who wrote the check because she needed to verify before depositing it, she says she called twice there was no answer and she wasnt going to cash my check with verifying, so I ended up calling he lady myself while standing in front of her the employee and then all of a sudden. She started being a little nicer and was mysteriously about to get it cashed. I got it deposited and I left. The purpose of this email is to let you know that out of all the times I have come into this specific store in three years I have never been tested like this, Im never rude to anyone and no one is rude to me. This lady was very rude and disrespectful and I believe she needs more training, if she cant answer simple questions and treat people with respect, then she should not work at Ace Cash Express, I dont want to have this problem again.

This Email is to notify you that You are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. For non-payment of your debt dues. Which will be criminal prosecution and because of it your SSN is put on hold by the US Government, so before something goes wrong we would like to notify you about this matter.

The Legal Affidavit States that You monitored online Using Order To Solicited Funds From an Online Website Which is Own and Operated By XXXX XXXX XXXX ( ACE Loan group ). The Funds Were Successfully Transferred Into Your Bank, Utilising an interstate EFT ( That stands for Electronic Funds Transfer ) But at The Time Of repayment When the Clients Attempted To Extract The Funds Back there were 6 EFT 's Returned Constituting Worthless Electronic Check, So As of Now Rather Than Chasing You For Money They Have Simply Decided to write This money as a loss and deemed to be stolen As well as press charges against you in your state under your social security number. Now this legal affidavit has been taken care by FDCPA Law Fair Debt Collection Practice Act Chapter ( 9 ) Section ( 19 ) This means just two things for you. 1 ) If you are on any state supervised probation on payroll, you will need to top contact the officer about this case and make them aware of this case. 2 ) If You have any prior Conviction Including But Not Limited To Worthless Cheques, Grand Theft, or Money Laundering Please Make it a note that the attorney general of your state would handle this case as that of a habitual offender, as your state is a strictly zero-tolerance state.

You have the right to hire an attorney. If you don't have one or if you can't afford then one will be appointed to you. We believe that this was not your intent and that these steps are unnecessary. We merely require you to contact our recovery asset location department through Email between XXXX to XXXX ( EST ).

I have been getting frequent calls from this company. They left a voice message saying it was important to call them back because it was time sensitive. I called back and the woman that answered the phone gave only her name and that the call was being recorded. I advised I had a missed call from them and was calling back. She asked if I was calling from the number they called. I advised that I was. She said she was going to try to locate the account. She then said it looks like they were looking for XXXX XXXX is that me. I said yes. She then asked if the last four of my social was XXXX. I answered yes. I would jut like to note that anyone could have said yes and not been me, because she provided me with this information. I then asked who she was. She said she was with XXXX XXXX and they were a debt collection agency. She did not give me the mini Miranda. She did not advise that this was an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained would be used for that purpose. She did not state if she was a debt collector or an attorney, yet she mentioned moving forward with legal action. As a previous recent debt collector for a debt collection law firm, I immediately recognized the error. I can recite it in my sleep. She told me it was for an Ace Payday loan from 2014. I immediately informed her that I did not have an Ace payday loan in 2014. She then argued that someone was making payments on the account using a XXXX XXXX bank account and gave the last four numbers of that account. She never gave me the account number for original account or for their office. I responded that I did not have a XXXX XXXX bank account in 2014. She said again that payments were being made on this. I advised It was not my account. She stated that they would move forward with legal action against me, trying to scare me. I advised that we both know that I had not been served. She said something along the lines of, not yet. She never verified my address. She stated that she would send me validation. I asked for their address. My intention was to submit a dispute in writing and to report their violations. She said that she needed to locate my local address because she was calling from XXXX Texas. I said okay. I was on a long hold. When the hold music stopped there was another party that came on the line. He stated his name and that he was a compliance manager. He asked if I was disputing. I advised that I was. I advised that she never verified my address and that she provided me with the last four of my social that I never gave it to her. He responded with they are not required to verify my address. He would be correct in that statement as they could also use my date of birth. However, how can they send me validation of debt as requested if no one verified my address. I responded with I also never received the required FDCPA letter advising me that the account was placed in their office. He agreed that they are required to send me the letter but said nothing to indicate it was even sent. I advised him that I was not given the mini Miranda and that there were multiple violations made on the call. I advised that she was supposed to be getting me the address. I asked how they were going to address these violations. He responded with they are not going to give me the address. I advised that they were required to do so. He started arguing that they were not and if I had any questions I could go to their website and listed it off very quickly without spelling out the name. I stated that it sounded like I was going to need to seek out an attorney and he hung up on me. I called back to let them know I did not want any further communication from them other than the dispute information that I requested. The same male answered the phone. I advised him it was rude of him to hang up on me. I gave my name and my phone number as I was not given an account number to reference. I advised that I was putting them on notice because I felt harassed by them and that I still wanted those documents I requested in regards to the dispute. He responded by hanging up on me for the second time. I gave them an opportunity to address my concerns about the violations on the call, but they thought it was better to change the subject and hang up on me.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX. They claim to be a mediation department working on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, they will claim to be mediating on behalf of Ace Cash Express, which is not accurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a debt buyer who, according to XXXX, frequently buys Ace debt. I spoke to two women named Ms. XXXX and Ms. XXXX. They do not provide first names. They indicated that in XX/XX/XXXX, I took out a payday loan with Ace Cash Express and never repaid the loan. I did not remember taking out the debt, which I stated clearly a few times. When I said this, both women immediately turned to fraud, stating that if I did not take it out, I must be alleging that someone defrauded me. That was not my statement. Ms. XXXX refused to provide written notice of the debt or documents, as she stated that now that we were in mediation, it was too late for that. Both Ms. XXXX and Ms. XXXX stated that they were going to move to go against my social security number claiming " malicious intent to defraud a financial institution. '' She stated that they had already accessed my credit report and wanted to know if I keep track of my credit. She stated that this debt would be placed on my credit report for collection. She also stated that this information would be reported to XXXX and that an Early Warning Signal would be added to my SSN for fraud, which would result in my bank being legally allowed to close my account. I would be unable to get a bank account, among other things. She also stated that her recommendations would be to do whatever they could against me to the fullest extent of the law in Texas. Neither of the women explained why they were contacting me, as they said multiple times that they were not a collection agency. They were mediation department. When I challenged what she was saying, Ms. XXXX indicated that that she had decided within five minutes of our conversation not to help me and listed the above consequences as a result of my attitude. She strongly insinuated that her unwillingness to assist was due to her disliking me personally, but then later claimed that it was because I said that the debt was not mine, which was also never said. I only indicated that I did not remember taking it out. She said she would give me one day to contact Ace Cash Express to figure things out and then ended the call. The next day, I contacted Ace Cash Express to find out what was going on. I found that in XX/XX/XXXX, I had taken out the loan. That year, I had worked with a debt consolidation company who reportedly made at least $ 500+ in payments on my behalf. This means that Ace would have had to agreed to a settlement amount for them to accept payments from the consolidation company. At some point, Ace attempted to take money out of my account and the payments were returned several times. Neither Ace or XXXX can give me information as to when this happened. They decided to add at least {$400.00} in fees to my account, if not more as a result of this. When I went to their website to find the loan documents or account information, their website prompts me to resolve my debt, but does not allow me to access any documents. This also means that Ace is attempting to collect a debt that they admit that they sold. I contacted the CFPB, who stated that what these companies were doing was illegal and predatory. The next day, XXXX called me and I attempted to speak to Ms. XXXX regarding what I found out from Ace. When I said that I spoke to them about my loan, her immediate response was, " Oh you mean the one that isn't yours? '' When i asked her to repeat herself, she said, " The loan you never took out, right? '' I asked why she was being so condescending and rude, and she said that we had gone " around the United States '' in circles and she did not know what I wanted. I wanted to explain about the debt consolidation company, but she continued to talk over me and was very loud. Eventually, she said that she was ending the call, said XXXX bless you and then something about how she hopes that I can be more financially responsible in the future. Ms. XXXX then hung up on me.

She stated that I had until XXXX EST for representing counsel or myself to provide a statement of intent or they would proceed with further action in XXXX County.She left a call back number of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received 5 back to back phone calls from XXXX to XXXX. On one of the phone calls a voicemail was received. The message was from XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The voicemail said they were contacting me to give me a final notification and I had until XXXX EST or they would proceed with further action in XXXX County. She requested a statement of intent from me or my representing counsel. It said I was officially notified and left a call back number of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I didn't call back that day. On XX/XX/XXXX my brother called and said he received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and he forwarded me the number via text message. I returned the call that afternoon and spoke to a XXXX XXXX who said that XXXX XXXX was not available. I gave him the " case '' number that was left in my voicemail and he asked the nature of the call. He tells me that they are collecting on behalf of Ace Cash Express and that I had committed fraud. He said they had tried contacting my grandmother ( who has been XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX ) and my friend as well. He said that I was in violation of Texas Penal Code 32.41. I asked for proof of what he was referring to and he sent me an email with the contract. I asked him for the amount owed, who I was paying to and his license number to collect in the state of Texas and he said he didn't know the license number and referred me to his corporate office at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told him that his threatening collection practices were not legal and that he needed to be licensed to collect in Texas. He said that he could send me verification of the debt by mail but as of this date I have not received anything. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying that he received the court summons regarding the charges and claim filed against me from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He said he needed to verify my home address or they would be forced to serve me at my place of employment. He then gave me the phone number to contact the " filing party '' at XXXX XXXX XXXX and then provided the " case number '' again. I returned the call on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX and I asked her what actions they were referring to. She stated there were two charges being filed. I asked if they were civil or criminal and she stated one was civil and one was criminal. I told her that she could not threaten criminal services to collect on a debt. She wished me good luck in court and ended the call. I called back to speak to her and find out who owned the debt and I spoke to XXXX XXXX who told me she was on another call. He again advised me that I was in violation of Texas Penal Code 32.41 and he proceeds to read it to me.I told him that he could not threaten me to get me to pay a debt. I asked if I needed to pay today who I would be paying and if he could provide the license number and he again refers me to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I end the call with him. I called to XXXX XXXX XXXX and they advised me that I do have an account in collections with them. I provided the young lady answering the phone with the information received from the voicemails and phone calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. She transfers me to a manager. The name of the manager I spoke to was XXXX, she did not provide a last name. I told her also about the various calls and voicemails with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and she advised me that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a third party collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX and that the practices they were using to collect the debt did not reflect the practices of XXXX XXXX XXXX and that the account would be pulled back from them. She then asked me what I intended to do in regards to the account and I advised her that I was unsure how to proceed since I had been threatened with a lawsuit and criminal charges.

Around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I took out a loan from Ace Cash Express in the amount of XXXX with intentions of paying it off in full on my following payday of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX my account was hacked into so I called Ace Cash Express on XX/XX/XXXX to provide a different bank account to pay the loan off. I spoke with someone by the name of XXXX who stated Ace 's policies would not allow me to pay from another bank account. I would have to go to a local store and make my payment there instead. She also stated I should put a stop payment on the fee that was scheduled to be deducted before I could make the payment at the physical store. I did this. This was where the runaround began and they 'seized ' an opportunity to delay my paying off the debt so that I could owe more fees. XXXX said I should go to the Ace Cash Express on XXXX XXXX in XXXX and pay {$1200.00} to pay off the debt. Getting there, the representatives at this location knew nothing of my situation at all and they quoted an amount of XXXX. Which is way more than I borrowed plus fees combined. I left there and called and Ace again and asked to speak to a manager who then directed me to another location at XXXX on the following Saturday and stated that my payments would have to be split into XXXX due when I pay at a local store. Her instructions were for me to make an initial payment of {$1000.00} at the store then wait 3 days and come back to pay the remaining {$270.00} which would total the original {$1200.00} payoff amount given to me by XXXX. I went on Saturday to the specified location and again, the representatives knew nothing about the arrangement and even quoted a different amount. By this time I suspected all of these delays were deliberate so I called Ace again on XX/XX/XXXX and this time I was given a different 'Supervisor ' by the name of XXXX . She stated I could mail in my money order for {$1000.00} since I was having trouble paying at the stores and send the remaining {$270.00} by XX/XX/XXXX since I 'd already had an agreement to pay XXXX. This was also due to my account being frozen and the difficulty involved going back to withdraw additional funds. So on XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a money order for XXXX and mailed it to the address I was given. I called Ace after doing so to let them know the payment was in route and also to confirm my remaining balance of {$270.00} and let them know when I would be mailing it off as well. I got someone named XXXX on the phone who said my remaining balance was over {$500.00}. I was livid. I told her the entire history of the account, what I was told was due and everything. From this point on the runaround was horrible. Whenever I called I was always placed on hold for over an hour and when I did speak to someone they refused to acknowledge the payment they had already received. They gave me a different balance each time. Finally I told them never to call me again and that I would be sending the XXXX money order that I was originally quoted and Ace Cash Expres would not receive any additional money from me. I did n't understand why I had to split my payments that way anyway when on my first phone call I was prepared to pay it off in full. So on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I did exactly as requested and purchased a money order for XXXX. I did n't mail it off until XX/XX/XXXX because I kept trying to reach someone in a position of authority to acknowledge the payment amount before I would send it. For months I did n't hear from them anymore but yesterday I received a letter from a collection agency by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX asking for a payment of XXXX on behalf of Ace Cash Express. This is now harassment. They can not give me an amount then after I pay it ask for more money. I am seeking legal advise and plan to file a lawsuit. This harassment is out of control. It is now XXXX and they are harassing me for money I

I received XXXX phone calls yesterday from a supposed " litigation firm '' threatening me with check garnishment. I hung up on the first call because this supposed " litigation specialist '' did NOT read the debt collecting disclosure " I need to let you know that this is an attempt to collect, and any information will be used to collect on this debt .... '' etc. They called me back immediately with the same nonsense- talking over me, not listening to me when I told them that they are required to show me proof of this debt, that I wanted a letter and statement with my account number delivered by certified mail, etc. The first call was at XXXX XXXX and lasted 4 minutes ; the XXXX call came at XXXX XXXX and lasted for 5 minutes. These people will absolutely edit or shorten recorded calls to prove that they were n't making threats and were n't being unprofessional. If they want anyone to listen to their calls to prove they 're not acting like lunatics, please pay attention the duration of the phone calls. I asked both the " litigation specialist/debt collector '' and the supervisor for specific information, including the account number of the debt they 're saying I owe, the breakdown of the balance, the name of their company, where they 're located, their website address. ( The first caller also told me that it 's not a debt collection agency and that the debt was getting ready for garnishment. The debt they 're saying I owe is $ 185'ish ). Re : the website. The man first said that their website was under construction ; I asked to see it anyway. He began threatening me and taunting me with garnishment, asking me why I was arguing over them not having a website and named off people that I have listed as references in the past. I mean, come on- anyone can XXXX names of people and see who they 're connected to online, and the ages/cities, etc., of these people ). I had asked for a supervisor after I could n't get a legit physical address or website. He then transferred me to someone equally ridiculous. The supervisor gave me this website below : http : //apirecoverysolutions.com/ As you 'll see, it 's a XXXX website. I 'm thinking that any litigation firm that wants to be taken seriously will pay for a website NOT powered by XXXX. If you XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, you 'll see a litany of ripoff reports/scam alerts. They said on the phone they are called XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, but the website does n't list these names at all. I would n't give a dime to these people, even if this debt was sent to them by the payday loan provider ( which I honestly doubt is legit because payday loans- I do n't do them anymore- are debited from your checking account through your debit card number by the due date- I can not stop it. ) I know that it 's on them to provide valid, official and detailed proof of the debt, and they refuse to do that. They offered me a letter to my email address and I declined. I told them it needed to be certified mailed to my physical address. I called them TODAY to get a physical address and some names ; the woman who answered would n't give me her name, but when I asked what the XXXX in the business name stands for, she said " XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. '' I told her that I 've been told XXXX, not XXXX. She then transferred me to the administrative assistant. This XXXX began speaking over me and would n't let me talk at all. The phone number on their website is XXXX. They 've also called me from XXXX. When you call the XXXX number, nobody ever answers and there is no greeting with the business name. I got someone on the phone today at the XXXX number above. The physical address I was given is this : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX NY XXXX These people have my personal information ( the XXXX told me this ) I 'm concerned and am going to be contacting the credit bureaus about this.

This is my second report against Ace Cash XXXX. Ace has sent my information to multiple agencies and each agency harasses my family members, even after asking them to not do so. According to the new agency who is contacting me, I am being taken to collections for an unpaid debt that they say is outstanding from 2013, which they have stated that I have accrued interest on this debt and continue to do so daily. Since Ace Cash XXXX does all transactions via cash currency, there is no way for me to obtain any transactions of my own, only what would be offered to me through the collection agency or Ace themselves, which so far upon request I have not received. I have been asked to provide a credit or debit card as promissory to repay the debt, although I am not sure that the debt is valid. In 2013 I did use the service of Ace Cash as temporary relief, however, Ace Cash encourages borrowers to 'renew ' their loan until they reach the 3rd loan so that smaller payments may be made to repay the debt. By doing this, the borrower pays the original loan, plus the charges for that loan, and immediately takes a new loan. Again, at the time the new loan is to be paid, the borrower is encouraged to do the same, pay the loan amount and the charges for the loan, and immediately take another loan. At this point, you are really only extending a loan, but the lender is actually increasing the charges of this loan by forcing you to take a new loan. So on the 3rd loan, you are now paying the charges for all XXXX loans when in actuality you have really only received funds from the lender once. Instead of offering a longer term, the lender offered additional loans, implying that it would allow a more flexible payment option. This brings me to my original complaint. Due to the number of transactions a borrower is met with, and all transactions being done in cash only, I am not confident that there is an outstanding debt. I believe my terms had been met in 2013, in addition to additional funds being paid through this questionable practice of Ace Cash. This business has given my information to multiple agencies, and I feel my personal information has been compromised. The agencies that now have my information harass my family members multiple times and put a strain on our relationships, even after they are asked not to contact them. They ask for credit card information, they state my social security number over the phone to people other than myself, and they are often rude to everyone they contact. They even suggested that I 'borrow ' money to pay this debt! I do not believe there is any remaining debt, I am confident that the loan was resolved within the first XXXX transactions, and that their practice of suggesting additional loans is a false statement, when in fact you are only extending the loan, but they are adding charges by calling it a 'new ' loan. These lenders cause great financial strain for families, and they continue to do so by selling your information to other businesses similar to theirs, or what they consider 'debt collectors '. People go to places that offer temporary relief to a situation, only to find out that they have greatly increased their financial difficulties. When a family believes they have finally overcome those difficulties, the lenders begin another cycle. As I stated, it was suggested that I 'borrow ' money to pay a debt that I do not believe to be valid. It was also suggested that 'I have no intentions of paying my debts ', and that 'no, I was not going to be allowed to speak '. Ace Cash is causing hardship for my family, I wish I had never stepped foot into their location. The people they have given my personal information to have no regard for other people, and they threaten me with additional charges if I do not resolve the matter today.

I took out a pay day loan around XX/XX/XXXX from Ace Check cashing loan. I did not pay it back in the time I was supposed to. Sometime later I kept asking Ace about the debt I owed and they gave me a number to call. I called the number and they said they did n't have anything for me. Around XX/XX/XXXX I opened a bank account with my bank at the time of the payday loan. They said I owed them the money for the payday loan so I paid them back. A couple months ago I tried to get a loan from my bank and they said my credit score was too low so they offered to heal my credit. He looked up one of my credit reports and said I had a delinquent account. I was surprised as I thought I was paying off everything. He said the debt was with a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I tried to find a way to contact this name. I found nothing. I let the banker know about this and he emailed me back saying he found a number. I called the number and the man was very rude and unprofessional. I felt like it was a scam and I told him so and I was very wary of giving him my social security number. Unfortunately I did n't record the conversation. Sometime later I got a call from XXXX XXXX, it was pretty early and I do n't remember exactly what he said. I remember telling him that I could n't pay the amount right that second because I have rent coming up. He wanted me to pay the whole amount immediately. I asked for a settlement and he gave me one but still wanted some of the money right away. I told him I would talk to my dad and get it to him in the next week or something like that. He got my email address and sent me an email with a settlement attatched. I put the amount I thought I owed in my budget. The email gave me about tow months to pay the amount off and a specific date by which to pay part of what I thought I owed. He called me a couple weeks later and was pretty vague about why he was calling. I said I do n't owe the partial payment until later in the month, like the XXXX or something and the rest of the settlement is due by XXXX XXXX. I said I 'm driving through a canyon so I 'm about to lose service and then the call was lost and my phone said call failed. He called me again, a week before the payment was due and this time was very rude saying the payment should have been paid already and something about calling me on XXXX XXXX. I did n't have any paperwork with the dates he had given me so I just said you told me the payment was n't due till later. He continued to speak to me loudly and rudely, so I asked to speak with his supervisor. Another guy got on the phone and also said nothing about this being an attempt to collect a debt. I put him on speaker and my dad was there listening for only part of it. I told him I did n't think this was a legit company and that they spelled my name wrong on the email. He also insisted on saying I owed the money now and that the settlement was basically just a favor and was something they were n't required to offer me. He was very rude and I hung up the phone. He sent me an email saying he did n't think I was being harassed. He said he listened to the conversation that was recorded. I hope all my conversations were recorded. He said maybe I was confused because the settlement I had previously received was written wrong. he attatched a new settlement with my first name spelled correctly and my last name added this time. They still have an incorrect address for me and I have not been asked for my address at all at any point. I have not received any thing by mail. I want to pay off all my debt. I want to find out if I owe this debt. I called Ace check cashing today and their collection office has nothing for me.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call labeled Spam Risk on my cell phone from XXXX. I was connected with XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who began berating me with information regarding multiple attempts to collect a debt in the amount of {$860.00} that had ballooned to {$1500.00}. I was given little information than the debt was regarding Ace Cash Express -- a payday loan company. I immediately informed XXXX that this debt was discharged in a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy from XXXX. She insisted that the debt was not included, that garnishment proceedings with my company would be forthwith, that I would be taken to court and responsible for legal fees, etc. and demanded that I make payment or agree to a legal affidavit that I refused to pay. I advised that I had received no letter of collection. She proceeded to inform me that my address had been verified by USPS ; however, I advised that I had not lived at the given address since XXXX. She then confirmed my current address had been verified and couldn't answer as to why I had not received any letters. I advised that I am certain that the debt was filed and discharged and found the document while still on the phone with her ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). She asked that I send the documentation to XXXX to resolve the matter. Instead, I contacted Cash Express ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, AL XXXX ) at XXXX and spoke with XXXX who advised I come into the office to look into the matter. I was connected with the District Manager ( XXXX ) XXXX who advised that I had a {$0.00} balance and that she has heard many people be ambushed like I was. XXXX also advised that Ace Cash Express is not affiliated with her company and to her knowledge was no longer in business. I did some research to find a URL for ACE and found https : //www.acecashexpress.com/ ; I found a section dedicated to fraud and scam alerts that suggested I take note of debt collection calls like I had received. I called them directly at XXXX and spoke with XXXX. XXXX, who works in collections, was unable to locate me within the system. I called XXXX back at XXXX and spoke with XXXX, who reconnected me with XXXX. Once on the phone, XXXX asked if I had submitted my document. I told her that I had instead done further research to find that Cash Express, nor ACE Cash Express show me liable for a debt. XXXX became irate stating that they wouldn't know and that I wouldn't show in their systems because the debt had been bought out. I asked for an account number and was provided XXXX but told that extra zeros may be added because of buy outs. I asked if she can confirm the origination of the debt, and she stated that she couldn't. When I informed her that ACE had advised me that I was not indebted, she stated that ACE is a financial backer and could be tied to any payday loan company. I pointed out that my bankruptcy documents have specific companies listed, so without further information, I would not know who to prove to. XXXX was very combative in discussion and repeatedly said that these items are on my credit report, I will be financially liable for legal fees and will have to appear in court, etc. I advised her that I had pulled all three credit bureau reports and found nothing listed as she described. XXXX began telling me that she would simply close the " investigation '' and document what she had done and my choice to " not comply '' on my record. I asked for a copy of said record and was told no. If this debt is legitimate, it is beyond the 6 year statute of limitations, and once clearly identified can be proven to be on a discharged bankruptcy. This ordeal costed me 4 hours of paid-time off and unbelievable stress.

On XX/XX/2021, someone I do not know well sends me a referral link to open an account at XXXX for a {$100.00} bonus. The link allows me to provide my email address from where the account can be opened. The terms of the email ( attached ) specified the following : ( ( - Open the referral link from a mobile device XXXX XXXX XXXX - Open a XXXX account - Download the XXXX App and open a XXXX account. - Set up a qualifying Direct Deposit - Your account must receive a direct deposit of {$500.00} or more within 6 months of account opening. ) ) ( ( - Detailed Terms : Referral bonus paid after referred person establishes an account and receives a payroll or government benefits direct deposit of {$500.00} or more within 6 months of account opening. An accountholder may receive up to {$500.00} in Refer-a-Friend rewards while program is available. The {$100.00} credit is a limited time promotion valid for those completing qualification requirements between XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021. ) ) Following the instructions, I opened the account on my mobile device using the provided referral link on XX/XX/2021 ( see attachments ). I received a qualifying direct deposit into my account on XX/XX/2021 ( see attached ). The bonus is designed to post quite soon after fulfilling the requirements - however, I have not received it. I reached out to XXXX on XX/XX/2021 about the bonus. They responded on XX/XX/2021 with the terms of the bonus. I responded on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I have completed all the requirements and have not received the bonus. They responded on XX/XX/XXXX asking for the following information : ( ( - referral code link - full name of the person referring - name and resident state of the person referred - account # of the referrer - account # of the person referred - email address of the person referred ) ) I responded on XX/XX/XXXX with the referral code link, name and state of the person referred ( myself ), account # of the person referred and email address of the person referred. I was unable to provide the full name of the person referring or their account number since I do not know them well. They responded again on XX/XX/XXXX saying that I must provide the following information for them to assist me : ( ( - Full Name of the person referred - Account # of the referrer - Account # of the person referred - Email address of the person Referred ) ) Once again, I responded on XX/XX/XXXX with all the information except for the account # of the referrer since I do not know them well and can not get that info. I reiterate that I have not received the bonus even though I have completed all the requirements and I may file a CFPB complaint. They respond on XX/XX/XXXX stating that the case will be escalated and they will respond within 2 business days. I do not hear back from the company after that and I send a follow up email on XX/XX/2021 ( 5 business days later ). They reply on XX/XX/XXXX, stating that my case will be escalated and someone will contact me. I am contacted on XX/XX/XXXX via phone from the corporate office and the representative I speak to ( XXXX, direct phone : XXXX ) once again states that they can not assist me unless I provide the full name of the person who referred me. Overall, I have fulfilled all the terms of the {$100.00} referral bonus by opening the account using the referral link in the specified timeframe, receiving a direct deposit and yet I have not received the bonus. Despite this, the company is unwilling to help me without the name of the person who referred me, something that is not stated anywhere in the bonus terms as necessary, and something I don't have access to.

I applied for a payday loan on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my plans were to pay this loan off asap because of high interest. Due to death in family I was not able to do this. I finally received my tax refund and immediately went to Ace Cash Express, INC at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NM XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX I went to pay my payday loan in full. I had set up auto debit for repayment of the loan. When I spoke to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX she stated that my balance was {$180.00} XXXX stated they processed my auto debit but that it had not posted yet so XXXX gave me a paid off balance of {$140.00}. I paid the {$140.00} in full to avoid any other fees charges interest, etc. I get a call on the weekend of XX/XX/XXXX saying I still owe {$48.00} and some change. I spoke to XXXX I explained that I was in there office and paid my balance in full. XXXX then says no you still owe one more payment. Not once could any clerk including mgr. admit they made a mistake or prove to me that I still owned one more payment. I asked for a detailed statement so I could do the math and figure out what I did or did not owe. No one including the manager could provided me with a detailed statement show what my beginning balance was minus each payment I made up onto the day of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that I went in and paid my balance in full. To this day I have no ideal what I really owe Ace Cash all I am suppose to do is believe that the amount they make me pay is correct. I would like this company to prove to me what I borrowed what they charged me in interest minus what I paid and no one there would provide me with any type of a statement they refused saying they do n't do that. How can I as a consumer know what I owe someone without any type of statement. I also spoke to the Manager XXXX XXXX and he also could not provide me any type of proof. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made another payment of {$45.00} just because they told me I had to they would not provide any proof I owned any more money. We as consumers are suppose to just pay something because they tell us to as far as I knew I paid my balance in full on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. How do I get a statement from this company so I can figure out if they over changed me or I paid what was due. Again they will not provided me with this documentation. Any bank, credit card, etc. ALWAYS provides a statement WHY? do these payday loan companies not do the same. Please help I want to know I was not overcharged especially when I walk into a company in good faith to pay what I owe in full. Then I get a call saying I still owe. I paid a total of the following : I borrowed {$250.00}, I paid 7 payments of {$45.00} including the additional payment they charged me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX after as far as I knew I was already paid in full on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for a total of {$310.00} now and no one in that office could help me figure out that yes I did own another payment. This is not right these companies should be required to provide statements show what was borrowed what was paid interest charged should all equal out to a XXXX balance. I still feel I did not owe them any more money. Could you please contact this company and get me some type of statement so I may have peace of mind. I feel I was ripped off. I expect a company to know how to handle a transaction especially when I 'm paying off an account in full. Please help me get a statement so I may have peace of mind that I did owe another payment. Why can a company like this get away without providing a statement so we know exactly what we owe. I thank you in advance for some type of resolution. Thank you.

In XXXX, I took out a PayDay Loan with Ace Cash Express. After flipping the payday loan several times, I asked the clerk on how to get out of the debt cycle. She suggested that I " Stop payment '' on the check ; then in a couple of months, pay it in full since it would not hurt your credit, nor would they take you to court.I did exactly that. In late XXXX, I got divorced. I was ordered to pay {$1400.00} in XXXX XXXX for XXXX kids. I had to work two jobs for two years. On XX/XX/XXXX, I had a XXXX XXXX, four XXXX XXXX in my XXXX. This is due to XXXX and working two jobs to pay down divorce debt. I almost died in my living room.I was on XXXX for 1 month trying to recover. Fast foward to XXXX of XXXX. My brother was called by a company named " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ''. He called me to let me know that someone is suing me and they needed to get in touch with me before the court date was established. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX '' ( phone number : XXXX ) and asked to speak with a representative. The lady responded that she needed to " verify '' my identity in order to " Unlock '' my account. I verified who I was, and was transferred to a lady named " XXXX XXXX ''. XXXX notified me of the past debt with Ace Cash Express in the amount of {$550.00}. She asked me how I got in this situation. She was extremely nice, seemed empathetic that I almost lost my life in XXXX from working two jobs, then losing my job for taking FMLA only months later ... then being XXXX between XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. She stated to me that she worked in the " Processing '' Department and was about to send my " File '' over to start " Court proceedings ''. She stated to me if the debt was not taken care of " TODAY '' ALL COURT fees would add up to {$1700.00}, bu t if I took care of it today, it would be {$550.00}. I told her that I just got back on my feet and was not sure how much I could pay. She stated that she could put my account in a " financial hardship '' program and I could pay {$69.00} every two weeks to satisfy my debt. I stated to XXXX that I would need a couple of days before I could make any promises. As soon as I made that statement, she started to berate me. She told me that I " know exactly how much I can afford '' and " should pay now or else she was going to put my account into " refusal to pay '' status ; this would start court action. I repeated I needed a couple of days to figure out how much I could pay. She told me it was my fault for not satisfying the debt previously, that I defrauded Ace Cash Express, and it was my fault for my health conditions. I tried for 15 minutes, while at work, to diffuse the situation and try to work out a payment situation. I repeated that I needed a couple of days to figure out " How much '' I could pay. Again, she threatened me with civil action. I told her good-bye. I called back minutes later to ask for the name of the company that had my debt. She would not answer me. She finally stated " XXXX ''. I said " XXXX '' what? XXXX stated only " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I proceeded to ask for the address, since this could be a fake call from " ANYONE '' trying to get my personal financial information. She scoffed and provided me a PO BOX in XXXX, CA. At no point did she notify me that she was a debt collector. She did not try to verify her company so that I could cross-check to ensure that I was not being scammed. Once I refused to her demands for immediate payment resolution, she demeaned me and continued to threaten me with civil action. I hung up and went back to work.

Start to receive multiple phone calls leaving messages that a law suit is being filed against me by XXXX XXXX that day. Called back. Was told I was served documents ( which I was not ). regarding a debt I owed. I asked who it is that is trying to collect. Was told ACE check services. I explained this was already taken care of years ago. I was told they are filing a law suit regardless. Calls continued. Today got a call from a private number asking for an individual not at this number. Same person called back then asking for that person and myself. I asked who it is. They said they are a process sever and are ready to serve me legal documents today that have been filed against me in Court. I needed to call this number from a law firm to avoid legal actions. I asked what Court & who the other person was they mentioned. They hung up. I called that number. I was told as of XXXX XXXX today they will file against me and levy my bank account and I will no longer be able to use my bank card or account from then on up unless I pay my debt today. I asked which Court it is being filed at. I was told that they do not know as they are in XXXX, AZ. I explained so am I & thats why I was asking. He said your local Court. I again asked what Court. He said he couldn't tell me and I would find out soon enough. I asked further questions in regards to this debt. I explained there is no debt owed as I made the payments that were asked of me & it was settled. He said I did not and that my bank returned payments. I said no way. He said well you are out off luck then there are no further notes on here & you only made 3 payments. I stated I already told them before that these 3 payments settled the original debt. He said if I do not pay today a lot of addt cost will be added. I explained I am fully XXXX & I have no extra money. The debt was settled long ago. I stated I would like more info on the process server and their Company. I was hung up on. I called them back & again was hung up on. After that every time it went to VM. I left a message stating that I would have liked to work something out and that hanging up on someone isnt a solution. It is rude. That I am sure I will be able to find who their supervisor is. Actually checked online. There is no such Company. I called them back left another message letting them know that I am fully XXXX as such they cant levy against my acct as Social Security Payments are exempt. I called back one more time, again answering machine. I told them I will need proof of my debt as they are NOT a law office and to claim so is illegal. I further stated I expect proof of my debt to be send to me within 5 business days as well as any legal paperwork that has been filed. I made them aware that I have USPS informed delivery. So they cant claim they send it if they did not. I then looked at the other number that had originally contacted me. Same number ( except last 2 digits ) but the message they had left me states a diff company. After more research found out that a class action has been filed against them in a diff state for deceptive collections. I agree. Stating you are a process server and that you are a law firm when in fact you are a collection agency is deceptive. Stating that I wont be able to use either my bank card or my account when no lawsuit has been filed or even won as of yet is further deceptive. If you need their names, phone numbers or voice mails I gladly forward them to you.

I missed a phone call from XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 at XXXX. I tried to call XXXX back at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. XXXX called me again at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and I answered the call. A lady on the other end asked for me by name and identified herself as calling from the XXXX XXXX County Clerk 's Office. I immediately googled the number she was calling from and it was indeed to the XXXX XXXX XXXX Clerk 's Automated Information Line so I proceeded to listen. She informed me she had a case in her office filed by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that she needed to serve me for " failure to appear on. '' I asked her what had I failed to appear on? She stated that I she could n't see the details of my case and then asked me if I had received my 7-day notice because she needed to have her officers serve me my legal documents. I stated no I had n't. She verified the address she had on file with me which was my old address. She then told me she was going to put my case on a 30-minute hold so I could contact XXXX XXXX XXXX since I had n't received a 7-day notice. She provided me phone number XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX then told me to reference affidavit number XXXX when I contacted them. I called XXXX at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016. A young lady answered the phone and I told her I was told to contact them by the XXXX XXXX County Clerks office and I have my affidavit number if she could help me. She asked me was my name XXXX XXXX, which I confirmed yes, but found odd seeing she did n't ask me for any personal information to identify me. She then proceeded to tell me that she could see the XXXX XXXX County Clerks Office put me on a 1-hour hold to handle this situation. I asked her who was she representing and was she a law office to which she replied, we have a lawyer on staff. She said I had taken out a loan from Ace Cash Express and had not paid on it and had not taken any of their phone calls. I tried to ask her why did n't her client try to make restitution with me when I called them but she cut me off about XXXX words into my question and began answering a question I had not intention of asking her ( she was doing more speaking than listening - talking over me a lot ). When she was done talking, I informed her that was n't going to be my question and asked her could I ask my question. She stated go ahead. I then asked my question ( listed above ) to which her response was, did you read your contract. You can be sued if you do n't pay. I began to reply and she started talking over me again, so I asked her could I speak to which her response was, you 've already spoken now it 's my turn to speak. I went to reply to her and she said, well, you and I ca n't talk at the same time and hung up on me. I immediately called the XXXX XXXX County Clerks office where I was informed I had been lied to. XXXX XXXX County Clerks office does n't have a claim against me in their office. The actual county clerk I spoke with was very nice, she actually searched me in their system by my name, address, social, birthday and nothing came up. She even asked me my middle name to ensure she did n't have it wrong. I thanked her for her time but before she let me go, she told me, even if they did have a case against me, they would only call in extreme circumstances and a payday loan is n't one of them. She apologized this had happen to me and we got off the phone.

These are the emails I continue to receive even after I've repeatedly asked them to stop contacting me. Case File No : XXXX Balance Amount : {$970.00} Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Case File Transferred to ACE : - XX/XX/2020 Dear Customer, Having checked your Social Security Number through our National Checking Database System, and finding out that you have been never charged for a fraud activity, ACS has decided to give you a chance to take care of this issue outside of the Court without you having a report on your Credit History and SSN. In order to avoid a lawsuit of {$2800.00} against you, we request you to kindly pay the Court Restitution Amount which is {$970.00}. If you settle this matter today, you may be entitled to get some percentage of deduction on the restitution amount. You will have to send us a promissory note in order to hold your case file from being sent to the court house. On a case to case basis, you may be given the solution to pay 45-55 % of the pending amount in the same month & a 30 days extension to settle the rest of the settlement amount as mutually agreed. As we were unable to reach you so we are sending you this final notification through email. This legal matter will require your cooperation, so kindly get in touch with the department to make a payment and freeze down this case. As you are a defaulter on this credit, the following counts are likely to be represented against you at local County Courthouse : ( 1 ) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION ( 2 ) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD ( 3 ) THEFT BY DECEPTION If you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your reporting officer or manager about what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation .We reserve the right to begin litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a debt committed to, by use of the internet and your SSN. In addition we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred. Dear debtor, as we were investigating your profile credit bureau & social security administration we need some right answers from your side. Also we would like to know when you can pay the requested {$970.00} to settle this case.

We have a very old XXXX XXXX XXXX debt with Ace Cash Express. We have since declared bankruptcy in XXXX and that debt was included and my attorney has confirmed they were served with this information and had an opportunity to make a claim, which they did not. They call us all the time even during the day when we are at work even though I have told them repeatedly not to call during work hours and have also told them to contact our bankruptcy attorney it continues. They also tell us that a XXXX XXXX XXXX can not be included in a bankruptcy so it does not matter what our attorney has to say. Our attorney has called their office only to be hung up on. Our attorney has attempted to contact them atleast twice with no success, however the calls continue. Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from a man that stated he worked for the XXXX XXXX XXXX as a Process Server and needed to inform me of a pending case of garnishment giving me a case number and that although he did not have specific information about my case he had a phone number of the attorney 's office who had filed the claim and I should call them prior to my court date to tell them I was in a bankruptcy. I told him that I would have my attorney call the collection company. This man was VERY believable and even acted as if he was sympathetic and express his understanding of how awful these collection companies can be. He completely represented himself as a court employee for my county. I asked him how I could call him back and he gave me a phone number, which was also in my call log ( XXXX ) and stated that the courts had him working from home and this was a remote number the courts had set up for him and the other employees of the court and I was to ask for XXXX when I called his office back. I immediately called my attorney 's office who tried calling all numbers given to me and they also looked up the case number to find it was bogus. I also called the court directly this am and they told me that the case number given to me did not even have the same sequence as their case numbers and we had no pending cases. This collection company has cursed at my husband, they have harassed us non stop, they completely ignore that we are in a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy, they refuse to speak to our attorney and have not provided us any paper work ever to explain this debt to us even though we have requested. I have also asked for copies of any court documents they have filed for my attorney and nothing has ever been received. Calling us and pretending to be a county court employee is our final straw and I feel like someone needs to intervene and investigate this company. It is causing me so much stress it is impacting my job and my ability to stay focused during the day putting my job in jeopardy. PLEASE help me any way you can. Collection company is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The docket number I was given for my court case was XXXX, the Process Server imposter called me from XXXX and told me to call back on that some number and speak to XXXX. My XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I hope your investigation will help others not fall prey to this awful treatment by this company. thank you for your time.

I was contacted through email by someone named XXXX XXXX stating that I was facing four criminal allegations against my name and my social security number. The guy said I was going to be prosecuted within a couple hours in court. Also that they wanted to come to an agreement on a payment plan for a payday loan. I believe the balance was in the area of 300 when I received the loan, but this guy is saying I have a remaining balance of {$1100.00}. And that if Im found guilty then Id have to pay the court fees and lawyer fees and the balance would be {$4400.00}. He also stated that if I was under any probation or payroll that they would need to report it to my manager or superior. He also stated that he was going to file my case with the local police department along with there investigation officer, and that they will be coming to my door step or to my workplace to arrest me and keep me in custody for the next 2-3 months for fraud. So i responded saying I wanted to resolve my debt, and I let him know how much I could do each month till the debt is paid, but then he demanded {$350.00} dollars on the spot to keep it out of court, if not they were going to proceed. So I let him know I couldnt do it that day but could do it the next week. So he agreed and said my first installment would be on the XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I receive another email from him stating that he still hasnt received any payment from me nor an answer. So that if I didnt pay the full amount within 45 minutes, he was going to pursue court action against me. I responded and reminded him that we had just agreed to something yesterday now hes threatening me again. And I reminded him Im trying to repay my debt, and that it was illegal for him to threaten with jail or a bench warrant. And I also stated that maybe bankruptcy was my best option. So he responded again with the same message as the day before that my first installment would be on the XX/XX/XXXX. And I responded with Im going to look into a lawyer. So then he threatens again that if I cant pay within 3 hours that he was going to pursue the court action. He also stated that this was the courts decision so I needed to obey it and if not I would be taken for legal and other requirement procedures for XXXX. He also mentioned again that he would be generating a court date for me and again the local police department along with there AGO investigation officer would be showing up to my doorstep or work place and Id be jailed for four months. He also stated that the loan was provided against my paychecks so that his client Ace Cash Express has all the right and authority to inform my job about this case. So I asked him for the evidence which would be the loan documents to see if that was the remaining balance, and he responded with all the information is in court so hes not mentioned in the affidavit and are under cover and have yet to be mentioned until the case is executed. And then he asked me if I remembered taking out a loan with this company and did not bother paying back. And I responded with Im asking for the loan documents to see if this balance is true because I believe hes lying about it.

I took out a small unsecured payday loan from ACE Cash Express in XXXX for {$300.00} ( maximum allowed under XXXX ). I was unable to repay the debt in full and called prior to the due date to setup a payment arrangement guaranteed to me under Washington State law as ACE still had locations in Washington at that time. I was refused a payment arrangement by the store clerk who told me I would never be able to loan there again. Some months passed with no communication from ACE or anyone else until the end of XXXX from a company called XXXX. I asked XXXX for the paperwork to be sent to me to validate the debt, the information was never sent. Repeated calls were received after asking that they stop and only communicate to me via mail, which they refused to do. From XXXX of XXXX until the XXXX of this year I received multiple calls a day until I blocked all calls from XXXX who left me voicemails threatening legal action and that I could be found guilty of a legal case and left a case number. In one of those voicemails the message claimed that they could help me with my debt to the IRS, this was in fact XXXX as the case number was the EXACT same as left by XXXX previously. The voicemails can be recovered by my service provider upon legal request only at this point as voicemails did not transfer over to my new phone. Today I received a call from a private number stating that legal action would be taken against me and that I should be aware of this as documents were already sent to me I told the lady that I was completely unaware of this and she provided me a number to XXXX XXXX and a case number and wished me good luck. The woman never identified who she was calling for nor did she establish any type of validity of any type other than asking my name. I was later informed that she may be working for a location service. I called XXXX who informed me that they were filing legal action against me for defrauding a loan agency with XXXX XXXX ( where I live not where the debt was incurred ) and for knowingly trying to deceive a lender on a secured loan. I informed her that a payday loan is an unsecured debt and she told me I was wrong and they were going to file a civil case against me. I informed her that the address they had was wrong and I was told it was my duty to tell ACE where I had moved. I replied that I had not moved in 4 years and that the address where I could be contacted was on the original loan application as well as the check used. She stated they were not obligated to send me any information regarding this debt as I was already contacted by ACE and XXXX verifying the validity, which I never was. I then called ACE who told me they no longer had the file and it was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so I called them and they stated the file was with them through XXXX but they had sold it to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The lady at XXXX XXXX XXXX stated that they would send me a copy of the application from XXXX which was a full 1-2 years after I applied for the loan, I never filed for a loan in XXXX through ACE. Multiple calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX go unanswered to a voicemail line.

On Friday, XXXX XXXX, 2017, at approximately XXXX., I received a call from my supervisor, stating that she received a call from a XXXX XXXX XXXX who was claiming to be a dispatcher from a XXXX XXXX XXXX , who was en route to serve me papers for a debt. I am off work sick, and am not at work. I found this to be odd, as payday loans do not use these tactics. I then returned the call to the phone number provided which is ( XXXX ) XXXX. I called this number and asked for a XXXX XXXX, which at that time, I was advised that that individual is not a representation of the company I called. I assumed at this time I was speaking to a rep from XXXX XXXX, but realized I was speaking to a rep from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I then immediately asked the person on the line what is this pertaining to? I expressed displeasure that this is the second time in about 2+ years that I received these types of calls. The caller ( who I never identified ), asked for my social, which I confirmed the last four. He then proceeded to tell me there is a legal case and that any information would be provided at discovery. I immediately stated that I do not wish for him or any of his representatives to contact my employer for any reason. I stated that I would have my attorney contact them as well with this request. The male caller, and I had a semi-heated discussion. He felt that I was rude and threatened to hang up and not help me. I may have become upset during the conversation, because the tactics of threatening to serve someone with papers is not only extreme, but not a practice Ohio uses in this manner. He also then stated that since I would need a lawyer, they can contact him. I stated I will handle my own affairs, and if I need representation then I would get it at that time. After repeatedly stating that I had no issue paying the debt with proof, and getting no where with the caller. He stated that I am a " Quality Debtor or " Experienced Debtor '', or some reference similar and hung up. I then called back wanting to speak to a supervisor, and got the same male on the phone. I then advised him, that I called, but since a person was hiding behind the phone, I could not get anywhere, I am calling back. He then stated " hiding behind the phone? '' and hung up again. I then called ACE Cash Express, and a spoke to XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX., and advised her briefly of the incident. She did mention that my debt was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account # XXXX for {$720.00} ), I had this similar experience about 2 years ago, where I received threatening calls from a " law office '', and upon dialing the number given, it linked back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. It appeared that they are one company representing themselves as attorneys instead of the collection associates they are. I have asked them repeatedly to not contact my employer, and if I had or was given and address or email, would request in writing. Also, while speaking to XXXX from ACE Cash Express, she stated that their company does not practice, or condone practices of legal or lawsuit threats, or any aggressive collection actions.

XX/XX/XXXX, I needed a short term loan, that I would be able to pay off within a day or two by renewing the loan at my bank. I had a really good credit score at the time, and my bank had assured me that it would renew the loan. However, the bank did not renew the loan. I tried to cancel the loan within the three day limit, however that was to no avail. My son and his friend had moved in with me, as I lived in the city, so that they could find employment, however, that turned out to be much more difficult that we had imagined. I tried working with Ace Cash Express to lower the payments, but again to no avail. I became ill with XXXX and XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX, and subsequently hospitalized for this in XXXX of XXXX. I was ill more days than not, as I have a lot of pre existing conditions. Unfortunately, covid hit and my son was laid off from the XXXX XXXX that he had just started working at. He does XXXX XXXX now, but he barely makes anything as XXXX is pretty competitive on that, especially with more unemployed people. XX/XX/XXXX, I am contacted by a " locator service '' XXXX, informing me that I was in violation of some court order and that I needed to be served paperwork, they gave me a case number and a phone number to call. Now I did not get suspicious at this, because the people I talked to had an XXXX Texas accent. Unfortunately, sometime in XXXX, Ace Cash Express had sold my information to sales people, and I am hit with unwanted calls all day long, however, most are robo calls or with a foreign accent. Because of this man 's accent, I assumed it was a legitimate threat. They gave me a " case number '' that I can't seem to find at the moment I am typing this a a phone number XXXX, to call to find out more information, they told me that they couldn't give out the information about the warrant as they could not verify who I was as they were just a " locator '' service. I called the number and found out that Ace Cash Express, who was ordered to pay over XXXX XXXX dollars in XXXX for doing the same thing they are doing now, had filed with the court in XXXX County using my address that I had back when I had a loan from them that I had paid off, instead of using the current address that I was living at when I took out this loan that is in default. I am presuming that they did this because they couldn't get the DA in XXXX to go after me, but XXXX County, which is as dirty a county as they come would. Texas the state 's constitution states that " no person shall ever be imprisoned for debt. '' though many counties are getting away with prosecuting for " hot checks ''. Poor people, like me, who can't afford an attorney, get railroaded into either doing jail time or paying over XXXX XXXX dollars more in fees. I called the DA 's office in XXXX County to confirm this and as they didn't have a case with my name on it yet, they did confirm that they are prosecuting for Ace Cash Express, despite it being against the states constitution, and was advised to seek legal counsel. If I could afford an attorney, I would have paid the loan off.

On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I applied and received a payday loan from Ace Cash Express ( # XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ) in the amount of {$1400.00}. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I realized that I missed my due date ( XXXX XXXX, 2016 ) which coincides with my payday. I called early in the morning from work on XXXX XXXX to let them know I would be stopping by after work. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I renewed the loan amount of {$1400.00} by paying the fees and interest in the amount of {$290.00}. Upon leaving, I assumed my due date would be on my next payday ( XXXX XXXX, 2016 ) as I had been accustomed to. Although I did receive a copy of an agreement for the loan ( which is not an original copy of the signed agreement since the originals bear my signature and the copies they gave me do not ) the information/details were not communicated verbally. On around XXXX XXXX, 2016 I went to the store and spoke to XXXX that I had found my agreement of XXXX XXXX, 2016 and pointed out that the due date was not until XXXX XXXX, 2016. She was unable to help and stated she would let the manager know. I spoke to the store manager XXXX several times and she stated she " could n't do anything '' about it. She suggested that I try their customer service number. I called customer service twice, on XXXX XXXX at XXXX and on XXXX XXXX at XXXX ( reference # XXXX ). Both times I was told that this would be escalated to the DM and RVP and that they would be contacting me within 24-48 hours. I was not contacted within the time I was told nor by the DM or RVP. The only person to contact me was the store manager XXXX stating that the DM had said they called me several times and that basically they could n't do anything about it. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I went in to make the full payment, but XXXX asked if I could wait until XXXX XXXX to see if I would get a phone call from the DM. On XXXX XXXX I went and made the full payment. Later that afternoon when I was on a third call with customer service, the DM XXXX calls me. We spoke for 23 minutes. After explaining and expressing my concern, he seemed to understand and agree that it was unfair that I ended up paying double the fees and interest on the same loan within the same period of time. He said he could not promise anything but regardless of the answer he would call me on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX, 2016. I called XXXX on Tuesday at XXXX and left him a message reminding him that he stated that he would call. XXXX did not call. The main issue is that within the period of XXXX XXXX, 2016 - XXXX XXXX, 2016 I ended up paying twice the fees and interest on the same loan when I should have been allowed to NOT renew the agreement on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Instead it was deceitfully extended and the company ended up double dipping into the fees for the same time period. The manager XXXX clearly stated that it was a business process to tell and verify with the customer the due date more specifically if they were early. XXXX even agreed that it did n't make since that I would have extended the loan 3 weeks early.

Today, I have a recording from a vendor of yours that was beyond horrific. I have the recording on my phone and can forward the copy over. I am going to the news and am going to play this audio that will impact Ace and its customers drastically. Let me rewind this for a second, Yesterday my sister and mother called me telling me that someone was calling them blocked and promised them that I was going to get arrested today. They were harassed by an XXXX number and were called over 5 times a piece within a one-hour window ... They told my family they worked with the authorities. ( Which is a crime to impersonate an officer ). In addition, they got called by multiple different numbers and blocked numbers from the same person. I was at work and my XXXX XXXX XXXX to cause me to almost have a XXXX XXXX. This morning, I called the number back and have the full recording on my phone that is a little over 15 minutes long. The female who answers the phone told me that processors were trying to find me and that they had no control over how many times they call people. They admitted to breaking a couple rules here and there but stated it had to be done to collect on past due customers. I requested to speak with a manager and or legal team to report the harassing phone calls to my family and myself. ( Mind you- every phone call can result in thousands in fines per the FDCPA Act ) I was transferred to the owner who told me he was an attorney and he began to call me names and called me a loser! I told him that he was breaking laws and he said this was past the collection stage so that he could talk to me in whatever manner he wanted to. The way Ace allows vendors or third-party agencies to treat their customers is beyond unacceptable. I am going to contact the CFPB, the XXXX, The federal trade commission and post blogs on social media to create a class action lawsuit. There is no way a vendor or third party agency should be above the law and not held to the same standards as other companies. Who is ACE contracting to collect on their loans? Why does Ace treat their customers so poorly and believe that this is acceptable? Please have a member of Legal reach out to me by end of day tomorrow or I will contact my attorney and put together a class action lawsuit. I live in XXXX so I have no issue walking the call down to any location so that this person and company can be taken down. I have a serious medical condition and I might have to be admitted into the local hospital along with my family members. This company XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX is used and backed by ACE to treat its customers like trash while breaking laws. Ace needs to be held accountable for all of this. Contact me by end of day tomorrow or I will reach out to the media and play the call on live TV. I typed the number they called in from in XXXX and other customers are getting the same response. Let me know what email is needed to forward the call over. I have screenshots and can prove this company was hired by Ace.

I was contacted by a company claiming to be Ace Cash Express in XXXX. The representative stated that a server was on the way to my house if I didn't take care of this debt with them right now on the phone. I would have to call back and give a person a code in order to intercept the server. I was threatened with legal action and garnishment. The communication tactics were threatening and very aggressive. I called to reason with the person. They would not take payment arrangements. I asked for debt validation. After not receiving any information for more than a month, I called them yesterday ( XX/XX/20 ). The lady I spoke to was very aggressive, making threats. She refused to give me an address, saying that bc they handle sensitive cases such as divorce and child support, they don't give out their address bc they have to protect their clients. She asked me to hold while she looks for their P.O. Box then returned to tell me they only take electronic payments and could not give me an address. I asked for a website and she told me that they didn't have one bc they were a private company. She said they were a pre-litigation firm and the judge would add {$2400.00} to the amount that I owe. She said that I should pay my bills if I didn't want to be in this predicament. She was yelling and being abusive. I asked for a manager and she stated that I could not speak to anyone else bc she was the floor manager. I tried to set up reasonable payment arrangements and she said that was not possible if I wouldn't agree to pay {$100.00} today. I told her that I didn't believe I owed the debt because I have not received debt validation from them. She hung up abruptly. I called the number back, hoping to get a different person. The same lady with a XXXX accent answered the call and said, See xxxx ( my name ), I am the only one you can speak to. If you call this number, I will answer bc I am the manager. She did not say Hello or tell me her company name. I told her that she was aggressive, rude, and disrespectful. She said well, you should pay your bills. I hung up and a lady called me back. This person apologized for other lady. She gave me her name and went over details about the alleged debt. She said that she couldn't take less than {$150.00} ( other lady said 100 ). I asked about a settlement. She gave me an amount of {$400.00}. I said I didn't have that amount but could pay {$320.00}. She agreed and promised that I would have a paid in full receipt within 15 minutes and that I would have a letter that would be all I needed to have item removed from my credit. I asked what name would appear on my bank statement, she said XXXX XXXX. I told her that other lady told me Ace Cash Express. She said they were a pre-litigation firm. I didn't receive receipt or an email. After 6 hours, I still didn't receive anything. Even this morning. The phone number given to me was XXXX.

My prepaid XXXX debit card issued to me by ace check cashing @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC XXXX, has been comprimised as of XX/XX/2022. I have had unauthorized charges and or withdrawals taken from this account. I recieve my XXXX directly deposited to this card. My funds were not available to me when i went to make a purchase today [ XX/XX/2022 ] and i was una ble to do so due to lack of funds which is when I became aware that my card/account has been used by an unknown unauthorized user. I proceeded to Ace check cashing located on XXXX XXXX and notified them that my card has some unauthorized charges. After doing so I was issued a temparary card and given a XXXX number to contact. So i called the XXXX number [ XXXX ] the agent answered the phone i explained that my debit card was being used by someone I was not aware was using my card. The agent responded i can help you with that. Then the agent asked me for the information from the temperary card as well as my email adress and phone number to verify my account and identity. I provided the agent with this information at which time the agent responded that they begin to rectify the problem and after a brief message I would recieve a confirmation number and they would be in touch. So i waited for the confirmation number aproximately XXXX seconds and the line went dead. When I called back to inform the agent that I did not recieve a confirmation number prior to the call being disconnected a diffrent agent aswered the phone and told me that this line was for retreving coupons and dicounts at grocery store chains. I replied i just called this number and informed the agent that my debit card was comprimised and he proceeded to tell me that he was able help me in addition to collecting my card information. This new agent replied once again that this is a couponing agency and proceeded to give me a new number [ XXXX ]. After calling this number and recieving a number not in service message I called the original XXXX number I was given [ XXXX ] again and was again told that this was a coupon hotline. So i asked the agent why did they both agree that they could rectify my issued with my card and collect my card information. The agent responded I dont know sir I was not the agent who answered that call. Then he once again went into his sales pitch for the coupons at this time I ended the call. Then I googled who to contact for debit card fraud and I was given the XXXX number. I called both on the weekend and after office hours so I was refered to this website and I began to submit my complaint. I would like to also note that this XXXX number that is a coupon line is also the reference number displayed on the back of the debit card I was issued by ace check cashing of XXXX XXXX. [ XXXX ] The total amount of finanance I lost is XXXX $ over the course of this month through unauthorized charges.

This company called my husband on XX/XX/19 about an outstanding debt that had been paid off years ago. They wanted payment over the phone and when we asked for written record of the debt, as well as wondered out loud why we'd never, ever, ever received anything in writing about the debt still being outstanding, the woman asked, " Oh, you didn't? '' then got REALLY quiet, and then we were mysteriously disconnected and no one called us back about this matter that was supposedly VERY urgent only moments ago. When I called back to inquire about a company website, or a way that I could verify -- even through a third party -- the legitimacy of the business, I was told that there was no website because they " didn't serve the public. '' When I was told they were a " mediation firm '' where people could pay into their outstanding debts, I noted out loud that it seems like that would be " serving the public, '' and that if I could be asked to provide my credit card information over the phone to pay a supposedly outstanding debt, I should be able to verify online in SOME way that the company was legitimate. I asked to speak to a manager, who consistently interrupted me, would not provide me with verifying information, and eventually berated me by saying that he thought it was " pretty XXXX that you would call a number back that you thought was a scam. '' I reiterated that I was only trying to verify that the company WASN'T a scam. When he finally gave me the full name of the company, I brought it up online while on the phone with him and told him that our situation sounded like an exact replica of several other complaints on their XXXX website. I asked why he wouldn't be able to provide a physical address or other way to verify the legitimacy of the company and he said that he could not provide a physical address " out of protection for his employees '' ( fine, I get that ), and that he couldn't provide me any other way to verify the company 's legitimacy without first having our case number and my personal information. We went around this probably a half dozen times, and it always ended by me saying that I didn't believe my personal information OR the case number were material to simply having SOME third-party way to verify that the company a ) really existed, and b ) wasn't trying to take money illegally from people. I made it clear that scam calls are common and that he should understand that, and that numbers like that get reported to the FTC. After he berated me some more about how ridiculous and difficult I was being ( odd response, given he wouldn't give me ANY way to verify the actual company ), he gave me his extension and told me that I could call him if I wanted to ( after telling me never to call them again ) and then hung up on me. They never responded to our request about receiving record of the debt in writing.

I don't owe them anything ; I keep getting emails from these people from time to time. I never get any calls. etc. but every now and then I get these crazy emails and it needs to stop. Again, I never took a pay day loan from them. XXXX Re : ARREST WARRANT ISSUED_REFERENCE-CASE FILE NUMBER : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX PrintRaw message Ms XXXX To : ACE CASH EXPRESS XXXX okay, I'm forwarding this email over to FCC, other government officials and the internet crime center, etc. I already contacted the attorney general office for my state, the state police as well as the local police. On Tuesday, XX/XX/2020, XXXX XXXX EDT, ACE CASH EXPRESS XXXX wrote : ARREST WARRANT ISSUED CASE FILE DOWNLOADED LAWSUIT COST - {$2500.00} ( INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEE/COURT FEE/ALL TAXES ) LAST DATE TO FILE LAWSUIT TODAY SETTLEMENT AMOUNT- {$300.00} ( ONE TIME PAYMENT ) This is in reference to your Case File Number # XXXX with ACS ( ACE CASH SERVICES ) in order to notify you that after sending several emails and making calls to you on your phone number, we were not able to get hold of you. So the IC3 ( Internet Crime Complaint Center ) has decided to mark this case as a flat refusal and press charges against you. Your account with XXXX is in Final Collections. According to our records, your outstanding balance was {$690.00} It may be possible that you may have some financial hardship with you. So, we are just giving you a last chance that if you just make a payment of {$300.00} by today then we will close this account as paid in full with XXXX balance. We do hope that you will work out with this offer. Or, else we won't be able to help you out. Do revert back if you want to get rid of these legal consequences and want to make payments within the next 48 hours or else the case will be downloaded against you. The opportunity to take care of this voluntary is quickly coming to an end. We would hate for you to lose the option of resolving this before it goes to the next step which is a Lawsuit against you, but to do so you must take immediate action. You can avoid this by taking care of this now. It is quick and easy : Do reply us right now and provide us the date on which you can make the payment. If you do not take immediate action : We will be forced to download this case against you and once it is downloaded the creditor has entire rights to inform your employer regarding this and if you are found guilty under the bench of jury then you have to bear a law suit which will be amounting to {$4500.00} and will be totally levied upon you and that would be excluding your bail charges, your attorney charges and the due amount pending on your name {$690.00}. Thanks for being our customer, Best Regards, XXXX XXXX Customer Service Manager, ACS United States

This company contacted me on XX/XX/2020 regarding a debt I've disclosed was opened without my permission. They stated they will show up to my personal home address to serve me and then stated that they are in jurisdiction to have police arrive with them. They claim they have the legal authority to do so when I questioned a debt collection agency representative showing up at my home. They said they are not a debt collection agency and don't have to follow as such. Told me I should study law and understand they are within their rights to call me names and threaten to show up to my home with police, because it's not illegal. I was called " ghetto '' by a XXXX XXXX and continued to be told they would contact me 100 times a day on a dialer since I wouldn't stop calling them trying to rectify the situation. They also said they would not document that I was requesting information on how to get this handled since account is not mine, and they stated they would document me as a refusal and show up to my home. I spoke with 3 different representatives. I unable to capture the first one 's name because he refused to provide me with company information upon request. Refused to send any written correspondence or confirm a good call back number so I could confirm was not scam. When found number to call, it went to ONE rep, XXXX XXXX, who continued to hang up on me every time I called and tell me they would only talk to a " irresponsible '' person like me when I hired an attorney. I explained I'm not hiring an attorney and that I wanted the calls to stop since they weren't wanting to talk to me, and XXXX XXXX stated they will call as many times as they liked. As well, no mini-miranda was stated at any point during any of the calls, not inbound recordings or when inbound to rep and not once during the outbound calls made to my cell phone after confirming they were speaking with me during the one phone call. I attempted many times to contact the company back and continued to get the same representative XXXX XXXX. A rep XXXX XXXX also told me he wouldn't talk to me but instead contact my supervisor and tell them what I'm responsible for, he said he was sure they would love to hear how I don't like to pay my bills. I advised that I do not want any contact to employer and I was immediately transferred to XXXX XXXX. They state that the calls are recorded but told me that I was lying about the statements made to me and refused to assist me any further. I am worried my information is being shared without any validation they are speaking to correct party or disclosing this was a debt. I apologize if this is all over the place as I am beyond frazzled and scared that this is going to escalate and I could lose my job over this due to calls.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX that stated I was having two allegations from XXXX County which I then begin to panic. The gentleman provides me with a reference number XXXX, and a phone number to call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I call the number and Im speaking to some girl and provide her with the reference number and she begins to tell me that ACE cash express is filing legal proceedings for two allegations against me for : 1. Broken legal contract on failure to repay the loan, and 2. Attempting to defraud ACE because I knowingly failed to repay. I am completely unaware and blindsided by this that I explain to the lady that I never received any mail in regards to this as I do not receive mail at my physical address, and that I use a PO Box . She stated that I would have to pay upwards of {$3000.00} if it were to go to court and I would have these marked in public records making it hard for me to get a house or new car, etc. I ask her if there is any way to take are of this issue and she stated that she would talk to her legal advisor. After being on hold for 1 minute and 30 seconds she comes back on the line and says that they are willing to settle and not take me to court if I paid {$1800.00} to the company by the name of XXXX XXXX. After stating that I couldnt pay that now she was able to make a payment arrangement of {$450.00} bi weekly that would be drafted from a company named XXXX, but I would have to secure a debit card on file. None of these companies match or correspond to anything I have ever heard. After I asked if I would be receiving a receipt or some type of document stating my name and who I was paying to and the amount she stated, the best I could do for you is give you a confirmation number. I began pressing the issue and she stated that upon completion of payment for the entire {$1800.00} I would receive an email attached with the deferred documents and legal action would no longer be taken against me. I mind you that the initial loan was only {$200.00} on an account opened in XXXX of XXXX! This is mind boggling, and I feel shaken in my boots because I have never been notified of this issue. I feel like they waited so long, if this real, just to get more money out of me. I dont know what to do. Ive never been in any legal action and I feel threatened, worried, and confused. Also, when I asked if XXXX County, the county I reside where the loan was initially taken out, would have any documentation of this issue she stated, feel free to reach out to them. I also asked for another phone number to call and she said that they would be the company proceeding this matter. This is crazy and I need help.

Yesterday on XX/XX/19 I received multiple phone calls from a lady claiming to be a compliance officer contracted with XXXX County Florida. She called my job, my parents, my ex-husband, and a person that is under a legally binding restraining order from my daughter. When she contacted my HR department, she told them that I was involved in a legal criminal action lawsuit. When I returned the number in case file, they said they were XXXX XXXX XXXX. They said it was in reference to a payday loan. They said that if I did not cooperate, they would seize all of my bank accounts and assets. They said that I would never be able to open an account in the United States again. I hung up, and contacted an attorney I know. I called back with him, and a different person answered the phone with a different name. When I asked to directly pay the debt, she said it would be very hard to convince these attorneys to take my payment and they had been working on it so I would have to pay more money. I told them they did not have permission to call me at work, and not to call me at work. Phone number XXXX. Case number XXXX. I hung up. The attorney that I called with said it was a scam. This morning, XX/XX/19, I received several more phone calls from an unknown number. My HR department also received another threatening phone call from this compliance officer. I answered the fifth phone call, and the lady started screaming at me on the phone. She stated her name was XXXX XXXX, and she worked for XXXX County. She started telling me that I am being located, and found. And that the police would be coming to my job. I explained that I had already called ACE Cash express, and this was not the company that my loan was sold to. She hung up on me. She then called back and left a threatening message that I was facing legal charges for hanging up on her, and that I would never have a bank account in the United States again. I called ACE Cash express to resolve the issue, but they sold my loan to someone else, so therefore I called that number, and they sold to someone else. I left a message at the last known number to pay my debt. These people claim to be XXXX XXXX. I would like to report this because I Specifically asked them not to call my work, and they continue to call my HR department. Also misrepresenting information to me and my employer. They also called someone who was under a permanent legally binding restraining order from myself and my daughter. This whole incident was very upsetting. I do have an outstanding loan somewhere, but I am not sure where to pay it. I am not opposed to paying it, I didnt realize that I had that loan, and I moved last year.

XXXX XXXX XXXX have claimed that I owe them XXXX dollars and told be to pay them by using prepaid cards. And is currently saying that they will sue me if I do not pay, but I remember paying it off, or so I thought. Below is the email they sent me : LEGAL ATTORNEY Mon, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( 3 days ago ) to me This is ACE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX it is a parent company which owns and operates more than 350 parental payday loan websites- XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX XXXX etc. You have used one of them to get this loan approved and you never bothered to pay this debt, so the creditor wants to know your intention about this matter of yours. What would you like to do? The principal amount was {$300.00} and now with the late fee and taxes it includes the Attorney charge, NFS Charge, Affidavit Charge, Rate of Interest the initial amount of {$300.00} goes up to {$980.00}. We are talking about the loan amount of {$300.00} that you took with the company ACE, they do have a signed copy of the contract which is signed under your email address XXXX and also would like to mention your computer 's IP address was also traced when you were signing the contract with the company. The company has more than 14 technical pieces of evidence in order to prove the money was successfully deposited into your bank account. We have settlement amount for you : 1. If you can make a one-time payment of {$400.00} by today then we can close your case file with this amount only. 2. If you are looking for bi-weekly payment then you have to pay a total amount of {$500.00} with payment arrangement and you can pay {$100.00} bi-weekly till paid in full. 3. If you are looking for monthly payment then you have to pay a total amount of {$600.00} with payment arrangement and you can pay {$200.00} monthly till paid in full. Kindly let us know what type of payment arrangement you are looking for. Do provide us with the date on which you can pay so that we can update your account. We would like to update you that once you will pay off the balance thereafter we will provide you a Full And Final Payment Receipt stating that your account has been paid in full with XXXX balance and you are no longer a debtor for the company. Also we will remove your name from the Major Credit Bureau. Do revert back for any queries, And I said it's okay, that I don't mind paying in off, but there is no way I will do prepaid cards, especially one that I do not know. I would rather pay in check, debit card, or cash order if needed. I just never knew that I had a debt still, since they took money out of my account repeatedly

I used a referral link https : XXXX to download the XXXX app, but I saw no confirmation upon sign up nor did I see anywhere within the app to add my referral. I requested by email that XXXX confirm the referral is on my account and that I will get the {$50.00} bonus if I receive a qualifying direct deposit of {$500.00} or more. XXXX email and phone support agents refused to acknowledge my promotion eligibility despite it being publicly offered here XXXX XXXX XXXX and me fulfilling the signup terms. I used the referral link https : XXXX. It goes to the XXXX website. The website then links to the XXXX and XXXX app store, with no personalized referral link, where I downloaded the app. I signed up assuming I was a referee. Nowhere in downloading the app nor in the signup process did it allow me to enter the referral code, or " order a card using the link provided '', or display the referral code in the original URL link. I asked XXXX by email and phone to please confirm the referral code XXXX : XXXX is on my account as a referee. XXXX said it was unable to provide any confirmation and admitted by email that its system does not even allow the bank to confirm which codes are on which account : " Please be informed that we do not have visibility of your referral code and usually referral code will be included to the referral link email that you received. '' XXXX advertises the referral program but provides no way for referees to confirm the referral promotion is applied to their account nor eligibility for the {$50.00} promotion upon completion of the {$500.00} direct deposit. None of my account creation emails or materials provide any confirmation nor terms of the bonus despite this being advertised to the general public and the referral links successfully linking to the website. This is unfair and misleading as it tricks consumers into thinking they are a referee eligible for a {$50.00} promotion, thereby eliciting a direct deposit of {$500.00} with a promotion that is promised to the consumer but without confirmation of the terms provided before depositing the money. This also harms referer 's and robs them of their {$50.00} for the time they spent in acquiring referrals. XXXX is unfairly and deceptively tricking customer-referrers into advertising the product, promoting its website, and new referees depositing money with no confirmation of the terms nor way to track the earning of the promotional value offered. To date, I have received no automatic confirmation nor will XXXX provide a manual confirmation of the promotion being applied nor that it will be honored manually.

Hello Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? I am XXXX XXXX, I am Writing to You All about trying to apply on Several attempts, To apply for a Payday loan at Ace Cash Express. The first time was On XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was turned down due to mistakes on a credit report. Then, I wrote and asked them what happen on the application? They then, wrote to Me again and told me to apply One more time at the same place. I did what they told me to do over the Phone. I applied two times in ONe day? I still was turned down. Then I called the Corporate Office on XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXe. Told me to wait on the Certified Letter coming in from her? I did. It came in on XXXX XXXX XXXX. I stated I did not owe them anything so I should NOT have any trouble reapplying for my loan. I waited Until the day, of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I went to the store on XXXX XXXX here in XXXX Tennessee. She then said where is the Letter, I gave it to her, and She laughed at Me. She then, took the information and told me to write all of it down. I did again and fill out the loan application to get started with. I did? She then told me to write on the application my full name address and how much of the loan I qualify for. She then said, Ok? then 2 pieces of Paper come up and she told me, My XXXX XXXX You do not qualify for a loan. I then asked here why? She told me that the XXXX pulled up some derogatory information that was in the computer at the time. I told her my score is XXXX and why are you all using a POS machine on a Payday loan anyway. I did not know we had to have very good credit in order to receive a payday loan. That should not have happen on the third time around. She basically pulled information up so she would deny me of the loan. I then told her, Let me speak to the Owner or the manager. She then told me to leave, because the owner is not here, and I needed to get Out '. She had ran a credit check on me without, My permission or telling me this information. Then they would not let me speak to anyone on it. Calling the texas office, did not help either. they said she did what was right from the start. I do not think Pulling Up a credit Report without, permission or even asking me before hand was Right. This is how I was turned down for the Loan in the first Place. She called me today and asked me to go to other places To Reapply, I said No, I may report this to someone. It is unfair to Me. I do not have anymore gas to go and reapply at the same place or even another store. She then Hung up the phone. I think this is just wrong to do customers this way.

XX/XX/2020 : received a call that I missed in which they left a voicemail stating they were calling me as a legal representative in regards to a case number and that they would now have to contact my employer to locate me. Then given the number to XXXX to call. I called to find out what it was because I thought it was something in regards to my unemployment benefits since Im currently out of work and needing the assistance. I was then told it was for ace cash express and I needed to pay XXXX and I stated I couldnt pay that right now so they gave me an amount of XXXX for by-weekly installments I was driving and asked if I can call back and the representative said if I hung up she would mark me as refusal to pay. I was driving.. I ended up disconnecting as I got to my destination. XX/XX/2020 : I received a second call from the legal representative in which she ends the call with my name and you will be located .... in a threatening manor. So I call the 855 number left again and was then trying to figure out more information about the legitimacy of this company but they refused to answer when I asked who they were. And so I hung up. I felt intimated and then just reached back out to same number and got a representative on the line who then placed me on hold and transferred me to the representative from from. I then explained to her at this point I wasnt able to fulfill an agreement of paying the amount of XXXX dollars BI-WEEKLY as I wasnt working right now due to corona and not expected to return back to work at the end of month. Hopefully. She then said she was going to put me on hold and see if she can talk to in-house counsel to hold off. She placed me on a 1 minute hold and said nope they cant hold off, so she is going to have to put me down as refusal to pay. and an officer was going to locate me at my address to take me to court. I didnt refuse to pay anything nor have I ever refused to pay this company, I have had little to no contact that I can recall from ace to collect payment back on my payday loan borrowed.. I tried to work with their hired debt collector to see if I can pay when I began working and they refused. So now they are threatening to serve me and cost me XXXX of court fines from a XXXX dollar loan I owed in which I was paying on through payments.. I feel as this is unfair to me as I wasnt given much option to pay back what I owed especially since Im out of work right now and have no income to pay. I feel just harassed at the fact I was threatened to have officers look for me at my old job, home, etc..

I received a message from phone number XXXX stating that if I did not call " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' back at XXXX then paperwork would be filed with the county XXXX where I live. I called the number back and was put on the phone with a " XXXX XXXX '' ( direct number XXXX '' who was very rude. He was very quickly stating information that I owed {$1400.00} to Ace Cash Express and that if I did not pay in full today, not only would paperwork be filed with county XXXX, but I would also have criminal charges brought for " check fraud ''. Mr. XXXX repeatedly hung up on me ( five times ) when I tried to get more information from him. He claimed I was issued certified letters which I never received or signed for. He stated I was being evasive and abusive by asking further questions. Because of his threats and intimidation, I did agree to make payment. I was transferred to " XXXX XXXX '' phone number XXXX to make payment. She stated I would have to call my bank because the charge was being blocked for fraud. It was eventually put through and my card was charged for {$710.00}. I then received an email from " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' asking for an electronic signature for the payment agreement. This did not match where the numerous people on the phone stated they were calling from. When I check my bank account activity, the payment shows it was charged to " XXXX XXXX XXXX '', also not where anyone said they were calling from. Since none of these names matched up and I had not gotten email confirmation/receipt for my payment, I called back to ask for clarification on where I just paid. I was again transferred to Mr. XXXX. He hung up on me for the sixth time of the day when I asked for more information. I then called Ace Cash Express who let me know that I did in fact have a balance with them, but it was only {$280.00}, NOT {$1400.00} as stated by Mr. XXXX. They let me know they sold the account to a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' phone number XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX who let me know they did not hire any mediation firm and were not even actively collecting on the account. They stated they certainly had no plans of filing court paperwork or attempting to file criminal charges. They asked me for the information on who just called me which I gave. XXXX XXXX XXXX does not recognize " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' as anyone they work with. They told me I was likely scammed. I then called Mr. XXXX back who did agree to refund my card, but stated he was filing court paperwork to " have me prosecuted '', called me an " XXXX '' then hung up on me again.

A couple of years ago ( about XXXX ), I took out a {$300.00} payday loan with XXXX XXXX, in XXXX County, California. I intended to pay it off but forgot about it, when I moved to XXXX, California, to rent a room from my Sister in XXXX, California. A while back, I received e-mails from XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX demanding payment of {$400.00}. As background, I am XXXX XXXX XXXX, and about XXXX, I became a victim of identity fraud when I got a phone call at my workplace, with the caller stating I owed them {$500.00} and if I didn't pay this amount immediately, using a card purchased at XXXX, the caller 's company would sue me in a court action, and I mostly likely would lose my job. This phone call frightened me and I did as instructed, bought the card and loaded {$500.00} onto it, and sent the payment. After I had completed this payment, I spoke about it with the California Attorney General 's Fraud Unit on the phone and that representative told me there was no way to trace the payment and I was out the money. They also told me it was probably a scam, and I should never send funds this way. With regard to my current situation, I have responded to the loan company, ACE, but they insist that I buy an XXXX card, load {$400.00} onto it and send the funds this way to ACE. I am wary of sending payment via an XXXX card because around XXXX XXXX, a local tv channel news item told the viewer not to use an XXXX card for payment, they were a scam. Also, I am leery of sending funds to the e-mail ACE because of the bad English grammar, in their email, which is another sign it might be a scam. So, today I sent another e-mail ( we have been going round and round about this payment ) to ACE, XXXX XXXX, advising him I want to make a traceable payment to resolve my debt of {$400.00} but he insisted in his e-mail I need to use the XXXX payment process, which is different from the e-mail I got from XXXX XXXX XXXX of ACE, who told me to pay using a XXXX and they would send me the correct instructions to make this payment, but XXXX XXXX stated in his e-mail, I can only use the XXXX method. Hence, my contact with your office. I need correct information ( perhaps a legal corporate service of process address for XXXX XXXX ) to send the {$400.00} to ACE and resolve this matter. Today, I spoke on the phone with XXXX of your staff and he tried to get a good mailing address for XXXX XXXX, but he couldn't. I think I'll look at the California Department of Corporations listing and see if I can find an XXXX XXXX service of process address.

I received an email on XX/XX/2020 stating I owed an outstanding balance of XXXX ( higher than actual amount owed ) and that the 'law firm would settle for XXXX '. Then stated if I do not respond to the email in 72 hours they would, garnish my wages, contact my employer and ftc. I responded back by asking for a debt validation & what kind of payment plans they offer. They stated it was from ACE loan online and I could pay a one time payment of XXXX paid in full by friday XX/XX/2020. I again asked for debt validation and I received a response saying I could pay {$850.00} today or 2 'payment of XXXX from today.. ' and " if you are looking for the payment arrangement then you can pay in five installment of {$280.00}, kindly update us the date from which you can start making payment. Do revert ASAP '' I again asked for debt validation then received an email addressed to XXXX XXXX stating if he wanted to pay his debt he had to get a vanilla prepaid card and load the funds onto that card and email it to the law firm. Becoming suspicious I again asked for debt validation, and I received an email stating that once the payment will go through they will close the case file and provide a receipt stating paid in full. I then emailed them stating I would not reply to any form of communication if I did not get a physical copy of debt validation. I stated I would be reporting them to the FTC, XXXX and the CFPB. I then received the following email " We're Sorry! We cant disclose if you want to see documents then you need to help me out with your attorneys information and once documents have handed over to your attorney then NO PAYMENT PLAN will be given to you. After that willing or not you need to fight these things into your local county courthouse. we're not denying that you will not get anything once your file has been submitted for garnishment then we will manage to send soft copies of your documents at your physical address but at this point, there is no way to help you with Date 's and Time. Do revert ASAP Thanks & Regards XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' I responded by stating that their email was reported as a scam to extort money from induviduals and I was forwarding it to the places I stated in previous emails. I then told them if anyone would garnish my wages or attempted to access my bank account that I would close it and put a stop payment. and since they are not validating the debt I have no reason to believe anything stated in the emails. They have refused to validate the debt.

Received a voicemail from a person claiming to be calling on behalf of XXXX County and was calling to inform me that unless I called them back, they were going to make " multiple attempts '' to serve me papers at my home and place of business between the hours of XXXX and XXXX the following day or and if they were unable to, I would end up missing my scheduled court date. Caller provided me with a case number, their return phone number ( XXXX ), and a name ( XXXX XXXX ). Since this is not the first time I have received a strange call like this, I proceeded to call the XXXX County Clerk and District Clerk to try to verify the case number, check for any court dates if applicable, and find out what the matter was in regards to. After speaking with several different departments at XXXX County, I found that XXXX County had ZERO records of any such case number or my name in their system at all. I proceeded to call this XXXX XXXX back at the number provided and he informed me that the call was in reference to an old payday loan debt with a company called Ace Cash Express. This is the same company/debt that I had already filed a complaint against with the CFPB a couple years ago because they called impersonating a XXXX County Deputy ( they even made the caller ID show up as XXXX County ) and threatened to have me arrested if I did not pay the debt. Since this is against the fair debt act, I filed a complaint but the complaint ended up being closed with no resolution because when CFPB contacted Ace Cash Express, they denied the claim/debt was theirs and the debt collector that they had sold the debt to refused to respond at all. CFPB requested additional information since they were unable to get any response but since the debt collector refused to give me any more information I had none to provide and the complaint was eventually closed. Now, two years later, I am getting the same threatening calls at my pwork. This time threatening to seize my car and take me to court if I did not pay the debt TODAY, and that if it ended up going to court, that the amount due would be 5 times more than the amount they were asking for now. When I explained that I had already filed the complaint with CFPB the last time they called ( to which they had never responded to ), the caller got very angry, talking very fast and threatening saying " they were owed this money '', that they " were going to seize my XXXX XXXX '', and then said " Good Luck in Court '' and hung up.

I had an installment loan from Ace Cash Express for under {$700.00} on which I made several payments. I was unable to continue paying the payments and the loan defaulted. Yesterday at my work I received a call from someone claiming to be from my county clerks office needing to serve me papers because I am being sued. They asked if I had my 7 day notice with me. I said I had no idea what they were talking about and she suggested I contact the attorneys office and gave me the number XXXX and told me to refer to docket # XXXX. I called and was given to " XXXX XXXX '' at extension XXXX who had this horribly scary story of me being taken to court and need to have the amount of over {$1800.00} paid immediately or the judge could garnissh wages or put me in jail because since the auto drafted payments from my account in the beginning, the ones that did n't go through were considered to be like a bad check. The lady had me in such a XXXX I gave her every dime I had to my name off my prepaid debit card. The amount I paid was {$620.00} which is more than the original amount of the loan. She said they were going to contact my county clerk to put in a stop order. She told me that they were going to take another {$620.00} out in two days, XXXX XXXX, and the remaining balance of XXXX would be taken out on XXXX XXXX. I was told that if any of these payments did n't go through I would go to jail. Yesterday afternoon after regaining my composure and looking at the company that debited my card the red flags went up. It was not taken by an attorney 's office, but rather by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I then contacted my county clerks office who had no idea whatsoever what I was talking about and that no such paperwork, docket or case existed. I then went online and researched the name and phone number only to find they have gotten in hot water all across the country for doing this type of thing. Why are they allowed to continue this practice. I have had to report my card stolen and get a new card so they can not continue to charge my account. Upon figuring this out I called this lady back who was never available to take my call, but eventually had the lady who answered ask me if I had the rest of the money ready for her to get off my card. I told her to give her the message that I had gone to the county clerks office and found out this was all a lie, not to dare try charging another penny to my cards and that I would begin taking action against her. No one has called back.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a voicemail from a " unidentified '' debt collector but the representative left the name of XXXX XXXX who told me that I had a payday loan that I did not pay and they were going to file charges in XXXX County on Monday and the call was to make me aware of that because they were not able to get in contact with me but, that I can call the legal department at XXXX to discuss the matter with a case # XXXX. They were going to locate me and contact my employer if I did not call back so it was imperative to call immediately. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the number back only to be asked for the last four digits of my social to verify that it is actually the person who owns the debt. I was then told that the account was locked and that they needed to get a paralegal to unlock the account because it was going to be filed on Monday so he had to place me on a brief hold. ( Already Suspicious The guy gets back on the phone to ask me if I remembered taking out a loan out with Ace Check Cashing in XX/XX/XXXX and that I failed to pay the balance of {$440.00} and the amount now that will be filed for in court is {$1400.00} if I could not pay the original amount today. I also will be charged with defrauding a business and using a financial institution to do that. I honestly do not remember the loan as I took out a few of them and my account was closed due to fraud ironically but, that if I owed this amount I would want to settle the debt, just in installments because I could not pay the entire amount today. The gentleman asked me about my pay dates and if I had a bond trace that I could secure via credit card or debit card with a visa logo on it. I agreed and I told him that as soon as he sends me documentation of what I owe and who this is going to then I would be more than happy to set up a payment plan. He told me that they do not do this and that they could only send me a dismissal of debt letter when I have completed the payment. I told him that I can not give out my bank information without knowing where it is going and he told me that he would notate the account with my concerns and why I could not pay and told me " good luck in court ''. This to me is a scam or something because it is not a legit business practice to ask for financial information and not supply you with who they are. This company needs to be investigated for fraud and I plan on reaching out to Ace Check Cashing because if I owe them money then I want to pay.

My name is XXXX XXXX, First let me start off by saying Im very much experience in the collection business and I was not astound by how I was being handled with on the phone. I received a very unprofessional and threatening call by some company that works with the Ace payday services which they claimed they where a hired locator in XXXX XXXX by ace. But I do remember receiving a {$100.00} loan from ace checks cashing place and then bad times hit! And I needed that loan now I must have lost track of the loan and forgot. This third party agency that I do not know the name of called my Mother, Father extended family and literally stated to each of them that they are a locator for XXXX XXXX gave them a classified number which they stated is a case number for XXXX XXXX but possibly might just be a file number in their system. I was not running for them or refusing, but once I got the info I gave them a call back and spoke to some lady that stated her name was XXXX. She was going into that I owed {$100.00} and plus addition charges and late fees totaling over {$350.00} dollars but before I could even respond, she started threatening me with legal charges saying that I violated a contract committed fraudulent activity and will be paying additional {$1200.00} ( around that number ) for arent fees if it goes to court. And then afterwards she stated I can either negotiate the balance to pay off of be in court I kept stating to the rep or whoever she was that I was willing to pay the {$100.00} she stated she will only accept the {$300.00} continuously asking am I paying it today threatening me if I dont not it will be charges. I became upset for how she was abiding the conversation I hung up the call and she still called random family who I havent spoken to worry them and violating a right of discussing of sharing personal business and threatening legal actions and using unnecessary tactics and abusing you power of rep and most likely just a regular debt collector. My father also just called not to long ago telling me that I have a pending case with XXXX XXXX by the same person I spoke to the first time trying to get in contact with me. We also was receiving private calls with no caller Id which I think is very abnormal. I do hold ace check cashing place responsible For breaking sever consumer rights and marketing rights. I was Harressed, Threatened, blackmailed, misinformed and personal business was shared with another party without my permission.

I am being contacted by letter from XXXX XXXX Tx XXXX XXXX for a loan from Ace that I never applied for. The amount is from what this XXXX guy said was for {$500.00} and something dollars back in XXXX. Stating an address that I have never borrowed money from them living at that address. The accrued Balance is now {$2000.00} with an settlement offer of {$680.00}. The only time I have ever borrowed money from Ace was when I lived in XXXX back in XXXX. I had paid that loan down to {$200.00} and ended up in the hospital with XXXX the day before it was due. I called them from my hospital bed to inform them of my situation. They would not let anyone go down and pay it for me. The day I got out of the hospital I went to go pay it however they would not take my money because it was late by a day or two. I was contacted by Ace with them wanting me to pay an outrageous amount on the loan which I could not afford. That loan was discharged on my credit back in XXXX or XXXX. In XXXX I was contacted by phone by someone who was threatening me with a law suit and I was trying to work out an arrangement with them on the amount of {$200.00}. I paid them {$50.00} over the phone. I then started getting daily calls stating that they needed more money. I told them I did n't have anymore right now to give. I then started getting phone calls telling me that I was going to get a warrant out for my arrest. I knew then it was a scam. Now after 4 years I am being contacted by letter for a loan I never took out. they have all my info. Friends and family info and I have not dealt with Ace since that time in XXXX. With the threat of a law suit. I told them to take me court because I do n't owe them this {$500.00} something loan they say i owe. I do n't need the stress. They said this loan was discharged back in XXXX. I do n't have anything on my credit about that. They ( Ace ) just keeps these loans alive. Upon speaking with this XXXX guy he did n't even try to really get me to pay any of the amount because I mentioned that I have been contacted by scammers before and this was a scam. However he did get me to confirm some information such as people I know. Could have kicked myself for saying yes I know those people.Also looked up the Company name and no address with this company is in XXXX. Address does n't reflect it either. I picked received a loan I did n't apply for because that was the closest thing to fitting my situation.

Dear : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX City : XXXX State : TX, Zip Code : XXXX Social Security Number : XXXX This letter is to notify you that we will precede your matter for Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money would be awarded a judgment from the court for payment of the debt. The court can order your employer to deduct 25-30 % percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf to recover your debt.

Why am I receiving this notice?

The United States, or a State Debt support enforcement agency, certifying its right to garnish your Federal benefits shall attach or include with a garnishment order the following Notice ; Garnish wages owed to a Debtor after Small Claims Court would make an order that you owe money. On XX/XX/XXXX, we received a garnishment order from a court to [ freeze/remove ] funds in your account. The amount of the garnishment order was for {$1400.00}. We are sending you this notice to let you know what we have done in response to the garnishment order. You can contact your creditor for the settlement amount.

What is garnishment?

Garnishment is a legal process that allows a creditor to remove funds from your [ bank ] / [ credit union ] account to satisfy a debt that you have not paid. In other words, if you owe money to a person or company, they can obtain a court order directing your bank to take money out of your account to pay off your debt. If this happens, you can not use that money in your account.

The following applies to you : Before you are arrested : - If you pay in full, or make a part-payment before you are arrested, the warrant will be recalled and amended. However, it will be immediately re-issued if the debt is not paid in full.

When you know a warrant has been issued, you should E-mail us on to discuss your options.

After you are arrested : - Once the warrant has been served, your only options are to serve the time in prison or pay the debt ( plus costs ) in full at the Court house.

IF YOU WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER THAN IMMEDIATELY REPLY US THROUGH EMAIL BETWEEN WORKING HOURS AND RESOLVE THE MATTER.

Sincerely, Sr. Investigation Officer DEBT COLLECTION DEPARTMENT Working Hours : XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX CST ( Mon-Fri ) XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX CST ( Sat ) XXXX UNITED STATES OF FEDERAL MANAGEMENT Copyright XXXX XXXX | Privacy | Terms of use XXXX.ONLINE

ACE Cash Express has repeatedly made threatening and harassing phone calls to me, my family and my former employer claiming that they are suing meet in court if I do n't pay back an alleged debt of " XXXX within 24 hrs of this notice. '' I will be attaching XXXX such email that was sent to me on XXXX XXXX which claims they will be suing in court for " {$6300.00} plus legal fees '' if I do n't comply within XXXX hrs. While I have borrowed from ACE a few times in the distant past ( the last date I remember being in 2012 ), they have always electronically removed my principal and fees from my bank via ACH on the due date automatically. To my knowledge, I do n't owe them any current or past due debt. In the past when I have borrowed from them I have only ever borrowed a maximum of {$300.00}, which is the maximum amount a payday loan company can lend legally in XXXX so it would be legally prohibited for them to lend me an amount that would make my debt the alleged {$540.00} even if I had wanted them to. Furthermore, my understanding of XXXX law is that even in cases of an agreement made " in bad faith, '' the maximum amount that can be sued for in civil court is " treble damages '', which would clearly be substantially less than the " {$6300.00} plus legal fees '' that they are threatening me with. In the past week or so, I have received concerned phone calls from my mother in XXXX, My father XXXX and my supervisor from my former employer XXXX because they each received phone messages from what they were led to believe was a government agency or lawyer threatening legal action and criminal charges against me regarding this alleged debt. In each case the phone message received included a " docket number '', and my parents and former supervisor were genuinely concerned that I was in some sort of serious legal trouble. A " docket number '' and " case number '' are also included in the threatening email from them that I am submitting to you. The email also claims that they are forwarding a copy of their claim to my employer " to make sure they take swift actions '' against me and threatening that " your salary and all your wages ( will be ) confiscated. '' These are clearly illegal collection practices that violate my consumer rights. This is not the first time I have had such threatening emails or phone calls made to me, members of my family, or even my employer, but it is the most recent.

On XX/XX/XXXX between the hours of XXXX, I went to ACE Cash Express located on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ohio to apply for a loan ( hoping to be approved for {$600.00} ). After giving my information and proof of income, the loan agent XXXX informed me that I was pre approved for {$100.00}. I apologized and stated that I needed approximately {$600.00} and that it was okay, I wouldnt be taking the loan out then. She repeated back to me, So you dont want to do it? I confirmed, No, thanks. She then had me sign one more document and told me I was all set. I then left the store. XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from ACE Cash Express stating that my loan was past due and was being transferred to collections. This was a surprise as I had asked the agent who helped me ( XXXX ) to cancel the loan. I called the store the next day and another agent ( XXXX ) answered my call. She notified me that yes, I had indeed took a loan out on XX/XX/XXXX for {$160.00}. That would have been the {$100.00} plus fees. I told her that was impossible because I left the store that day with no money. She further explained that I had been paying my balance down some how because now my total was {$100.00}. I expressed again that I did not leave the store with any money and no money is being taken from my bank account from this establishment. She then stated she would have her GM look into it and call me back. I didnt hear anything back from that. I then called customer service and collections, no one could help because there was no proof I didnt leave the store with money the day I went to apply. So customer service put in a request to have the district manager call me. XXXX called me promptly the next day and stated she would investigate and get back to me the following Wednesday. Wednesday arrives and I give XXXX a call, she stated that she had gotten her boss involved and she was going to the location the next day and will get back to me after her visit that day. I never heard any else and have tried to contact her and the store. I am not happy and do not feel safe with my information at this establishment and find it absurd that no one can figure this out as it is as simple as reviewing the security camera film from that day. I now have a loan in collections that I said I didnt want ( at the amount that was offered ). I feel something inappropriate occurred and now it being covered up.

I, received a call from a company stating I owe them money from XX/XX/XXXX Ace Cash Advance here in XXXX, TN this past summer. I requested proof and they refused to send me proof in the mail. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a voicemail that showed on my caller id as XXXX. Then a voicemail appeared from XXXX stating her name is XXXX XXXX from The XXXX XXXX XXXX 's Office here in town and she says I need to call a XXXX XXXX @ XXXX. I returned the call and he is speaking to me about Ace Check Cashing Company payday loan from years ago. He stated the company has sent me out over XXXX pieces of documentation and they just received the unsigned certified letter back. I replied I have not received any correspondence on this matter. I then told him about I know years ago I had a couple of payday loans, but they were paid off or filed on bankruptcy. He then told me he can see when I filed bankruptcy. He says nothing like that is on the bankruptcy filing. He says there are XXXX warrants being issued for me and if I want to avoid, I can negotiate a settlement and he would remain on the phone until I received official documents proving the debt is settled and closed. He says he is trying to prevent the judge from signing the warrants for my arrest. He stated I can do XXXX3 years jail time because this is a federal crime and I can be responsible for paying {$5600.00} as opposed to the {$1100.00} he will settle out of court with me. I requested an hour to verify. I called our criminal court here in XXXX XXXX and I spoke with an employee in criminal court to ask are any warrants in my name. The employee I called stated NO. He stated the court system does not work like that. He instructed me it is possibly a scam and to report it. I called and was instructed on the different ways to report and to give the most information I could regarding to whom I spoke with. I called back and a female answered who sounded like the lady whom left me a message to call XXXX. She placed XXXX on the telephone and I asked what company was he representing. He stated pre trial and then was very short stating he is trying to help me and he respects me trying to confirm. I asked again and he stated XXXX. He stated he has other calls and he needs to assist others. He states he wishes me luck and the warrants will be signed since I did not pay. He then hung up.

on XX/XX/XXXX I received a message at my job about something regarding a county petition and to call " XXXX XXXX ''. I called to realize this was not the county calling me but someone from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying I owed a debt I did not realize I had. This was the first communication about this matter. I have never received any written notice about this debt. I began to write down the who, what, when, and why so I could make sense of what I was being told. I asked " XXXX XXXX '' for her first name and was immediately placed on hold. After coming back from hold " XXXX XXXX '' came on to the call and the first thing I was asked was if I was recording the call. I said no, and " XXXX XXXX '' proceeded to tell me she was attempting to collect a debt and if I did n't set up payments through her department which she said was the litigation department that she would submit a petition through the county I live in and that I would be served at home or my place of business. I calmly and respectfully informed her I am not trying to negate my debt or anything she was saying but that I had to contact the lender ( ACE CASH EXPRESS ) and verify everything she was saying before I agreed to any payments and that I hoped she understood. She hung up on me. I contacted ACE CASH EXPRESS which informed me my debt was half what XXXX XXXX XXXX stated it was and that my case had been sold to " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and to call. I called given the number provided and I was sent through an automated loop which informed my they are a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and that my account was most likley sold to ANOTHER debt management company for collection which they do not do, going through to eventually a call dying. I tried again and same thing. Obviously there isnt a customer service person. I found them online and it said for fastest contact fill out a form for contact 24/7, with a sentence literally following it saying response within 3 business days. I finally found an online form to find my account was indeed forwarded to " XXXX XXXX ''. who I can call however get hung up on, no answer, no way to contact them other than filling out a form and waiting for a response. All while XXXX XXXX XXXX is likely filling a petition for this debt which I can not confirm they own because they refuse to provide any documentation unless I pay. I pay or get served.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a missed call and a voicemail from phone number XXXX from a " XXXX XXXX '' who stated she was contacting me in regards to a case being filed with XXXX county. She stated that once my case is filed it will become a case of public record and a order of my location has been issued. She stated since she was unable to contact me she will proceed with forwarding my case to the legal department and my legal rights would be forfeited. She also stated that my employer would be contacted and this wasn't to embarrass me but yet to show this was my place of location. She then stated to contact XXXX file number XXXX if I want to contact them in regards to my case before it goes public. When I called XXXX I spoke to two people one named XXXX who said she was an account manager and that I owed a debt for a pay day loan that was taken out in XX/XX/XXXX and the amount was {$540.00} with Ace cash express. I don't recall taking out a loan such as this, secondly she had my full date of birth name, and full social security number. She told me that I had to pay or else I would be taken to court where after lawyer and court fees I would have to pay {$1400.00}. I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving card information over the phone when I have not received any notice about this debt. I asked if they could send me something to show this is what I truly owe and she told me they don't do that because they are a law firm not a debt collection office and its either pay or get summoned. I called ace cash express and was told I did take out a loan in XX/XX/XXXX and that I owed {$240.00} before it went to collections.ACE CASH EXPRESS told me they could not provide who the debt collection agency was as it was sold to a outside collection agency and I would have to wait for them to contact me. I am unsure I even received this loan as im showing I was denied a loan through ace cash express back in XX/XX/XXXX. I called the law firm back and they said thy were called the office of regional proceedings with an address of XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX, when I XXXX the address it shows me its a debt collector not a law firm. I believe I am getting scammed by a debt collector who is A. trying to get me to pay more than what I really owe for something and B. impersonating a law firm to get me to pay which is illegal.

Subject : Unfair and Possibly Illegal Treatment at Check Cashing Establishment Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an incident that occurred at a check cashing establishment, namely ACE Cash Express XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/2023, I, XXXX XXXX, was subjected to what I believe to be unethical, potentially illegal treatment by the staff of this establishment. Initially, I called the store to inquire about their check cashing fees, and I was told that this information could only be disclosed in person, a protocol which I found non-transparent and unreasonably burdensome. Upon my visit to the store, I was made to undergo a lengthy, cumbersome application process. After investing significant time in this process, I was then informed that they could not cash my check due to a box that was checked in the endorsement section. The check in question is a government-issued XXXX refund, endorsed correctly with my signature. The staff erroneously stated that the checked box indicated it was not eligible for cashing. However, according to legal regulations, such a restriction is only applicable if the endorsement also includes for mobile deposit only, which my check did not. When I asked to view the policy in writing that justified their decision, not only was I denied, but I was also subjected to inappropriate and disrespectful language from their staff, behavior which I find entirely unprofessional and uncalled for. I strongly believe that this behavior, coupled with the seemingly dishonest practices I encountered, warrants an immediate investigation by an external body. I understand that the CFPB has the mandate to protect consumers like myself from such unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices, and hence, I seek your intervention in this matter. It is my hope that, with your help, we can ensure that the practices at this check cashing establishment are fair, transparent, and in line with the law, to prevent other consumers from experiencing such ill treatment. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter. I am more than willing to cooperate in any investigation and can provide any additional information needed. You can reach me at ( XXXX ) XXXX. Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I have been a customer of Ace Cash Express for many years and I have never experienced this problem with this company before. I have tried for three days to get someone to correct this problem, but I keep getting the runaround and different responses from different people I talk to. I took out a payday loan in the amount of {$1200.00} which was deposited into my checking account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I refinanced the loan and paid the fee of {$240.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I refinanced the loan again and paid the fee of {$230.00}. However, now when I logged into my account online it says my current fee has now gone up by nearly double the amount and it is {$420.00}. I called three days ago to inquire about why my current fee had now nearly doubled and one lady told me that in the state of Ohio the APR can go as high as 5 % and my APR jumped from 2 % to 3.5 % when I refinanced, however, I do not find this APR information on my refinance documents, and I do not recall seeing this on the refinance loan documents I digitally signed. I have never had this happen to me with Ace so I was n't expecting my fee to nearly double. I called and spoke with " XXXX '' and " XXXX '' and they both told me that " corporate '' was investigating my account to find out why my fee when up so much and someone would be calling me back noon three days ago, or yesterday, but no one has called me back and every time I call, I get a different explanation of what is going on. Additionally, on the company 's website you can clearly see the Ohio Department of Commerce 's rates and fee schedule and for the amount of loan I took out, on this schedule, it shows my fee should be around {$200.00}, not nearly {$500.00}. I am concerned because XXXX XXXX, XXXX is coming soon and Ace is either going to expect me to pay over {$1600.00} to pay this loan off in full or to pay another extension fee but this time instead of around {$200.00}, they are wanting nearly {$500.00}. I do not think this is fair because their fee/rate schedule for the state of Ohio that is listed on their website is not reflective of what they are charging me in their refinance documents. I have never seen a fee like this double being a customer with Ace. I would like this corrected immediately.

Received a phone call that a debt was going to collections. I called and the lady told me I had a debt for a cash loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$500.00}, and if I solve it I would only owe {$600.00}. If I don't solve it I will owe {$2000.00} as they will send it back to the lawyer. If I if I pay by XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. I can pay {$300.00} and solve my debt. I have never taken a loan and I called the places that do loans nobody has my information ever in their system. The main company XXXX XXXX XXXX, they are located in XXXX. she then told me that it was an online vendor And gave me an IP address. The name of her company was XXXX XXXX or a bunch of other names. When asked she said they just do. I called asking for the address and she told me she wasn't able to give that due to business and banking information on files there. She gave me a website which does not look legit. XXXX She claims I can't find the businesses online because they're only at that website and by phone. Her name is XXXX her phone is XXXX XXXX but they don't have an option for an extension and only 2 people ive spoken to when calling 8 times for more information. When explaining to XXXX that I have never taken out a loan they continue to tell me that I was responsible for it and after I paid then I could receive documents regarding my loan and regarding the collection but they could not send me any paperwork until I made the payment to them. Upon looking up everything else to try to find out legitimacy regarding this because I know I have never had a loan taken out I have decided that I will not be making any payment to them and if it goes to my credit I will then reach out to the company and figure it out on how to report fraud in that way. XXXX had my previous name, my new last name, my social security number, my birthday and my previous addresses as well as my current. I am worried because they have this information as to what can happen next. so far they have not proven to me that there was ever a loan taken on my name you're under my social because nobody has any information on me taking a loan ever so I can find. And I know I personally have never taken a loan. I believe the fraud is them having my personal and private information and I am not ok with this!!

ON XX/XX/XXXX A LOAN WAS TAKEN OUT IN THE AMOUNT OF {$1000.00} FRAUDULENTLY. MY IDENTITY HAD BEEN STOLEN AND I WASN'T MADE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL XX/XX/XXXX. I HAD NOTIFIED ACE CASH EXPRESS AND THE LOCAL SHERIFFS DEPT. TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ACE CASH EXPRESS HAD ME FILL OUT AN AFFIDAVIT, HAVE IT NOTARIZED, AND FAXED ALONG WITH THE COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT. NO FOLLOW-UP EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, OR MAIL WAS SENT BY ACE CASH EXPRESS. ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THEIR DEPARTMENT THAT HANDLES FRAUD WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. HERE XX/XX/XXXX OVER 8 YEARS HAVE GONE BY AND I RECEIVE A COLLECTIONS NOTICE. WITHIN THOSE 8 YEARS NOT ONE BILL TOWARDS THIS LOAN HAD BEEN MAILED TO MY RESIDENCE, NOT ONE EMAIL OR PHONE CALL. ACE CASH EXPRESS HAD ALL OF MY CONTACT INFORMATION AND FAILED TO 1. INFORM ME OF THE PROGRESS OF ANY ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE FRAUDULENT LOAN 2. OFFER A SETTLEMENT RESOLUTION TO AVOID COLLECTIONS. IT IS NOW 8 YEARS LATER THAT I RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM A COLLECTION AGENCY TO COLLECT ON THE DEBT. ACE CASH EXPRESS HAS FAILED IN THEIR RESPONSE TO HELP RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. THEIR VETTING OF ONLINE LOAN APPROVAL IS INSECURE AND ALLOWS FOR CRIMINALS TO EXPLOIT THE MEANS TO OBTAIN FUNDS UNDER FALSE PRETENTIOUS BEHAVIOR. ACE CASH EXPRESS HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION LINKED TO THIS ACCOUNT. EMAIL, PHONE NUMBER, BANK ACCOUNT AND ROUTING NUMBER OF WHERE THE FUNDS MAY HAVE BEEN CASHED, COPIES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION GIVEN WITH THE LOAN APPLICATION SO THAT I CAN PRESENT THIS INFORMATION IN MY DEFENSE IF NEEDED. ( AFTER ALL, THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY MY ACCOUNT IS IT NOT? ) I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION BY HAVING ACE CASH RESCIND ANY AND ALL FEES ATTACHED TO THIS LOAN. THEREFORE PAYING RESTITUTION THE COLLECTION AGENCY IN WHICH ACE CASH EXPRESS HAD SOLD THE LOAN TO. I'VE DONE MY PART IN PROVIDING ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE FRAUD IN XX/XX/XXXX. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED ACE CASH EXPRESS ON XX/XX/XXXX TO FURTHER INQUIRE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD. NOTHING WAS DONE. THE ASKED ME TO RESEND THE DOCUMENTS AGAIN AND THAT WAS ALSO DONE ON XX/XX/XXXX ACE CASH EXPRESS HAS FAILED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO RESOLVE THIS. IT HAS BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE THE IDENTITY THEFT AND REPORTING IT TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ACE CASH EXPRESS. THANK YOU

on XX/XX/19, I received a call from a local number stating he was a County Court Clerk server and that I was going to be served. He said it was from XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of Ace Cash Express case # XXXX and that I could call them regarding the matter. I called XXXX and spoke to XXXX in the legal dept. He said that I had 2 hours to make a payment of XXXX or I would be served.Said I was mailed information, which I did not receive. I told him I did not get anything. I asked for an extension he said 3 hours. In a panic, I called my family members for help.Called back and spoke to XXXX and asked if I could pay XXXX and make arrangements for the rest. he checked with attny and they agreed. My boyfriend called made pmnt of XXXX conf # XXXX. And XXXX paid by credit crd from My mom. Conf # XXXX. XXXX made me give my bank card # to pay two addl pmnts of XXXX over 2 mos. I called back today and asked for an email confirmation, and asked the names of the attny and license # 's. I know this is not a legal tactic to obtain payment. He was very convincing and I got scared into providing payment and giving him my bank card info. He said I should have received an email and that I will get one today. I called him again to get more information and I kept getting passed around and placed on hold. He said that this was in fact in the legal department but still refuses to give me attorney names. At this point, they have not only my bank card information for future payments, but my boyfriend 's and my Mother 's credit card information. I called the original debtor Ace Cash Express and the representative confirmed the sale of the loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX and gave me their address. She said that they would not ask XXXX to file a lawsuit on their behalf and that I should contact XXXX to discuss. I believe that they are using unfair practices to collect debts, using threat of lawsuit. The first phone call I received was from XXXX, which is the XXXX County Court phone number. I now know that the court will not call you to tell you that you are going to be served, so clearly XXXX somehow was able to use the court phone number to make this appear to be legitimate. I ask that this company be looked into for using this type of tactic to collect debts.

They start to call about every six months or so, and when I ask for details about their location, they refuse to give it to me. I have not received documentation regarding the debt and they continue to tell me that they are sending it and that I'm not responding. When I ask for their address so that I can send them a cease and desist letter, they refuse and tell me that they are not collections. They tell me they are with " In House Processing '', but say that they are not the original debt holder. They have my SSN, DOB and address, and it makes me very uncomfortable that they have this, but yet I do not know who they are or where they are located. This morning was the most recent contact ( XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX MT ). When I called them back, they verified who I was, and indicated that they could settle a debt with them from ACE Cash Express. When I asked them for documentation of the debt, they asked to verify my address, the address that they have for me is incorrect. When I asked for their name and business address, they stated that I was harassing them and hung-up on me. I called back to try and get more information and they stated the debt was from XXXX, that it was for {$1800.00}, and that they could settle for 33 %. They indicated that I was going to be served with court documents for a civil proceeding in XXXX County Court. When I asked them for their attorney 's name they were suing me with, they refused and hung-up again. The third time I called them back, they immediately stated that I was harassing them and that they would count me " served ''. The fact that people in an unknown state, business, etc. have my personal information ( SSN / DOB / Employer ), but they will not tell me who they are, where they are is very concerning. The fact that they have repeatedly stopped calling me for months at a time and then pick back up later leads me to believe that they are hoping one day I will have a lapse in judgment out of fear and give them a credit card for payment on a debt that I'm not aware of! Also, my husband and I filed for bankruptcy in Colorado approximately 5yrs ago and included any an all debt. If I did owe this company money and was aware of an outstanding debt, then I would have included them.

On Thursday, XX/XX/2018, I received a call from my adult daughter saying she had received a call from someone who was executing an " Order for Location '' and trying to locate me. She said the person also contacted her daughter who is XXXX years old and scared her. I checked my voice mail and found that whoever it was had left a voice mail for me. I listened and learned the following : The person calling was XXXX XXXX and that she was executing an " Order for Location '' and trying to locate me in regard to case XXXX, a case filed in XXXX County ( Texas ). She said the order gave her authority to contact my employer and references. She said she would continue to do so until told to do otherwise and that this was a 'Legal Notification by phone '. I checked with my sister who said she had been contacted and my wife who checked her email and found the same message. I called the number provided XXXX and was given the same information. She claimed to be trying to locate me, but would not stop calling until directed to do so by whomever hired her. She would not tell me the name of her company or the name of company that hired her. She did provide me a number to a different company. I called the number and could not find out the name of her company but after some arguing, I learned that they were working to recover an unpaid loan from two years ago by Ace Cash Express. I remember the loan, but not if it was paid completely. She would not provide me with specific contact information on how to contact the company. It is strange they have my phone number but and address, but could not find me. They also confirmed they had my address. I contacted the XXXX County courts and was told they could find no record of suit filed but that did not do any service processing so could not help me. They were not particularly interested in helping me, saying they had no idea where to go for help.There are no suits filed against me, so they could not help me. I worked in the credit field for nearly 30 years and have never heard of such a court ordered process. After consideration, I determined that my next course of should be to contact your agency. Your help is greatly appreciated.

On XX/XX/2020 I received three anonymous phone calls on my work number, as well as three additional calls on my cell phone. I received information by a non-relative who provided me with the same information as they have contacted at the very least 3 other people. The caller states there name is XXXX XXXX with " XXXX '' and will be serving me with my certified documents between the hours of XXXX and XXXX at either work or home and I need to contact them regarding this debt right away at XXXX. THis information was provided to other individuals who have had no relation to me, nor have been placed on any reference list. When I contacted the number " XXXX '' responded by letting me know that I owed {$4400.00} from a debt with Ace Cash Express and if I would be served with certified documents. I inquired as to why they were contacting individuals with no relation to me and she responded " You have them as a reference '', I asked for her contact information including address, company name and was only given " XXXX ''. I asked for a valid address and she refused repeatedly. She informed me she was not required to provide me with any information because I owed a debt. I asked to speak to her supervisor. After several attempts the supervisor stated that at first I had the individuals down as a reference. I asked why they called thousands of times ( in general I did not count ), and he stated " no we called 12 times as well as others to try to contact you ''. I asked how he was able to receive information for individuals I have never had as a reference and he stated that he was able to get the information based on my social security number and contacted everyone who has had a connection with me. I asked him for their address and he refused and stated " I don't need to give you anything if you are not telling me what is harassing about our calls ''. I informed him that they were in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and am requesting their information. He responded by saying he wasn't required to give anything if I didn't tell him why I thought they were harassing. I have called back repeatedly but I seem to be blocked from their number.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, I received a voicemail from XXXX XXXX threatening to contact my job and speak with my supervisor regarding a case that was being filed through XXXX XXXX County courts. She also stated if I did not contact the company I would forfeit my legal rights. XXXX never identified herself as a debt collector or that it was an attempt to collect a debt. Instead she threatened to locate me if I did not get in touch with the legal department. I called the number that XXXX had left on my voicemail and spoke with an individual who again did not notify me that this was an attempt to collect a debt by a debt collector. The name of the company was never given to me and the individual I spoke with informed me if I didnt set up payment arrangements they would sue me for thousands of dollars for a {$270.00} debt. Out of fear I set up the arrangements immediately and was told that I would have to provide a debit or credit card to stop additional actions from being taken. I was told to contact the company in advance if anything needed to be changed for the XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX arrangements. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I contacted the company to have the arrangement for XX/XX/XXXX split into 2 payments ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). I was told that the company could only change the payment to XX/XX/XXXX. After informing the individual that I would not have enough money to cover the full payment on XX/XX/XXXX she informed me that the company would not change it beyond XX/XX/XXXX and does not cancel payment arrangements and that if I default on the arrangements I would be taken to court. I again asked to have the arrangements changed to XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, I was told that only legal counsel could approve that change. I requested to speak with legal counsel and immediately the call was disconnected. I called back three times and each time the call was disconnected. I called back a fourth time and someone answered, I again explained to her what I needed to do and was told again that they do not cancel arrangements after they are made. I asked to speak with a supervisor and the call was again disconnected.

On todays day of XX/XX/XXXX, at approximately XXXX CST XXXX a man named XXXX XXXX called my niece in Pennsylvania and advised her that he was calling about my XXXX XXXX XXXX and I had until noon EST today or I would have my rights forfeited. First of all, I have no idea how this man located any information about my family. He discussed my personal information with my niece under false pretenses. My car account is in good standing with my car loan company. The name of his company is XXXX, XXXX XXXX. The number he gave was XXXX Ext XXXX. I called him at approximately XXXX CST and he wanted my birthday and I refused. I told him he had no right to call my niece about my car. He said he was recording the phone call and I advised him that I was recording as well. He hung up on me. At approximately XXXX CST, I called back. He answered the call and I asked for a manager. He put XXXX XXXX on the phone. She repeatedly argued, lied and refused to give clear information about this supposedly payday loan in my name from Ace Cash Express. She said I could pay her company or it would stay on my credit report. I asked her what credit report and she couldnt say. We argued about calling my niece, violating my rights and for threatening unlawful actions. I told her to cease and desist immediately. She said I would have to write a letter. She also said that I would have to find out about this balance of {$1500.00} that I owe. I asked her how did she get my name, etc. and she said from a third party. I asked her if her company was a debt collection company and she said no. She said my employer was XXXX XXXX. Thats a lie. I havent worked from XXXX due to a XXXX. I asked her for the physical address of her company and she gave me an address in XXXX XXXX, FL. I told her that her company violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and I was going to report them. I told her that I was recording the call. She hung up on me. Her company has violated my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA. I want them out of business for unlawful practices. They lie and harass the consumers. If there are any consequences for their actions, please pursue it to the fullest extent of the law.

Attached below is a letter I received from a debt collector. Please see where it says Note 2. They have threatened to seize my bank account and I know for a fact that is illegal in Texas. I consider this a direct violation of the Texas Fair Debt Collections Act. Please see the excerpt from that Act : Harassment and Fraud are Prohibited State law prohibits the use of harassment and abusive collection tactics. It is illegal for any debt collector to : threaten XXXX or other criminal acts ; use profane or obscene language ; falsely accuse the consumer of fraud or other crimes ; threaten arrest of the consumer, or repossession or other seizure of property without proper court proceedings ; use the telephone to harass debtors by calling anonymously or making repeated or continuous calls ; make collect telephone calls without disclosing the true name of the caller before the charges are accepted. The use of fraudulent or deceptive practices is also prohibited, including : using a false name or identification ; misrepresenting the amount of the debt or its judicial status ; sending documents to a debtor that falsely appear to be from a court or other official agency ; failing to identify who holds the debt ; misrepresenting the nature of the services rendered by the collection agency or the collector ; falsely representing that the collector has information or something of value in order to discover information about the consumer. Your home and wages : Some collectors will threaten to take your home or wages to pay for a debt. In Texas, if your residence has been declared a homestead, it can not be taken to pay a debt except for debts taken for the purchase of the home ( ie, a mortgage in default ), for home improvements, for home equity loans or to pay certain taxes. Wages may be garnished only to pay debts related to court-ordered child support, back taxes, and defaulted student loans. Debt collectors can not garnish wages for repayment of consumer debt. You can read about declaring your home as your homestead, for which you will receive certain tax exemptions as well as protection against debt collectors here : XXXX ( tax exemption FAQs ).

I was contacted by a person claiming to be an official with my local XXXX. The phone number he called from was a local number, so I believed he was who he said he was. He asked if I had been served a summons to appear in court. I told him I had n't. He stated that there was a case against me for defaulting on a loan from ace XXXX express. He stated that he was going to put a hold on my case for 30 minutes in order to give me time to contact the party that had filed the case. He stated that if I did not comply within 30 minutes my drivers license would be suspended. I called the number he gave me and they stated that they were with the XXXX and XXXX law firm and that I had defaulted onot a loan with ace cash express. They stated that they needed to collect a sum of {$760.00} today. I informed them that I could not pay that amount. They agreed to spread the amount over XXXX payments with the first payment to be collected on XXXX XXXX 2016. I was hesitant to give my bank information until they stated that if I did not set up this arrangement then and there, I would be sued for the attempt to commit fraud and my license would be suspended. After they collected XXXX on the XXXX, I called a day before the next scheduled payment asking for an extension. I was denied and told that if I did not pay, my case would be forwarded to the legal department to start the litigation process against me for attempting to commit fraud. I agreed to pay {$95.00} on XXXX XXXX. I then began researching their process and came to the understanding that they did not have the right to threaten me or misrepresent themselves. I dug further and found out that the person that originally called me claiming to be an official for my local XXXX did not exist. I attempted to contact XXXX and XXXX to ask questions and was told that they were not going to deal with me anymore and my case would in fact be forwarded to their legal department. They 've refused to speak with me on the matter since. They never provided me with any documentation of this debt to ace cash express and I feel they have violated my personal rights and the rights under the law that governs their practice.

Spoke with XXXX XXXX with Ace cash express in regards to a loan obtaining a personal loan in the amount of XXXX. I was prompted to verify my XXXX account by Ace cash XXXX in order to receive the loan on XX/XX/XXXX Ace cash advance deposed {$690.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The deposit came from XXXX XXXX, into my XXXX account. I was then asked to purchase two visa gift cards. One in the amount of {$390.00} at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and the second at XXXX in the amount of {$690.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told to take pictures and email the gift card information to XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I was told this was part of the verification process. After doing so. I was told I would receive my loan by that evening of XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX stating that I would have to verify my XXXX account one more time because they did not typically deposit loans through XXXX. This time he stated he would deposit an amount between XXXX to XXXX and I would again need to purchase another vanilla visa cash card. I refused to buy any further gift cards and and asked what me buying gift cards had to do with verifying my account, after already doing so once. I then felt there was something wrong with the situation after multiple personal text messages and phone calls from XXXX XXXX from the phone number XXXX. Asking me to proceed and being very pushy. I had not heard from or spoken to XXXX XXXX again with ace cash advance until I called demanding my funds back on XX/XX/XXXX. I was notified that {$240.00} was deducted from my XXXX account, also connected to my bank account. In the amount of {$240.00} the transaction stated it was a fraud claim. ID XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX. The {$240.00} was every penny in my account On XX/XX/XXXX. Im sure more would have been have been taken if there more in the account. I then contacted my bank in regards. Shutting down my cards and account. I called the XXXX Fl sheriffs office to file a report through officer XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and was directed to file a claim through www.ftc.gov/complaint in regards, due to the report happening out side of XXXX XXXX. The office of ace cash express is out of XXXX.

This morning I received a call from an unknown number and the lady would not provide her name, but stated she was calling from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. She asked if I had received any documentation in reference to my case, I told her no in which she provided me a case number and a XXXX number to call for further details to my case because she was only able to call a verify my location. I tried asking her name again in which she quickly stated that she is only supposed to call a verify location and told me good luck and hung up the phone. I called the XXXX number given and spoke with a lady by the name of XXXX XXXX and she was calling in reference to a breach of contract between myself and Ace Cash Express, for a loan I received in XX/XX/2017 in the amount of {$500.00}. She asked if I had an attorney I stated no and I began to tell her that I did not have any loan with Ace, XXXX became very rude stating that I received the loan and when payment became due my acct was closed which resulted in breach of contract due to Ace attempting to contact me several times. I told her I had received no letters and/or phone calls. She called out an email address to me that I had never heard of and an employer by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told that was not my info for email or employer because I've been employed with XXXX for 4 years. I began to explain to her that the date mentioned above my wallet had been stolen so there was no way I created that loan and also my credit score is in the 300 's and I would never be approved for such a high amount. XXXX, once again speaking rudely, stated that she was going to document the account with my statement, but the phone was not for me to file a dispute and that once I receive my court documents I could come dispute this in court. I tried several times on the call to get some information from acct she was reading and she told me that she could not provide me the info. I'm sure that is incorrect because if you're calling in ref to any legal matters or unpaid debts, I have a right to know what's going, especially since I am unaware of this loan and know for a fact my wallet was stolen in XX/XX/2017.

On XX/XX/2018 at approximately XXXX XXXX I was contacted by a representative at the number XXXX. I was never told the name of the company but was promptly informed that I owed a debt for a pay day loan. I was told 'the comapny Ace Cash was looking to pursue 2 separate charges. One for fraud and one for checks fraud '. I was skeptical because of the many phone scams that are currently going around and I had not yet been given the name of the company that was actually calling to collect said debt ( {$470.00} ). I eventually talked with a woman who claimed she was XXXX XXXX. I explained that I in no way tried to defraud anything at the time of the payday loan ( 1.5 years ago ) but that I currently could not make a payment within the 20 minute time frame she was giving me before I would be 'served by a process server '. I would need some time as currently all my money pays for my living expenses and child care. And that if my only option was to pay in 20 minutes or be served then I guess I would tell the same thing to the judge. XXXX XXXX then thought it was appropriate to tell me that, and I quote : 'Better have a really good car because I'll never be able to get a loan again ' as well as insinuate that I am an irresponsible XXXX year old ( like I don't know I have made mistakes ). She was incredibly unprofessional. I was absolutely shocked that this woman would be allowed to berate and harass customers on a daily bases. XXXX XXXX then hung up on me after I asked for her name and then supervisor. I promptly called back and made a complaint with this company. I will admit I talked with 3 other people at the company that were much nicer and were able to act in a professional manner. I also paid my account in full less than 1 week later and only then was I finally informed that the company is XXXX XXXX. I am still not 100 % convinced it isnt a scam as the XXXX-number I was given does not pull up any XXXX XXXX company when ran. My complaints are with the company not clearly identifying themselves with an actual company name and with their unprofessional and rude employee XXXX XXXX who insulted and berated me over the phone.

I had applied online to ace express for a loan back in XXXX or XXXX of XXXX I received the money but decided that I didnt need it. I called then to let them know that I no longer need it once I did that they gave me a website to send an email saying that I no longer need the loan. Tried to send the money back and there system was not working on getting it back they kept saying that my bank was not allowing the transfer. I called my bank and my bank said that they were the ones that was not letting the transfer go through. I took the money out to try to add to a different XXXX card to send it back but it was doing the same. They told me to open a new bank account and give them access to it so they can take the money out. I said I wasnt going to do that, they already have my bank card info, that they shouldnt have any issues getting the money back. I tried and tried and they were saying that I am the one that didnt want to pay it back when I kept in contact with them and tried to send the money back. Well I Lost my job in the process of trying to get them to take the money and they kept calling and I kept telling them that I no longer have a job and can not pay at the moment. They kept calling and kept adding more interest into the account and I am still with no work. I kept telling them that I can not pay. Once I have a job then I can maybe pay little by little and they said that I had to pay the full amount at once. Months past and never heard from them. I finally received a call from a law firm called XXXX XXXX XXXX saying that I have till XX/XX/XXXX to call them regarding a complaint about me. So I called and a guy answered I gave him my name and he looked me up. I asked what it was about and why I am being sued for {$1500.00}. He said it was from ACE Express and that I will receive a court date on Monday or something this coming week on when I have to appear. I said I dont understand and he simply hung up on me without saying anything else. I am so confused why do I need to go to court when I tried to pay them and they never took it and never got call, mail or email from them and now they are calling saying that.

On XX/XX/2018 I received a phone call from a man who said he was calling from an attorneys office and during the phone call said that they could possibly garnish my wages and that I needed to set up a payment arrangement of 3 bi weekly payments of {$100.00} in order to avoid them garnishing my wages ( prior to this phone call I had never heard of this company or been notified via mail or phone that my file had been transferred to a collection agency ) .I asked my girlfriend to call him for me because she works in the XXXX XXXX and understands the process more than I do. She was able to talk to him regarding my debt without me having to give authorization he asked her if the last 4 of my social was -- -- and asked her for my birth date and that is the extent of his verification, he after all of this told her that the call is recorded. She offered to have me get on the line and give authorization before he tried to verify my information with her, but he did not require her to do so. He told her first that their office doesn't make outbound calls after calling me not even 30 min before that. He also told her I owe {$310.00} and that I can make payment arrangements but that they have not attempted to take legal action yet. He claimed that he did not say they would garnish my wages but that if they decide to further legal action they could possibly do that after she told him she works with the legal department of a collection agency. He said his name is XXXX XXXX and the phone number she reached him at is XXXX he said his ext is XXXX. She attempted to call back about 5 min later to get the name of the company but no one answered the phone and the voicemail stated there name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. and that their office was closed. I feel extremely violated. Not only have they been consistently calling me and harassing me I felt he was trying to intimated me or threatening me. I want him to be aware that the way he went about this call was not OK and from what i saw online a lot of people complain about this company threatening them and harassing them and believe they need to be held accountable for their actions.

On XXXX XXXX I was contacted as well as my relatives about an open proceedings case in the county of their address. The proceeding were going to be filed against me for account # XXXX and I had to pay my debt for Ace cash express for the amount of XXXX for a past due pay day loan. If I didnt do this the lawyers of this firm would follow through with the proceedings with Ace cash express and this was also being recorded as an attempted collection and notification of this process, and this was all recorded for their case against me. I was contacted by XXXX XXXX by the company XXXX on behalf to notify me of these legal actions being taken against me on behalf of Ace Cash Express. She stated the date of the loan taken out the and the amount of the original loan of {$500.00}. I attempted to make payments and she requested proof of income to provide. I explained I was unemployed due to the Covid-19 pandemic so they denied this request. To confirm this collection, I attempted to call Ace cash express On XX/XX/2020 directly to clarify this confusion they transferred me to their debt collections and confirmed they had sold it third party via DNP. I called the number back of the XXXX debt collectors whom notified me previously they had acquired the debt as well and settled for {$800.00} via my aquatintences credit. My friend and I and settled this debt together on a recorded line where he asked multiple questions, just as I did, and was told the same things. We requested and on a recorded line via phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX extension XXXX, a notified letter of proof of close of debt collection and closure of said proceedings as well as be emailed to both parties of confirmation. She confirmed that would be sent out and a email would be sent out following the ending of the call to both parties involved. She also confirmed my email address, she confirmed my address, and confirmed everything on file left with Ace cash express agency. I have not received any notification of closure, or payment in full, I have not been contacted by Ace cash express or the company acting on behalf of them since.

On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from my ex wife stating she had recurved a call from a legal representative stating that a Court case has been filed against me. My mother also received the call. They were told to pass along a callback number to me to discuss the court case. I called the number back and I was informed thats I owed a {$500.00} debt from a pay day load. I told them what I could pay on it but the woman insisted that the case has already been filed and its not about the money at this point she also stated that After court is settled I will end up owing over {$1500.00} dollars ( do not remember the exact amount ). ( Deceiving amout owed ). She went further by saying I have committed fraud and will be charged accordingly in the court case ( threatening criminal action ) She then put me on hold and said they would be willing to put the court case on hold if I would agree to their payment plan. I agreed. I also asked them to not contact anyone of my friends, relatives, or job since they now have my updated contact info. Turns out they had my correct contact info Well before this matter. When I asked them why they contacted my ex wife they told me it wasnt them that contacted her. It was actually XXXX county courts trying to locate me ( impersonation of a government official ) The following week one of my payments didnt go through because my check had not yet been deposited for the day. They called my ex wife again. When she tired to file a dispute with them allegedly hung up on her. When I called them back I told them that I will not deal with their harassing calls. I also Informed them that I am in the middle of filing bankruptcy. The representative told me my babkruptcy will not cover a previous debt ( deception ). They also said they will notify the courts to move forward with the case. To say the least they have used threats of fraud, impersonated a government official, lied, and harassed my family after I specifically asked them not to. I would like to settle this matter but not with a company who uses deceiving, unlawful, and unethical business practices.

When I talked to this woman calling me and my family, she stated, this a payday loan debt from XX/XX/2014 through Ace Cash Express. Some woman name XXXX XXXX @ XXXX is calling my sister at XXXX and my aunt at XXXX calling from XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please tell this company to stop harassing me and my family. Their number is XXXX. Ace Cash Express has been paid for this loan several times over as we know the interest and fees they charge are ridiculous. That's why after paying this company so much money, I don't even do payday loans. Its a scam that I feel the government should step in and regulate. In the time I had this loan I paid them at least over 12k which is well over the original amount I owed which was no more than about maybe {$850.00} as I didn't make much money back then. I was a struggling single mom. This company is a criminal/loan shark preying on low income families to scam them out of more money then they have. And she accused me of " Debt By Deception ''. This would only be true, if I got the loan, then closed my account and then ran off without paying anything. I can see if they were never paid for the original loan, but after paying them over and over again at some point there should be a cap where they realize that they have received enough money in interest to close the loan. Have some integrity for the consumer instead of being greedy and then maybe this industry would have a better reputation. Have some morals to the consumers you serve, low income families who can't get a fair regular loan. But they are criminals/loan sharks and harassing people and their families with calls to create anxiety. Ace Cash Express should be the people in jail for their tactics instead preying on consumers with high fees and interest rates which they know is a trap and will never be able to pay. You want XXXX for a {$850.00} loan. That's crazy. I've paid this loan over 12x. Acknowledge that you have paid for the loan several times over and leave me and my family alone. Stop threatening me with wage garnishments, legal actions and XXXX County arrest.

On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a personal check to a contractor named XXXX XXXX for {$6500.00}. He did not show up, work, or deliver materials, so I fired him and put a stop payment on the check. Obviously, when I put in the stop payment order with my bank the check had not cleared. Somehow the contractor XXXX XXXX was able to cash the check at Ace Cash Express anyway. My bank, XXXX, refused to pay the check when Ace submitted it, so Ace began to repeatedly call me, 10-20 times a day, and left hostile and threatening messages. All of the messages were left by an Ace employee named XXXX XXXX. At first, I ignored them thinking that it was perfectly legal and reasonable for me to stop payment for services I didn't receive, but she continued to call me constantly. Finally I spoke to her and she told me that I owed Ace {$6500.00} for the check they had cashed. When I tried to explain that I had put a stop payment on the check and ask why they had cashed it in the first place, she began screaming " DID YOU WRITE THAT CHECK??! YES OR NO! DID YOU??? '' while I was trying to talk to her. I hung up the phone and blocked her number. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a demand letter from Ace via XXXX XXXX saying that I had an outstanding balance of {$6500.00}, that they would take additional measures to collect and that this was an attempt to collect a debt, etc. How can they collect a debt from me? I didn't borrow money from them, cash a check with them or contact them in any way. Also, are they allowed to threaten me with legal action? XXXX XXXX claims they are trying to collect the money from him as well. Isn't it illegal for Ace to collect twice on this? ( From both me and XXXX XXXX the contractor ). Shouldn't they just be trying to collect from XXXX XXXX, the guy who cashed the check after I fired him and told him not to? Now I'm faced with filing complaints, writing letters, having my credit ruined, possibly paying an attorney, etc. Please help me and stop this awful company, Ace Cash Express, from doing this to other people. Thank you.

On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX XXXX I attempted to withdraw {$250.00}. None of my usual tellers were available and I was beckoned to go to a teller sitting at the far right. I did my transaction and left the Ace check cashing store with the money still in hand, after which, I handed the money to my father and as he counted it he said there was {$40.00} missing. I counted the money, now for the first time, and found he was correct. I went back inside Ace and informed the teller that I was missing {$40.00} from my withdrawal. The teller told me that she counted her draw and it was only XXXX cents over. I went back outside without the missing money and my father took the money and went into the store. The workers there told him they counted the draw. My father asked a few times was there nothing that could be done because he watched me leave the store and directly was handed the money received. Finally, they said they called the supervisor who reportedly said there was nothing they could do. When my father got home he called the main telephone number for Ace and was told that the district manager would look into the problem and if not, a vice president would handle the situation. Many calls later no one has called my father and I will list some of the reference numbers given when Ace was called. The fact that the teller who handled the transaction said she counted the money out twice can only mean she stole the money and the lack of response from Ace makes me feel there is a conspiracy to commit fraud along with the theft. I have never had a problem with this transaction in the past. I even had a customer in the parking lot who, when hearing my disgust with the situation, tells me that he won't go to that teller even if he has to wait. Some reference numbers for calls : XX/XX/XXXX-XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX-XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX-XXXX. Ace Cash Express, # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ace customer Service XXXX XXXX. Cash disbursed to me was {$210.00}. I only wonder how many times this has happened to others.

Contacted by Ms. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX she said that a notice was sent to me I never received a notice, at that time i had a debit of {$30.00} debited from my checking account and ask that the remaining balance be debited the same way, however, there was not enough to cover the draft since this is how I pay all my bills. Around XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from a Ms. XXXX XXXX stating that I owe a balance that has not been paid. Contact Ms. XXXX on or about XX/XX/XXXX stating that I missed the deadline for getting back to her to correct this issue it by XXXX that morning for she said that is the only way to stop the information from going to the county and if I did not it would cost me {$1600.00} for court fees, plus amount owed, filing fees ect. I was going to send the money to her XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX.

There after I started receiving phone call from family members and people in the community saying that the FBI was looking for me concerning a Bad Check this was happening all over town and I was felt violated because I had spoken to her and let her know the reason why i could send the money at that point. Spoke to the XXXX XXXX XXXX several times they can verify about trying to obtain a nother number to locate this collection company but they said this is all they had.

I have been getting phone calls from an agency. The calls always come in from " unknown '' " anonymous '' or " blocked '' telephone numbers. The first call I got was from someone stating he was am " enforcement officer ''. He told me he had been " looking for me ''. He said since I had made his job difficult he was going to make my life difficult. He then provided me with a telephone number to call as well as a case number stating there was a legal case being filed against me. The phone number is : XXXX. Not 2 minutes after I hung up with him I got a voicemail message on my phone from a female leaving the same number so I called it back. They say they are " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' I called the number and spoke to a lady who told me fraud charges were being filed against me for a payday loan I defaulted on from 3 years ago. She said her agency had purchased the debt and I owed them {$2000.00} to stop them from taking me to court. I told her I did n't have the money. She then listed names of friends and relatives stating she was going to contact them as well as my employer and tell them just what kind of person I was. I asked why they called from unavailable numbers and were threatening me. She said they do n't make the calls that they hire outside agencies to handle that and they only take incoming calls and that they can do anything they want they have a XXXX % success rate and hung up on me. Several hours later I received a call from my sister who resides on the other side of the country in Missouri. Her mother in law got a call from someone looking for ME. I have never even met my sister 's mother-in-law. She is elderly. Whatever they said really upset her and it was embarassing to me. I 'm not sure what to do. It just does n't seem right. On a side note, my address and phone number have not changed since I took out the loan years ago. I have lived at the same address for 7 years. They obviously know how to reach me, they are choosing to harass me to try to intimidate me or something. It 's kind of scary.

Went into an Ace Cash Express # XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA on Sunday XX/XX/XXXX Sunday and gave them {$620.00} to make a rent payment. The money was to be transmitted to an account number provided by a detailed invoice that had account number and biller name. Provided all the information and when the receipt was printed it didn't have any of the information that the receipts normally have in the same area. The store was about to close in 40 minutes. So if the receipt is missing vital information, that raises a red alarm. So when asked for a refund as soon as the receipt was given, the csr lady said it would not be a problem. The problem was that her manager had to approve the refund. Well she called the manager Named XXXX XXXX and when she explained the situation over the phone, XXXX XXXX told her to tell the customers to come back tomorrow and hung up. The refund was not guaranted either, it's just come back tomorrow. So after giving someone {$620.00} we are not going to walk away with any kind reassurance. We asked for a refund and the money has not been wired yet. How am I going to trust the same business that just acted like that. So the lady kept on calling and calling for ace corporate or any others manager. XXXX would not answer his phone or anything. So finally she got a hold of a lady manager and that lady finally responded and talked with me. I had her call me and she took my number, we left the store 20 minutes after closing. Then to make things worse there are people XXXX XXXX outside the store. Overall this situation was mishandled and should have been resolved really easy. Instead it was mishandled in the most irresponsible and lazy way possible by XXXX XXXX. It wasted everyone 's time money and the stress was so high the other customers couldn't even get proper service. I am still waiting for my XXXX call from the manager or a refund. There is no moral to this story, it's just someone being irresponsible and lazy. I've attached a photo of someone XXXX XXXX

I currently have XXXX {$300.00} payday loans from XXXX different storefronts in my neighborhood : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, ACE Cash Express and XXXX XXXX. I also borrowed an installment loan in the amount of {$2600.00} from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I am drowning in debt and I ca n't handle it anymore. I need some relief. This is very stressful and expensive. I first started using payday loans about XXXX or 7 years ago. My current situation of using multiple payday loans every two weeks started XX/XX/XXXX. My roommate moved out and I had to figure out how to cover all of my housing expenses on my own. At this point, I 've been churning XXXX payday loans every two weeks for over two years, and I 've paid an estimated {$10000.00} in fees, at least. To make matters worse, I 've been paying {$140.00} every two weeks on a XXXX XXXX installment loan, and I 've already paid {$2200.00} between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. But my total balance as of XXXX XXXX is still {$2600.00}! How is this even possible? On top of my outstanding payday and installment loans, I have a car note from my credit union that I pay {$320.00} a month on, plus {$180.00} in insurance. Plus, my rent is {$1100.00} every month. After taxes, I only bring home about {$1800.00} a month. So this is really hurting me and I 've reached my breaking point. I 'm really struggling to figure out a way to get out of all this expensive, cyclical debt. I do n't want to default on the loans, but at this point I 'm not seeing another alternative. I recently received XXXX utility disconnection notices from my gas, water and light companies. To make matters worse, I 'm also facing being laid off from work in the next few months. I need help. I do not have the ability to repay all these loans. I recently found out that it 's against the law for lenders to extend multiple loans to a borrower with an outstanding loan. So legally I should n't have even been able to get XXXX payday loans plus an installment loan at once. Can the CFPB help me in any way?

Received a call for the first time on XX/XX/17 from XXXX. The collector left a voice-mail. I returned the phone call immediately and paid {$150.00} over the phone. I have asked many times for written documentation and they have provided the attached on company letterhead via email. Each time I have spoken to the collector " XXXX '' the amount changes and she has told me the amount on the letter is incorrect due to a glitch in their system. Today, she stated that they did not send the attached emails to me because she could not find them. At no time did the collection agency send a written notice clearly stating my right to dispute. I am filing this complaint as the company uses : Deceptive practices to collect. Misrepresentation of the amount owed. 809. Validation of debts ( a ) Notice of debt ; contents Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing -- ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumer 's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

I went into Ace Cash Express on XXXX XXXX in XXXX on Saturday to obtain a payday loan, as I sometimes do when my child support is late. The rep there, XXXX, asked me how much I wanted to borrow. I told her that it all depended on when the loan would be due, as I get paid from my job on Thursday ( if a loan is paid during a certain period of time, no interest would be required ). She told me that - if I paid the loan by Thursday, I would n't have to pay any interest. I then told her, in that case, I would borrow {$200.00}. XXXX proceeded to complete the paperwork for the loan. After I was approved for the {$200.00} and I signed all of the loan documents, XXXX then said to me, " Oh, you 'll have to pay it back by Wednesday, not Thursday ''. I asked her how much I would have to pay in interest and she stated {$47.00}. I told her ( since the initial information she gave me was WRONG ), that I then only wanted to borrow {$100.00} ( because I certainly do n't want to pay {$47.00} for such a short period of time ). She then snapped, " Now I 'm gon na have to do all this paperwork all over again! '' I told her, " Well, YOU gave me the wrong information about WHEN it would be due! '' She then said, " Well, I thought you would already KNOW since you come in all the time! '' So, because I come in all of the time gives XXXX an excuse to assume that the consumer should know more than SHE SHOULD?? So, after XXXX huffed and puffed and proceeded to process the {$100.00} loan, she said to me, " You were denied for the {$100.00} ''. I said, " What do you mean that I was 'denied ' when I was JUST approved for a {$200.00} loan? '' She said, " The computer denied you for the new amount ''. This was all due to XXXX 's error and her need to cancel the first ( approved, {$200.00} XXXX request. So, I had no choice but to leave with no loan - all because XXXX ca n't do her job correctly. She provided the wrong information, then appeared to be totally CLUELESS when the 'computer ' denied it.

I had been receiving calls from a woman stating she was going to serve legal documents in order to appear in court due to a debt owed to Ace cash express, she left several voicemails to my daughters phone stating she was an independent processor for XXXX county, never indicating what company she was calling from or what she was calling about. I decided to call the number back on XX/XX/XXXX and got a call back on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with an XXXX XXXX who stated Ace cash express was a multimillion dollar company and had a lot of evidence against me to file a civil suit against me in order to collect a debt owed for the amount of XXXX, however that they were looking for the amount of $ XXXX, I didnt recognize the account or the amount owed, I asked for a copy of the information to be sent through mail and proof of the debt owed but he told me I only had 24 hours to respond and after that we would have to go to court where I would owe more than {$2000.00}, stated my only options were to pay the debt or get an attorney. He provided an account number and also my personal information, I advised him I couldnt even look into the information because my daughters email was hacked. After speaking with him I looked into ace cash express where I found I did have a previous loan with them for the amount of XXXX. This company completely scammed me, they never indicated where they were calling me from, only stating they were calling from XXXX county about a civil suit, they refused to provide me with documentation of the amount owed and also charged me double the amount owed. Throughout the call I thought I was speaking with someone from XXXX county but then received an email stating it was from port-side solutions, which was never mentioned throughout the call, But then a charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX on my daughters card. XXXX XXXX phone number was XXXX, but Im still not even sure what company he was working for because as I stated he indicated he was calling from XXXX county.

Thursday XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received a call from a number listed as my local court house. XXXX. I was told that I was being sued and needed to be served my papers for court the following day at my place of home. She asked me for my current address, and I gave it to her thinking it was for a legal matter. I asked the lady who was suing me and she stated she was n't sure the documents were sealed. She stressed the documents did have a mediation stamp and that means I can contact the attorney and settle before XXXX that day and not be served. She gave me the number to the supposed attorney whom I contacted immediately at XXXX And a gentleman answered the phone and I told him who I was he pulled me right up and explained my debt of {$680.00} that I could make in payments of half then and half in XXXX to settle outside of court. I explained I was just getting back from maternity leave and would only be able to make payment of XXXX and the remaining on the XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. He then transferred me to the payment center and a lady took my payment, She explained she would go ahead and send me receipt to my email immediately after. I waited and never got a receipt finally wrote and called the number back Friday and Saturday and was told they would get it to me as soon as possible. I finally got the receipt and noticed they had my current address, which no one has except the lady that called from the " court house '' so I got to thinking I wonder how they got my updated address. I decided to contact the court house this morning at XXXX and make sure everything was settled. I was informed by the representative from the justice of the peace that I never had a case against me and they would never even call me before they serve. So I have caught this company in a lie. They represented their selves with a legit phone number saying they were the court house in my county. So I am highly upset and will be filing complaints with everyone I can.

I was contacted and left a voicemail by the same person three times in one week claiming to be XXXX XXXX representing XXXX. She stated on the voicemail, she was contacting me regarding legal complaints that are stemming from XXXX, that is attached to my name and then she stated the last XXXX numbers of my social. ( XXXX is my bank. ) I contacted my bank. They did not know anything about this. They put more security on my account deciding this could possibly lead to identity theft. Then I received another voicemail from XXXX XXXX, this time more information. She stated she was contacting me in regards to a check and fraud charge, that they have been asked to file against my name and social security number. Then by the third call XXXX XXXX left a voicemail that she received several legal complaints in her office regarding fraudulent allegations that are attached to my name and social security number. This was very upsetting because I did n't know who, XXXX was, and XXXX XXXX stated in the first voicemail that my bank, XXXX, was where the legal complaints were stemming from. My bank stated they do not have any legal complaints out against me. So she was lying. I was tired of the constant threats on my voicemail. I called the number XXXX to contact XXXX XXXX. She wanted my name, I stated I would just give my phone number. Then I waited and there was silence. So I just began speaking, " I would like you to stop contacting my number ... '' but before I could finish she started screaming at me that this was Ace Cash Express! So I said, " What is XXXX? '' That is who she said she represented in all of the voicemail 's. She said, '' They were going to file fraud charges against me, but was yelling at me and very unprofessional altogether. I could n't get a word in. It was verbal abuse, and I was n't going to take it. I ended the call. My phone rang and it was the number I called. She was calling back and I did not answer.

I was at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was in there for 2 months between XX/XX/XXXX in till XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XXXX. All my stuff got lost at hospital so I had to have a new debit card sent to me and I bank with XXXX XXXX Account by XXXX. I opened this account in XXXX at Ace Cash Checking ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC XXXX ). So the day I was discharged from hospital I called from the hospital to activate my new card and they red flagged me because I didn't call from my cell phone that was associated with my account because my cell phone was broke. So I had nothing on me and had to get my mother in law to buy me a train ticket and friend to buy me a new phone. Even when I called from my number associated they blocked my account. I answered all security questions correctly and they still wouldn't unblock my account. The train ticket was so I could get home to XXXX NC. I arrived home on XX/XX/XXXX and went to Ace Cash Checking to withdraw my money on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told they couldn't because of the block and I decided to close that account and open a new one and the manager XXXX at Ace told me to just close my account and they would send me a check. However I was told they could only send me a check through the mail even though I have a verified new account with them. Then after 3 weeks of waiting for my check I was informed they needed my birth certificate, social security card, and State ID. So I ordered a new birth certificate and all DMVS in NC are by appointment only. But I already had a photocopy of previous ID and social security card. So once I got my birth certificate on XX/XX/XXXX I sent them an email with these XXXX things and they said they need an ID that is active but I have everything else and even a new account with them but they refuse to release my money which is in the amount of {$2600.00}. So I am asking for help in getting my money.

I received a text on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX cst informing me of my attorney to contact XXXX XXXX. I have never heard from them or spoke with them before that day. I was asked to contact them at XXXX which I did. I verified my phone number and social security number with the representative. She informed me this was in reference to a debt that I had with ace cash express some time ago. I was told there is an outstanding balance owed of {$800.00} and was asked if I had committed fraud against ace cash express or did I run into a financial hardship. I can not remember the representative name but she sounded as if she was from XXXX or somewhere in that region, she offered a settlement of {$500.00} and I informed her that I could not pay that today. She asked if I could pay {$200.00} a month and I said no, then she started to get aggressive and I said {$150.00} a month I believe I could handle that. I proceeded to ask her for a letter in writing stating this payment plan, so I could have proof from their company in writing and she refused. She became hostile and verbally abusive to me. She stated that I just needed to give her my bank card or information. She would not allow me to explain why I was not comfortable with handling this matter this way. She then proceeded to tell me that I should get an attorney and that she is logging this conversation as a refusal to pay. I did not get a chance to say another word, because as I attempted to dispute her remark that I was refusing to make arrangements she hung up in my face. I have never in my life been treated so terrible and I know that is not in compliance with FDCPA laws and that I have rights as a consumer. I ask that you please assist me by investigating this company and their tactics. The representative also stated that she was in the legal department. Lastly the representative stated that she is turning my file over to the clerk of court office.

According to a guy claiming to be from the compliance office of XXXX XXXX there is a case against me that I am not sure how this came to pass. The gentleman was very rude and also contacted my brother and a clinic with the same hospital I work for but not the clinic I work in. I feel that I have received no information in regards to this issue with supposedly ACE CASH EXPRESS, according to them I received a loan, in an unsaid amount of money and it was deposited to a XXXX bank account with my information on it and that it was not paid due to account being closed, I have been with my current bank for over 3 years and have not been with XXXX for a long time now, so I am not sure about this, I was told that I am being charged with defrauding a financial institution and owe them money, well I do not agree that this is legitimate as I do not recall ever getting a loan from ace cash in XX/XX/XXXX. As for the money that they say that I owe, I have never received any documents in writing stating that I owe any money to them but now have a case pending against me? That really confuses me, because most companies would attempt to collect what could be owed instead of taking a person to court for a small amount as payday loans typically are. Please help me I am a single mother of XXXX boys and work very hard but do struggle to provide and feel that this could be handled differently and I feel that they are using bullying and scare tactics to get more from me then the amount that supposedly was borrowed, when asked for documentation I was basically told that they had already sent the information, but I have yet to receive anything in regards to anything of this nature. I would appreciate a little help trying to clear this up, If I owe something fine, but if this is not something that I owe even if they claim to have all my information that does not mean that I received any money from this place. Thank you

Went to Ace check cashing to cash a money order today the clerk was very rude at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX the District Manager is XXXX XXXX. XXXX did not offer me the opportunity to pay any of the amount that was due she simply kept the entire check and processed the amount owed plus a fee of XXXX Ace check cashing never made me aware that any fee was due i didnt expect the check to be returned it was from XXXX XXXX and i have a letter that shows they issued me a payment. I have had an account with Ace check cashing for 10 years I also have XXXX card and XXXX small business account. Of all the years of going to the various locations and interactions at the store locations I have never been treated as poorly as today. There is video footage of this incident and I will be reaching out to the XXXX or agencies that regulate financial check cashing franchises. This is a communication that shall serve as notice and opportunity for internal resolution regarding financial services. Additionally, because if her behavior I aim to establish an official grievance about the methodology of your collection practices dont let insufficient technology nor disgraceful employees representing the Ace Check Cashing brand undermine your business operations. Customers deserve to be notified of past balances due or alerted to scenarios that there checks did not clear to contact the issuer as well as make arrangements with Ace as necessary. The money I presented to Ace Check Cashing was necessary for bills and medical issues. IT was just as if being robbed that procedure needs to be mended.

I received a voicemail from a XXXX number on XX/XX/2020 and that her name is XXXX XXXX and she explained that she is calling about a case that is being filed to my county office. She said by law she was making me aware that case # was being filed with the county and becomes a matter of public record & there is an order for my location. Since she could not reach me by phone she has been instructed to call my employer & speak to my supervisor since this will be the best place of locating me. She said I have the legal right to contact the proceedings office that is handling my case but I have to speak with them before my case gets filed because once my case is discharged from there office my legal rights are forfeited. The phone # to their office is XXXX. I have to speak to someone in their legal department and this is considered a legal notification to locate me. So I called XXXX and they asked me my name and case #, social security # and proceeded to tell me that I have an outstanding debt with Ace Cash Express and that they going to start proceedings against me and asked where I work and if I have a lawyer to put on file. I told them I never heard of a company doing this before and I will not comply with them. My boss texted me that morning and said that they called her asking if I work there, what is my home address and phone #. They also told her the case # and that they were going to send a sheriff to locate me and that I am in contempt and have allegations against me. I was extremely applaud by this manner. Even after they knew where I lived and I had never received any letters or anything from this company. I should not be threatened that I have allegations against me or that a sheriff will come for me over a debt. I am extremely upset they told my boss all this information and again told her there is allegations against me over a debt as well. She did not comply with them either.

XXXX I opened an Ace CASH Flare, XXXX account. I opened an account as part of an offer to receive a {$100.00} credit under the following conditions : " To redeem this offer you must receive a direct deposit of payroll or government benefits to your Account within 60 calendar days of your receipt of this offer.

On XX/XX/2019 at XXXX, I Received A Call Identifying as XXXX County Legal Department/Office stating that there was legal action for a debt being owed and that a Suit was being filed against me. I explained that I was unaware of the Suit, nor Had I received documents in the mail. I was provided a phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX along with the Case number. At XXXX, I placed a call to the number provided to me, and spoke with a woman name, XXXX XXXX , who represented a company called " XXXX. '' She would not provide me with an address of this Company due to " safety of their clients. '' I stated the reason for my call, and provided the Case Number that was given to me. She stated that the Case was Locked, and needed to place me on a brief hold to get the case manager provided for my case to be unlocked, so that she may give me the details of the suit. After returning to the phone call, she proceed to explain to me that actions was being taken on by a Pay Day Loan Company accusing me of Fraud as well as providing me with information of cost if the suit continued with or outside of court. I stated I had not received any information in the mail in regards to this suit and asked that why Had I not been contacted. She replied with saying the company has no current address on file for me to be reached, although the Pay Day Loan was done within the current address. I was threaten to be taken to court if I did not agree with the payment arrangements to handle the case outside of court. Before I realized that this was indeed illegally, I recommended a different payment plan which she refused therefore leading me to end the call. I made a call to the first phone number identified as XXXX County Legal Department, if it was legit and no one answered the line. There was no recording verifying that this number was XXXX County Legal Department, nor was there a voicemail.

This afternoon at XXXX, I received a call from a phone number ( XXXX ). After I hung up, they called several times back to back. When I finally asked what they wanted, a woman responded that she needed to know where I was at so she can file papers to me, as I had a court order. I was stunned! I didn't know what I could have done for me to have a order against me. I was then told that I needed to call the number XXXX, and that my case number is XXXX. When I called, a man told me that he was from XXXX XXXX or something of that nature ( he went so fast I couldn't get the actual name, hence the phone numbers ), and he told me that I was going to be charged for fraud, and that I needed to either negotiate something with them or fight it in court. Obviously I was frustrated, and scared, so I said that I would take care of it with them. At first, my debt was around {$840.00} dollars, but then they said since I didn't get any paperwork it would be around {$660.00}. I told them I would do half on the XXXX of this month and the other half on the XXXX of next month. The process was weird ; first off I was misgendered SEVERAL times. I told the other individual that I was a woman and he kept referring to me as " sir '' even AFTER they recorded, which they said they needed to record since that was something they had to do. After I gave them my debit card information, and the conversation was done, I did a little research and I found out what they did was against the law! Not only that, but I also gave them my card number which is the main thing I'm worried about, as I am concerned this might be a product of fraud. I want them to delete all of my information, not process my card, and if I can get the same amount that they are pursuing, which they threatened to charge me with fraud, I would appreciate it. I am filing a complaint to my bank as well.

Back in XX/XX/XXXX, a friend that I used to live with in XXXX Texas called me and said that someone called her looking for me saying that if I didnt call back they would be taking me to court. I called them back and they stated that they were some type of legal agency ( XXXX XXXX ) and they were calling to collect the debt owed on a loan I took out at Ace Check Cashing. I do remember getting a loan with them, but due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to make a payment, and I was told it was sent to collections. I was told that if I disputed it I would be sued in court for an amount over {$1400.00}. They asked me to make a payment of {$400.00}, which at the time I couldnt. I was told that they could set me up on 5 weekly installments of {$80.00}. I didnt feel comfortable leaving my debit card on file with them, so I ordered a XXXX XXXX card to have for those payments. They kept my debit card on file, despite me giving them my XXXX XXXX card, and would attempt to charge my card for {$80.00} every Friday. I would then call and make my payments with my XXXX XXXX card. One day I questioned them asking if this was real and I was told that when I make my last payment I would receive some type of letter in the mail stating ( I cant remember what it was called ). I made my last the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I never received anything from them. I would try to call them and the phone would pick up and then disconnect, or it wouldnt be answered at all. On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to reach out to them again, and I spoke with a lady who said that its only sent when requested. She stated she would email it to me and i should have it within an hour. I never received an email from them and when I try to call I am back to getting disconnected or no answer. I have already reached out to both my bank and XXXX XXXX, but I dont know what else I should do.

A long-time customer of ACE Cash express, I took out a loan late XXXX. It was an installment loan, and my payments were about {$220.00} a month for 6 months. I hit on some expenses resulting from personal health issues.My elderly mother took sick as well, making it necessary for me to travel back and forth to take care of her. I had been in communication with ACE about this. I called them XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to advise them that I would get back in touch with them on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to make a payment, at which time I would have funds to work with. I then left and went to be with my mother in the hospital for 3 days during XXXX.I had just enough money for gas and meals while I was with her, and to pay on my phone and electric bills. I had no more than that to pay anything else. Ace debited my account without my authorization for the full {$220.00} I owed them. Yes, I owed them the money ( even though with the XXXX installment payments I had already made, I had paid them more than twice the amount of the loan, which I knew going in ). But I do not feel they were within their rights to debit my account WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION! This created a horrible situation for me, and I was already dealing with my own health issues as well as my mother 's. When I called and spoke with a supervisor, they were not interested in trying to redeem the situation. The fact that I had been a GOOD customer for 10 years or more made no difference to them.They had never done anything like this before. Presently I have a letter pending to their president, but I do not expect anything more than a canned response telling me how it was their right to take their money because I did not have any payment arrangement in place with them.But could they not have advised me that this was their intention when I spoke with them, prior to doing this?

On XX/XX/2020, I received a voicemail on my cell phone at XXXX. I wasn't able to answer the call because I was working. When I listened to the phone call the person that left the message identified herself as XXXX XXXX and she states she was " contacting me due to a case that is in the process of being filed in XXXX XXXX County and said by law she had to make me aware that once case # XXXX is filed through the county it becomes a matter of public record and there is an order to have me located, since she wasn't able to reach me by telephone she was instructed to contact my employer and speak directly to my supervisor because that looks like it most likely would be my place of location. She proceeded to say I had the legal right to contact the proceedings office that is processing my case however I had to contact them to before my case was filed. Once my case is discharged from their office all my legal rights will be forfeited. The number for that office is XXXX and it does state there that I will need to speak with their legal department. This is considered to be my notification by telephone and will be located unless otherwise instructed. '' I called the " proceedings office '' at the number provided in the voicemail and spoke to a representative named " XXXX XXXX ''. I advised her I had received a troubling voicemail threatening legal action and she proceeded to locate my account and read the " allegations '' that will be brought against me. I asked her for the name of their firm however she only told me the organization is named " XXXX '' and wouldn't provide a mailing address, all she told me was that they're headquartered in XXXX, Georgia. The reason I asked for the mailing address was to send a cease and desist notice however I was not provided that information by the hostile representative.

XXXX-Phone call received from # XXXX. It went to voice-mail. I listened and verbiage was odd. I have a visual vm image I'll attach with verbiage. Before I got the chance to call back, I had 2 family members call me saying they had been called. The person told them I'd be getting served from XXXX XXXX. Basically the same information that was left on my voice-mail. I called back and asked for the name of the agency and what debt they were collecting on. I then asked why I hadn't received any written correspondence when I asked for it the last time ( years ago ). I requested they mail me validation of debt owed so that I knew I was paying a legitimate debt and to the proper creditors. She said they would not and that she would note that I was not cooperating and have me served legal documents through XXXX XXXX. Then hung up the phone. I then called the original account holder who gave me a # to the collection agency they had on file, they had sold my account to another company. I then called them and they had sold it too. I'm now waiting on a call back from the 3rd buyer. I called back to XXXX and again requested that I be mailed validation, to which I was told they sent a letter " about 5 minutes ago to my email ''. The tone of the agent was condescending and threatening. When I respond that I want to make sure that I'm not being scammed I'm told to stop yelling. I explained again my frustration as I told her these hoops I went through before calling them back. I again requested it to be mailed to which I was told no. I asked for mailing information and companies business license number. I was met with more of an attitude. I was finally given a po box , another refusal of license information and hung up on. Not to mention I got a different business name every time I called.

I called ACE yesterday & person said they had no info for me except that my case # XXXX was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Telephone # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been harrassed & threatened by numerous parties including the XXXX previously mentioned. A person claiming to be Attorney XXXX XXXX from XXXX left a text on my cell threatening arrest & 6 months jail time. His telephone # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The telephone # he said to call is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. An Officer XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX Court called me yesterday & said an officer would come today to serve me with a Deposition Warrant & I could be held. He said he could not give me any info on what it was about or who was involved but gave me a # to call. ( XXXX ) XXXX. That # ended up being another attorney XXXX XXXX from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He said I owed {$270.00} to ACE. The amount owed according to ACE is {$250.00} from 2013. I had been helped initially by Attorney XXXX. It was my understanding the situation had been resolved. I had continued to receive calls from XXXX. The XXXX stopped their harassing & threatening calls. Some calls were automated & said for me or my representative to call them. My personal attorney XXXX XXXX of XXXX did call but no one answered. Most of the calls received were automated and only partial info was clear. They did not clearly state their name, the company they worked for or any other info. Naturally I assumed these were scams. Also the calls come from several different area codes and numerous calls a day. At XXXX point the message said it was check fraud which I thought was a scam because I do n't write checks. My bills are all online & paid online. I always pay my bills even if I need to make payments. I would appreciate any help & /or advice you can offer me. Thank you,

This took place at Ace cash express XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ohio XXXX. Took out a {$400.00} payday loan on XX/XX/2023 because I needed basic living expenses paid for until my next paycheck. Called the store to pay the full amount back on XX/XX/2023 and they said I had to pay over the phone on their automated line. Was transferred back and forth from their customer service line to their debt collections department even though I had no collections with them. This transfer happen 8 times and they kept me on the phone for XXXX minutes and XXXX seconds. All their lines were recorded so hopefully we can listen to them. I then called the store back to pay my loan, and they told me I had to come in to pay my bill ( keep this in mind ). XXXX minutes later I was able to rush over to the store and when I got there the attendant told me she was unable to hit the payment button on her system ( by the way this woman behind the computer was very nice, and polite, it was not her fault this happened ). So I asked her to call her manager because I couldnt believe that they wouldnt allow me to pay my bill. But it all made sense why they didnt want me to pay, its because I was in their 72 hour window and they couldnt charge me interest. So when I pulled up my copy of the contract that stated there is no pre-payment penalty I told her to call her manager back and tell her I needed to pay still. Her manager then made up some rule that was not in the contract that I had to make the payment in cash, even though its not stated in the contract this manager named XXXX said that is just is what it is, and for a fee ( {$6.00} ) I could withdraw the cash from them to pay back my bill, then proceeded to act like she was doing me a favor. This place is XXXX, and spooky very fitting for XXXX day.

This is a payday loan that I do not remember taking out from back in 2003. I received a phone call stating they were NOT a collection agency that they were sending the information over to swear out a warrant in debt against me for XXXX if paid today or XXXX if not paid today. I have not received any notification for this debt in over 12 years but I remained in the same area. I asked for information about the debt the first gentleman ( rudely ) suggested that I had this money wired to my bank account and presented a check on an account that was closed. This is not the case as they verify that accounts are open prior to giving funds to anyone. Further when I asked for the location or information about the original creditor I was provided with my maiden last name, a last four digits of an account and routing number that supposedly belonged to me and the year of 2003 but no real information pertaining to the creditor. The did give me Ace Check Express but could not provide me with the city, state, store number or circumstances around the attempts to collect the debt. Further, I told them that I was in a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy and that they would have to wait until I contact my attorney because all debts that were on my credit report were placed under the bankruptcy. I was told specifically that they are not affected by my bankruptcy because intentionally do not report to the credit bureaus for that reason alone. This is unfair to me as a consumer and I would like this investigated. They are defrauding the bankruptcy system and it should not be allowed. Further their collection efforts were weak and non existent over a 12 year period where I was in a high visibility job and in the area. XXXX is the number I was contacted by and now I feel as if I am being extorted.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX-XXXX-XXXX advising that I was facing felony charges. Panicked, I spoke with an agent at the same number on XX/XX/XXXX who advised the charges were for check fraud for an old payday loan with ACE Cash Express that I had completely forgotten about. The agent gave me a case number stating in XXXX that I needed to call XXXX-XXXX-XXXX ( Named XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) immediately as legal processing was already started and the charges would be filed with the courts XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, because ACE had filed the complaint and already received full payment from the courts, the courts would then come after me with a warrant for my arrest if I did not pay the full amount the same day. I called the given phone number and provided the case number provided - the gentleman, who identified as XXXX XXXX urged that I pay immediately to avoid criminal charges on my record, having a warrant out for my arrest, and facing 3 months of jail time, and refused to take any partial payment. I attempted to explain I had seen no documents or anything on my credit suggesting I was in collections. The balance owed during the call was for {$760.00} and the bank account I used was open when I took out the payday loan, the bank account was closed after two NSF attempts went through. Wanting to avoid felony charges or jail time, I paid the balance ; and they sent this sketchy contract via email to electronically sign. After the payment was received, they gave a disclosure that if I attempted to dispute the charges in the future, the original legal proceedings would continue, and they sent an email receipt expressing the debt was paid in full. I could not find anything about this XXXX, XXXX online except for what looked like a stock website.

On or around XX/XX/2018, my mother received a phone call asking for me and telling her I need to call them because there is a warrant for my arrest. Later that day, my Father who lives in a completely different state called and said he received a similar call stating if he did not give them my contact information, he would be sued along with me. I finally decided to give them a call because I do not get into trouble criminally so I was intrigued. When I called, I was immediately threatened with a lawsuit if I did not pay the amount owed on years old debt. I clarified with them that this was a debt situation and not a criminal suit and they said yes. I asked them why they were contacting my family in regards to a debt as if I am facing jail time. They continued to ask about my financial situation. I informed them that I had been unemployed for over a year and am now XXXX and on XXXX XXXX and did not currently have an income. The representative then stated well if you can't pay all of it we will push your lawsuit through. I explained to them that there is no possible way for me to pay them in the condition I am in now but since I am now aware of the situation, I will rectify as soon as I am able to work again. I also asked them not to contact the number I called them from because it was a family members phone I was borrowing or my parents. They assured me that they would not call that number but, this morning ( XX/XX/2018 ) that family member received a call in regards to my " case '' and got scared. Once I spoke with them they again told me to contact their " legal locating office '' or they will come to my last known address/work. At this point I am feeling harassed and backed into a corner on a situation I can not amend right now.

I do not recall the first time I was contacted by this company but I have attempted several times to receive information regarding the supposed debt. I received very little information just that its a payday loan that I " think '' was applied for in 2013? I may be completely wrong on that year. When they were going thru the " verification '' process they had several Identification facts correct, apparently someone did have an ID/ or an old drivers license of mine. However in the talk they asked if my email was ** it was not, they also asked what my relation was to several people, well I didn't know a single one of them. So I did digging of my own and looked the email up via XXXX, the wonders of the internet are incredible. But alas I came across another person with my name only this was her married name not her maiden name. I reached out several times to try and contact her and her ex husband and never got any replies. I am putting the complaint in today because while I don't believe this woman used my information for any other purposes as nothing has shown up on my credit report in the past XXXX years except accounts I myself have started. I have a phone number for the collections company and an account number they have affixed to it but no other information from them. They have assured me if I ignore the expected delivery of paperwork tomorrow that I will be persocuted and funds will be allocated thru a default judgement. It honestly isn't even about the amount of this loan it's the pure fact I know it wasn't me, and they refuse to show me any proof they have of who took out the loan. If they allowed someone to use my expired ID to take out a loan I have the right to be XXXX you can't even buy a beer with an expired ID lol.

I have been getting calls from phone number XXXX telling me to call XXXX and XXXX. They have called leaving aggressive messages on the voicemail for days. I have tried to ignore the calls and threats of turning my info over to the courts and them calling my so called supervisor. Here recent and the thing that mad me super upset was that they called a nearby contact. They stated to them that they knew I lived there and was going to come & drag me out of the house. Well this scared them they contacted me & advised they would be calling the police! That is a major THREAT to my persons & at this point I am going to file a report to law enforcement. I'm also going to initiate a cease and desist order no contact with myself or any associate. No one should be threatened to that magnitude I don't care what or if they owed anything. I'm HIGHLY upset and I'm looking for action to be taken ASAP!! The caller was a XXXX and XXXX XXXX or who they claimed to be. I called the numbers back and couldn't get anyone on Wednesday. I reached out to the XXXX number today they id 'd as legal services attorneys which I know they are not. They gave me info about the debt being with ACE CASH. They gave me the name of global and location services as I stated I had been threatened. They stated that they could not give me info or contact number for this company they used. XXXX who claimed to be the supervisor at legal services was rude and didnt want to help she kept hanging up on me at XXXX. My ENTIRE issue here is me being threatened! I will not stand for that at all you can do your job without making threats I DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED BY ACE CASH OR ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH ACE! They need to investigate the who I will not be threatened.

I received a {$1800.00} payday loan from ACE Cash Express to help me pay rent one month. I was following the payment plan for 2-3 payments as scheduled. I worked in a tipped wage job and business slowed down and I struggled to pay my immediate bills and was not able to pay my scheduled payments for the payday loan. This continued for several months until ACE Cash Express sent my account to a collection agency. This agency, which claims they work for ACE Cash, has employed a locating service which I believe is using unfair and unethical practices to locate and intimidate me. They have called me up to 10 times in a row and left messages stating that I was being " served '' in accordance with some legal action but was not told who the debt was with nor the amount. These calls were also made to my family members, some to extended family members in other states. They were also called several times in a row and left messages as if it was my telephone number and the messages included the same legal action threats and that I was being served. I believe the company knew they were contacting someone other than myself and still left messages containing personal information as a way to slander me and have family members contact me. These calls were also placed with my personal friends with the same revealing messages and then they began calling the owners of the company I worked for. All of these people received phone calls back to back on several different days, to the point of harassment. They all received the same threatening and personal information about myself. ACE Cash has had a judgment against them for their debt collection practices back in XXXX and apparently they are continuing these practices today in XXXX.

I have been recieving repeated calls from a company called " XXXX ''. They claim that they have been hired by Ace Cash Express to 'retain a statement regarding impending legal action ' about a payday loan that was taken almost two years ago. They wont give me any further information, and claim to be a network of attorneys debating taking legal action against me. I asked for a verification of the debt and they refused to provide ... This was a red flag. I called Ace Cash Express and they say that they sold the loan last year. This XXXX companyproceeded to verbally harrass me, told be that i have been 'writing bad checks ' and 'defrauding a financial institution. ' After I asked them to remove my work number, as my company prohibits personal communications on the company line, and only contact me on my cell phone they claimed they couldnt do that, stated " I dont have time for your XXXX games '' and then hung up on me, called the owner of my company and left him a long message stating that " XXXX XXXX, your employee, is writing bad checks, and embezzling funds '' and " XXXX XXXX i really just need you to bend him over and give him a good spanking, so that he stops all of his illegal behavior you know these are serious crimes ''. I called the number back and asked for their address or contact information and they refused to provide it, but began to berate me again, telling me that they will keep calling my employer, and my family, and i would have less of a chance of being fired from my company over all of this if i just paid up. I feel that they are operating outside the law and their tactics are extremely harassing. They still call my phone XXXX four times a day as well as call my work. Their number is XXXX.

I took out a loan and went back to pay it off and take a new one the next day. This is a process I have used before. When I made the payoff it was a lot higher than it usually is and the person at the store couldn't tell me why but said I was not the only person who was complaining about it being higher but the company had not released any info to the public or them about any changes. I then went in the next day to talk to the store manager and she told me she didnt have any access to my loan info only what my last pay off amount was but no details on the current or older loans to help compare. She then gave me the number to the customer service over the phone for the company I called them and they couldn't give it to me either they said the store is the only one who can provide this info. My last attempt to get the info was speaking to the area manager who told me he would get with the loan dept and find out why it was higher and get the info on the interest, When he called back all he said they were able to give me was the reason the prior pay off was less is because i took out a smaller loan which has nothing to do with what I was asking for. I mentioned it was a violation of the truth and lending act to not share the details of the loan with me when requested and if he cant get it the store cant get it the customer service number cant get it and the loan team doesn't have access how in the world can I get the info he simply apologized and said it was all he could give me. I still had to take out another loan as I wasn't financially prepared to pay it all off at once and not take a new one so I am currently making installment payments on the loan now and they cant give me info on this loan either.

On XX/XX/2019 I was contacted by a local phone number that actually belongs to my city police department. The caller informed me that she works for the XXXX Police Department and she was trying to verify my location so that she can have me served with court documents. When I stated I did not know who would be suing me, she gave me the name of the law firm, XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX and said that I have an hour before my papers were served. When I called the number above, I was told that they were a law office and that I had a lawsuit against me for fraud and embezzlement and that I had one hour to pay the debt in full or they would contact my employer letting them know I had committed fraud. I agreed to pay the {$5700.00} on my credit card, which included a {$150.00} charge to rescind the court paperwork. After I paid charge I began to believe the claims were untrue so I returned the call I had received from the local police department which is when I discovered that my police department had not been involved at all and that it is possible for these scammers to tap into local authority 's phone banks to begin the scare tactics and send the consumer to the false legal firm. I then called back the company and was told they are actually a collection agency called " XXXX XXXX '' and that their parent company is " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke to a XXXX XXXX and a XXXX XXXX, both of which used vile and insulting language, calling me a deadbeat and asking if this is how I raised my children to be a loser. All the while I told them I was trying to determine the legal nature of their collection practices. Now I am reaching out to all agencies to put a stop to the illegal collection practices.

Not to mention i have already paid them double of what I have borrowed already and have always used them and paid every single loan on time every time was never late. Today i get a call from a guy calling from a company called XXXX number XXXX asking me if I will be home so he can come and deliver me some papers THRU XXXX XXXX, which led me to believe that he was a sheriff. I asked him what was this for and it said he would have to transfer me. He transferred me and it was Ace Cash Express. I was livid when she told me that this is a validation letter that was going to be mailed to my home. I called him back and told him that i will be home i was calling off, but i wanted to know what was his job title and why was he coming to my home to give me papers, He said he was a courier. I do n't feel safe with someone that knows my information threatening to bring papers to my home. The person that i spoke with said that he must have been confused so i called him back just to make sure this was n't a mistake. He asked for my work address and if i still worked for my old job and then said the name of the place. By this time i have my recorder on and asked him the same questions again just to make sure that this really just happen.And he said the same thing but got mad and said you are being blocked. and hung up in my face.

I was called by an unknown number and they left a voicemail from a XXXX XXXX. ( Sidenote a quick XXXX search of XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ' will shed some light into this matter ) The voicemail reads as follows, " Hello XXXX XXXX this is XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX I previously left you a message notifying you of a civil claim today is Friday, XX/XX/XXXX.

The number is XXXX when calling in XXXX refer to case number XXXX you have been notified the day and good luck '' I was NEVER left a message by this man or anyone at this company. The first time I hear from them I'm being threatened to be sued? The " good luck '' part at the end is what extremely angers me. To try to intimidate me into paying today so I won't have civil suits against me. So I did a quick google search and saw a large number of people referring to this man and company by name as a debt extortion scam. I called him back and let him know that I need information on this account and to call me back ASAP. Today is not the day to call and threaten my freedom and I will do everything in my power, if this man and company is indeed a scam, to bring light to this unbelievable tactics of trying to force someone's hand to pay. Whether it is a scam or not, no consumer should have to be in fear of legal action from one phone call you can't even get a response from. Please let me know if there's anymore information I need to submit. I have the voicemail saved and would be happy to send it. Thank you very much.

XX/XX/2018 I was contacted by a debt collection company by phone stating that I would be going to jail for check fraud unless I paid $ XXXX, for a loan I was given by ACE CASH EXPRESS approximately 10-15 years ago. I am currently on SSI/Disability and I told that to the person on the line " whom I later learned was named XXXX ''. And I explained to him that I didn't have that kind of money and was struggling to make ends meet. However I did tell him that I could make an arrangement to pay something each month until it was paid off and he asked " how much '' and because of my current financial struggle I stated that I could pay at least $ XXXX- {$25.00} per month and at times maybe more until it was paid off. Well XXXX then stated that he couldn't accept that low of an amount and asked if I could ask my friends and family members and come up with {$1700.00} that day and take care of this. I again told him that I was unable to come up with that amount so he said he could lower that to {$700.00}, and I told him that I have no friends or family members that would loan me that kind of money. He then drop it down to {$500.00} ... ..and once again I stated that I just was unable to come up with that amount. He then said " well can you ask your friends and family members for {$170.00} today, to keep me from sending somebody out to pick you up today XXXX meaning arresting me and taking me to jail ). Frustrated and afraid of being arrested, I told him that I would make a few calls to someone and see what I could do. Unfortunately I was unable to come up with any money, and when I tried calling back several times I kept getting a busy signal. " Please Help Me ''? The Docket # XXXX

My account with ace went into collections when my wife lost her job and we were struggling to pay bills and we are back on our feet and currently waiting on back pay from the military for being on the XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX ( which isnt a payday ) my account was withdrawn by ace for {$410.00}. I called in panic and I was told there was nothing they could do by a manager and that he will ensure it doesnt happen again and he will stop the overdraft and that we can do that according to my contract. But I e signed a paper that says I dont want auto draft and he agreed and said he will fix it. Because of that payment I wasnt able to pay rent and eventually had to break my lease and move on XX/XX/XXXX because I couldnt afford all the late fees and double rent and was threatened for eviction. After being told he would fix it I didnt worry about it and would pay the loan in full in XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX {$690.00} was drafted from my account which is another non payday causing overdraft and my first rent here in our new place I cant even pay rent again, my car note cant be paid again. I have a XXXX year old and a XXXX month old. I looked for my contract and couldnt find it anywhere, I also went to other loan sites from previous borrowers and found my contract but I cant with ace and theres no proof of it so I need to see it. Why on earth would you take money from an account that goes into collections when collections means I clearly am having trouble paying it back, like why?? And the payment amounts are large and inconsistent which is also unfair. The guy told me he would handle it and he didnt and I need that money back into my account

I informed XXXX I provided my information based on the XXXX 's statement that she could cash the check. I would not have given my information to Ace if not for her stating they could do the deal. My personal information is mine and I chose to protect it. I feel its completely within my rights to have it removed from their system. I do not nor have I done business with them -- they have no right to hold my information hostage like that. I would respectfully request that ALL my personal information be purged from their system.

The company name was XXXX. They first contacted a reference I listed on my application on XX/XX/20 and she was told by the guy that contacted her that he was forseeing office for XXXX County and proceeded to give her a case number for me to contact them. I contacted them and was told that if I didn't pay them, they would proceed to take action and send my information to the county to take me to court. I recently just found out I'm pregnant so I was scared, offered my card number and attempted to make a payment for {$210.00} but card was declined. I told him I would call back when my direct deposit hit and the guy XXXX XXXX told me if I didn't call back that would be a breach of contract and they would go forward with submitting my information to the county. I didn't call back that day because I wanted to investigate especially since I just don't have the funds at the moment and they drafted my account anyway. The next day on XX/XX/20, I contacted them and asked them to remove my card information and the lady XXXX told me that means they would forward my case to county. They then proceeded to contact my mother in Mississippi that's not on any of my paperwork and also takes care of my XXXX father and attempted to collect the debt from her and let her know the amount of the debt. I contacted them again and asked them not to harass my mother, she then told me her number was removed but my mother received another phone call again this time telling her the company it was for Ace Cash Express. To my knowledge it is against the law for them to harass family members and to let them know the amount of the debt.

My husband and I took out payday loans with acecasheexpresss.com in person in the XXXX, CA office XXXX. We made payment arrangements because we could not pay the lump sum at the time. Ace Cash Express called us several times a day for over a year and had individuals calling us stating they had legal documents that we needed to sign for and we needed to be at our home or work at certain times to receive thee documents or legal action would be taken, including adverse reporting to our credit reports and felony criminal charges. They also submitted the original check for the full amount of {$300.00} after I had made {$150.00} payment as agreed which caused overdraft fees so Couldn't make the final payments and cause other payments to bounce. It is now XXXX and we receive threatening calls almost daily from XXXX XXXX XXXX which claims they have a court case or legal action they want to negotiate for us out of court. They won't give any information about the original debt or give a case number. I know they don't have an actual court case because we have never been served actual court documents stamped by any court. We receive repeated calls from " Process Servers '' that use untraceable voip numbers and refuse to say who they hired them to serve the " legal '' documents or give us information about themselves. We have tried to make payments but Ace Cash Express has refused to accept anything but the full amount and continues to threaten legal action, calls us names, uses profanity, and violates Fair Credit Collections Act. We have verbally and in writing asked the, m to to stop contacting us to no avail.

She told me that a medaiator company is who was handling my account and gave me this number XXXX called XXXX. I talked to them and they made the same threats and I was scared so I gave them my account info. I thought about it and then called the FTC then CFPB after they reffered me. I spoke to both and they told me it sounded like a scam and to stop the debit so I closed my account and opened a new one. They also told me ask for their license. I called XXXX back and told them I was filing a complaint and I needed the license number and their names. The desk girl got really upset and said she just worked the desk, she had no idea what they were doing and she knew it wasnt right and she didnt want legal problems and said she would stop the payments. She pretty much admitted that they were a scam. the email that the sent stuff from was XXXX they call themselves XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I asked them to email me everything and the refused the would only email a payment schedule. I want to press charges, they had me in tears acting like they were on their way to arrest me and then scamming me out of my money. I called ace cash express and the debit has been sold and I couldnt track it, where they said they sold it no longer had it.

I recently received an incredibly threatening letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of Ace-Inc threatening to sue me, go into my bank accounts, etc. I believe that they called me recently, and Ace Cash Express has called me a number of times over the past couple of years. I took out a payday loan with them about 7 or more years ago and the amount they claim was not what I took out. The email they sent says that I took out {$300.00} but payday loans are usually {$250.00}. What's troubling is that they have my SS, birthdate, addresses, phone number, etc. I'm pretty certain that I included this loan in my bankruptcy around the same time. The recent document is threatening to sue me, and worse. I XXXX XXXX and it says it's a scam. Many people posted that they received the exact same template letter with the same threats. I am very concerned because they have my SS, etc. and license number. I believe that years ago ACE CASH EXPRESS had a data breach and now someone has my info. They threaten to freeze my bank account, contact the IRS, etc. The thing is that none of this is on my credit report so I believe it's a total scam!!! This also is past the statute of limitations in CA which is 4 years. The document says they are suing me for {$11000.00} for one payday loan. I have not responded and most certainly won't. How do I protect myself now that they have my identity? They are claiming that they will file a judgment against me! This is nonsense! I looked up XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and it looks like a credit repair company which helps consumers, not a debt collector! Something is very fishy!

XX/XX/XXXX I took out a payday loan from ACE Cash Checking from a store in XXXX XXXX. I borrowed {$250.00} and paid {$45.00} in fees. I was supposed to return a month later after receiving my check and pay off the loan. However, an ACE employee made a mistake and instead of being charged the money a month later, they wanted me to pay 2 weeks after taking out the loan. I explained that I could n't pay back the loan in such a short time, since I was yet to receive my check. They still charged me the money and it was hard for me to make that payment and still have enough for rent, bills, and more importantly to be able to provide what my XXXX kids needed. Because of ACE 's mistake, I had to renew the loan instead of paying it off as I had hoped. I fell behind on my phone and other bills. Every month I returned to renew the loan because I could n't pay off the full amount without falling behind even more. For 3 years I renewed the same loan. XX/XX/XXXX I had an XX/XX/XXXX at work and I was unemployed for XX/XX/XXXX months and was now receiving XXXX. I could n't afford to pay the loan and went to a friend for help. She lent me enough to renew the loan, but now I owed her and ACE. I continued with the loans a few more months until I really could n't do it anymore. I had to default after paying roughly {$1600.00} in fees alone over 3 years. A bit after defaulting I began receiving call and letters asking me to pay back what I owed. Still 2 years after defaulting, a collection agency is still calling asking for the money. I 've paid enough to ACE and can not continue with this cycle.

Yesterday I received a phone call from XXXX stating that I owed {$790.00} from an online payday loan in 2017. They also called relative. On both of our voicemails they left a case number and a phone number to call. No name of the company. When I called the number left on the voicemail, XXXX, they said that my case was locked because someone was filing charges against me for breach of contract and a fraudulent bank related charge. They put me on hold for about 2 minutes so that they could request for the case to be made access to them and came back on the line. Then they said that they were indeed able to gain access. These two charges plus what I owe would then cost me {$1900.00}. Thats if I didnt pay right then. If I paid right then, over the phone, then it would be {$790.00}. They still could not give me a company name and would only told me what the company did which was to collect debt. I told them that Id be willing to pay if they could offer me something in writing before stating that if I paid, then Id be cleared. They said they couldnt do that. The company said that after I made the payment, then theyd be able to offer documentation. Im not sure if they were telling the truth, but demanding someone to pay money over the phone without anything in writing just doesnt seem ethical to me. Then theyd have my bank information and who knows if it was even for Ace cash express. Throughout the call they suggested that I would need to contact an attorney and at the end they told me good luck. I think that the whole call was an intimidation technique and thats not ethical.

Apart from getting laid off by your current employer after we send them the legal notice you will be blacklisted from getting any job. Through an IRS ( Internal Revenue Service ) your Social security number will be put on hold causing severe damage to your credit history or credit report and your income paychecks will be put on hold. Any child support, Disability, Unemployment or retirement benefits will be either place on hold or will be stopped until the outcome of the case. Our primary job was to notify you about the case before we send you legal document in the mail because once this case gets registered then we wont be able to help you out of court. Our client is least interested in getting the money at this point as they want to just go ahead and start taking legal actions however we wanted to contact you and give you last chance to resolve this case out of court. If you take care of this out of court then we will release the clearance certificate from the court and we will make sure that no one will contact you in future. Please let us know what your intention is by today itself so we can hold the case or else we will meet you in court house. It is a mandatory process before filing LAWSUIT we have to inform the defender by any means. Our intention is not to threat you, it is only an effort from outside to settle this case outside the court. Come back to us ASAP, as the case in hand is time sensitive.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX .- These are all the dates this company used a skip tracing robo dialer system to reach me. On the first initial contact I missed the call and called back. I talked to a gal. Which informed me the call was about a payday loan I took out and fell on hard times. I let herr know that I am in the process of taking care of my delinquent debts and would like something in writting. She let me know she can email it to me. I provided and verified the email address with her. She was very pleasant. The next couple of calls I did not answer for I was at work. I then got another call and answered it at work and let the rep know that I am ceasing all future calls to myself and she told me there was nothing she can do about that calls and cant promise that. I then let herr know at this point I am educated with the law and let her know again her company is not to contact me on my cell phone again she rudley cold tranfered me to what she called a specialist. I ended the call. Today XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I answered the call and again its that comapny with a skip tracing messaging used via a robo dialer system ( not a live rep ) I had to press 1 if I knew the wear-abouts of myself. I was then transfered to a live rep = Which i informed the rep they are robo dialing a cell phone and they have been ceased from communication. he claims i have to send a letter. I let him know that I verbally told the company already twice before. as I asked in what this is pertaining he terminated the call.

In XXXX XXXX, I was contacted along with my friends regarding being taken to court for a debt from ACE Cash Express. They refused to give me any information regarding proof except to continue to threaten me and the individuals they claimed were listed on as references. Even when I made arrangement to pay {$150.00} and gave them my bank account # out of fear they would file with XXXX courts, they continued to call and harass me and my friends. I spoke to a young lady by the name of XXXX XXXX who was very helpful in explaining that they would adjust the date to ensure funds were available when they withdraw. The payment schedules were in line with my pay dates. However for the month of XXXX the payment schedule was changed to be the week after my pay date which is a conflict with other bills. I contacted the agency on several dates this week to ask why the payment had not been withdrawn. After XXXX XXXX. I was provide the contact number of XXXX and XXXX answered. When I requested proof of the debt, She stated it would not be provided until after the debt was settled. she said I had a balanced of {$1200.00} left to settle the debt. When I asked to change the date back to this week she said it would not be changed. She then said I had the option to not continue to work with the company and the matter be forwarded to the courts. I told her I was not trying to be difficult but I have paid over {$1800.00} to this company already without any proof due to scare tactics and do n't want it be that they had no legal authority to collect this debt when I finish making payments

Hello, I have received a call from XXXX group in attempt to collect a debt on XX/XX/2017. During this call I requested that they send me a hard copy letter with more details so that I would feel more comfortable giving my banking information over the phone.They said they would do so, as well as sending an email. I did receive an email, however it seemed fishy because the senders email address was a different name than the name that was signed at the bottom of the letter. Since they agreed to send a copy through classic postal services, I decided to wait until I received the hard copy to ensure it was not a scam. I haven't received anything in the mail to this day, so I assumed that it was not a legitimate call as they didn't provide proof of debt in paper, so I proceeded to ignore any calls from that number until I could receive verification. Now my relatives are calling me, saying that somebody is looking for me and that there are charges against me. My aunt even stated that after she spoke with whoever was calling her about me that he said " She can consider herself served ''. I'm not sure how to take that but I do feel threatened. Today I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX, with my updated phone number asking them to send me something in paper so I can go ahead and make arrangements to clear the debt. I have also called three different numbers that seem to be linked to this group, and the line doesn't even ring. I will attach the letter, I sent along with receipts to this record. I will also attach the email the " XXXX representative '' sent me as well.

My original payment amount was {$700.00} dollars. I had called and asked how many days I had to return the money and they had told me 7-10 days to pay off. I paid off the loan within the time frame. I had previously been charged a certain fee. The original loan date was XXXX however I did not get the deposit until the XXXX. ( this information comes in hand later on ). I never received a notice, a letter, or an email advising of that pending amount. I am currently unemployed and I do not have the funds to be paying off excessive amounts of money. I spoke with a representative today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and I told her that I wanted my money back. and that I was not aware of what was owed. She gave me an email to see if I could get my money back and set up a payment arrangement but she told me that there was nothing further that she could assist me with. That I according to her knew that there was that balance owed. She also told me that I had 72 hours from the time the loan was processed to return the loan. How do I return a loan in 72 hours if it took the loan 72 hours for me to receive??? I paid off the original amount of the loan which was {$700.00} within the 7 days that they told me. They then removed XXXX from my bank in a check form! they do not notify me that I owed something! I need a resolution ASAP since I am unemployed and do not have the money to cover this loan. With everything that is going on in the world and this whole covid19 and unemployed thing going on, i would think that they would try a little harder to assist us in getting our back.

I was contacted by a person named XXXX XXXX who said he was a locator for a company and needed to verify my information so that he could serve me with paperwork for a possible claim being brought against me. When I informed him I had no idea what he was talking about he provided me with a claim # XXXX and the phone number XXXX of a company that he says he did n't know the name of because he claims to only received sealed packages. Said I needed to speak with them within 30 mins or he would be calling me back. XXXX called from ( XXXX ) XXXX and called 3 times in a row each time I did n't answer, so he called me 7 times including today ans has left me 2 messages. When I called the company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that sent him, they informed me that I owed them because they bought a debt from Ace Cash. I asked for backup documentation and he told me that I was well aware of the laws about not meeting my obligations and there was nothing else he could do for me and would notate i was unwilling to resolve this voluntarily. I asked again for documentation that I owe his company money and that the law requires him to provide it to me so I can review. He informed me that my stall tactics would n't work and that would proceed with whatever avenue they have. He claimed the person calling me did n't work for his company and was a locator hired to serve me documents. After XXXX XXXX called me this morning, I sent him a text messages informing him that he was harassing me, he company refused to provide valid documentation and that I was reporting his number to your office.

I had an original payday loan from XXXX XXXX. It was bought by XXXX XXXX XXXX which I saw listed on my credit report, so I called and settled this outstanding account with them. I received the paperwork confirming my debt has been settled. I received an email from an " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' from a XXXX XXXX saying that they will send me a summons to court for non-payment and lack of response. They are asking for a credit or debit card number to settle it for {$980.00}, which they later revised to {$750.00}. The email to respond to was XXXX and XXXX. I responded with a copy of the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( about my account being paid ) and this person from ACE said that they know about my settlement, but these are legal fees. I said I would look into the account further. This person has become increasingly aggressive, asking when I can provide my card info. I asked for their financial department if a money order can be used ( to protect my information ). They said they only accept debit or credit. They have kept sending me emails within the hour, threatening to proceed with legal action. I consulted with a lawyer from XXXX XXXX about this case who thinks this may be a fraudulent company. The lawyer said that once a debt is paid, it is paid. I am waiting for a letter from XXXX XXXX to assist me in this case. I also wrote an email to XXXX XXXX to ask if they are affiliated with " ACE '' and to assist me with updating my account, if it is still being distributed to outside channels for non-payment even though I had settled it.

A company with the name XXXX left me a voice mail the morning of XX/XX/2021 at XXXX stating they are calling in regards to my case which is in the process of being filed against me in the county of XXXX XXXX XXXX . I was unable to take the call because I was still asleep after spending a long night taking care of my grandmother, IMMEDIATELY they begin calling my sister, my grandmother, my parents. I woke up by calls from all of them saying the XXXX XXXX Police Department called saying I am required to contact them or they will take the case further my grandmother thought I had been arrested and began crying for hours. I listen to the voice mail before calling and I believed it was a scam, the voicemail has no specifics, no company, no mention of what the debt is, no notification about the claim. Ive never received a call from this company before, Ive never been notified before of a debt being given to collections, I get a call today saying I am going to have fraud charges filed against me unless I pay. I am already homeless, I dont have money. This company made my family so concerned and made me so concerned I had to borrow money I do not have to pay off something that wasnt even in collections and I most likely would have never gone to court for. But they harassed my family, they called my last employer, they made my grandmother cry and fear that I had been arrested. And the first time I am notified of this debt until the end when it was solve was all in the matter of 3 hours. They did all of this, in three hours to collect a petty debt.

I got a phone call from my sister on XX/XX/XXXX, stating at a company was trying to reach me regarding a debt. She gave me the number XXXX and claim # XXXX that they gave her. I called the number and didn't hear how they answered or the business they were with. They asked for the last 4 of my SSN and then repeated the entire number back to me. They told me they were contacting me about {$800.00} I owed Ace Cash Express from XX/XX/XXXX and asked if I intentionally closed my old bank account because they were looking at legal ramifications. I told them I never closed the account and it was never intentional, but I was going through a rough time and had paid the debt down to {$600.00}. I asked them the name of their company and they told me " This is statewide. We are a pre-litigation firm. '' They asked if I'd been served to appear in court at work or home and I said no. I told them I could pay the debt next month and then they said they needed to pre-qualify me for a payment arrangement and asked how often I got paid. I then asked them to mail me something in writing so I could verify the information. They refused, saying that if they did that, they couldn't help me and the company would be forced to have me appear in court. I told them I was just asking for verification of the debt. She told me she would transfer me to case management and when I said I just wanted it in writing and she wasn't helping me, she tried to transfer me again. I cut her off, saying to have a nice day and she screamed into the phone " have fun in court! ''

In Re : Ace Cash Express Online Store I was trying to pay the loan off ( in full ) early to avoid a large interest rate and additional fees. When I tried to pay the loan off on XX/XX/XXXX, the website would not take my payment, nor would the customer service automated line, nor directly with a customer service representative. I was advised by customer service that I would have to go to the branch closest to me to pay the loan amount in full. I advised the customer service representative ( CSR ) that I was out of state and that paying at a local branch was not an option for me. I insisted that the loan be paid over the phone. The CSR said she didnt have the ability to take payment by phone. I called the Ace Cash office closest to where I live ( XXXX ) and that CSR advised he couldnt take my payment either since the loan request was all done online. He advised to go to any branch to make a payment. I had to go to a branch to pay the loan off, and even then, the branch said they would not be able to accept my payment. I had to insist that they call a member of management. As a legally XXXX customer, I found it extremely difficult to not only try to pay my loan off early, but to also have to physically go into a branch. I was able to pay the loan off within the 72 hour window, and was still charged for interest that had not yet accrued. When I went to the branch and asked for a copy of my loan docs, the representative said that she was unable to do that. I received the loan on XX/XX/XXXX and paid it in full on XX/XX/XXXX

In XX/XX/XXXXof last year I got a loan from ACE Check Cashing so i could keep my self afloat. I had just lost my job and filed for unemployment ( i was told verbally was approved ) at the time when i took the loan. At the time the person i had been dating all year stole that loan money and disappeared i have not seen or heard from them since then. but now ace check cashing has filed a law suite against me because i have not made payment on my loan with them. I paid XX/XX/XXXX and nothing since then. they claim i knowingly committed fraud and thats what they are trying to charge me with. That is called Slander and not for them to determine. They are not in the business of judging some one like that. Over {$700.00} they are going to ruin my current life and future by making a FRAUDULENT claim against me that is SLANDER if pretty sure both of those are illegal. They reported my social security number to the social security administration as fraud. At a time when I am dealing with job loss, while my health takes the turn of needing to be placed on XXXX. iIn XX/XX/XXXXmy lease ended on my apartment. in XX/XX/XXXXI took this Loan with intent of renting an apartment till ( the former partner ) took off with that money. In XX/XX/XXXXi paid XXXX they filed fraud claim against me. By XX/XX/XXXXI already started process of filing for bankruptcy. I had no phone no job no place to live so that give ace check cashing the wright to file claims of fraud on my social security number preventing me from ever being approved of any thing.

I was first contacted by phone number XXXX stating that he needed to know a time that I will be home so that I can be served a lawsuit. I asked what the lawsuit was for and he then told me to call XXXX. I called that number and a person named XXXX XXXX and told me that the creditor ( Ace Cash Express ) was going to press criminal charges on me if I did not pay the debt owed in the amount of {$590.00}. I asked him why would they press charges on a debt that has already been placed on my credit report and why he was threatening me. He then asked if I wanted to take care of the debt over the phone because if it went to court then I was looking at paying up to {$3000.00}. I told him I did not have XXXX that day to give but I could make pay arrangements. He then said mam we are not going to get anywhere I will see you in court and hung up on me. I called the number back and spoke with another guy who said his name was XXXX XXXX and explained my previous conversation with XXXX and asked why would they try to press criminal charges on me? He then said that they will not if I can make a payment or payment arrangement so I set one up. They never said the company they were representing only when XXXX sent me an email with an invoice that looked fake is when I seen the company name was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. After doing further research I am unable to find any info pertaining to this company so I am not sure if they are a legit collection company or not. I never received a letter in the mail with anything regarding an arrangement

Creditor from XXXX XXXX ( rep named XXXX ) contacted me for a second time on XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, I informed her that this account was not mine and someone opened it fraudulently. I asked to please do not contact until validation that I requested is received by me and reviewed. I Contacted creditor back on XXXXXXXX XXXX and they refused to provide their full company name and address to send them appropriate correspondence. The gentleman who did not provide a first name stated that I did not request validation until XX/XX/XXXX which is false. He then Proceeded to hang up the phone. Let me clarify that I Requested validation XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXXXXXX when XXXX contacted me via phone, and she provided a civil complaint file number. That interaction is on recording. I have absolutely no knowledge of opening this account and I reached out to the creditors in XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation. They failed to provide anything other than a statement from Ace Cash. The statements provided also did not have my correct name. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the account was under XXXX XXXX which was my father 's name who also resided in the same address at one point. This account has since then been marked as fraud and removed from my credit report. However, XXXX XXXX continues to contact me and threatened to send someone to my home with lawsuit documents. Contacted XXXX XXXX one final time to get their mailing address and I spoke with XXXX who provided me with their full business name. This interaction is on recording.

On XX/XX/XXXX someone whom said she was calling from ace cash express called my husbands cell phone to ask if he knew me, the number that called him was XXXX ( the number that she gave him for me to call was XXXX ) he said yes and they told him to write down their telephone number and a case # and make sure to give it to me. He called me and gave me the info. I called this number and this woman named XXXX said she was part of the legal dept and she is trying to collect a pass due balance on a loan I had. She wanted me to give her my debit card info so she can set up a payment arrangement. She said my debt was transferred to two different debt collections companies and there is a pending lawsuit against me, so I told her that she needs to send this info in writing to me because if it was transferred to diff companies to collect why haven't I received anything, after all they have my address. I also told her that I was on my states website where you can view court cases if someone is going to sue you it would be listed there, and I told her I don't see any lawsuits so nothing she is saying is making any sense, she then raised her voice to me and said, if I didn't settle my debt with her over the phone someone would keep calling my relatives about this debt and someone will come to my job and put me in handcuffs. I said to her, well if you say I owe this debt, just put it in writing so I will know your are not a scammer she then said police are coming to my job to arrest me in the next few days and hung up

I questioned the who the creditor was she stated it was Ace check cashing stated this was from XXXX ( Mentioned an old employer and bank ) I advised I had no idea what they were referring to I requested documentation to support these claims. The lady stated that they sent me the information via mail and this was my last attempt to rectify the situation I told them I had never received any such information she said its my word against the creditors. I said well id need the information to forward to my attorney. She then stated that she was going to transfer me to the legal department to file a dispute. Another lady got on the phone said she was from arbitration the documentation I was requesting was not available to me they would be placing me in check systems and I would get a notice to appear I would be served at my residence or current employer conversation ended. This is a clear violation of the FDCPA and This company contacted a family member regarding this requesting employment verification. I do not want them contacting family and my employers current or former I dont owe any debt to them and this is over 10yrs old.

I received a notice in the mail onXX/XX/XXXX, sent from ACE Cash Express , Inc on XX/XX/XXXX, claiming I had " cashed the following check ( s ) identified at our place of business. However, upon the checks deposit and presentment, the financial institution refuse to honor payment. Since we have been unable to reach you, we request that you contact us promptly at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to resolve this matter. Failure to resolve this matter may result in additional actions. '' It's then listed check number XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, maker listed as bill pay check multiple makers, for the amount of {$270.00} plus a fee of {$30.00}. Upon calling to inform them that I have never been to their establishment my entire life nor have I received a check in any form in the past 3 years and that there was no way that this could possibly be for me, I was then transferred to XXXX XXXX, the name listed on the notice. She seems confused over the error, and on three different occasions requested that I verify the last 4 digits of my social security number. She also claimed that all of the information including my address and my name were correct but it appeared my social security number might be off. At a different point she requested my full social security number and asked me to verify my middle initial. She then said that she was going to have to work with her manager to figure out what the problem was and would get back to me in 2 to 3 days. Return address on the envelope is XXXX.

Well, Ive never received ANY communication prior from ACE regarding trying to contact me about my debt to them. Then I got a phone call from XXXX with my full name on the voicemail and mentioned that a company was trying to contact me to file a summons and a ticket in XXXX, but I have no tickets in XXXX XXXX and then referred me to XXXX and provided their phone # to contact them for mediation option. I contacted them and confirmed they are a company ACE hired to try and settle outside of court to offer an out of court settlement of {$800.00} dollars but only offered to pay in full or split into XXXX payments which financially is unreasonable for me to do. They mentioned the company would then take me to court for check fraud, but I did not do check fraud. I simple had unexpected expenses come up and was unable to pay the debt back and yes I had to close my bank account because they would keep drafting me which I could not afford to have happen or my rent would not be paid. I would be willing to work a small payment monthly back to take care of this but they wont do that. The XXXX rep also mentioned they can file judgement against me which can affect my car loan I pay monthly on. I can not afford to have issues with that considering my father has signed on my car loan and to my knowledge ive never heard of a company being able to do that for collections. I feel this is harassment considering Ive never got anything in writing prior to this and I do n't feel its right.

On XX/XX/19 the Vice President of Human Resources at work received a phone call stating that if I did not call them back today they would have me served either at home or at work. When I called the company back they didn't not give me the mini miranda disclosure they said that there was a pending case against me that included 3 charges. The lady on the phone said that I can be served and settle in court for a large amount. Or I can try and settle out of court but she didn't know if i would qualify for that. But in order to get my case out of pending trial I needed to make a payment that day. I did set up a payment and set up a reoccurring amount. When I asked if they would send me something stating we had a payment arrangement and my payment schedule they stated that the only communication they would send me would be when I finished paying off the amount and my account was paid in full, and in order to receive that letter I had to call them back and request it otherwise nothing would be sent. I called back on XX/XX/19 to see if there was any way I could set up lower payments because I would not have the funds available on the second withdraw do to my rent payment. They lady I spoke to today said there was nothing she could do to help me and i stated I'm willing to make payments to pay this back but after I pay rent I may not have enough to cover the payment she stated that if they processed the payment and it failed then they would proceed with court procedures.

The company claimed to be from XXXX XXXX and called me from number : XXXX. The person on the phone the ENTIRE social security number over the phone when I told them I did not know what debt they were talking about because I don't owe ACE Cash Express any money. THE SSN was said without even verifying this account! They said they were from XXXX XXXX and would be freezing my access to my Visa, Mastercard, and any other credit cards because they were suing me for the {$990.00} dollars I owe from an outstanding balance from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I said that I have no knowledge of this debt and it's not on my credit report. They continued to tell me that it is considered an " arbitrary loan '' and that's why it won't be on my credit until I go to court. I said how can I even know that I have this debt if I haven't received anything in the mail? I hung up the phone then called back the number to see if it went to a legitimate business. The person it routed me to say the address was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Massachusetts. They continued to tell me that it would be going to court, and I would have my access to my credit cards frozen. I again asked for a debt validation letter, and they refused to give me one until I make a payment arrangement. They told me that the debt collection letters they sent to me counted as debt validation. I never received any letters, so I have no idea what they are talking about or what the original amount is, or IF this is even money that I owe.

On XX/XX/XXXX they called me stating they were going to file a legal case against me. Stated they couldnt provide anything in writing unless it was a payment plan. But I told them that was odd cause by law I have the right to receive something in writing in regards to this case. They said no. They aldo called my ex husband and provided non pertinent information to him and provided a case number and everything. When I called the number an XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX misrepresenting herself and the company she worked for. She was the one trying to get me on a pmt plan however I told her that I wanted something in writing she stated she couldnt and giggled and said she wished me the best of luck with XXXX County. They dont even have my current address and didnt even ask me it. Lack of professionalism and misrepresentation of company. I called again to ask them for a company address then I spoke to an XXXX from the " proceedings legal department ''. He was rude. He raised his voice at me and said he was going to proceed legally if I didnt agree to a payment plan. Told him I wanted something in writing and he said they didnt provide anything that the only thing he was going to send was the legal paperwork. I told them I couldnt agree to anything if I didnt know who they were and he stated he wasnt allowed to provide me with any information. That he understood that I was upset because they called my ex husband but that wasnt his fault because they used a locator.

The company reports that they hired a private investigator to contact me. This PI contacted 3 of my family members at their place of employment. The PI disclosed that I was being sued for debt and demanded that they provide her with personal, identifying information. She called my brother-in-law, a XXXX for a police department, 6 times on his work cell phone. He was obligated to answer as he thought these calls were work related. These calls were inappropriate and interfered with his ability to perform his work duties. These calls also placed him at risk during an already risky occupation. The woman was harassing multiple family members by calling them at least three times while they were at work. She also called my terminally ill parent and scared them. Over 25 calls were made within a three hour window on XX/XX/18. I called the company to file a formal complaint and the first woman hung up on me ; I called back and a gentleman said they can not do that. They would not release the information of this woman ( PI ) and they would not allow me to speak with someone in charge. Additionally, they did not have valid or updated information which was why they were unable to contact me. This company uses fear tactics, harassment, and shame to pressure people into releasing personal information. Their tactics are harmful to people who are already in an unstable situation. Please note that when I was actually contacted and made aware, this debt was paid in full.

I was first contacted by XXXX XXXX with XXXX ( telephone number ( XXXX ) XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX claiming that he was with a firm and that I had been listed as a defendant in a complaint by a client of their office. He said he intended to inform me of my legal rights before the case was filed with the district court and to see if I had any questions regarding the contents of the case or would like to submit a statement in my defense. When I called, however, it was an attempt to collect money and I was told if I paid in full or set up recurring payments then we could settle the matter. I asked for validation of the debt in writing and XXXX XXXX said he would get a letter sent out. I continued to receive calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX and each time I informed him that I had not received a validation and that I would rather not discuss the alleged debt until I had confirmed the legitimacy of this claim. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have yet to receive the validation of debt I had repeatedly requested. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX again today in response to a voicemail he left me prior. I was informed that today was the end of my 30 days, though I was not aware that we had a timeframe, and that my wages would be garnished or I would have 30-90 days to pay depending on the judgement. I searched public records and have contacted the county I had previously resided in and the county I reside in now and both counties confirm that no paperwork has been filed for a case.

This is regarding a {$250.00} payday loan I took out a long time ago from ACE Cash Express back in 2014. Totally forgot about it and this collection agency just recently got aggressive with me. I recently lost my job. Just before I did get fired, I was speaking to XXXX XXXX, a debt collector from an agency called XXXX XXXX and I had an idea/plan to make the arrangement. I also asked them to grant my brother-in-law 's request to stop calling him as he was my listed reference at the time. XXXX said ofcourse and let me know he was removed. We were supposed to talk at the end of the week but unfortunately I lost my job. I felt like the world came crashing down on me. Ever since, they became very aggressive in collecting that debt from 2014 payday loan that I owed. They already spoke to my brother-in-law and a week ago I asked to grant his request to be removed from their system which XXXX XXXX agreed to. However, they called him AGAIN!!! I called XXXX to let her know my situation. XXXX XXXX was very rude. And when I asked what happened to the request of my reference to be removed, she blamed it on their system. I was working in the industry using similar account/info system. It does not take a week to delete a reference on a customer 's account. I know the laws in California and you're only to make contact once and NOT supposed to leave a message. As it turns out, my brother in law and I are no longer in speaking terms. Please educate this agency.

Hi, I was checking my Experian credit report tonight and noticed a collection account as shown as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Account Number : XXXX Original Creditor : ACE CASH EXPRESS Address Identification Number : XXXX Status : Collection account. {$1200.00} past due as of XXXX 2015. Date Opened : XXXX Date of Status : XXXX Reported Since : XXXX Last Reported Date : XXXX Type : Collection Terms : 1 Months Monthly Payment : {$0.00} Responsibility : Individual Credit Limit : {$760.00} High Balance : N/A Recent Balance : {$1200.00} Recent Payment : {$0.00} I would like to claim wisleblower status as I believe that this collection agency and/or collection company is possiblity making up fake collections in order to defraud me and possibly other individuals unknown to me at this time. I state that I do not owe Ace Check Cashing, nor have i ever taken out a payday loan with Ace Check Cashing due to no need for XXXX at this time. The weird thing is the credit limit is XXXX dollars which is above a payday loan and the last time i cashed a check at Ace Check Cashing was months ago for like around XXXX dollars, I have a great record with that company Ace Check Cashing in XXXX, FL. In closing, it seems to be some sort of debt collection companies creating false accounts or something to like bill myself and possibly other XXXX Citizen/Nationals. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I called the court house and clerk was not able to located any case against me nor a investigator XXXX that might of called from there, she didn't understand. He stated he had a affidavit and needs to present a summons before it is presented to court he left a message for me to contact attorney office in New York ( XXXX ) XXXX to resolve and get information. Called a XXXX answered stating he was from XXXX XXXX and that I owed money to Ace Cash Express. Never received any paperwork stating of my debt from the actual company. He told me if I didn't resolve it they would go to my home and employer and I will be prosecuted. I mailed them a Money order for the amount of {$530.00} they wanted more and the settled due to fees and so forth. I mailed it to them because I recalled having a loan out several years ago and maybe thought I didn't take care of the payment. Then I did my calling to Ace Cash Express asking for a receipt that the debt was taken care of and they told me they don't take cases to court for payday loans and the amount I owe is only {$310.00} and they did not receive any payment from me. Till this day they have not received a payment. My account was sent out to several collection agencies I called all of them phone numbers were provided and this office is not one that they work with.

On XX/XX/2021 I received a phone call from a third party locator stating that there was legal action that was going to taken on me. They stated they were looking for me and it was for an old pay day loan of {$290.00} that I didnt pay. They have made phone calls to multiple family members with this information. I called back the number that was given XXXX with the case number XXXX. When I called the representative at this company basically told me that the case was being filed and I needed to pay it today or else I would have to go to court. I have never received any type of legal documentation or have I received a letter from this debt collector. I tried to call back today XX/XX/2021 after contacting ACE CASH EXPRESS in which their representative told me that they have sold my debt but that this collection agency should never threaten me and they dont take legal action against people that dont pay their debt. They gave me a number to call so I can report this collection agency which I did. Anyways so I called the XXXX number and tried to resolve this issue I did mention to her that I connected with ACE and they told me they would never sue me and I asked her why this company would use these tactics on people and scare them into giving them possibly all the money they have for this debt. She didnt say anything and continues to tell me there is nothing she can do for me that my case is now being filed and I can not resolve it.

I applied for a payday cash advance for smaller amount but was told the only fund loan in the amount of {$2500.00}. The representative told me that if I did not want that amount then I could give back a portion to lower my loan amount. I agreed and set up weekly automatic payments for an amount to goto principal. When I got the monthly statement I found it was going to the interest only. The following month I lost my job and asked that they no longer do automatic deduct from my bank account. They agreed and stop the withdrawals. However, each week I would get a call about making a payment. I was honest to say that as soon as I got a new job I would start payments again. The representative said they would note the account but might not stop the calls. I said I was would take the calls and keep them informed of my situation. Then the call stop coming. This week I received a call from a law firm that was trying to serve me because they are filing a civil suit for breach of contract and check bouncing. I told the firm I did not bounce any checks because I never wrote any checks. I also explained that I am looking for work and asked could I set up a payoff for after I get a tax refund in XXXX or XXXX. He was rude and said that they will be suing me so that they can garnish my wages when I do return to work. I do n't believe this is necessary and would be an embarrassment for my future employer to receive that type of paperwork.

I have contacted ACE Cash Express several times at the beginning of the pandemic stating that I had a 100 % loss of income and that no payment arrangements will be made until my employment is back up to a manageable level. They refused to work with me. I sent them an email restating the same thing. I'm doing all I can to feed my son during this time while attempting to rebuild an income. I'm 100 % on unemployment right now. No arrangements will be made until income is restored. They have repeatedly contacted me regarding this debt after I contacted them to stop the harassment. They have showed up to my dead father 's home in the state of Michigan, six years after his death. They have contacted my brother in the state of Michigan after I told them to stop harassing me. They have filed a lawsuit in the state of Texas in XXXX XXXX regarding this. I have contacted the phone number and case number regarding this legal claim and was told I need to deal with Ace Cash Express directly. They were not even able to provide me with a contact and phone number. I have contacted ACE Cash Express AGAIN, at their corporate offices and very explicitly and blatantly told them to stop harassing myself and my family we are in the middle of a pandemic and millions including myself are still unemployed. It is unconscionable that this is happening during this time after they have been repeatedly told the situation and to STOP HARASSMENT.

I received a call from a XXXX number that left a voicemail. The voicemail states that I committed a crime by actively deceiving a financial institution and that a complaint was filed. That if I did not respond it would mean my automatic refusal. I called the number back and a XXXX XXXX answered. He looked up my number, and asked if the information was correct. then he stated he was an arbitration officer and that they were asked to arbitrate an agreement for payment of a debt, and that I had to make payment arrangements today. if I did not then they would file a suit against me. when I asked for written validation he stated that they were not able to do that without me making a payment. He said he could not send anything in writing until he had my credit card information and a payment was arranged. When I asked for further information he repeated the same. he said I was not allowed to contact the original creditor at all. when I requested that he allow me time to validate the debt with the original company and to validate his right to collect such debt he said that they would have my drivers license suspended and have my car registration renewal blocked if I did not get this handled today. He never once identified himself as a debt collector. never once said the call was recorded. never truthfully identified himself. he refused to validate anything in writing. now when I call the number back it goes to a busy signal.

I tried calling back several times to speak with someone in regards to incorrect info and was hung up on each time.

Als o that the needed to serve me papers at my place of employment of a law suit as well for Fraud. the released all this information to my sister who is only a reference. She then contacted me and gave me the firms contact information. So I called and was willing to make a payment arrangement with the firm after being threatened in the same manor, with a law suit and criminal charges and coming to my place of employment. I then told the woman i was speaking with if i could speak to someone else because she was being extremely rude and yelling at me and she said no. She stated that that was my only option was to pay XXXX every 2 w eeks I said I was not able to do that and she said well we are pressing charges on you then and proceeded to hang up on me.

I immediately called the number and spoke with a young man who was very polite and helpful, I told him I would call him back after I had looked as some options and spoken with someone with a little more expertise, I called back after weighing some options and asked to speak to the previous young man but was sent instead to his manager XXXX XXXX, at first he seemed nice enough to conversarte with, but when I asked for more time to understand what was happening, he became belligerent and condescending, I was trying to explain to him that I had not received any written documentation of what I was being charged for, but speaking with him became very difficult because of his constant interruptions and continued escalations, I requested to speak to a manager at which point he stated that he was as far as I could because his boss didnt deal with someone like me, Essentially being condescending, he then hung up but not before stating that hed see me in court. I called back immediately and asked to speak to anyone but him, I was then transferred back to the original person I had spoken to and was able to resolve the account in a Better way

I received a phone call on XX/XX/2020 from XXXX at XXXX saying they were the lead officer and we're sending out officers to arrest me due to defaulting on my loan and committing fraud. I said I had no idea what they were talking about. They then said to call their legal department and gave me this number : XXXX. I called that number and they picked up on first ring and just said hello, how can I help you. I then proceeded to ask for the legal department and they said they were it and asked for a case number. I gave them the case number that the previous caller provided me with. I told them I had absolutely no idea what this was about. They told me they were just about to submit my case to XXXX County courts for frauding an FDIC institute. I told them I didn't take a loan out. They said it didn't matter if it was me or not because unfortunately all my information was submitted for a loan. They then told me I only had 2 options. Either go to court, or set up a payment plan with them today. I told them I had no money and there was no proof that I took out this loan. They repeated the options again. I was terrified and gave them my card information. They then said I would have to make 7 payments of {$140.00}. the said if I missed one payment, I would go to court. They said because I set up a payment plan today, they temporarily froze all legal action. They said it was for Ace Cash Loan Express.

On XXXX XXXX i went in person to ACE CASH EXPRESS located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ca, XXXX. I inquired what i need to take a loan out with them sense I've previously taken one out on 2017. The representative said i only need my most recent pay stub and a proper verification of checking account. Which i provided, and never did i sign a application. After all updates were complete the representative told me i qualify for XXXX, and at this point i still haven't signed anything. Then immediately received a email thru XXXX XXXX, that i have a new hard inquiry. I asked the representative if she ran my credit. Witch she confirmed she did. I never gave her a written nor verbal consent, to run my credit. She never asked verbally nor in written if she could run my credit. I called their customer care line, and spoke to one of the supervisor. She explained that they don't need to consent for running my credit, and that its part of there companys policies not to ask the borrower for a consent to running their credit. The only thing i signed stating that its ok for ACE CASH EXPRESS to report to the credit bureaus was the actual lending agreement, but the agreement was giving to me after they ran my credit. I decided to take the loan out sense the damage has been done. I don't feel its right for them to run my credit with no consent. They should start asking customers before doing so!

I recieved a threating voicemail around XX/XX/XXXX and when they called back XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I managed to answer the call the claimed they were calling from Ace Cash Express and have orders to find and detain me unless I proceed to arrange payment on a loan I took out In XXXX. They said they can stop allegations towards me if I pay the about of XXXX $ or They can take me to court and they would ask for XXXX plus and I got so scared i would get arrested and lose my job so I made the first initial payment and made 5 other payments, in total I payed them XXXX . Yesterday they called me harassing me again because my card didnt go throught because its overdrafted since I lost my job I dont have way to pay for that. They threatened to located me at my job and find me at my address and i called them back and they would not pick up. I called my local government office to see if there is any claim against me and they had no records of anything online, I also called ace and they didnt have my loan come up since it was from a while back or the representative was rude and lazy and didnt want to look the information up. Either ace hired someone to collect for them or a scammer scammed me for XXXX . They wouldnt give me an official address for their office, which makes it a scam to me, their name on my bank statements is XXXX XXXX. I have since blocked my card and reported them to my bank.

I borrowed money from ACE Cash Express several times. I lost my job after I took out my last loan. I informed them and made a small payment towards my loan and explained my situation. The representative set me up for a payment plan being on the date of my last check with my previous employer. The representative helping me told me with my payment it would bring me down to a lower even amount. After payment was made I called to make another small payment as I explained to the previous representative I wanted to make good with that company and pay them off but my employment situation was stopping me and once I got a new job I would make bigger payments. When I asked my balance it was even higher. I explained my situation to the representative and she told me it was an installment loan and grew interest daily I told her that he previous representative had told me I would n't get anymore interest and I would have to just pay off my balance. She said I would get interest til the end of XXXX which makes my balance a lot higher and causes lots of financial stress on me and my family being that I 'm unemployed. I thought I was doing the right thing when in fact I should have never gave a payment so I would stop accuring interest a lot sooner. I was not valued as a customer to this company obviously I would never recommend their services to anyone. They did not attempt to help me in any way.

In a moment of desperation I came across Ace Cash Express online and applied for an installment loan. i was happy to be approved as my credit is not great. i then realized what kind of interest and penalties this company was charging and i was appalled! I then qualified for a consolidation loan with my local credit union. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had other loans to consolidate and when i approached these other institutions for a 10 day payoff they were compliant and helpful. When i attempted to receive my XXXX payoff from Ace Cash Express they were extremely difficult to work with. instead of an official statement with payoff and accounting they would only send me very vague hand written emails. this was unacceptable to my credit union and has delayed my ability to pay them off. and everyday the loan is accruing interest. i need all the loans paid off in XXXX shot with this consolidation loan, and Ace is stonewalling me from getting the proper documents. i called over a dozen times, spoke to numerous supervisors, and emailed them at the headquarters. i was still never able to receive a statement of accounting or an official 10 day payoff. i began to research this company and found tons of information about extortion and fraud they committed. Multiple fines from the California XXXX, and there is even a {$10.00} XXXX settlement with your Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection

I continue to receive calls for a payday loan ( Ace Cash Express ) I took out in Texas but had since received a letter from them years ago stating that they had discharged the debt. When offering to send them a copy and asking for their address or email they will not provide and start cursing me and threatening legal action. The do not cease to call me eventhough I requested they send everything to me in writing in which they have not for months now. They just keep calling and harrassing me and not giving me any recourse to present evidence of debt not owed and no proof presented to me that the debt is still owed, which it isn't because I believe they went out of business in Texas or got sued for practices or something but the letter was sent to me while I was in Texas of the debt being discharged. I'm sick of the calls, the harassment and the rudeness! It starts off as a robo call press # XXXX to be connected then it connects and then they give you your dob and name and verify it's you then when you say i've received multiple calls and have tried to get an address to send proof they start cursing and telling you that " you seem very angry '' and berating you and telling you that they don't need to give you an email or address that they are going to file a civil judgement against you and threatening you. But they give no means to send proof of debt not owed. It's harrassment!

Even though I dont know who this gentleman is. I've called the Ace Cash people and they dont have any knowledge of it. I'm not sure what to do.

Family and friends were contacted multiple times by a woman named XXXX XXXX in attempts to collect an unpaid debt. I was notified by a cousin, family friend, great aunt, as well as my mother to call them to resolve the issue. XXXX XXXX used a threatening tone towards all individuals she contacted. She states that she would that I would be located in person, she went as far as to provide car license plate number. She threatened to contact an employer and speak to a supervisor. She also insisted that she would call and contact everyone until I was located. I resolved the issue XX/XX/19 via phone. I paid XXXX {$200.00} as well as set up a payment plan for the remaining balance. XX/XX/19 I verbally told the company to stop harrassing family and friends. I provided an E-mail and let XXXX XXXX know that I can be reached there and to cease all other forms of communication. They said since I made a payment and set up a payment plan the calls would stop. I went a step further and also requested an address for the company to send a formal cease and desist letter to stop the harrassing phone calls. XXXX never provided me with an address. XX/XX/19 family members are still recieveing voicemails from Ms. XXXX XXXX. She is stating that she will call until I am located, however I already resolved the issue. At this point my family and friends are being harrassed by this debt collector.

i was contacted from XXXX who left a message stating that they were a process server which would attempt XXXX last time to serve me at my residence ( which I no longer live at ) and also at my place of employment and that if I was unable to be served would report to my county court. If I had any questions to call the debtor at XXXX and give the ref #. I called and was transferred to several people before I got to XXXX XXXX whose direct phone number is XXXX and offered me a settlement amount of {$450.00} as a onetime payment by the end of the month on a balance of {$610.00} or he could divide the payment into XXXX equal payments for a total of {$610.00}. I asked XXXX how did I know that once the money was paid they would not proceed since It was already supposed to be turned over to the county. He claimed that he checked a national database where there had been no filing to the county court to place a judgement and that as long as payment info ( debit, credi card or prepaid credit card ) was placed on file he could stop legal proceedings and the entire {$450.00} had to be paid by XXXX/XXXX/15. I advised XXXX I would not make any settlement without being provided with something in writing. so I was emailed a letter stating that the balance due was {$1200.00} with a settlement offer of {$450.00}. Not the initial {$610.00} that he stated multiple times over the phone.

On XX/XX/2023, I applied for a {$2000.00} installment loan with Ace Express and was denied the loan for this amount, but I was pre-approved for {$1300.00}. Upon the representative verifying my banking information, job payroll, and credit score of XXXX, she informed me that the system in fact changed and declined the {$1300.00} loan and that I would receive a Notice of Adverse Action detailing the decision of the denial. Shortly after, I did in fact receive the Notice of Adverse Action, and it stated that I was still pre-approved for a {$1300.00} loan. Upon calling ACE to get clarification, I was told that I should apply again in order for the pre-approval to become active again. I stated that the notice was mis-leading because I was provided with another pre-approval within the denial letter. I also asked if this would affect my credit score and the representative stated that they would have to re-pull my credit even though I was provided another pre-approval. Needless to say, I am completely confused and I was not provided any direction from ACE as to how this can be rectified. My credit score reduced several points due to this action and I am not pleased about this at all. ACE also never provided a clear explanation as to why I am denied and pre-approved at the same time. I was only told that it is system derived and they apologize for any confusion.

I got a voicemail from a debt collector on Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX stating that they have been trying to reach out to me and at this point they are going to process court paperwork against me for misdemeanor criminal charges and told me to call back the attorneys office or they would send someone out to my work to serve me. I called them back immediately, worried and confused about what was going on and they pushed me to sign paperwork on the spot stating that I would pay {$150.00} on Friday XX/XX/XXXX, {$450.00} on Friday XXXX and another {$600.00} on Friday XX/XX/XXXX. They said that would be a {$1200.00} settlement to get me out of the charges against me. I discovered it was a scam the same day and the next day on Thursday XX/XX/XXXX I went to my bank and closed my account so they wouldnt garnish my wages. Since then, I have received 8 very threatening voicemails from them stating all sorts of things like I have a bench warrant out for my arrest, that I used a stolen card to purchase my new vehicle, they even called my mother and tried to get her to tell them where I work, then threatened to send them out to her house tomorrow and called me the embarrassment of the neighborhood. The last voicemail I received was today, XXXX at XXXX talking about them sending people to my mother home tomorrow and demanded I must be present with 2 forms of ID.

I immediately became suspicious but asked for the validity of the debt. Although he gave me some information pertaining to the debt, I was still unsure ... I then called the actual company ACE cash, and was advised that although ACE does use their services, they do not condone the threat or go after default debtors in that manner. I asked for a phone number for this company from ACE, and were given ( XXXX ) XXXX. I was told by the representative at ACE to call that number, and ask for XXXX. Upon calling, I immediately got " XXXX '' again. This was suspicious to me, but I then told him I need to check some things out and I would call him back.. I was advised by ACE that they just sold the account to the collection company approximately 30 days ago. I have never received any kind of written notification from any collection agency. Thank you

I wrote a check to someone to haul off some brush. I did not personally know this person, found him through an online service. I wrote the check on XX/XX/21 and it cleared my bank on XX/XX/21. That person deposited the check electronically in his credit union, XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, he took the paper check to Ace Cash Express and cashed it again. My credit union rejected the second attempt to cash the check. Ace Cash Express sent me a letter on XX/XX/21 and is now holding me responsible for the fraud committed by the person who cashed the check twice. They have flagged my checking account through their check cashing processor and said that I have committed fraud and have to pay the amount of the check plus fees to remove the flag from my account. I have proof that the check cleared my account on XX/XX/21. Ace Cash Express says ... .too bad ... pay it or youre screwed until you do! The person I wrote the check to did not indicate on the back of the check that it was deposited electronically and yet his credit union accepted it and sent it on to my credit union, he then cashed the paper check at Ace Cash Express. If Ace Cash Express wants to recoup their money, they should be harassing the credit unions involved. I am the only innocent bystander in this scenario and Im the one with my life being screwed up! Help!

Someone claiming to be with " XXXX XXXX '' called my work number asking for " the protocol when locating an employee. '' When I told the caller I was that person, he would only say he is asking about protocol when locating an employee and gave me the number XXXX to call, along with a " reference number. '' When I called the number, some fast-talking woman used every possible word in the English language to make it sound like she was filing a court case ( like investigators and warrant officers ) but would never commit to anything certain. Told me the amount due was over {$1400.00} if she " took this case to court '' but only {$450.00} if paid immediately via a " bond instrument ''. I offered to mail a cashier 's check but was told they only accept " bond instruments. '' Finally, after much more threatening-type nonsense/double-speak from her, she said she can not give out her address due to " her employee 's safety '' and a " bond instrument '' is actually a VISA or MasterCard in her definition. So, she'd rather have a credit card payment ( that can be disputed or recalled ) as opposed to a certified-funds cashier 's check? How can people like this get away with this type " collection activity? '' Such a waste of time. She even said I was " interrupting her '' even though I sat silently and listened to this spiel.

On XX/XX/XXXX my brother contacted me to tell them someone called them looking for me and threatened them that they would come to his house to verify that I did not, in fact, live there. They gave the phone number XXXX with a case number of XXXX. I contacted this number and they did not identify specifically what company they were with. They said they were collection on behalf of Ace Cash Express on a loan taken out sometime in XXXX or XXXX. Repeatedly they refused to provide me with any kind of detailed information. They said the original loan is {$570.00} and they would charge me court cost of {$1900.00} and charge me with fraud. I asked the lady to please provide me with the proof of debt as required by law. She kept claiming that they don't have to provide me with any kind of proof. I am not aware of this debt and have no recollection of it. She refused to provide any documentation and simply stated that I had that when I got the loan. She transferred me then to her " supervisor '' who told me the exact thing and refused to send me anything in writing showing what I owe or the dates or amount of anything. She ultimately hung up on me and said good luck in court. I also advised them to stop contacting my family members and they said it is out of their hands they had a " state agency '' that handles that.

Approximately two weeks ago I mailed a personal check for {$700.00} to my daughter who lives in XXXX, Texas, for her birthday. I live in XXXX XXXX, Texas. Later, my daughter informed me that my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), did not have any branches in XXXX and that she was forced to cash the check at an Ace Cash Express. A couple of days later, while checking my online banking portal, I found that the check had been paid twice out of my account. I notified my bank and they reversed one of the charges. However on XX/XX/2021, at approximately XXXX XXXX, I received a call from a representative of Ace Cash Express ( ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) demanding that I pay them {$700.00} because they had paid the check twice. When I informed the representative that I had no control over how they have managed their affairs, the person insisted that I was responsible and demanded that I pay Ace Cash Express {$700.00} and began threatening me with repercussions relative to my credit standing. I spoke with an XXXX representative who suggested that I am not responsible or liable because I never used any Ace Cash Express services. Now, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), as a representative of the Ace Cash Express debt collection department, has mailed me a demand for payment of {$730.00} when I do not owe them any money.

A title loan was taken out on my vehicle without my knowledge or consent. There are two names on the title - mine and another individual - and the loan application was processed and approved without my permission. ACE Cash Express wrongfully and illegally acquired possession of my automobile title and all attempts by myself to resolve the issue are met with deliberate indifference or feigned ignorance by all representatives of this corporation. They all agree that the title loan process should never have taken place without my knowledge or consent ; however, they all claim that they do not know the company policy concerning how to proceed when situations like this arise. All attempts to speak with supervisors at the corporate office have failed. I never receive a response or call-back. In sum ... ..Populus Financial Group ( formerly ACE Cash Express , LLC ) employees and representatives all agree and admit that they have wrongfully acquired possession of my car title, but none of them have offered or provided an answer or solution to returning my title, claiming that they can not provide me with any answers because " my name is not on the loan paperwork. '' This is a blatantly obvious fraudulent and deceptive trade practice violation and this company needs to return my title IMMEDIATELY.

On several occasions, I applied for payday loans to help myself out of temporary financial downfalls that I had experienced for several years. I paid off each payday loan, but these payday loan companies applied high fees, service charges and interest charges that they did not make me aware of in the first place. I think it was so they could just make the sale of the loan to me without informing me of the stipulations of those loans. This seems to be common practice among these unethical companies. In the end, with all of the payday loans I had applied for and paid off, I was scammed out of over {$800.00} in fees, service charges and interest charges that I should not have been responsible for because of their unethical business practices. Also, I think it would only be fair for me to receive additional money damages due to the harassment I received from each payday loan company and the subsequent XXXX I had experienced since they harassed myself and my family, threatened to put me in jail, cease my property and investments and garnish my wages. This additional amount can be to your discretion, but I feel that I should be entitled to at least {$20000.00} from all of the fear, intimidation and XXXX I had experienced. XXXX XXXX run in my family and this has all taken its toll on me.

Both my husband and i went to ace express, inc. # XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ohio XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on tues XXXX XXXX to make an interset payment on our payday loan. we were informed that the interst payment had doubled. I paid my {$21.00} and was told that my interest payment went from {$21.00} to {$33.00}, my husband was told that his would be doubled from {$50.00} to and extra {$50.00} to make his interest payment {$100.00} a month. If we already have a payday loan and paying on it how can they raise the interest payment higher untell we pay it off. We can understand if we paid the loan off and reloaned. next month my loan will be paid off but there is no way im paying the extra {$33.00} with the {$100.00} i borrowed. It should be only {$120.00} not the {$130.00}. My husband will be paying an extra {$100.00} on his loan before he pays it off in full. With this comp when you get a payday loan you pay 4 interset payments before you pay the loan off that is how it has been for the past 2 or 3 yrs. If they are raising the interest payments they should wait till we pay our loan off and ask us if we are reloaning, if we are reloaning then they can inform us that the interset payment will double, if i had knowen it on the 3rd i would have paid mine off in full the {$120.00}.

I am getting threatening calls from someone who claims to be associated to Ace Cash Express. They left me a voicemail from a blocked caller ID stating that they would be coming out to my home or place of business between XXXX and XXXX the following day and that they needed to leave me the voicemail for their safety. At that time, they did n't tell me who they were, they only left a phone number. The recording requested that my Supervisor be present. They left a phone number to contact XXXX. When I contact the phone number they implied that I would be facing charges for theft of services and check fraud. I was scared to death. However, I knew this is not legal practice in the state of Texas. I was also reading online that there is a scammer out there claiming to be associated to Ace Cash Express that is attempting to trick people into believing they are the debt collector and people give them money to prevent the harassment, only to find out the debt with the original debtor was never paid. I am concerned about this and I am pretty sure this is n't the end of their contact. I am concerned that the threats may become more aggressive or that they may actually show up on my doorstep as they have threatened and that would be terrifying. I just wanted to make others aware of these practices.

I have received several calls and voicemails from Ace Cash. Today at XXXX XXXX I answered the phone from XXXX. The person simply asked for my name. I confirmed I was who she intended to call and she simply stated that I owed some debt without futher description of why of over {$1000.00} and asked how I would pay and to provide my credit card information over the phone. No further information was provided. I informed her that was not the case, that I thought this was a scam and hung up. I XXXX this Ace Cash and read that this is a frequent scam. I called the number back and was asked for a Case Number or to promptly provide my social security number. I informed the person who answered the phone that I am an attorney well versed in how debts should be collected ( I am in-house counsel for a bank ) and that I wanted more information to file a CFPB claim against Ace Cash and was promptly placed on hold and the line never picked up and a series of pre-recorded prompts read about call volume. Interesting, given there was zero time to pick up the call to speak with me initially. I have never taken out a loan with Ace Cash nor do I owe any debt to Ace Cash and this is clearly a scam. I appreciate your prompt attention to shutdown this scam. I get at least 2-3 calls per week from this entity.

I am writing again about Ace Cash Express debt collection tactics. I was contacted today, XX/XX/XXXX by a woman calling from XXXX saying that she was calling about a court case and that I needed to call XXXX case # XXXX or officers would be at either my home or job by the end of today. I didn't call the number because it seemed to be a scam. I then got a call from my mother and she said she got a call from someone saying that I was being sued and will be arrested if I didn't call the same phone number. My mother was very scared and upset. I called the number back only to find out that it was someone calling about a XXXX loan that I got from them in XXXX. She said the with interest and fees the amount owed was XXXX. She then said that because they are having to sue and file fraud charges against me that I will now owe over XXXX I told her that they couldn't do that, and that I would not be paying it. She then kept repeating the threats of court and arrest until she ended up hanging up on me as I told her that what she was doing was illegal. I have now gotten a call from my ex-husband who lives in Tennessee saying that he received a voicemail message on his cell phone saying that there was a court case against me and for him to tell me to call them. We have been divorced since XXXX!

I am not sure but I keep receiving emails after I filed bankruptcy. I gave them my lawyers information and my lawyer even attempted to contact them. They stop the emails for a few weeks then they start right up again. Here is a copy : Case File No : ACE XXXX Balance Amount : {$970.00} Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Case File Transferred to ACE : - XX/XX/XXXX 2017 Subject : Notice of Legal Proceedings against fraud activity. Dear Customer, Having checked your Social Security Number through our National Checking Database System, and finding out that you have been never charged for a fraud activity, XXXX has decided to give you a chance to take care of this issue outside of the Court without you having a report on your Credit History and SSN. In order to avoid a lawsuit of {$2800.00} against you, we request you to kindly pay the Court Restitution Amount which is {$970.00} If you settle this matter today, you may be entitled to get some percentage of deduction on the restitution amount. You will have to send us a promissory note in order to hold your case file from being sent to the court house. On a case to case basis, you may be given the solution to pay 50-55 % of the pending amount in the same month & a 30 days extension to settle the rest of the settlement amount as mutually agreed.

I was contacted this morning by someone named XXXX XXXX at a company he called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told to call another number, XXXX. A women from that number told me that they had a case in my name which originated with Ace Cash Express but said although Ace had already written off the debt, there is a third party lender that is pressing charges and that the States Attorney Office had already signed off on the case. I contacted the States Attorney and was informed that they had no such information or case under my name and info and she also said that this type of situation has happened before and that this is a scam. She also informed me that they could n't put me in jail for a debt but that they could sue me. Since this debt is over 6 years old and I have moved at least XXXX4 times since then, also phone numbers have changed, I 'm confused as to how they obtained my current information. This scares me, not because of an old unpaid debt, but rather how my info can be so easily obtained. I also do not appreciate being told that if I do n't respond within an hour, they will come and arrest me even asking if I have any large animals. All phone numbers involved this morning were, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I 've done a reverse lookup on all phone numbers with no results for any of them.

I have not been made in contact with ACE cash express, no collection letters, or nothing being reported on my credit history.

I had a payday loan in XX/XX/2017. I was going through a divorce and many things happened. I exended the repayment daye but it got larger and larger and I could not pay it back. I was waiting for a collections to come through on the account but It never did. I was waiting to see if I could set up arrangements to pay after it wet to collections so I didnt have to pay upfront. I had not heard anything and to be honest forgot about it especially with everything going on, I have been contact by XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX phone # XXXX with threats of lawsuit and constable intervention. He wanted me to pay {$250.00} today and make three payments of {$410.00} to settle the account but has provided no documentation or conrete information regarding the settlement of the account and I do not feel comfortable paying him without this information. I want to settle account and also protect myself. The non-payment was unintentional and a mistake. I am willing to set up a payment plan but one that does not heavily affect my livilihood as a single parent. Please advise. I have no documents from ACE Cash Express or from XXXX XXXX XXXX that state the debt or ways to respolve. I have only received calls with threats and unrealistic accomodations to resolve the account.

Messages were left on my unlisted home telephone and on my cell phone number. The message also indicated that my place of employment would be contacted and that I would be served with a subpoena in my local county ref : Case number XXXX. Upon receipt of the message I returned the call that was listed in the call log rather than the number indicated in the message ( ) and spoke with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX proceeded to lecture me with regard to what he felt that I had done which rendered this cause of action. He refused to provide me with a physical address to respond to the complaint and indicated that I should visit the online website and make a payment on a payday loan from 2006. He transferred the call to XXXX XXXX who indicated that she knew my place of employment and did so by naming the place of business where I am currently working. She also indicated that she would neither provide me a physical address nor an email and would instead indicate my refusal to comply with the company 's request for payments. I do not owe any money to the creditor nor do I deserve to be harassed by them at my place of employment. I am on the Do Not Call Register and the company should not have access to my private/unlisted home telephone number.

A man called my wife in the morning from " XXXX '' XXXX. He basically disclosed to her that they were suing me for a debt that i have with ace cash express. I called this number to speak with them personally. The man never gave me his name and he never mentioned what " XXXX '' stands for. He started of by telling me he was an attorney of some kind and they were taking legal action against me for a fraud i commited. When i asked him to send me a letter to validate my debt he got angry and started to threaten me with a lawsuit and then started yelling at me telling me " a real man should pay his XXXX debts '' and for me to " pay my XXXX debts '' and hung up on me. I called ace cash express to confirm the debt that i owe to them and i do, but when i told them the story they stated that those are bad collection attempts and ace would never sue me for a debt. So i called XXXX again and i asked for the guys name and what the company abbreviation was and he never told me his name nor the actual name of the company.

I asked him for his name 6 six times and he again began to raise his voice and told me I would n't let him speak, if I could be quiet for two seconds so he can give me his name.

On, Monday, XX/XX/2021 at XXXX EST, I physically went into ACE Cash Express Check Cashing to apply for a Short Term Payday Loan. I qualified for a {$1000.00} Loan but I chose only to borrow a {$100.00} Loan. When the Cashier XXXX or XXXX processed my loan ; she used her mobile cell phone to take pictures of my personal financial records. I was shocked by this because she didn't use her company 's official copy machine. And it's illegal for an employee to take mobile pictures of a customers/borrowers personal financial information with their personal mobile cell phone. After I left the establishment ; immediately after on Mon., XX/XX/2021 at XXXX EST, I called XXXX who is the manger of ACE Express Check Cashing to inform of what happened. He said he was going to follow up but he never did. I'm very concerned about my personal financial documents and information being photographed by ACE Cash Express Cashier and how this employee can use my information. ACE Cash Express may be doing this to other Customers as well ; being that they allow their employees to take customers personal financial information with out consent by using their personal mobile cell phones. Especially in lieu to fraud and identity theft.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from an unknown number which left me a voicemail to call XXXX if not they were going to submit to the court for a lawsuit and arrest me. I took this loan out in XX/XX/XXXX I believe but they said am being charged with fraud and other things I couldnt get the name of the company but they said their on behalf of XXXX XXXX. They were going to call my employer to look for me. I have not received any other calls from XXXX ever! The loan was for XXXX and now I have to pay XXXX. I spoke to them and they gave me a wrong birthday year and had an old address. I had to make payment arrangements because I can not afford to go to jail. I have 4 kids to care for and am the bread winner. I panicked when I head the voicemail and called them. They said to give them my social and a debit card for them to put on file. I dont know if its fraud be they proposed for me to pay XX/XX/XXXX the amount of XXXX and then on XX/XX/XXXX or so give XXXX. I really dont know what to do. After we had the agreement I started to think its a fraud. My uncle told me to file a complaint with cfpb. Am scared that I cancelled my card because a lot of things seemed wrong this loan isnt even on my credit report.

I received a call from a company claiming to be called XXXX XXXX from phone number XXXX. The call came in around XXXX. They called my spouse then my cell phone. When I answered they immediately asked how I was related to my spouse. I said who is this? He said he was with a company investigating a case of fraud and theft. I said from who? He said the state of Oregon. They said it was for theft of goods and services. I said who do you represent and then he finally said a payday loan company Ace Cash Express. I said oh ok well I need to let you know that I am in OR and you are calling way too early. He said he was not bound by any collection laws such as FDCPA. I told him I need to advise you I have an attorney that is hired to file bankruptcy and you need to contact him as Ace is named in our bankruptcy. He said it isn't filed yet. I told him that is all I have to tell you please contact my atty. He said well I am going to come to your house and you will be served any licenses you have will be terminated. So I hung up. He immediately called back with a blocked number and said they were on the way to our house and the he contacted the atty and he will not back me with this. I hung up again.

In XXXX of this year I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ohio and borrowed {$1000.00}. It was a payday loan to be paid back in four installments for four months from monthly social security checks. The first payment due was approximately {$370.00} but I paid {$600.00}. After the payment was made I was given a receipt that said I owed {$770.00} as a new amount financed and {$290.00} as a fee amount for a total of {$1000.00}. I had intentions of paying this off in two months. They are now telling me if I pay the finance fee only, I will keep getting the same finance fee. To end this they are telling me I have to pay the {$1000.00} with my social security check in XXXX. How is it legal for them to charge me {$75.00} more than what I borrowed after I have paid them {$600.00}. I have called the office and the corporate office only to be told the same payoff information from everyone I have spoken with. My last contact 's name is XXXX and his phone number is XXXX. He said he received his information from the corporate office. I have tried getting all my paperwork but I keep getting told different places to contact for it and when I do they say it is not their department.

I was on the phone with an Ace Loan Person as they were walking me through the signing process on XX/XX/2020. The contract says XX/XX/2020 which is wrong. I am going through my Documents sent back to me on XX/XX/2020 and they arent matching what I was told or signed off on originally. It doesnt say the APR exactly on the Credit Disclosure Statement it just Annual Percentage Rate Example : 568.39 % the CSO fee XXXX and the interest of {$18.00} for example. I went to compare my documents and it has for example : 469.10 % cso fee {$1300.00} interest of {$20.00} you get to the MP on the documents and it says XXXX is the actual percentage rate and the their numbers for example arent adding up and are very misleading if they are just for example. In the first forms they arent giving you the real on their loans. Its for example and you are being mislead by what you really will be paying. I even asked the guy who I talked to on the phone my monthly payments and asked questions and he was misleading. He never mentioned the APR exactly. He never explained the ridiculous fees. They need to be upfront exactly about what youll be paying and better people over their phone line with explanation.

My childrens father lost their job over the summer and I told the agent this information when going to do the loan. I told him that I just need enough to pay my electric bill and feed my kids. They insisted I take the whole loan of XXXX even I expressed concerns of being able to pay it in a timely fashion. So when it first went to collections I was suppose to set up a payment plan of XXXX every two weeks to get it paid. I never received a conformation email so they never took their money and when I contact the actual establishment they sent me on a run around. So I waited for the phone call that it was in collections. XXXX XXXX called. His number ( XXXX ) XXXX Ext XXXX. He was very abrasive and rude. I was trying to understand why it was XXXX and why they would need to garnish my check if Im willing to pay. He told me I was irresponsible and this was also a bill that needed to be paid and I was telling him that the only reason it wasnt was due to my boyfriend loosing his job. He interrupted that conversation and basically forced me into a payment plan that is unreasonable for a mom to pay on top of bills. I want to settle the debt but they are no giving me a fair chance to do so.

I was in a bad place just starting job and needed money but due to bad credit I was able to get a XXXX dollar loan from Ace Cash. I was able to pay in full the first time but it left me short of rent, which meant I took out second loan at same amount to pay rent. I was unable to pay due to unexpected medical expenses and being a single father paying child support on one child and supporting the other as well as paying bills by myself it has left me in a tough position to pay back. Ace Cash started calling and I tried to find a way to pay them back incrementally without leaving me and my children homeless just to pay them back on a XXXX dollar loan. They started calling me on my work phone threatening to contact my supervisor and apprise him of situation, which has nothing to do with my supervisor. I tried explaining what amounts I can work with and they refused to make an acceptable amount and they were making me commit to a XXXX dollars every 2 weeks for the next 18 months. So now from XXXX they have gone to XXXX, I have tried a few times to have them if I don't have it to give at this time what am I supposed to do. I can do incremental payments of XXXX but not every check.

I received a call this morning from a group that identified themselves as a courier service that wanted to make sure that someone would be available at my home to receive legal documents. When I asked what legal documents the person was referring to they let me know that they would have to transfer me to XXXX XXXX who had more information on the situation. XXXX, the representative for XXXX XXXX let me know that Ace Cash Express was seeking a civil suit against me for a remainder owed on a payday loan from XXXX of 2015. When I just spoke with XXXX she let me know that her company was not a debt collection company and that was why she failed to let me know that her call was an attempt to collect a debt. It was my understanding from our conversation that she was representing XXXX XXXX in a civil suit being levied against my by Ace Cash Express. However, Instead of providing me with just that detail XXXX told me that I could resolve the Civil Suit by taking care of the remaining balance due with a credit or debit card over the phone with her. I gave my information to avoid any further possibility of a civil issue and XXXX told me that the suit would be cleared immediately.

The debt was purchased and sold by multiple debt collection companies. I called the original creditor whom I owed the debt to originally and they gave me a number. They no longer hold the debt. I called and the number gave me a number because they no longer had the debt. I called 3 different numbers.This company recently aquired the debt. I have intentions to pay the debt but this is the first time I 've learned who I owe the debt to since the original loan was made. I received no calls or mail regarding the debt from 2014 until now. In 2 years I assumed it was discharged or written off by now. No it 's not on my credit report either. Anyway I verified who I was when they called and I asked for them to mail me a copy. That was 2 weeks ago. I got a call today demanding payment. I said without that paper I was n't paying and giving out payment over the phone. They emailed the copy. I said no good. I want it postmarked. I do n't want to be victim of scam or fraud. They call me multiple times demanding money and threatened court and jail. After I got off the phone a fake person called and pretended to be an investigator demanding I pay in 24hrs before law arrest me at home.

XXXX XXXX XXXX has called me and members of my family claiming I owe {$2400.00} on a loan that I've never taken out. I told the representative that I have never taken out this loan. She told me that it doesn't matter. I still owe this money. I asked her to please give this information to me in writing and she would not. I asked her why the company that I supposedly owe this money to has never reached out to me and she said they would not ever contact me. I asked her to give me the companies contact information and she would not. She said this was for Ace Cash Express for a loan of {$2400.00} in XX/XX/2018. I double checked my credit report and I do not see any sort of loan for this company. I checked my bank transactions and do not see any sort of deposit into my account from this company for this amount. They are harassing my family and me. They refuse to provide me with adequate information about this supposed debt. I looked up the phone number for this person who called me and came up with nothing. I had to have her repeat what company she supposedly works for. She would not give me her full name. Her phone number is XXXX. It appears to be a number from Georgia.

I had a payday load with ACE Cash Express in XX/XX/XXXX. It appeared to come out of my back account on XX/XX/XXXX, but was apparently rejected. When I called the company to confirm they had been paid in full, they looked up my account and confirmed it to be paid in full. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from a man named XXXX XXXX stating that he was a process server and that I needed to call XXXX immediately to stop a court filing that was going to happen XX/XX/XXXX. When I called the number, no one answered. I got a call back from XXXX with a person names XXXX who stated she was a mediator and that ACE had turned over the item to them to collect and they would be filing criminal and civil charges, having someone notify my employer, take my car and my house, and suspend my drivers license until I paid them in full. They said my original debt was {$1600.00}, but that I owed them {$2800.00} including collection fees and attorney costs. I did go back and look through bank records and do apparently owe the {$1600.00}, which I immediately made arrangements to pay. However, I did not agree to pay collection fees and did not appreciate being threatened with arrest.

I obtained a payday loan in XXXX. I honestly forgot about the loan. I explained to them after no longer having income that I could not pay the loan. I closed the account it was coming from not to do anything fraudulent. I closed it because they kept trying to draw out an account that had no funding. It was so long ago, I honestly forgot about the loan. I received a call today at my job in XXXX saying that they are going to send papers to sue me tomorrow to my address if I do not pay over {$460.00} or so. I can not pay that out of the blue. The amount I borrowed was {$110.00}. The loan account # is XXXX and is in collections. There is a man calling me from XXXX XXXX XXXX by the name of XXXX XXXX. He has the last four of my social security number. He told me they will see me in court and the paper work will be delivered tomorrow. I explained to him I could not make that type of payment out of the blue. I reviewed my emails from years ago, and I took this loan out in XXXX. I can pay the XXXX over two payments. I did borrow that. I went through a whole lot after borrowing it also. I did not plan to not pay them back. Any assistance that can be provided will help.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX a gentlemen called me from ( XXXX ) XXXX representing himself with the XXXX county courts. He stated a lawsuit was filed against me in regards to fraud. I advised I had no knowledge of this information. He then gave me another number to contact ( XXXX ) XXXX and case number XXXX. I called the number he gave me and a female stated the matter was with an Attorney XXXX. She then advised the matter was due to an unpaid payday load from Ace cash express. I advised her ; this was unethical and against the law to call someone under a false representation of the XXXX County Clerks office. Also, I 've set up payments with them and they 're not allowed to collect on a debt in which payments are already setup. This is a form of harassment. You can not false identify yourself, nor use scare tactics claiming suit by representing yourself as a clerk from the XXXX county courts. The lady then hung up on me. I called back several times baffled of such unprofessional behavior. She then begin to yell advising me to pay my bills when I 've informed her several times I 've already set up payments with them. She refused to give her name.

A year ago I took out a loan with ACE cash express, after 72 hours I attempted to return the money totaling XXXX within 72 hours as stated by the worker on XXXX XXXX, in XXXX, TX. When I went in I was advised that I had the loan for 79 hours and could not return the funds without adding another XXXX for interest. I than called the customer service and told to make some kind of payment until I received a call from a supervisor. Of course that never happened. I made a XXXX payment. Fast forward to XX/XX/2019, I started receiving threatening voicemails. I'm going to assume because I wasnt not answering XXXX from a legal department contact number XXXX XXXX XXXX started calling my sister, my XXXX year old son and my friend, threatening them. On XX/XX/2019 I was finally able to answer the phone when a call came through and was informed that now I owed XXXX for interest and court cost, XX/XX/2019 XXXX called me and advised that I would be served at my home and that they would be calling my employer to advise them of the case filed against me. I have tried to settle a number of times but I refused to give them my bank account and/ or my debit card.

On XX/XX/2019 I received an aggressive and overbearing phone call from a proceedings company representing my county. They gave me another phone number to call and case number. When I called the number the woman said I needed to verify personal information or she wouldnt be able to tell me why I was being sued. So I verified the information then she proceeds to tell me that I was being sued by ACE Cash Express for writing hot checks because I defaulted in a loan. That was far from the truth of course, she then threatened that I will have to pay court and legal fees totaling over {$2000.00} for a loan that was {$500.00}. She then asks how would I like to make my payment today to stop the court proceedings. I had to tell her that I had no money to pay her. She then says that my case will be discharged from their office within 2 hours-2 days and once that happens, there isnt anything else I could do about it. I was not writing hot checks! That is a lie and they know it! The aggressive and boastful manner these people talked to me in, was almost like a scare tactic. Then not only that, why what until the holidays to try to collect on something?

When I logged into my account with Ace Cash Express, I was surprised to find that I could not log back out. All of my personal information was there on the page including SS #, birthdate, check routing number and account number, my address and phone numbers. When I pushed the back button, it asked me to sign in again but no logout! None of their pages have a logout so I called them. I have been hacked in the past and worried that anyone could just pull up my page history. XXXX then rudely said that I probably just need to look around for the button. This was ludicrous to me as it does n't exist which she later admitted. Then she said I just need to X out of the page. Really? After that, I was still able to push back and see all my info again. At this time, I just wanted to cancel my account. I called back and asked for all my info to be removed and then was told that there is no way to remove it even though I owe them nothing! They said it was for an auditing reason. All of this is bogus and I want my information off of their site once and for all. At the least, they should have a logout button to protect delicate consumer information.

I applied for a payday loan around XX/XX/XXXX and received the funds. On XX/XX/XXXX the loan was paid off in full with cash at a physical store location. On XX/XX/XXXX which was the due date, the company then pulled out the amount from my bank account that I had already paid. So I have paid back the same loan twice. I've been attempting to get a refund with no success. I've communicated with the store location the debt was paid at, and with the corporation 's customer service line, and both claim that the refund has to be approved through the corporate department. I asked for the phone number for that department and was told they have no phones and that I can only email. So I emailed them Friday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they claimed it should be solved Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ). When Monday arrived they claimed it had just been submitted and would take 48 hours to process. Now its been the 48 hours and they still tell me they are waiting for the refund to get approved. This whole situation has negatively impacted my family and I in immense ways. I feel that the lack of communication and attention on this matter is unprofessional and unfair.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX dispatch. I was asked if someone had attempted to serve me papers twice in the past week. I said no, because nobody has. The dispatcher, who was very kind, gave me a phone number XXXX. He told me to call the number and let them know that I have not been notified and to request a XXXX hour hold. When I called the number, the gentleman that I spoke to started off very nice but quickly became judgmental and rude. He asked if I could pay him money today and I said that I would not be able to pay anything until next Friday. He said " If you don't pay something today, your license will be suspended '' He asked why I couldn't pay anything today and I stated " because I have XXXX children and household bills that I just paid '' He laughed and said " so you can't afford to pay the loan but you can afford to get your license taken away '' I don't appreciate being talked to like I'm a piece of trash. Things happen and people are left with little to no choice at times. The outstanding loan is with Ace Cash Express and I can begin to pay my balance next Friday, XX/XX/XXXX.

I was recently contacted by a third party for the company, Ace Cash Express. They contacted my mother and husband and told them that I was going to be sued for a debt that was not paid in 2014. I asked the company to send that information in writing so that I could forward it to to the debt relief company that is negotiating my debt. They told me that company policy would not allow them to do that and that I had to agree to an installment. I proceeded to tell them that I needed that information in writing because I am handling my debt through credit negotiators so that I can pay my debt off in a timely manner because my husband and I have separated and my funds are limited. They then proceeded to tell me that I had to pay what they told me but they could not send me anything in writing until I agreed to pay this predetermined amount and it would only be the installment agreement that was sent. The lady then got upset with me because I continued to ask for something in writing. She then said that she only works there and that they were going to sue me and see me in court because I would not agree to their terms.

I have never personally applied for a payday loan. A XXXX years back I was living with my ex boyfriend and was immediately made aware that he was making fraudelent purchases without my consent and got all of the purchases credited back to my bank account. I do n't know if he applied for a payday loan at that time because this is my XXXX time hearing about it and I currently have no way to contact him but I do know I 've never personally applied for XXXX. The reason I 'm filing this complaint because I am now being harassed by a collection company on behalf of Ace Cash Express and threatened to be sued for a payday loan I never applied for. Furthermore they are now harassing my father who is ill and worrying him about the matter to the point where he contacted me very upset. When I called the collection agency their primary focus was to intimidate me more into making an agreement and could n't provide me with any information about the loan other than I was going to be sued and served tomorrow if I did n't make a agreement today. The calls to my relatives and the harassment needs to come to an immediate end:

The debt collector is harassing my family. He called me on XX/XX/XXXX and I told him if we can come to an agreement and pay in monthly incriminates and I was told no and they would be sending it to county the following business day I said ok. I mean I cant pay something I dont have. Then he continues on calling me from different numbers and also left my father a pretty threatening message and even told him he would go to court also and my father doesnt speak the best English. He also decided to reveal that he had my fathers social security number and that he would be implicated and sued with myself. Which makes no sense since my father told him to stop calling him and it was my own matter. He then started to say my father raised a bad child and that I was stealing which I was not. This man gave my father a panic attack see that my father has multiple medical issues and I will also attempt to get a lawyer. At this point this man has been so aggressive Im starting to think he is fraud. I also have saved voicemails of the harassment and abusive aggressive language. An screen shots of the multiple calls

While checking my credit report I noticed a collection account from a XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that I owe {$500.00} from an Ace Cash Advance. I have had dealings with them in the past after I had received several spam/fraud emails from another collection agency XXXX that was threatening to " take me to the courthouse if I do not pay '' I asked for proof of the debt being that I am a victim of identity theft in past. The never sent me any proof of the debt. I filed a complaint with my states attorney General, and they stated that the emails I was receiving were fraudulent. I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. After this, and not receiving any feedback from any XXXX, I thought the matter was closed. Now this collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX has placed this account on my credit report which has caused my credit score to drop nearly XXXX points! I am in the process of looking for a home to rent and this has severely affected my chances of getting approved by potential agents/ landlords. I have sent letters to all " collection agencies '' that are claiming to represent ACE cash advance with no response.

I am writing to claim false debt collection. The first calls were coming from XXXX XXXX at XXXX in XXXX XXXX. This number was contacting several family members about collecting the debt. However, I was not notified of the name of the debt collection agency or any written mail or email presented from this company. They were very abrasive about collecting money, and when the payment was due on the first call. I agreed to make the two payments. At this point in time, I did make the first payment. Upon further research of the number, there were several websites accusing this number as a phantom debt collector and a scam. I became worried, and did not follow through on the second payment. A second number began calling at XXXX ; this was XXXX XXXX claiming to be from XXXX. XXXX was calling several family members, as well. He did not know of what number called before, and I notified him of the potential scam which is why I did not make the second payment. The email he claimed to have sent on the XXXX of XXXX was not anywhere to be found. I am concerned that the company calling is not a legitimate company.

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I applied for an installment loan with Ace Cash Express for the amount of {$4200.00}. Ace Cash Express deposited the funds into my primary checking account on XXXX XXXX, 2015. According to the agreement, I am to make XXXX payments in the amount of {$270.00} with an initial payment of {$330.00}. The initial payment was deducted from my account on XXXX XXXX, 2015. As of XXXX XXXX, I had repaid {$1100.00}. I contacted Ace Cash Express on XXXX XXXX to get a pay-off quote and I was informed that the pay-off through XXXX XXXX, 2015 is {$4100.00}. I 've complied with the loan agreement and made payments as scheduled, but only {$16.00} has gone toward the premium balance. I have ceased making payments until I can get a resolution on the interest. This is a predatory loan and I do n't think it is legal. I 'm seeking assistance for a resolution. I am not opposed to paying the loan as I have taken loans with Ace Cash Express in the past, but I was always in a position to pay the loan in full within a couple of weeks, so I did not realize that this Company specializes in predatory loans.

I refinanced my installment loan with ACE/populus on XX/XX/XXXX total due $ XXXXwith nobpayment due until XX/XX/XXXX. On the week of XXXX, I went back to the store location and asked the clerk if I were to make a early installment payment would my loan increase to {$700.00} or the max that I could borrow. The clerk XXXX plainly explained that my payments were due on the XXXX and I would not be late pay until after XX/XX/XXXX since the XXXX would be 9 days past my first payment due date that I can be 10 days late on. This complaint is about XXXX, Ace opolus employee, she called and left me the most basic collections message on XXXX. My loan was not due until XX/XX/XXXX. She had no reason to call me ahead of time, I was told by her in person that I can't refinance on XXXX when I arrived at the store to pay early but was told I had until the XXXX of XXXX which would be the 10 the day. My complaint is illegal collection practices and/or phone games if she is allowing others to refinance using my name since I am a victim of identity theft. Unsure why she called me, my loan payment was up to date.

On or about XX/XX/XXXX my identity was stolen. Pulled credit reports on XX/XX/XXXX and saw Ace Cash Express had done inquiry and after reviewing my XXXX XXXX report saw actual payday loan was opened for {$330.00}. My credit reports had incorrect information including telephone numbers and employer. Filed reports with FTC and law enforcement. Contacted ACE and they would not discuss with me because I said it was a fraudulent account. On XXXX provided them with report from law enforcement, FTC report, proof of employer, and documentation that checking account funds were deposited in was fraudulent and closed by XXXX XXXX. Information was sent via internet several times ( as instructed to XXXX and USPS certified mail.

I have never heard of ace cash express 2. I never received a first notice 3. The amount of the " pay day loan '' they claim I took is more than pay day loans can legally give you in my state. This company claims I took this loan out while I was working for an employer I haven't worked for in almost 20 years. They also state that it was " malicious intent to commit fraud '' on my part by closing my bank account right after taking this payday loan. I have only ever closed one bank account in my life. I was not working for and had not been working for the XXXX XXXX for several years at the time that account was closed. They are threatening me with wage garnishment, personal property or bank account lein, negative credit reporting, back interest, legal fees, court costs, and full principle of the loan. If I do not mail in the full amount a subpoena to XXXX County Municipal Court will be issued for me and 2 witnesses to go to trial.

XX/XX/XXXX i received a call from who identified themselves as part of the XXXX County Court Clerk stating I was being sued for an unpaid debt and that I had been served twice at an address i no longer live at. I explained that i do not live there and have not been notified. He gave me a phone number to an attorney 's office where he said I would need to speak to my attorney to resolve the issue. I called the number and asked for some information and stated I would like to verify the legitimacy since I have been scammed before and she stated that she isnt playing these games and that i need to pay 60 % today and my debt can be wiped clean and i wont have to go to court or else it will be on all background checks that are done and then hung up on me. I called the county clerk office back and spoke to a woman who looked my information up and stated that the county clerk office does not call anyone and that I did not have any open cases or judgements against me.

One dates XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I and my mother have received threatening phone calls from ACE CASH express. They are stating that they are going to press charges against me for fraud for none payment. They have harassed my mom as well. They are speaking to her as if they intent on holding me hostage : that they know where I live, they know my address, and that they know where I work. If this was all true ACE would know that I am unemployed. And living off food stamps. However on their calls to me they are asking for my address to send documents to. That I have been warned. So if they don't have my address why are they contacting my mother, telling her they know everything about me? Ace Cash express has my information on file. I have not received one piece of mail from ACE and I have not moved. There is no need for the aggression in phone calls. If they have documentation they are more then welcome to send it. During these phone calls its only aggression and threats - there's no point to a resolution - only continuous abrasive language and argumentative communication.

I took out a loan, when into make a payment, and was told that I could increase the amount day with just paying the fees, rather the full payment, In which I did, as I was working a full time and part time job, the part time job was used for approval as well, as I made approximately {$400.00} a week, after getting the increase, the company in which I had the part time position, which paid weekly, merged their company with another company which changed the pay structure, and because the new company was a competitor, and already had their own contractors in place, it changed my income from {$370.00} - {$400.00}. a week, to maybe {$170.00}, if I was able to get on the schedule.

The initial things stated among answering the phone was Hi, My name is XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX trying to contact XXXX XXXX. Initially when hearing that I went into alarm. I kept asking who is this with what company and he stated that he would need to verify some information first. I stated no I would need to know with whom am I speaking. XXXX then stated he was with XXXX XXXX XXXX for Ace Cash Express. I then stated hey XXXX you know you can not represent your self when contacting someone and discontinued call. I refuse to disclose information to any one falsely identifying themselves to me. Later that same hour I attempted to call back in hopes that I can at least obtain a company name. Nope! Not to my surprise it went directly to a busy signal the first time. Second attempt went to a voicemail where XXXX just stated XXXX XXXX. And then a third time he answered I disconnected.

I had a payment due XX/XX/2018. I was not able to make that payment but spoke with a XXXX at the branch location and told her that I could make the payment the following Friday. She was rude, did not care about whether or not I could make that payment the next Friday and told me they will not accepts any form of payments other than the full amount of the loan. They were not willing to work with me at all whether I wanted to pay on it or not. I had no other options given to me. Then I receive a notice in the mail where Ace cash states I took out the full loan that was originally offered to me of {$880.00} and I turned down because I didnt not need to borrow that much. Therefore I only borrowed {$300.00}. But they are claiming my loan was for the {$880.00} and remainder I owe is {$370.00} I believe. This is fraudulent in regards to stating what I borrowed and what I did not! The way I look at this, if they are not willing to accept payments customers wanted to make and leave them with no choice but not to pay it back, then this loan should be non-void.

A few years ago I got a loan from Ace Cash Express and I paid it off. All of a sudden they started taking money out of my account, when I questioned them, they said I took out another loan. I have bank statements to prove that I did n't get a loan from them and had my bank reject all requests from them. I told them if they provide me with the paperwork that proves I got a loan out, then I will talk with them about repaying them back. They have not done this and now I am getting calls and threats from random companies phone numbers saying they are going to take me to court and suspend my license. I actually spoke to the " attorney '' ( which I looked up online and could n't find her name anywhere ) and they said they would email me the information showing that I got a loan with them. Never got the email. I said I would gladly review the information with my lawyer if they sent it to me, but they could never get it sent to me. I hate the threatening calls they leave me, but I guess I will just have to keep ignoring them and hopefully they will stop.

I have recieved XXXX calls XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) from a XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) saying that she is coming to my home or place of employment to serve me legal documents for a debt unless i contact them. I called them back on XX/XX/XXXX to get more information and was told that I owe {$520.00} from Ace Cash Express for a loan that I took out XX/XX/XXXX. They said that I took out a loan and failed to pay the loan back. Therefore, they said that I wrote a bad check. They also have called family and friends telling them that I am in debt and they are filing a lawsuit against me and that they are coming to my house to file papers on me. This information is none of my family and friends concern. They should not be contacting them, telling them my person business. This loan was taken out over 4 years and i honestly do not remember the circumstances involving the loan, but I do know for a fact that at the time I took the loan out, my intention was to pay it back. I have the voicemail messages left by " XXXX XXXX ''.

She also disclosed a past email address. She told me that I owed XXXX but that her agency would take a settlement payment of XXXX over the next 4 months. I set up payments to start on XX/XX/XXXX. After doing further research, I found that XXXX XXXX was not an official collections agency and found no information online. I called XXXX again to ask for an address, the rep did not want to disclose. I never received any official documents via email as XXXX stated I would.

I took out a loan with Ace cash express for {$2500.00} and agreed to pay biweekly payments of {$270.00}. I made enough payments to have paid off the {$2500.00} but of course with the interest in was being charged I was barely paying towards the principal. I felt into a financial issues and could n't afford to pay the biweekly payments set at {$270.00} and so I contacted them to set up arrangements to continue to pay them. I asked them to stop and or discontinue any automatic payments from my bank account and yet they continued to go into my account despite my request. When I called them can supervisor XXXX stated that the representative failed to document such request but that anyways I had an obligation either them and they could and had the right to go into my account to get the money. This upset me tremendously because I felt as if my rights as a consumer were being disrespect just because I felt into a hardship and could n't pay. Please help xoxo they call me 5 times a day and I am XXXX and they have continously continue to harass me.

ACE CASH EXPRESS loaned me money on two separate occasions and both went to different debt collectors, one was six years old and one was a year ago. I was contacted and threatened with jail time for felony wire fraud and even told its 90 days jail time if I did not pay that day. The collection agency stated my case was on the docket for XXXX that day and misled me to believe if I didnt pay I would be pursued criminally. Another debt collection company contacted me about my six year old debt threatening me with theft by deception and jail time. Ace cash express is aggressively collecting debt from consumers still even after they were sued and had to pay back XXXX million in damages. Collectors should not be threatening jail time nor should they be pressing criminal charges for a debt that was unpaid due to financial hardship. I have every intent to pay the money back but I have been going through a very tough time financially. Ace cash express states the debt is in collections and theyre unwilling to make payment arrangements with me.

I 've received numerous calls from the company about a payday loan that they said I took out on XX/XX/2015 ; which is false. The first agent on XXXX/XXXX/15 said that they have video footage of me walking into a store and taking out a loan never paying on it. I took out a loan 2 years ago and it was paid on. He said that a sheriff will serve me if I did n't pay {$460.00}. I did not pay. On XXXX/XXXX/15, while working I kept receiving unknown calls and I answered and said nothing and I heard a lady say fine I will keep calling all day. She called several times in a course of XXXX minutes. I finally answered, and she said that a sheriff will serve me court papers today at my home and job for my coworkers to see. I told her that she was harassing me and asked for her information. She gave me XXXX XXXX, with a fake number, no address, and fake docket number. I later called back to get their address and they refused to give me their address. I have not received anything by mail informing me of this debt, just threatening phone calls.

Ace Cash Express directed me to Populus Financial to pay off my previous account. I experienced hardship during the Covid 19 epidemic and I applied for a payday loan. I wasnt aware of this installment loan nor the high interest rates. Even though I made payments towards my ACE Cash Express account, my banking institution stated, the merchant whom received my payments was through a currency, or to a foreign country. My banking institution told me to contact the merchant to verify my received payments and to show proof of payments receive to a company within the United States of America. I asked Populus Financial for an invoice and I spoke to several supervisors for assistance. My payments to Populus Financial did not leave me in good standing with Ace Cash Express. The interest rates for this online installment loan should be further investigated. Populus Financial stated, No third parties are working on the companys behalf, however, the company has failed to properly report updated information regarding customers accounts.

On Tuesday, XXXX XXXX, 2015 a bill collector at the number XXXX called me XXXX times between the hours of XXXX and XXXX and would only identify himself as XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. The voice mails stated they have a complaint in their office corresponding to my name, address, and SSN and I have to call them back within XXXX hours to address this complaint or else they will send a process server. When I called back, the agent did not immediately disclose that it was an effort to collect a debt, he was rude when I asked him to get to the point and tell me what they were calling me in reference to. I hung up on him. Then he called back and left my full SSN and DOB on my voicemail and said I have to call him back immediately or I will " be scheduled to appear, '' and failure to do so will result in " further consequences. '' He called again and I when I asked him to stop calling me he talked over me and said that he can send the process server to my job and I need to take care of my business and grow up, before hanging up on me.

I took out a installment loan with Ace cash express XXXX and I was making the monthly payments. I had on XXXX occasion called and spoke with the agent letting them know that I had to wait till my next pay date to pay my loan. The agent said that it was fine. My pay day was a week from when the payment was due. I then called to check and see the amount that was due when I came in that day. When I spoke to a lady on the phone she said that I was too late to pay a payment and that I had to pay the full amount. I told her that I did not have the full amount of the loan at that time. She told me that Either I have it all or go into default. which would entail being called and bugged at all times of day and night. Ace started calling me about XXXX times a day and sending me false emails that said that I owed about {$500.00} more than I the actually owed. I also had problems at work because they would call me multiple times at my work which untimely led to discipline at work, and finished with me being let go from that job.

Yesterday I received a call regarding a payday loan in the amount of {$300.00} that needs to be taken care of. When I tried to make arrangements to pay it, the rep said the balance is now almost {$600.00}, and she was not willing to accept a postdate check for the XXXX , nor was she willing to accept anything under {$200.00} a month. At the moment I am in a financial bind and can not afford that, but I have every intention of paying it. After no resolution was arranged, the rep said, " Good luck in court. I hope they do n't garnish your wages, '' then hung up. I called b ack a second time and tried to convince them to accept the arrangement again and was told once again, '' Good luck in court, '' and then they hung up. This debt is not on my credit court, so I honestly forgot about it. I am paying on other debt at the moment and have never had a company operate in such an unprofessional and uncaring manner. I would like to resolve the account, but I need better customer service and a better pa yment arrangement.

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 ACE CASH EXPRESS withdrew the final payment on a loan I had taken out with them with a 6 month repayment plan. The payment went through fine and there were adequate funds to cover it. Two weeks later ACE CASH EXPRESS began calling me non-stop, stating that the payment had been returned by the bank because of insufficient funds. I checked with the bank multiple times and this turned out not to be true- the statements show the payment cleared. When I informed the lender of this they told me I had to prove it and have continued with harassing phone calls and demanding money telling me it had gone to collections. In order to stop the harassment I sent in an extra payment. Please note this lender also provides borrowers with no documentation of their loan, no online account access where you can see how much you have paid and owe and so on. Borrowing from ACE CASH EXPRESS is dangerous for consumers. I have attached my bank statement showing the payment went through successfully on XXXX/XXXX/2015.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was approved for a payday loan with Ace Cash express for {$1500.00}. The fee 's and interest for the loan were {$350.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email about refinancing for an additional 2 weeks. I called at XXXX am XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and talked to one of their loan specialist about the refi option. I specifically asked multiple times on the call that if I do the refi will I receive an additional {$350.00} in fees and was told NO I will only have the {$350.00} take out on XX/XX/XXXX and the remaining {$1500.00} will be taken out on XX/XX/XXXX my next pay date. I was crystal clear to the rep that if I was going to be charged an additional fee then I would not do the refi and she specifically stated that I would not. I am requesting for a supervisor to please listen to the XX/XX/XXXX calls and please let me know what repercussions or options I have because I was clearly miss guided on this refinance. I would have never agreed to pay over {$700.00} in fees just to get a {$1500.00} loan.

I was contacted by XXXX and XXXX via phone. It was a recorded message in which I could select a button to transfer to a representative. When I did that the person I spoke with at XXXX and XXXX threatened me and then hung up when I requested a future date call back. I've been requesting pay-off options and have been willing to surrender the vehicle from the start of going into default on this loan / debit. I understand that's not an option and I'm working to get the money to pay this off. However, I do not think its acceptable to be treated as such a way. When I called back this person continued swearing at me using the XXXX word and hanging up. I'm simply requesting a future date to settle this. I just need more time to get the money. The original loan amount was {$550.00}, they're settlement offer is {$690.00}. However, the person I spoke with at XXXX and XXXX threatened me saying she's removing my number and sending my default to court where I'll be forced to pay over {$3000.00} and then hung up.

I took out a payday loan with Ace Cash Express located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX XXXX. I have a payment plan to repay this loan. On XX/XX/ I paid the XXXX payment of this repayment agreement online on the company 's website. I authorized the payment of {$100.00} which was due on XX/XX/. On XX/XX/XXXX after checking my bank account, I see that Ace Cash Express took another unauthorized payment of {$200.00} from my bank account. I did not authorize this payment. I immediately contacted customer service and the store 's manager. This unauthorized payment has overdrawn my bank account. This company owes me money to fix the overages to my account. I have hospital bills that are set up on autopay from my account and now overdraft fees have been accessed because of this transaction taking the money which was for those hospital bills. This is fraud and theft. The XXXX XXXX for this company is in no hurry to fix this problem, all she gives are excuses and refuses to return phone calls promptly.

At first I didnt know if it was a legal debt and I did find the company on the list. I made arrangements to pay the {$300.00} that was agreed to close the acct. then I got another email saying we forgot to tell you, you owe another {$190.00} or we will send you to get sued and pay more. I told them I wasnt going to pay. I was then contacted by 2 other people saying the same thing that I will be sued and have to go to court and pay the full amount. On email said if I pay the {$190.00} they will close the account. They have my social security number so I got real scared and paid it. Then I received another email saying I owe an additional {$140.00}. I then told them I am not paying so they threatened me to send my acct to a lawyer. I then filed a police report for harassment and the officer told me it is fraud and to report my social security number is being fraud.

Four hours later i received a call form the rep who instructed me i had to call my bank on 3 way to verify information. After this phone call the rep said i would have my funds withing 24 hours. During this process i never saw or agreed to the terms they set forth. I never signed or revived a TRUTH IN LENDING disclosures. When I called to speak to a manager he indicated I had already signed the documents. I said if i did sign the document i would like to receive a copy showing my signature and he said he can not provide that to me. By law i should receive and have signed the disclosure and ace cash advance did not show me or provide me this document and still proceeded with the loan under terms i was unaware of.

Had told me a letter was sent to me certified mail and they were going to come to my house for me to sign documents. I asked to have this rescheduled so I had time to look into the company and the person who called. They said my loan was {$700.00} but they didn't understand why my payoff was {$690.00}. They claimed Ace cash was suing me for over {$2000.00} according to Texas state law they were allowed to charge over 3x 's the amount owed. I contacted Ace cash immediately today on XX/XX/XXXX to which they claimed the did not harass their clients like this. They continued to contact family members in a different state claiming lawsuit and requesting information for a background check. I asked what jurisdiction and county this lawsuit was out of and they could not give me that answer. I was then hung up on.

Called I. To pay off my current loan Ace said they had to wait until Monday because they already took a payment today and I would have to pay extra in fees based on the days. They said that because of my state they cant take more than one payment. If I authorize them to take the money now they should be but they said they couldnt and I would have to make extra payments it was all due to my state and not the company greed. After being upset I called back and asked if I could go into one of the stores I was told yes and the woman at the store said I couldnt because even though its the same company she could t see anything due to their system. I asked her to call that I was trying to avoid extra fees and she refused to even try. You should be able to make a same day payoff and they are refusing, I feel like its some scheme for the company to take advantage of people and this is what call actual. Lawsuits are about. Im more than sure Im not the only person having these types of issues.

For the past few weeks, I have been contacted by Ace Cash via email to collect on a loan that I have not applied for. I 've attached their latest email to this complaint. I am also being constantly called at all times, presumably by this agency.The last email threatened legal action and was sent by XXXX XXXX XXXX, claiming to be a legal representative for Ace Cash. I am very concerned about this because they have access to my Social Security number and my home address. They may even have access to my phone number because I have been contacted via phone as well. I no longer pick up the phone when I do n't recognize the number for fear that this is Ace Cash. I do n't know this company nor have I ever reached out to them for their services. I have never applied for their products. I respectfully request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to initiate an investigation to determine who is behind this and to take whatever measures are necessary to protect my identity.

She couldnt provide me any information pertains to her office name, address, location, etc. she gave me another phone # XXXX and reference # XXXX. She then called my work and told my operational manager I was rude to her because I was asking for her company information. I then called the # and gave them the reference # and spoke with XXXX and XXXX XXXX both were not able to give me any company information other than the company name of Assurance and that it was for a debt with Ace Cash Express. I asked who do I pay. They told me at this point they dont want my money they are coming after me. But they still wouldnt provide me any information as to what kind of case, case #. They told my operational manager they were coming to apprehend me and couldnt provide her with much information either.

I was four days late making the payment. Only because they do not give you an option to pay online. They required I come in. I was avoiding doing so because we are in the middle of a virus epidemic. I have never been later before, ever.They called all my references repeatedly harassing them to have me call them. I called when I was able to, to say I would in fact make the trip in on the coming Friday to pay them when I got some money. They told me it was to late and I had been sent to collections after just four days. Now they are harassing me about paying the balance in full. Calling me at work and all hours of the day. I tried to explain that right now I just don't have the money. They are taking advantage of people who are struggling right now and sending people to collections during this epidemic. I offered to pay what I could when I could and they do not want to accept. I am a single mother who is struggling right now. I have lost hours and pay during this time.

I received a phone call on XX/XX/2019 from XXXX stating that he was a 'Compliance Officer ' for XXXX County regarding a case number XXXX and said that i needed to contact XXXX to discuss my options. He said that there was an 'Order of location ' out for me and that he would show up to my residence or job and require two forms or identification and I would need to sign the documents. I called XXXX and it was answered XXXX and they said there were trying to collect {$3000.00} out from Ace Cash express. They said that they would send it to court and that I would lose so I need to pay it now. I asked for them to send me verification of the debt and they told me they don't need to. I asked who were they and they told me that I just need to pay right now. She got defensive and told me she is not going to argue with me anymore she is just going to send my account to the judge and she will get her money one way or another. She yelled and screamed at me and harassed me.

On XX/XX/2022 my nephew tried to cash a check I sent from a XXXX account that I am Trustee over. In fact I sent XXXX checks, one from the account of my deceased mother and one from my deceased father, both under XXXX trust. He attempted to XXXX XXXX of the XXXX checks. The checks were written on XXXX XXXX accounts. Each check was for {$6000.00} for a total of {$12000.00}. He attempted to only XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX located in XXXX called me twice. Once to verify the account information and the last call explained they needed a three way call with the XXXX store, XXXX and me to verify how much the account had in the account. I said that they only needed to verify the account had sufficient funds to cover the check and the balance in the account was not their business. I feel this was fraudulent to find out how much total was in this trust account. I declined. I think it was either ignorance or a fraudulent motive. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX ( XXXX ) XXXX

I paid this debt for my son 2 years ago while he was in XXXX. I have communication from the debt collection company stating that it was satisfied and it shows on his credit report as satisfied. Now 2 years later I get a call from another debt collector representing their call about a legal case in AZ and they sent a process server to my home and went and spoke to 1 of my neighbors about this matter for something that was resolved 2 years ago. When I spoke to them on Monday XX/XX/XXXX they were going to send me their information on the case ( which tells me they knew that it was closed ), however they never sent anything. I have my own records from the debt collector that I dealt with stating that it was paid in full and resolved.

I received an email from ACE Cash Express on XX/XX/XXXX stating my loan payment for {$140.00} is coming due XX/XX/XXXX and would be withdrawn from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. The last four digits of the account number matched my savings account. The company withdrew this amount from my savings. For some reason it was reversed but the bank was unable to tell me if that was on their end or ACE Cash Express. Using my email, I tried to logging to ACE Cash Express by using the forgot password option and the login link they provided in the email. After logging in I was able to see my outstanding balance of {$680.00} and payment schedule showing this is a new loan that I have never made a payment on. The payment schedule shows {$140.00} due every two weeks with the next payment coming due on XX/XX/XXXX. I was unable to locate any loan documents in the portal or reach ACE Cash Express by phone. I did not take out this loan and I did not receive a loan from this company.

I took out a payday loan expecting it to be a decent amount that was owed back. The interest rate was too high and at this time I am a student that is unable to set up a payment plan with the loan company. Today I received a threatening phone call saying that i had an order for my location, and that I would be arrested. It scared me, so I contacted the court house they claimed I had a case with and there were no records there. Also, I went online to make sure there was no warrant or such for a failed loan. The bank account that I used back in 2012 when I received the loan has since been closed because it was almost over 4 years ago! They are harassing me saying that I committed a crime of sort. When I have done no such thing. I had an email sent a few months ago that I responded to explaining to them that I would not be able to pay the funds at the time. Unfortunately Im not sure what else to do, and Im not sure If I am legally in trouble or what is going on.

I was informed that it was a process server, ensuring that I would be home at a certain time on XX/XX/20, in order for him to serve me. I contacted the company in which he informed me sent him, and was told that I had a loan for the amount exceding {$1000.00}, for a loan that I supposedly defaulted on. When provided the information that they had, I explained to them that I had not lived at that residence nor had I used that financial insitution during the time frame they gave me. I made an offer to help lower the amount owed, it was declined, and i was informed that they would continue on with the civil suit if i was unable to pay almost {$700.00} today. I explained that that was impossible due to work and Covid, to which he informed me that i would instead be responsible for paying {$4500.00} to {$4900.00} wiht legal fees and court costs as a result.

I was contacted today and the person on the other end of the phone I think His name was XXXX. Told me I was about to be served and I had an hour to pay this debt to stop it. That they were filing fraud charges and one other I cant quite remember. I hung up because thought I was a scam. Then my husband called and he had been called for the same reason. They had given him all my personal information. They have no idea if we are even married or together. They read him my full social security number. So I called the number back that they gave him where I was again threatened, with lawsuits and different charges. I hung up because they were being rude on the phone again. I was then called again by XXXX XXXX at XXXX on XX/XX/2019 telling me they needed to know where I was to serve me papers. All of these numbers were out of state and this is very suspicious. I was called 4 times in a matter of 2 hours. And they contacted and outside party to this case.

This is AFTER they threatened me and said " See you in court. '' They are not giving me any information, they continue to harass and threaten me.

Within the past month, the so called " ligitation '' company for ACE Cash Express has contacted ex-relationships, in-laws, long-distance relatives and employer to collect debt. Initially, I spoke with a representative and informed her that my family is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic which they did not seem to care much about. After a couple weeks, they reached out to one of my ex-relationship to leave a voicemail about me being served papers to my employer and/or residence. In that same day, they reached out to a long distance relative and left the same voicemail to contact XXXX XXXX. When I called back, the lady said there was noone by that name that worked there and they did not control who they called. Also, she refused to give me her name since I did not make payment arrangements. AGAIN, COVID is still affecting my family so I can make promises with no stable income. Very rude and unprofessional and threaten to be served papers.

The agent mis-represented himself to be from a law firm, he then corrected himself in the middle of the call, agent was harrasing and threated to send the information to the authorities to have me sued or arrested. I asked if I could call my attorney to discuss the matter, and the agent threatened that if I did that he would make sure I was charged with check fraud. He hung up the call. I did call back and spoke with someone else to make the payment, the tactics the person used was harassing and was a violation of my rights, he did n't correctly identify himself, he did n't allow me to call him back because of wanting to seek legal counsel, and was overall extremely unprofessional and rude.

This number is calling about 5-6 people either kin to me or acquaintances telling them they are coming to get me, file criminal case against me. Officer XXXX is what she goes by but when I call the number it gets answered by a person who just says hello when I inquired about it they first tell me that Im a thief and fraudulent person who steals money which is far from the truth if I messed up I messed up and I want to make it up and fix it. Ace has never attempted to contact me prior to this I have the same number, bank account and address. After about a hour phone call I paid my what all I had to my name because if I didnt I was told the case would move forward. Today I called again because I felt it was a scam and was give 4 different numbers that my account was sold to and none of who I paid! This has caused so much distress with the threats and paying all I have to stop a case that probably dont exist.

The company has called my place of business and personal line in attempts to collect an alleged debt owed. Agents of XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to provide me with the address and or web page of the company.The company continues to use false, deceptive, and misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of a debt. 15 U.S.C. 1692e.

I received a call with a unknown number from Ace Cash Express to call them back that they are filing a claim against me. I called back and the representative accused me of fraud for not paying back the pay day loan. I explained to XXXX XXXX that Ace cash Express put me in a cycle of debt and I just could n't pay back anymore. He did n't care and threatened to file a law suit with XXXX county. I told him that I ca n't afford to pay them back because I only work few hours a week but I will try to borrow money and call them back. However I could not borrow any money to pay back. So the next day I received a voice mail supposedly from an officer to call them back or they will go to my employer. I live off pay check to pay check and it 's their fault for putting me in debt and now pretending to be a officer. They also called my sister and threatened to call my employer even though I do n't work in a office.

I contacted the company on my due date and made arangements to pay the payment in 5 days when I had a paycheck come in. They said that was fine and told me to come in and pay on my payday. I then contacted them on my payday to see how much the payment was and they said I had to pay the total amount of the loan. I did n't have that much money to pay in full. I told them of my situation and they said I had to pay the whole amount. On my next payday I attemed to pay the full amount and they sent me an email saying that I had to pay the full amount plus {$500.00} to pay off the debt. They then proceeded to call roughly 20 times a day harassing me leaving me countless messages on my voice mail. They called so many times that I was reprimanded at work for my cell phone ringing twice an hour. I just want to settle the correct amount that is owed so the harassment will stop. The company is ace cash express.

The staff at ace cash express intentionally lies about withdrawal fees. This isn't the first time they have done this. I went in to pay my my rent, I already know that my XXXX XXXX charges me to withdrawal cash however she stated XXXX XXXX was charging me {$5.00} dollars flat and ace cash express fee was {$3.00}. At the end of the transaction {$10.00} is unaccounted for and when I asked for the receipt she said there wasn't one. After arguing with her I finally received receipt, which is beyond misleading, and I also get a text message from my card. XXXX XXXX only charged me {$2.00} for withdrawal, which by the way of my card was swiped as paying a bill it would not have charged me st all, so she purposely put withdrawal instead of transaction, and she clearly lied about her fee being as how XXXX XXXX gave me a breakdown and it said {$2.00} was charged by XXXX XXXX and {$7.00} was charged by her.

I got a phone call and the caller ID showed up as XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I picked it up. Some guy claiming to the the XXXX Police Department dispatcher told me that he has police outside my house and they will be coming in to get me if I don't call XXXX to settle a debt. I let him know that they were at the wrong address anyways and he told me they would be picking me up from work if I didn't call that number. I called the number and was told that I was being charged with fraud, writing bad checks, and defamation. If I wanted to avoid these charges I would have to : - Pay {$1000.00} today - Agree to pay $ XXXX/month for six months - Pay {$400.00} today and agree to pay {$170.00} for six months I didn't give them any money, but felt like this should be reported. I'm uncertain at the moment if there is a warrant for my arrest, or if police officers will be showing up at my job, this is ridiculous.

He gave me the phone number which is XXXX and a case number XXXX Im not sure how they got ahold of my uncle or how they found out his phone number when even I dont know his number.

I tried using the card on XX/XX/XXXX and the card was declined due to the account being closed.

I asked them how was that possible when I was the primary information on the account and the person that opened the account. They only told me, the remaining balance of XXXX would be held for 120 days and I could come back then to discuss. I recently visited the store and requested the XXXX balance but was told they did not have any information on me in their system.

I went to pay my rent at ACE Cash Express, I handed the clerk {$1000.00} dollars cash. The {$900.00} for rent payment and the service, The rent was not all pay, nor did I get the service fee and correct amount. The clerk at ACE Cash Express did not submit correct amount of money after giving her {$1000.00} cash to pay {$900.00}, rent fee. Once I realized she did not put the correct amount I did realize the error until my property manager contacted and informed me of the {$400.00} dollars shortage and that I did not get my correct change from the transaction fee. I am very upset that ACE Cash Expree, caused me to get a notice of eviction, and late fee! I request that the drawer be counted and was denied. I also requested to file Complaint with Federal Trade Commission, Elder Abuse at time of transaction. Thank you your prompt attention to this urgent problem!

Three hours later I received another call from the same number where one woman was very rude and even hung up on me when I asked what/who this was. I called the number back to advise them not to call this number again. I even repeated the phone number back to them and the representative said they will remove the number. An hour and about 35 minutes after I received another call from the same number, two more calls about three hours after that and then finally another call an hour and 45 minutes after that as well as voice mail messages.

I thought utilizing ace check cashing service would have directly with avoided the exact dilemma that ace is imposing on me and my credit now. Apparently paying a huge check cashing fee, ( I only got approx 80 $ ) as well as other membership fees are all for nothing - because now ace is telling me a check they confirmed and cashed for me as well as charged me for, was not good? And now I owe ace the original check cashing fee, ( 12-15 $ ) the amount of the check, ( approx100 $ ) another fee as well ( XXXX $ ) and a returned fee. ( XXXX $ ) All this totals up to many more dollars than I ever even received from ace after I used their services approx three months ago. Now two months ago they claim I owe them many more dollars than they ever gave me after using their services, and finally a month ago they stick it on and attempt to ruion my credit report

An employee with ace cashing changed the last digit of my driver linsence. The check was from XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$5000.00}. The last digit of my linsence is XXXX not XXXX. XXXX XXXX was able to get a packet to me. I 've mailed information out of the city, I have n't been a letter to receive mail. Until now, because there is a company name surrounding my name. I ca n't submit a change of address through The United States Postal Service. Due to theft of mail through the internet. It appears as though I 'm included in a group for the person/persons to get group discounts & senior citizens benefits. These are corrupt dangerous people. Please research the wage earner case number XXXX. The courts shows I was discharged XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was refinanced on XX/XX/XXXX, while I was under wage earner. The new loan is with XXXX XXXX.

XXXX months ago I got a payday Loan with Ace Cash. I got XXXX extensions with them. I was about to make a payment and went into their website to do so. I could not log in to their site. So I called and the customer service person told me that they no longer gave pay day loans in Maine and that is why I could n't. So I asked her if I could make payment arrangements with her and she said no I am sorry. I might add that I had XXXX more times I could make payment arrangements. She said that they would be debting the full amount of the loan which was XXXX on the XXXX I said i could n't pay that and she said well stop payment on it and we will make payment arrangements with you. I did just that. Now I realize that they broke their contract with me and probably charged me for non payment and I know for a fact it is on my credit report for non payment.

Every single year, since about 2018, I get a call once or twice a year stating that Ace Cash Express has hired them to collect a debt from me. I have asked many times to have proof of debt sent to me and have also asked them to quit contacting my family members and my place of employment. The problem is, every year it's a different company that calls me, but it's always about the same thing.

I took out a loan about a year ago to pay for my rent, cause my check was a little short. Couple days after I got into a car accident, which I had to put all my money towards. I had to decide what bills were more important. I actually kind of forgot about the debt while going through therapy, until I started getting harassing phone calls from so many different numbers, at all different types of hours. Sometimes it 's XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and my fone will still ring. Unfortunately a year later I 'm still unable to pay them back because I 'm still financially recovering from the accident, plus they keep adding these crazy interest rates. This morning I got a phone call stating that they 're going to file a civil suit against me if I do n't pay. I 'm the one that owes them, but this HARASSMENT HAS TO STOP, I ca n't take it anymore.

Ace Cash Express Decided My Payment Was Due 3 Days Before My Pay Date On The XXXX ( XX/XX/2021 ).

They also threatened that I would be arrested and that action should be taken now then the calls stopped. I began receiving calls again in XXXX 2016. The collection agent disclosed full name full social full routing and account number and full address without insuring that I was the correct consumer and before disclosing what the call was inregard to. After she provided all of my personal information she then decided to inform me that the call was in regards to Ace Cash Express.

I have tried to settle but they are rude curse hang up on me and say I 'm being charged with check fraud. I did n't do anything wrong and I have read online about a lot hundreds of others that they have done this too for an extra buck it 's wrong and people that do n't know about fair debt collection act do n't even have a chance.

I fell on hard times and took out a small pay day loan to help with bills through Ace Cash Express. I unfortunately was not able to pay the loan off and have since been in the process for filing for bankruptcy. I have received numerous harassing phone calls in the past and at that time had my lawyer reach out to them on my behalf. I received a phone call today from a blocked phone number stating that I have a court date that I must attend for a lawsuit and to contact a mediator for further assistance. Upon doing that I spoke with a representative that informed that ACE is suing me for writing a bad check? She said that she talked down the price with Ace to half the cost with it being due immediately or they can try to garnish wages etc. I am not 100 % sure if this is a scare tactic as I feel uneasy just giving out my information.

This company excessively calls my phone each day starting very early in the morning. After I deny their calls, another strange phone number usually calls me immediately after, and after that an Unknown phone number calls. Sometimes they leave voicemails saying who they are, and other times ( mainly when calling from the other numbers ) the voicemail is silent for about 0:13 seconds. I have contacted them on numerous occasions to notify them to not contact me. They leave voicemails saying they have my social security number on their desk and also say I need to return items deposited into my checking account or they will take further action. The calls are excessive and happen usually in batches of 3 every hour of the day. I cant be their only account so how do they find enough time each day to contact me so many times?

Once I accepted the terms became unclear as a new payment schedule was offered at 497 % interest. I began making payments, but the interest continued to accrue. I requested documentation confirming the terms of the loan and all payments made, but was informed Ace cash does n't offer this type of documentation, but could be viewed online. No information existed online as well once I checked. Interest rates were continually applied, adjusted and re-applied as per the customer service individuals I spoke with but no individual I spoke with could offer clarification of the interest, terms and payments made on the loan.

They contact consumers from various telephone numbers ( with caller ID information hidden ) at multiple times of the day, without leaving any voicemail or identification of who they are and that their calls are an attempt to collect a debt.

I do n't even recall applying for a loan or receiving a loan from these people and they 've been emailing me and calling me and my family members harassing us for money. Even going so far as to say I will be arrested if it 's not paid right now over the phone. Emailing me said they will take me to the courthouse to get money from me and make me pay legal fees and every email is for a different amount. Not one of them is for the same loan amount. They try to scare me by emailing me and including my social security number like they know it so I had to have taken a loan out. And the best part is payday loans are illegal in the state I live in! So this makes no sense and I 'm tired of the threats and harassment! They also claim that the US government is placing my social security number on hold.

Th company calls mutiple times a month. I have to explain each time. I am currently not working due to COVID and I will contact them when I do normally they are very understanding, but this last time the girl was persistent and rude. More like interrogation. Now, I have received emails stating I am going to be arrested and they are going to sue for like XXXX something. My payday loan was only XXXX and they are saying they will settle for XXXX without getting legal involved. That still way over the amount I originally was supposed to pay back and I am still looking for employment. I made them aware I was going to be filing a complaint with FTC and they will be hearing from my lawyer since. I know my rights as a abiding citizen and have answered calls and made sure to stay in communication

The collection agency contacted me stating that I have an unpaid debt and a summons from Ace Cash Express. I haven't had a loan in years from there and I don't think I have any unpaid debt as I settled any debts I had with them. They proceeded to get very aggressive and said, " We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Do you want me to call XXXX ( my sister ) or XXXX ( My Mom ). I can make it look like you're calling them. '' The person then called my family members spoofing my numbers so it looked like me. They also called me pretending to be several of my family members and then said they could " make my life a living XXXX. '' I tried to get them to stop, but they wouldn't even let me talk, the guy just kept yelling at me and harassing me and my family members. XXXX

Now 9 years later I keep receiving phone calls and harrassing letters threatening me again but this time with a civil lawsuit and reporting badly against my credit to the credit bureaus. I found ypur information when I starting researcging if this was happening to other people and found out that not only is it but there has already been an agreed upon settlement in XXXX. It is XXXX and they are still up tp the same tricks. I spoke with a lawyer about it years ago after I was done repaying and repaying and he said that a company will keep reselling a debt even after paid in full.

Hello, I got a call with threats to call a number if not they will file a case against me. I believed it was a scam and asked them to leave me alone because they said they couldn't provide any information to me. A week later, my sister texts me and told me someone called and asked for me, and left their name and number and asked for me to call back, if not there was going to be a case filed against me. I finally called and they told me I need to pay {$300.00} if not, the court will charge me {$1000.00}. I got intimidated and paid, but now I will be struggling to pay my rent. I am the only one working at home with XXXX kids to provide for due to Covid, and now I will be short with my rent. They said I need to pay in full and did not give me options to pay in payments.

I received a voicemail from a processing office advising that a criminal complaint was being filed for fraud, attempt to de-fraud a bank, and giving false information. They also started theyd be calling my employer and my supervisor to tell them I defrauded a bank and gave false information all over a payday loan for {$250.00} that was discharged in my bankruptcy last month. I told them multiple times that I had listed this in my bankruptcy and they kept saying that payday loans are dischargable debts bc they arent approved based on credit, so therefore they arent dischargable. It was very stressful until I realized it was a debt collector. Whats worse is that they left the SAME message and 2 of my family members phones making it sound like I was in huge trouble.

I spoke with Ace Cash Express today and they told me the interest was 1000 %. Which I fully read the loan agreement and that was NOT a part of it. Furthermore, they never sent a copy of the original loan agreement. I had to ask for it and NOTHING was the same as what I signed originally. I know for a FACT they changed my documents afterwards to a 1000 % interest and now it says I would be paying them greater than than the {$1000.00} I originally knew I would be paying over time. They are XXXX consumers. To date, I have paid the {$1000.00} I agreed to in the original documents they have since altered. Please help!

I went to Ace on XX/XX/26 for a {$700.00} loan and was given 3 XXXX 4 $ XXXX and 10 XXXX. When I went to the ATM machine about an hour afterwards it wouldnt accept all the bills so I tried another ATM machine about an hour later. Again it wouldnt take all the bills so I only deposited what it would take and spit 1 {$50.00} bill out. When I looked at it noticed its a counterfeit bill and when I tried going back to ACE they were already closed so I called first thing next morning. They pretty much told me it was my problem and I insisted to file a complaint but nobody is calling me back. That store needs to be investigated because they either accepted counterfeit money or have illegal activities going on. Please help me because {$50.00} is a lot for me to lose.

XXXX. They are making repeated calls to me every day and harassing me. XXXX. They sent me a letter in the mail saying I owe {$3000.00}. My original payment principal was {$1100.00}. They also charged me a late fee of {$380.00}, which is more than my installment payment amounts. This is outrageous and an attempt to take advantage of a customer. I want the payment lowered back to the principal immediately. My hours at work have been significantly reduced, and I am unable to pay the installment amounts and definitely will not be paying the extra fees they have tacked on. They need to work with me on payments I can afford over time, and they need to reduce the amount I owe by reducing the extra fees they tacked on. I also want the harassing calls to end.

My grandmother has the voicemail saved. So I get notice about the calls and I call them back. They never called me which I thought was odd. They tell me about the lawsuit and tell me to pay it. They said I was being sued for fraud and not being able to pay back the loan. I feel threatened as if they were making me give them money no questions asked.

Received a form letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating I have a serious delinquency with a loan company and legal action is being prepared. Due to the dollar amount being over {$100.00}, they have noted the account as possible fraudulent activity and malicious intent to commit fraud. I have never used this loan company ; I have not worked for the employer they state as being on the application in over 10 years. There is no reference of contact to dispute the debt, other than a phone number demanding a full payment ( payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Failure to make the payment could result in a summons to appear in court. My only recourse thus far has been to contact the loan company to verify if I have an account ; no account on file ( ACE Cash Express ).

I have never obtained a payday loan before, and I have never applied for a loan with Ace Cash Express. I immediately began to think my identity has been used to obtain a loan. I reached out to customer service, and was advised they would not be able to look into why that reason was emailed to me. I explained I need to speak with someone, and customer service directed me towards a corporate email. I emailed the corporate email and never got a response. Till this day, I have yet to hear from Ace Cash Express on my identity fraud issue, if their is any in place.

I have contacted the company and am in the process of filing the necessary paperwork to declare the loan fraudulent however the ease at with which the perpetrators executed this fraud is highly concerning as suggests that Ace Cash Express did not conduct even the minimal amount of due diligence on this extension of credit. My individual credit score is over 800 and have absolutely no outstanding debt do so it makes zero sense that I would seek a pay day loan. This is an obvious red flag for identity theft. This is evidence that Ace does not have even minimal know your customer processes and lax controls on extending credit.

I'm getting numerous of calls from this company thru out the day and they aren't very nice calls either. I stated I will pay but I'm still getting harassed and getting called out my name more then once. I asked to speak to a manager and just got switched to another representative. This company is very unprofessional and something needs to be done because I shouldn't be called a XXXX in any shape nor form. I literally been getting calls from this company since XX/XX/2021 all the way up to today which is XX/XX/2021. They said they mailed me a letter but had the wrong address and all I have is voicemails that they left after I told them I'll pay and somehow we got disconnected and I do Security so after I got off I was every name in the book.

I received a loan for XXXX and paid back {$2100.00} then the company tried to take another {$790.00} in fees on the last month of payment installs. I said no, I have already paid back the {$1000.00} plus another {$1100.00} in fees and I was not made aware of another {$790.00} in fees until the last month. I stopped payment on my checking account because of this. This is over 500 % in fees to pay. This loan was from 2014 and I have been getting harassing and threatening calls ever since from various collection agencies and such and now they are trying to get another {$3000.00} from me! Telling me they are taking me to court, reporting my social security and even hitting my credit score in a negative way. I need for this harassment to stop

A person by the name of XXXX XXXX working for a company by the name if XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted my family members about an urgent situation and stated to have me call them back. I was not read the fair collection rights statement and the company stated they would not be able to verify the supposed debt and that I would soon be given a summons to appear in court. My current address is public knowledge and I have not received anything from this company ( yet she stated I have " received certified letters '' from them at this address which is entirely false. If they are in deed a debt collection company, they have violated many laws. It is my gut that this company is attempting to scam people out of money and should be put out of business.

I have had to previously dispute a payday loan with Rise. I had to file a claim of fraud and send it to them to dissolve the issue. This is the first notice I have had of any debt owed to Ace Cash Express. I was then called by XXXX by XXXX who threatened to come to my work to serve me with court papers. I have not taken out a payday loan in over 10 years. They did not care that this was not taken out by me. I was told that I either had to pay the debt or they were taking me to court. I informed them that I was filing a complaint with CFPB and the FTC.

XX/XX/2019 I was looking for an installment unsecured personal loan. XXXX XXXX from ace cash Express sent a verification form link to my email. It was actually a XXXX form which didn't redirect me to a website. They asked for my bank username and password for verification. I don't give that kind of information out, nobody should. So he called and I missed it. I called back and talked to XXXX at XXXX-XXXX-XXXX a XXXX XXXX Texas number. He kept trying to get my username and password. I told him I didn't need a loan that required that. Later a phone from California called from XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. He had a strong XXXX accent but could understand he was ace cash Express trying to get my username and password again. Hung up on him.

I applied for a payday loan at ACE cash express and when I proceed with the application they did not tell me that they have to do a credit check because in the yellow pages it said no credit check but they are doing false advertising and if you applied several months or ago they will not ask you have any of your information has change they just give you a denied letter going off some old information and then storing your information so if you come back to reapply they still have your information they are not suppose to keep your information in their database because information on your report change over the months and years.

I have an installment loan with ACE cash. I went on loan to pay more than my upcoming payment. I had done this in the past without issue. The online payment page tells you to cancel your upcoming payment, to make a higher payment. Then refuses to allow you to do so. I called to make the payment but was not allowed to, however could pay the loan in full. When I called to do that a few days later my pay off amount went from XXXX to XXXX. Ace has made it next to impossible for me to pay this loan. When I asked for the corporate number they refused to give it to me. I am so upset by this company! It seems as though they want to make it hard for you to pay, so they can charge extra fees and interest. Please help.

With all this information at hand, they continually keep calling and threatening me with law suits, been served at my job by the police, and threatening to keep embarrassing me until they get money for a payday loan I never received or initiated in the first place.

I owe this company a debt and they have my correct contact information on file, including my direct work extension. Today they contacted a work number that is not listed on my account and disclosed the reason for calling. This put the person answering the phone in a position to be harassed about a debt they do not owe. Calling my job in this manner also constitute personal harassment. I asked the person how they got the number they called and they stated that it was an automatic dial and that they did not dial the number. This should not be possible without some deliberate tactics. My main concern is calling another person who has nothing to do with the debt I owe and harassing them to speak with me.

An unknown number called me today XX/XX/2019 at XXXX and left a message to call them back at ( XXXX ) XXXX. After calling the number the guy on the other line stated that he was an attorney and I was going to be sued and served papers to my home and or workplace on a specific date if I did not pay in full. He asked if I was trying to commit fraud and had all of my information without my permission. I have contacted the company to dispute the information and feel that I am being pressured to pay when I do not have the funds. They are trying to get a third party debt collector involved by saying they are attorneys when they really arent. Threats coming to my home and workplace is very concerning.

On XX/XX/31 I received a voice mail from a man that never stated what company he was with and threatened legal action. A few minutes later my father called and said my mother received the same voice mailx then the receptionist at work came in my office saying the same thing. I called the number back and the lady that answered would not give me a name of the company she was with. She stated my case was being processed to file suit against me on behalf of Ace Cash Express. She gave me an outrageous amount yet gave me an offer to settle out of court. She stated that once it was filed I " would be located and prosecuted ''. This intimidation and calling my family and work is beyond unacceptable.

I was contacted by XXXX who advised that he was a processor hired to deliver a court summons. He was hired by XXXX and their number is XXXX. I contacted this company to request that they not contact me at work and they were not cooperative. I was also advised by this company that I was being charged with a felony for intent to defraud a financial institution. I once again asked that they not contact me at work and contact me on my cell. The representative ( man ) that I spoke with asked me if I was " XXXX ''. He would not provide me with any additional contact information for their company. I disconnected the line due to the verbal abuse. My summons number according to this company is XXXX.

On XX/XX/2021, I applied online for a XXXX checking account ( the Account ) offered by Populus Financial Group , Inc. ( Populus ) in response to a promotional offer ( the Offer ) : SET UP DIRECT DEPOSIT TO EARN { {$100.00} } ( Exhibit A ). I was approved for the Account and I subsequently set up a direct deposit in fulfillment of the terms. When the bonus did not post, I reached out via email and was told that the Offer required Card Activation ( Exhibit B ), a condition that was clearly not present in the original terms. Therefore, I respectfully demand that Populus pay the bonus of { {$100.00} }. Otherwise, this matter will proceed to arbitration with all costs and fees taxed to Populus.

I began getting really harassing calls by ACE Cash Express, but it turned out to be a person working on behalf of them threatening to sue me and saying that I will be subpoenaed within the hour and all my bank accounts frozen. Then she was extremely aggressive to take payment and I told her I cant afford to pay off the loan. She then said my only option was biweekly payments of {$470.00} which is outrageous and I cant afford but of course I accepted because I cant afford to pay lawyers and go to court. I just want to make lower payments but she didnt care to listen. If theres anything that can help me please let me know, I could barely afford food right now.

on XX/XX/19 i went to the company and paid my loan in cash and the rep also charged my bank account at the same time. i submitted a dispute with my bank and the company and they won't help me because i don't have the receipt. they have cameras but refuse to check the tapes. even if i had the receipt it would show i paid with the debit card because the transactions were done on the same day. this is the second time this has happened. the first time i got my money back but this time they won't give it to me. so I've paid XXXX on a XXXX dollar loan and they claim i still owe XXXX. I'm about to lose my car because i can't pay my car note.

XXXX XXXX accused my father of being senile and not remembering walking into a loan company and taking out a loan. They threatened to take him to court and spoke to me abusively and disconnected the call. When I explained this was a mistake and not to accuse my father of something he did not do, the representative said my father was guilty until he can prove he did n't take out the loan. I was also accused of crying, which I was n't. The representative spoke over me, made threats and hung up. My father is XXXX years old, but not senile. However speaking to a person with such tactics would very likely cause harm to my father 's health.

I took out an {$800.00} loan. I was unable to pay the amount back in full. I made payment arrangements with them for me to pay online. I thought the date started XX/XX/2022 Ace Cash Express took out the {$800.00} plus {$74.00} fee out of my bank account after I revoked authorization on XX/XX/2022. I did not authorize this payment. They did not tell me this would be taken out. This caused me financial hardship. I attempted to take out another loan through them but only pre-approved for {$300.00} and them denied me for my orevious loan being late even though they broke payment arrangement by taking full amount. Unacceptable.

However, I have paid back in full all prior payday loan accounts. They could not tell me where the loan originated but they said I could pay them installments of {$590.00} or a lump sum of {$920.00}. I told them I dispute the claim and they said okay, then hung up. They did have my phone number, last 4 of my SSN and my current address. It seems like they obtained information from a previous loan that was paid in full, then tried to claim it was not.

I called the number they all gave me to figure out why they called my family. Well when I get on the phone with said case manager at XXXX I ask why he contacted 4 people in my family he then proceeds to yell loudly at me and call me and my family a liar even though my little sister who lives with me played the voicemail on her phone not 10 minutes before. These people are rude and obscene.

I received a call on XX/XX/2019 stating lawsuit would be filed against me in XXXX County for debt, and attempting to defraud a financial institution. They also called my father on XX/XX/2019. I called back number XXXX where I was told they would need to speak to " in house counsel '' to see if I could have a " deferred lawsuit '' since I am out of work on short term XXXX. They arranged payments of {$160.00} to pay off the almost {$700.00} owed. I did not research until after speaking to them and providing my debit card info that this was likely a scam or illegal for them to do.

I was awaiting a check in the mail. I received an email stating that the check had already been cashed. They emailed me a copy of the check with a my signature forged. The person that cashed the check cashed it at ACE Express on XXXX XXXX in XXXX Texas. Prior to her cashing the check at that location she went to another Ace On XXXX XXXX and was not allowed to cash the check because she did not have an identification or drivers license. So to shorten the story she was allowed to cash my check without Id and I am still waiting to receive my money as well as speak with someone with Ace.

I asked if they were collecting the debt they said they are going to take it to court if i did not pay today. I was never given my memorandum of fdca and when i said yes i will pay the debt they asked for me credit card. I asked them what their conpany address was and if they were a government agency. They did seem to be legit and where trying to scare me. I recorded the conversation and have evidence they tried to collect a debt without following the fair debt collections act.

I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that says I was past due on a pay day loan taken out on XX/XX/XXXX. The letter stated that {$1800.00} was outstanding and due. My husband passed away last summer and therefore neither he nor I took out this loan. I called ACE Cash Express and they explained that this loan was taken out online. I called again with my brother the next day and they refused to provide any information about the loan including where the money was actually sent. My brother informed them that the call was being recorded and they still refused to provide any information.

The loan in question, unfortunately defaulted. I had made payment arrangements with the collection agency after being threatened with a lawsuit. The payments now are being taken on a different date than originally agreed upon causing me to fall behind on more bills. I have Attempted on multiple occasions to reach them via telephone with no success. The collection tactics used were unnecessary. I was threatened with a lawsuit and advised that my employer would be notified of this issue. I was also threatened to be served with the lawsuit papers specifically at my place of business.

I did not write them a bad check at all and I do n't want to have criminal charges filed against me.

I have repeatedly requested written information about the debt and made it clear I was willing and able to negotiate the debt if they were able to prove they legitimately owned the debt, ceased to harass me about legal repercussions such as prison, ceased to ask for my social security number over the phone, and ceased to ask for my credit information in email and over the phone. They have never been able to display any kind of legitimacy, and I believe it is a scam, but if it is truly the owner of the debt then their tactics certainly fall under harassment.

Now Im receiving threatening calls telling me they are filing to the court and making this public. Also that they will go to my workplace and speak to my supervisor. They told me they will sue me for over {$3000.00}. This is very stressful I have no money in my bank account to pay. I asked for a month extension they said no because {$300.00} is not a lot. And they will not wait another month to file this. They told me good luck in court.

I have repeatedly contacted Ace Cash Express to inform them that I am not their client. I have repeatedly given them my contact information and other personal data to enable them to correct their records. However, I continue to receive correspondence from Ace.

Once ace cash express accepted my application they have now entered into a fiduciary relationship with me and have to act in my best interest. Since banks cant loan out their own stock pursuant to TITLE 12 USC 83, where could the money possibly come from. They are obligated to compensate me for the use of my SSN, since I havent received any benefit it is now an unauthorized use.

I had sent the company Ace Cash Express a letter stating I was revoking an ACH authorization they complied and then today I received an ACH debit on my checking account from an XXXX XXXX. First of all I do not know who XXXX XXXX is nor have I had any dealings with them and they took XXXX out of my checking account. I can not have people I do n't know taking money out of my account. This is absurd to me. I find it fishy because it is the same amount I had with Ace. I am a mother and I have been very sick and every little penny counts.

I, my brother, and my daughter ( on my phone ) recieved threatening phone calls from a supposed law office representing ACE Cash Express, that if I did not pay that I would be charged with attempting to defraud a financial institution. The phone caller said specifically on each message that I would be charged with fraud. That is defamation of character and illegal collection practices. When I did call them to try to make arrangements, the man on the phone was disrespectful and again threatened me with a felony for not paying a debt.

Hi, Someone tried to open a line of credit in my name with Ace Cash Express and was denied. I did not try to open any new lines of credit. The person that tried to get the line of credit also changed who I'm employed with on my credit. That was according to the XXXX XXXX report that I ran. I have made a police report with the XXXX County Sheriffs Office and am waiting on the report to submit to Ace Cash Express. I would like the hard hit on my cred report removed being that I did not ask for my credit to be ran. Thanks, XXXX XXXX

I made numerous phone calls to them and they told me they would not refund my money and there was nothing I could do. I will never do business with them again.

I 'm unable to make the large biweekly payments. I called Ace Cash while in good standing to negotiate lower payments in order to make sure the loan is being paid and to avoid default. I was told by the customer service representative that I would need to default on the loan in order to make payment arrangements and that my best bet would be to work with their collections department. They are setting borrowers up to fail by pushing them into default. I should not have to beg to pay off my debt.

They were very aggressive and used scare tactics to get me to pay the loan I had in full. They called several times prior to me making the payment. I made the full payment of {$320.00} on XX/XX/2018.

Ace Cash Express loaned {$400.00}. I lost my job unable to pay loan. They came and got my 2000 XXXX XXXX and said they were going to sell it. I have never received any notice of what it sold for, so I think they kept the money over the {$480.00} that they were owed. I paid {$2200.00} for that vehicle prior to them stealing my vehicle.
