I received a phone call early in dec 2016 from this company saying that i owed money from a few years ago for a payday loans and that i owed $700. I told them it must've been fraud because i never got a payday loan and that my some of my checks were stolen, but she told me that couldn't happen becuase the person taking the loan would have to show employer pay stubs. Well... That's impossible since i'm self employed and have been for 15 years. So she quickly hung up the phone. Then a couple of weeks later i get a call saying that i have a credit card that needs to be paid and that they would settle for $2000 or they would process paperwork to take me to court. I thought okay, maybe that's possible so i set up $500 payments to be taken from my debit/mc. When they took the first installment something didn't seem right so i called the bank to get more information, which there wasn't except for this sta check processing, depew, ny. When i looked for them online i saw this outscam and closed the card so they couldn't take any more money. They called when they tried to take more money and told me they were going to process paperwork to take me to court. Still waiting... When i thought about it more, the girl on the phone sounded a lot like the one telling me i took out a payday loan! i guess they figured they were going to get money out of me one way or another. Unbelievable!!! if i get any other calls saying i owe them money they're going to have to talk to my lawyer!!
I was contacted in August 2014 by someone from STA Check Processing stating that I was about to be sued for a check I had written in 2006 at a check advance store and did not pickup. Given the length of time and realizing that I had some financial difficulties during that time wanted to clear my record (even though I didnt' recall still oweing). Over the last 7 years I had been working very hard to clear all old debts and get my credit in excellent rating (above 750) and did not want this to affect it. So, I agreed to a settlement of $595 to be paid to STA Check Processing on 8/29/2014 and it cleared. However, I never received a letter stating that this debt was paid in full. Fast forward a year and a few months...November 2015, I received a voicemail from a "local processor" that I will be served papers at my home and place of employment for an action that has been brought against me. As I racked my brain to try and think of what this could possibly be...I decided to call the number back because I did not want anyone to come to my place of employment. Upon calling the number 866-676-2418, it was identified as Check & Credit Reporting. I provided the reference number from the voicemail and the man said he needed to transfer me to the legal department. A lady named Sherrie, ext 113, was very rude telling me I needed to pay this today or they would send the summons and I would have to go to court and pay almost $3,000. Ironically I was on jury duty and could not really talk to her, but I informed her that I did not know what this was about (which I began to think it was the same as STA) and I was not going to provide her any financial information or agree to settle /make a payment over th phone today. She began to tell me how she would then go ahead and proceed and I could contest in court. I told her that if you are telling me that you can't tell me who this is from, provide me a bill or anything then you go right ahead and do what you need to do. After getting home I begin to research my records and located a copy of the payment to STA from my credit card and although I didn't have the bill I was sure it was the same. So, I called my bank to have them send me a copy of the bill and the payment information for my records. Then I begin to look up STA and see all the fraud reports! All I can say is I'm really ticked off - bring it on STA/Check & Credit Reproting or who/whatever you really are...I can't wait for her to call me back so I can inform her that I am going to file a lawsuit against them for fraud and defemation of character if they contact my place of employment.
