I owed for a payday advance as well. I received several threatening phone calls and was told to buy a prepaid credit card and call them back and pay. I called corporate office of California check cashing and made a payment on 10.18.11 and I receive calls from national attorneys still collecting. Last week I gave them the conf # of payment and was told it was cleared. Then today 11.4.11 I receive a voicemail on my cellphone from a Madison Wells from National Attorney and then she calls my work( after they have been told everyday for 3 weeks not to call) I advise her I paid it and she immediately got rude and wouldn't let me talk, threatening me and saying that I would be served a subpoena. She started saying profanities and insulting me. I told her not to call my work.. Hung up. She called back to job and started saying something and I hung up.. She called again and asked to speak to HR dept and I told her no and hung up. She called right back and pretended to make an appt at my job( work at a doctors office) I knew it was her and asked for her name and she gave a fake name and I asked reason for appt and she said a check up( my doctor is a workers' comp doctor and does evaluations only) advised her not to call again and this was harassment.. Hung up again , she called again and said i was rude and wanted to speak to my boss.. Huh!? This collection agency has lost their mine! I filed a complaint with the FTC and BBB. My next step is the attorney generals office. I just wanted to let ya know you aren't alone . I can't believe this company is still in practice.. They have clearly violated several laws in the debt collection act.
