    This is my second complaint. This company is saying I owe a debt from years ago for a loan with *******. First of all I have never received a letter or email from the company. This company *** Mediation services has no website and three different company names (LCS, Long Consulting, and *****. Yes, I made a payment. But they called me at work I got scared as I have a family to take care of. They prey on vulnerable people. I have been trying to get in touch with LOANNOW and they don't even have a legitimate phone number; it takes you to Optima Tax Relief when you call their listed number.I have spoken with several attorneys who let me know what they leave on your voicemail (seen in all complaints left) is not accurate. Also, looking through the complaints, they have some extremely unprofessional responses to people. A legitimate business that wasn't trying to scam you, would not react this way, especially on their BBB page.

    I received a phone call today, stating that I would be served papers either at work or at home if I did not call to settle this debt so I called them and set up a payment plan because I have taken out payday loans in the past and its hard to tell whats real and whats fake. That being said this company does not have a website and I cannot find anything legitimate about them online. They scared the c*** out of me while I was at work and so I made a decision to make a payment. The company that theyre calling on behalf of apparently **** even open anymore so theres nobody that I can talk to you on there and to see if they actually sold the debt to this company. Im looking to get my money back and for them to close out this account.

    I am rejecting this response because: I can not find anything legitimate about your company. No website, no address, and yes in the moment I made a payment because I was scared, but the loan youre calling about doesnt even have a phone number anymore. Also the message that was left for me said I would get served papers at work; I have never received one phone call, letter in the mail, or email about this debt previously, I checked my email and talked to my neighbors and husband. The voicemail also said I had to have HR or a witness with me to get served but that is not true. I am a hard-working person who made some financial mistakes in the past, but I am also very trusting and Im sick of getting scammed by the same people. I live paycheck to paycheck. I cannot afford to just give my money away when I cant even get in touch with the original creditor, please refund my money and close this case and I will drop it. I am sick to my stomach and cant not sleep due to this. If you have contact information for the original creditor you can share that with me.


    Sincerely,

    ******* *****

    Complaint: 23126217

    I am rejecting this response because: I don't feel comfortable calling anymore. Especially when you are responding in all caps. I am not trying to get out of paying a legitimate debt, but this does not feel right and from other comments on your BBB page and research i've found online others have felt the same. You're right I didn't ask yesterday; but if you can, put yourself in my shoes. I am at work, and I get a message  from a number that is different from the number I am supposed to call back saying I am going to be served papers at work and need my HR department with me or at home and I'll need a witness. I call back to get more info and yes you were very nice on the phone but my actions were out of extreme fear and worry. I let my fear push aside my questions in my head like, why is this happening because I have never received any other correspondence from you or this creditor. You didn't answer with a business name, and knew it was me without verifying first. Also as opposed to asking me to verify my address and date of birth, you told me. Again I interacted with you but I was just so scared. I am trying to fix my finances in order to give my family a good life and as I am a trusting person, make the wrong decisions sometimes out of fear. I can't find any information on your company and as I said, can't get in touch with the original creditor. If you can give my their contact information here I will contact them directly.  I would also like a refund processed, I live paycheck to paycheck and even what I paid you yesterday was a stretch for my budget. I am appealing to your humanity here.

    Sincerely,

    ******* *****

    Just received information that this company *** Mediation Services is really Long Consulting Services in *******. This is a complaint against LCS MEDIATION SERVICES supposedly located at this address: ***************************************************. They first called my cell 2 weeks ago and when I answered this woman said I owed them money. When I asked her for what, she screamed and said I was going to jail. Last week the week of January 13- 25, 2025, called my work which is a school and left threatening messages to me about, they would be sending someone out to my place of work and I need to have the HR person present and 2 types of ID. I called this number ************** and spoke to a Mr. ***** ******** and told him that he was sending threatening to a school. He told me knew what type of car I drove and said it and called out my bank and I never responded. He called me unchristian, a liar, and several other names. He emailed me a letter and it said that I owed money to a online company called *******. I told him and sent a scanting letter saying that I have never opened this account and to stop calling me and my school or he will be prosecuted. I need to know is this scam and what or who I need to contact. This is very uncalled for and I need retributions for the embarrassment and undue stress this has caused me. I also asked for proof of their lie. A debt validation letter.

    I have tried to contact this business for 3 days straight, multiple times a day, left numerous voice messages for them to contact me back and no response. I paid $1250.00 to close an account that went to collections and have the proof in my bank statements it was paid but need a letter showing proof the Maurices account is closed in a letter preferably emailed to me. I have received numerous calls stating it is NOT closed by other debt collectors when I did indeed pay it off. I am requesting a letter to be emailed to me showing the closure.

    This company calls me at work and on my cell phone with a recorded message threatening to send someone to my home or job to serve paperwork. They said they need a witness and my ID whenever they come to serve. However, they don't say who they are calling for and what this is about. They also say a claim has already been filed against me in my county. That is not true. I have no claims against me. I need these people to stop calling me on my cell and especially at my place of employment with these bogus claims. This is illegal to contact my HR ***** Please stop calling or say who you are calling for.

    They have contacted my mother and myself and claim to have a claim filed against me which had never happened and sent me a fraudulent agreement in which they spelled my name wrong. They attempted to charge me for a debt that was discharged with my bankruptcy. I stopped payment and refused their calls but they called me threatening extra charges and even texted my mother. Theyve threatened my employment and more. Theyre trying to charge me $1000 for something I have already settled.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  However, maybe their recorded message should name the person they are looking for instead of leaving vague, threatening messages on the phone number they happen to call?  If they would have said this message is for *******************, I would have called them back to let them know it's a wrong number.  I have no problem doing that.  And, I never would have had to get BBB involved in this matter.  But, I thank you for your help.

    I keep getting bot call from this company. They don't explain anything over a message. They are threatening to go to my HR which is illegal. I have no idea why they are calling. I do not believe I am in debt. I have not been served papers. I feel there are harassing me. I don't know whether it is a scam or bot calling. I am not calling number because there are to many scammers out there. I have read plenty of complaints against this company and want to file a complaint because I receive to phone call a day, and never have received any letters in the mail (correctly did the change of address), not sure why I am being harassed. They are calling from number that are not associated with there business.
