      Hello, I received a call from a Courier service stating that I will be served at my employer or home for a past due loan from Check N Go. The date was for March 2, 2016. I have sent a few emails to Check N Go to see what this was about. I have paid on loans and have not received anything stating otherwise. The check n go location has been closed for a few year's but I did not leave anything unpaid. I would be extremely embarrassed to be served at my work place. I have not received any response from Check N Go. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.. My family is going through alot and definitely do not want any scammers to make thing's worse. Thank you for your help,

      I am writing as I am wanting to confirm whether or not the correspondence I have received via text/phone call is legitimate and requires resolution. I have been contacted by a company under the name "*** **********," whom was reaching out to me on behalf of Check 'n Go. They stated that I have an outstanding balance on a loan originated with the creditor in 3/2016, and that they've supposedly made several attempts to contact me by mail/phone. However, I had not received any correspondence from them until they contacted my ex-husband earlier today (10/21/2021), wanting to speak with me. They are threatening to file a civil judgment against me starting 10/25/2021 unless action is taken; for the record, I advised the case mgr I spoke to that I would be happy to make payments toward any delinquent balances with the creditor, provided that it is legitimately outstanding and requiring payment/resolution. The case manager stated it would not be possible to wait until after 1/1/2022 to begin payments, despite me stressing to her that that's the soonest that I could begin reimbursement for the balance. She then hung up on me when I stated that I wanted to secure legal counsel for review of this information, and then I received 3 texts from a ###-###-#### # with case information and the statement that they would be serving documents at a previous employer/my current home address requiring signatures. The case # for reference is ******, and the phone # they asked me to contact is ###-###-####. Is there a way that you can confirm the legitimacy of this filing information, so that I know if I truly need to get an attorney involved for legal advice/resolution? Thank you in advance for any help that you can offer me.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Please also note - I have reached out to my legal counsel for research into this matter, and will be resolving from this end as well. I was advised to check my credit history, and if there is any active account with Check N Go still reporting as a collection, it would have to be less than 4 yrs from the date of charge off filing for this *** ********** firm to even pursue legal action against me. If it is now outside of that 4 yr window, there's very little legal action that can be pursued against me (provided this is an actual account - I have yet to find this on my credit report as of yet.)

       

      Thanks again for your help!

      On Friday, October 1, 2021, I received a call from someone named "Carly" claiming to work for "Location Services" in San Diego, informing me that I had multiple criminal complaints against me. I called the number she provided me, and spoke to a woman who did not give her name, but indicated she was calling on behalf of Check N Go to inform me that I have three criminal charges pending against me. I took out a payday loan with Check N Go in 2013, which was paid in full in July 2014. I took out another loan with Check N Go in September 2014, but due to unexpected financial hardship, missed a few payments. I eventually filed bankruptcy, which included the Check N Go debt, which was discharged Nov. 21, 2017. Now, almost four years after the discharge of the debt, those claiming to work on behalf of Check N Go are contacting me and my family members to collect the debt. When I informed them doing so was illegal, the woman threatened to send the sheriff after me and hung up the phone.

      The response provided by Check n Go stated that the check should have been received no later than 10/7/21. We are now almost a week passed that date and the check has not yet arrived. In addition to this, Check n Go has stated that they don't have any other way to process the refund, which is also unacceptable, as Check N Go has a physical office located 10 minutes from my house, which I have visited multiple times to request the refund to be process and it can be process that way, giving me cash for the refund, if Check N Go wanted. After almost 3 months of waiting it has become evident that Check n Go has no real intention of making the refund, which I don't find any other way to put it other than they are stealing my money. I am not asking for anything other than what they owe. During the time that I had the loan with them, they were very efficient and quick in taking the automatic payment from my account, even starting the process the day before the due date. For these reasons their answer is unacceptable and I would like to move forward to the next step.

    Some consumers may elect to not publish the details of their complaints, some complaints may not meet BBB's standards for publication, or BBB may display a portion of complaints when a high volume is received for a particular business.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
