      My ******** received voicemails stating that she owes a large sum of $ for a payday loan from 2013 with a company called EZ-Money. The person who called stated they were with ABA. When we asked what *** stood for we were told it stood for *******, ************************* by one of the *** in the call center (we could hear them laughing in the background). We were hung up on when we pressed for detailed information about the situation. We called back & again I asked what *** stood for. This time I was told that *** was the name of the company & that it didnt stand for anything. I ******d ******** ************************* and found that theyre located in *******, **. The number that called us was based out of ******, **. We called the Phoenix number & got the exact same person as the previous call. They are quick to let you know that youre going to be hauled in into court. They are also quick to let you know that it is not their job to provide you with any information concerning your situation, they are simply there to collect your money. After being hung up on the second time, I began a ****** search & have read enough to know that this is 100% a scam.

      Over a decade ago was in a bad place financially and my only option was a payday loan. The loan was repaid and when I no longer wanted to receive anymore funds they have continued to harass me and filing falsified documents to pressure me into paying a debt I dont owe. Here is the text I received today This is ******** ***** reaching out to ***** ***** in reference to pending case #POG2282952. If you have any questions, concerns or you're not sure why you are receiving this message. Please reach out to me directly in my office at ************ and ask for ********. Reply Stop to opt out.

      I received a call with a voicemail saying it was from a company called United Legal Services about a pending civil suit that is scheduled to be filed. They are saying that I owe EZmoney/EZCORP. If I didn't pay it they were going to sue me and put a lien on my bank account. When I called them they told me I owed over $700 for a loan from 2008 and if they took me to court I would have to pay over $4000. I told them that I didn't know about the loan they were referring to, and the only l oan I ever had was less than what they mentioned, and it was paid in 20010-2012. I also informed them that I was out of the country when at the time of the loan The lady said she would try to get an extension and that I would need to provide a release of liability and would call me back later in the week. When I received the next call the young lady had left a message she said she was with *************************** and that if I would like to resolve this all they need to see is a release of liability. I have tried to find a number to call EZmoney/EZCORP but have had no luck with that.

      I receive this one page " lawsuit " yesterday. I never have/do any business with EZMONEY/EZcorp. I never take a loan with any company that I did not pay. They stated I changed my bank, that's inaccurate. I've been with my bank for years. Although I worked for ***************************. It was over 12 years ago. I never have anything to do with ***** **********. I could or would never use the name on any loan application. The entire information in this so call lawsuit is inaccurate and fraudulent. I attempted to call the so call law firm but got no response. I called EZMONEY, they didn't answer either. I am not sure if I should report this to the police or what actions I can take. Please help.

      On July 26, 2024, I obtained a loan on my iPad in the amount of $225.00. The monthly service charge is $56.25. On December 4, 2024, I made a service charge payment of $56.25 (bank statement uploaded), which extended my loan until January 1, 2025. I then received some money and ended up retrieving my iPad on December 6, 2024, and was charged another service charge of $56.25. My issue is that basically the $56.25 I paid to have the loan extended to January 1, 2025, was just kept by the store and I feel should have been credited and not deemed as a waste because I retrieved my item way before January 1, 2025. From my knowledge I was not advised that if you retrieve your item prior to extended deadline, you just lose all that money. Doesn't seem like very ethical or fair business practices. I am just looking for a refund of $52.50 (not a store credit).

      I received a demand letter from a company called ******************* saying that I owe EZmoney $1000. If I didnt pay it they were going to sue me and they ccd the US District Court.. they furthermore threatened to contact my family members.. When I called them they told me that I owed the money from 2012. I told them I didnt know what they were talking about and I needed documentation proof. The lady said OK and hung up. When I looked further into this company arrowhead legal group on the letterhead, it said theyre out of *****************, when I called the number multiple times it was a answering machine and you cant even leave voicemail because it says that the box is full.. The letter has a payment portal in which I accessed and the address there is ****************** with a different phone number and thats the number I called in which the lady I spoke with answered. Not sure whats going on but when I googled Ezmobey/EzCorp. theres a bunch of scams being reported about this so I believe thats what this is and thats why Im making this complaint.

      I have received multiple phone calls, and letters from people that say they are with some mediation service . For non payment of a loan that was unpaid in 2009. I never took out a loan. They said because of some bill that ***** had passed , a lot of research has been done pulling up these non payments. They have called multiple of my family members and they are saying that they have filed a complaint with ********************************* and If I dont pay then my family will be summoned to court and my wages will be garnished. From the email I received the most recently it came from this email *************************** this is the information it has listed Strategic Mediation Services ************************************************************. ***** TEL: ************ , and says I owe $1163 it says the original lender is EZ money . They previously told me that if I didnt not make a payment within 24 hours my wages would be garnished

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Everything I have received in some way has ******* attached to it. I have paid money,Not only me, but multiple members of my family have been harassed and threatened of legal consequences if the money was not paid. So just simply saying that yall do not collect debts is not acceptable when ur company is doing this to people

      I was contacted regarding the collection of a debt that I did not take out and was threatened with court action. When I asked for documentation regarding the validity of the debt, the individuals said that they were just a service hired by the company to reach out and inform of the impending court action but offered me the option of settling with a one time payment over the phone.

      I received a letter stating a lawsuit against me for defaulting on a loan with EZMONEY/EZCORP that I never took out. It does not list a date of any kind as to when it supposedly occurred. The supposed amount is $1280.39. The letter is from ****************** in ************, **. Its infuriating how much personal information they were able to find and list on the letter. In researching this, I see that the same scenario by the same company is happening to others- with the scam group actually reaching out to family and friends about the fake debt. Im very concerned about it ruining my credit and how far theyll take this. I will be notifying the police today as well.
