Things didn't even sound right with this anyway. First of all, I don't recall getting any payday loan or anything over the phone for a long time, especially not after filing bankruptcy.
Nobody has ever contacted me about any payday loan or anything from 2013. That sounded suspicious.
Then they told me on the phone that I used Mike Arndt as one of my references. That is a big red flag there! Believe me, if I ever do get a loan, Mike Arndt is the absolute last person I'd even consider using as reference! He doesn't like me very well and I am not a big fan of him! I don't trust him and I know he wouldn't give me a good reference anyway!
The other reference they said I used is someone I don't even know at all!
All they told me over the phone was that the name of their company was: "Absolute". OK, Absolute what? They said they are a collection agency. Another thing that sounded suspicious about this was they told me on the phone that They were going to sue me. Then the lady I talked to told me, "Good luck in court!"
Why is someone going to tell the person they are going to sue: "Good luck in court?"
Things just didn't sound right at all, so, I did some research online about the company. I didn't find much information about them online. But, I did see one or two websites that said it was a scam. One other site that just said it was a collection agency and a website for an Attorney who fights this collection agency all the time. It said, "If Absolute Collections is calling and harassing you, call me, I can help."
So, I called the Attorney, he confirmed my suspicion that it was a scam. He told me to report them to the Florida Attorney General.
The Attorney didn't charge me anything and all it took was a 5 minute phone call.
I am going to report them to the Attorney General, police, Better Business Bureau, Ripoffreport.com, Yellopages.com, Google and any place else I can think of.
