ACS INC Debt Collectors or Scam?

[Anonymous]

Back in 2012 I made the mistake of taking a payday loan and it went through, ok that matter was resolved, fees were paid and everything. This is the time 2 years later that I keep getting phone calls about a "complaint that was filed against me", emails from ACS and this phone numbers you mentioned. I'm so over this people. I tell them it was resolved and why did you wait 2 years to charge me, why wait so long? Lol it seems it's hard to get rid of these people. They have no regard for peoples health, the first time they called me back in 2012 after I know I paid back I almost got a anxiety attack because "I didn't want to be persecuted" come on not even the IRS can prosecute you without first giving you a Chance to pay. These people are sick, back then I blocked my bank account and I just unblocked it to pay them back and then I closed it. If you are so legit you should have my actual address and be able to mail me final letters.

Amount Due: $890.40

Case File#: SD/N-10632

Loan Company: - ACS INC

Dear Debtor,

Our company (ACS Inc) has authorized us to recover the full amount due to them. As we put your Social Security Number into our National Checking Database System we found that you have been never charged for a fraud activity & that’s the reason Court House has decided to give you an opportunity to take care of this issue outside the Court without having a report on your Credit History and Social Security Number.

We regret that if we do not receive your response within the next 48 hours, we shall have no alternative but to take action through your local County Court to recover the amount due together with court costs and legal fees which is approximately $4209.89.

As you are a defaulter on this credit united legal investigation bureau has stated 3 serious allegations against you and they are:

(1) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION

(2) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD

(3) THEFT BY DECEPTION

If Court action is taken and Judgment / Decree obtained against you to recover the sum due, we may need to ask the court to make one of the following orders should the debt remain unpaid:-

• Warrant of Execution(Exceptional Attachment Order). Seizure and sale of movable non-essential assets / property by a County Court Bailiff or Sheriff Officer

• Attachment of Earnings base(Earnings Arrestment). Deduction from your wages by your employer or arrestment of part of your salary to satisfy the debt

The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows:- 

You agreed to return the funds from the aforementioned income advancement as per contract. And as per the agreement the funds have yet to be returned and the collateral has proven to be null that is to say of no value.

At present, ACS INC is seeking either of the following remedies:-

All funds to be returned as per terms of initial contract 

Dear Customer as we were investigating your profile, we found you to be a genuine person so it is our duty to help you out but for that we need some right answers from your side. Also we would like to know your intentions?

If you have recently settled this account, please contact us immediately to avoid further action. Otherwise, payment options are set out overleaf or alternatively E-mail us now to pay or agree a repayment plan with us.

Again if you want to resolve this matter than contact us immediately thru e-mail (From Monday to Friday 09:30 AM to 05:00 PM EST)

Note: - The mode of the payment would be only through Money Pak as we will not accept any visa/master due to insecure payment gateway. E-mail us right now in order to make a payment and freeze down this case.

If you do not take immediate action:

We will be forced to download this case against you and once it is downloaded the creditor has entire rights to inform your employer and your references regarding this issue and the law suit will be the next step which will be amounting to $4209.89 and will be totally levied upon you and that would be excluding your attorney charges and the due amount pending on your name.

LOL - from a gmail addy???? Now THATS funny right there. Geez there is so much wrong here....

1. They have not sent you a legal dunning notice, only a threatening email.

2. They have overtly threatened criminal action which is itself a FDCPA violation:

(1) VIOLATION OF FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION

(2) COLLATERAL CHECK FRAUD

(3) THEFT BY DECEPTION

This has scam written all over it. Until they send you a LEGAL dunning notice, tell them to go pound sand.

I received this exact e mail.  I questioned them by e mail as I have applied recently for a loan on line, but they were all fraudulant so I never got one.  However I was not thinking and put my SSN and bank acct # on one that was going to direct deposit to my account.  Of course they never did and I was so mad at myself for putting that out there.  I called the "company".  The man who answered could not even tell me who the "loan" was from.  He finally said it was in July .  I had a $300 cash deposit in August, but at that time I had just sold a house and had never even thought of applying for a loan.  This makes me think they were able to somehow get into my account and see this deposit!?!?!  I have no idea.  The man who answered could barely speak english and said he would be taking me to the courthouse if I did not pay.  Really?? Then I read back through the email and saw all the gramatical and tense and basic punctuation errors.  I believe these swindlers have just enough information from the application to appear that they are valid.  I told him to ....well never mind.  I do not expect to receive a summons to go to the courthouse, but I will never put my info out like that again.  I will just drive to the bank for a loan.
