I recieved a letter in the mail regarding NSF fraud from progressive legal group claiming delinquency of a installment loan from a company called ezmoney. They have the last four of my social my address and claimed i opened this loan while working at a job i havent worked at for 10 years or so. They also state if not payed they are taking me to trial and have witnesses stated on the letter, one being my mothers name and my neices name to whom i dont even speak with. They claim they are filing a lawsuit. I have searched the internet for any other experiences similar and their are multiple people that have recieved the same letter. They also state at the bottom of the letter my credit score which is not correct and that they will be doing a hard inquiry on my credit.

I've received a letter via USPS, not a certified letter, just in a white envelope. The letter states that due to severe delinquency of previous installment loan originating with EZMONEY (a subsidiary of EZCORP) the account is reviewed for immediate legal action (filing a lawsuit) against me. I've never taken a loan or borrowed any money of any kind from a company like this. It's a total scam. They're using public information and extremely old work history to try and exploit money from me. These people need to be stopped.

Called my cell phone number and provided me with my first and last name. Then said it was an attempt to collect a debt. I have no idea who Easy Corp is and have no debt with anyone. I was threatened by the scammer stating they would be garnishing my pay check.

They called my phone regarding my son. Said they were a process server needing to schedule time to deliver summons to appear because of lack of response. The address they supposedly sent the notice to was 20 years ago. My phone is in no way linked to my 40+ y/o son but that's what they called. After some wrangling I spoke to a Dillon James. He said my son was being sued for $5567.19 for an outstanding debt to Wells Fargo FROM 2009, this is 2024! They claim he had an overdraft of $2694.91 & w/penalties and interest it's now $5700.00. I said he/we (they only used my address) never got ANY notifications, let alone an initial charge. He said, in that case, he can send this back to his attorneys to try to get rid of the penalties and we can deal with it outside of court. I said "Fine. You do that and when we get the paperwork we'll have our attorney look at it. We will require proof of the debt." He suddenly got all pissy and said "Forget it, you can argue it in front of the judge!". The thing is, there are statute of limitations on debt collection and this was 15 years past that time. Plus, once an institution charges off a debt, they can no longer add interest or penalties. What does trouble me is that they asked him to verify his DOB but had the last 4 of his SSN. Plus they had our addresses and information on an account that he actually had at one point. As an accountant I don't fall for scams ever, but this one had me concerned enough to contact my attorney just in case. The phone number they provided to call was 1-866-880-3418

Stated they were collecting money that was an unpaid "payday" loan for a company EZMoney. That they were going to file a lawsuit if I did not pay. Stated it was filed in an unnamed US District Court. The letter had a very small "Filed" stamp on it stating it was filed "Internally" on September 16, 2023.

A debt collector called asking for Jarred Cook to call 866-551-0880. I called to inform them that Mr. Cook had my cell phone number about 10 years ago. In a nasty tone she then said oh it is you we are look for regarding a pay day loan on May 20, 2016 using my SS number and a DOB near my DOB. She said it was for $2,398.00 and it has a payoff amount of $550.58. I told her that I did not get a loan in 2016 and have never heard about it before. She said she is going to send it to my Credit Bureau report. I told her I think she is scamming me and I am going to report her and she hung up or did not say anything further.
