They called me told me they were INVESTIGATION OF CRIME OUT OF JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. They told me they were calling to settle a debt with one of the companies I owed. I asked them who they mumbled something and said payday loan. I stated that the pay day loan from payday one is paid. They stated you requested a loan and it was put into your account. We will see you in court. I came home and there was a message and phone number. I called them they answer how can I help you. I asked him I had a call I owed a bill, I would like to know who I owed. He mumbled something and said pay day loan. I asked him to spell it for me. He replied that I owed the company and I need to pay them. I asked for the phone number of the company he told me he can not give it to me. I told him how you expect me to pay something I know nothing about. He told me in two days te police will come to my house and get me.
I called back and he answered i have talked to him around 2 times with no answers so I asked to be speak to a manager he said he was the manager and he will see me in court not to call back. I called back asked to speak to the man that left the message nicholas. he asked was I me I told him no i was sharon davis nicholas got on I told him who I was the manager got back on and said call better business bearu cause I calling on you. I called back got a lady I asked her the name of the company and that is when she said cash today i asked her to look up my account and see who I owed she said she coul not. I said to her you work there Just see who I owe.
See this whole time I thought they were a agency collecting a debt. She told me I would have to talk to the person who called me. I told her I could not understand him. She asked me my name and told me to hold on that is when the manager got back on and said Why are you doing this. I told him your sending the police after me and I don't know why. He told me cause I refuse to pay my debt. I once again asked who I owed he said tjf corporation I asked the phone number he said he could not give it to me cause iwas very ignorant to him. I told him I was upset because your not giving me the information I need. I asked him the name of his company he told me. Investigation OF CRIME DEPARTMENT TGF CORPORATION in JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. HE TOLD ME NOT TO CALL AGAIN IN 2 DAYS THE POLICE WILL PICK ME UP.
I am very upset because I know I paid those pay day people I owned and they deposit them into your bank we can get bank statements They never told me what day it was. I felt nervous about the police coming until I looked it up on this computer and see everyones remarks. If that lady would'nt have told me the name cash today I would not know what was going on. I was worried about the police coming

All this started by checking my mail and as I click to open or to open the website it atomatically agrees to pay. Im sure when the payday loans were offered back then I had requested to borrow from one. Well it lead to a huge argument and threats at my work. I was told I was going to be arrested or taken to go to court. The best one was the message from my co worker that almost lead to loosing my goverment job. I have 24 hours or I will be arrested.
Well this was from 2005 I was going threw my account and putting all my bills on dirrect withdrawl. As my back called to notify me that they were changing names thats when I got a call to be arrested for no payment or other threats. My heart almost stopped as I was determined to set my application to sherrifs department. Theres no way I will have anything showing that I owe.
I payed them off gave my account account number then I have another call later next year I closed my account to cover my tracks due to the fact I never received anything threw the mail regarding my payment. I emedialtly changed my account number and Now I get a phone call again saying I cant make arragement to pay the total by payment they will directly withdrawl 40.00 from my account. I just didnt want to put my carrer on hold so now Im doing the research.
I think these guys need to be charged for harrasment. I want my e-mail to be the last of these guys. I just cant believe how I ended working two jobs to get payment resolved and now Im getting calls again from the same people how I know they all sound from another country. I asked for numbers and supervisors and they had background playing like phones ring. I asked for adress no they just wanted to call my office.
I almost had a heart attack. I was depressed. I was robbed and humiliated.

In 2005 I took a 200.00 loan with cash today ltd,the conversation over the phone was that this loan would be paid off in 3 months, 40.00 interst every 2 weeks and 50.00 towards the loan every 2 weeks.to this day this loan was never paid off, I paid over 3200 on this loan, 40.oo every 2 weeks on interest gor 200.00 dollars.
I call the number I had from my e-mail from them, I told this lady who I couldn't understand her english that I wanted a copy of all the debits they have taken from my account, due to I was going to file a chapter 13. she told me that they don't give any documents or statements, she was screaming that she didn't care about the chapter 13 and that for me to pay off the loan, she stated I owe 305.00. I told her how do I owe 305.00 when I already paid 3200 for a short term loan of 200.00 dollars. She started to scream and told me that if I didn't pay off and I put this debt in my chapter 13, they will contact my employer, my co-workers and file a criminal suit against me. She also refused to give me there address or a fax number where I can fax them a letter revoking any futher payments from my account.
This has been a scam off ilegal loaning, I have been stressed and will be emotionally distresed as they start making harrasing phone calls to my job, I will have to close all my bank accounts because they don't follow any laws and they will clean my bank account. I am also being force to pay an amount that I don;t owe them. I work for a big hospital and I can't be getting harrasing calls or calls to my peers.

I got in trouble with the whole payday loan thing in 2007. I eventually had to close out my bank account. One of the lenders I must have taken a loan out with was Cash Today. A man calling himself Craig called me today and began yelling at me about what I owed. He said I took out a 200 loan and now I owed 2,000 and he was going to keep calling back until I paid them. He called me at work. He would not let me get a word in. He started threatening me, all of this while I'm at work.
I asked for something in writing about what I owed so that I could give the information to a debt consolidation company I am working with. He said they couldn't do that because it was a verbal contract. He demanded to speak to my manager. I hung up on him a couple of times. Finally, he told me to call the customer service number. They also told me they couldn't give me anything in writing. So I got their fax number and address, typed up a cease and decist letter faxed it over and will be sending it to their address certified mail.
I tried to be discrete while I was at work, but I'm sure people heard me on the phone with this guy. It was quite embarrasing. I offered to work with them through my debt consolidation company, but they didn't want to hear it.

I received a call today from Cash today limited stating that I had received a loan from them back in 2006 and now the interest had accumulated and I owe them 5,000 and they will attach my wages if I don't pay. I asked why, if I owed them money, they are just now requesting payment. The person called me about 6 times and I kept telling them to send me something in writing and I will review. They continued to call and harass me until I finally took the phone off the hook and laid it on my desk. I wanted to make you aware because this company may be calling and harassing others as well.

Harassed me at work everyday until arrangements were made. Took money out of my account that was not authorized. Threatened to call the police, Human Resources, and my Supervisor. When I tried to work out arrangements, I was hung up on 4 times. I would call back and speak to someone else and the same thing would happen if I tried to ask for an explanation of different fees.
Trouble at my workplace. Overdrew my checking account balance 3 times by over 100 each time. Mentally and Physically damaged by the harrassment and rudeness that happened.

Shalanda of Conyers, GA September 2, 2008
I took out a loan with CashToday about 3 years ago. Like others their fees were ridiculous causing my account to constatnly be overdrawn, the acct was eventually closed. They have called my job and even left a message on my supervisors voice mail. They orginally stated I owed 3000 which the took down to 1000 then taken to 800. I have paid 200 and will probaly pay the 300 they are now saying is the balance to get them off of my back.
Bonnie of Cabin Creek, WV August 28, 2008
I took out a payday loan and told them I would pay them by money order but they refused to take payment that way. I no longer have a checking account and they want me to use a friends or family members checking account. The loan was for 200.00 and they want me to pay back 5000.00. They keep calling my place of employment and I am afraid I will end up in trouble or even lose my job.
Great amount of stress, I just want to know what I can do?
Anika of Shreveport, LA August 28, 2008
About 4 or 5 months ago I recieved a call from Sabee stating that I owed Cash Today Ltd. over 5000.00 for a 200 loan that I borrowed in 2004. I told him that I did not believe that was me because I had my purse stolen from my place of employment during that time and I did not make a loan. He went on to demand that it was me and told me that if I did not pay the money he would contact my employer to garnish my wages for the money.
At that time I told him if I had made the loan I would be more than willing to pay for it, but I needed proof that this was my loan and I also wanted to know why would his company wait 4 years to contact me about this debt. So he told me that it was not his responsiblity it was mine to pay the debt and he needed me to pay something right now. I told him that I could not pay him right away, but if he forwarded the necessary documents to me stating that this was my bill I would pay the original amount of 200. He told me that he would fax me the documents and that he would set up a phone conference with my bank, because the money had been wired to my account. I told him I was fine with that. After a few weeks and no word from him or the bank, I did not think about it anymore. He called back maybe a month later and began screaming and hollering over the phone that I needed to pay my bill and that I must be in the business of taking peoples money and that he would have me prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for what I had done. I asked him at that point to calm down or the ocnversation was over and he keep screaming into the phone so I asked him not to call my place of employment anymore because he was not handle this business professionally and I would not pay anything. After another couple of months he began to call back, this time I was in a meeting 8/21/2008 and he called my place of employment. He yelled at my co-worker and told her that if I did not call him before 12:30 he would call my supervisor to have my wages garnished. He then called me again on the following Tuesday, 8/26/2008 and he began to scream at me and tell me that I am one of those people who think that they can take whatever they want and get away with it. I explained to him that all I wanted was proof that it was my bill and I would pay the debt, but he just kept yelling at me until I was so nervous that I just hung up the phone. I feel like I have been severly violated by this company and I am so embarrassed that I have had to explain all of this to my co-workers and supervisors so that this man or group of people will not be able to get any more of my personal information.
I have been deeply embarassed by this company telling my co-workers about this debt and threatening to garnish my wages. Even if I did owe them the money they have no right to tell my co-workers about this situation. Beyond embarrassment I sent them 100.00 initially to keep them from contacting my employer about this situation. Emotionally I was drained, he scared me to death with his threats and publicly humilated me.
