Payday loan Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Maryland

About a two months ago, I began receiving threatening phone calls from a debt collector service regarding a online payday loan that I never received. The company threatened that I committed check fraud and that there will be someone coming to my job to arrest me. I spoke to an individual who was very nasty and would not give me much information. They told me I better pay the loan and hung up. I called back and was extremely upset about this call. I was finally able to speak to someone to explain that I needed to pull my bank records from - 2011. I went to the bank and pulled the information and called this company back and was told to fax the information in. WelI, I faxed in this information and called again speaking to different people and I was told that I was okay and should not get any more calls. Two days later, they began calling my cell, my father 's telephone number and my home number. I again attempted to call and explained what I was told and I reached the same nasty person STATING THAT I BETTER PAY THE MONEY AND HUNG UP. I


telephone from a woman stating that she has my business address and have been given some paperwork to have me picked up and processed for this outstanding charge that I never had. This time the amount was huge and they stated that I had to pay it in order for me not to be arrested. With my job on the line I paid - dollars allowing these people to have my debit card. However after getting off the phone crying, I began to contact people and told them what happened and they informed me that I was duped out of my money.
