Type of a scam Debt Collections
My family was contacted by phone until I called the alleged business. I was told that ACE Cash express was suing me for breach of contract and I was to be served that day. I asked for paperwork or some sort of confirmation. I was not given it. The person refused to the company address claiming that it was to protect employees performing a sensitive job. I was extensively threatened with criminal penalties and coerced into a payment plan. I had a medical emergency and did have to use ACE service so it was believable. However I later contacted ACE who said that they did not do that sort of thing. I called back the number for global and received a voicemail. I notified the company that our agreement was void due to fraud.

Type of a scam Debt Collections
I was called several times about a debt I thought I had paid, but having no proof due to a bill never being sent, I relented and paid a small amount, although I continued to ask for a bill to be sent to me. They refused but claimed I would get a statement upon full payment, but that had not happened with previous bills like this. I was to have the remainder also taken from my prepaid debit card on payday. However, when they tried to take the remaining $300, the card would not release funds. I called customer service for the card and was told that it was a scam and they will NEVER release those funds to them, that the previous smaller amount had slipped their notice, but that it was a scam. I called them back and relayed the information again asking for a bill and was hung up on. Since then a woman claiming to be named Lisa Lopez has called up to three times a day, and even on my work phone leaving voicemails threatening legal action, but the one time I did speak to her, she also refused to send a bill.
