Was given different names each call
Comments
I have been receiving the same phone calls. I always ask for the paper work to be sent to me and they can never provide any proof. Thank you for sharing your story!!! I feel that I am not alone!!!
Caller: Katrina Long Samantha Hall
Company: Was given different names each call
At this point I tell them that I feel like I have enough information for the Washington State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commision, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, and maybe even the FCC.
She thought she hung up but left the line open and I got to listen to the background conversation for several minutes confirming that I was a dead end.

However when pressed for details about the actual debt itself (my current address, the original debt amount, the current debt amount etc.) They weren't able/willing to provide that information-
they claimed that they had been sending numerous emails (to an email address that I specifically use for online activity that I am not 100% sure about and didn't care if it gets spammed into oblivion) but have not sent any physical mail regarding the debt (another red flag)
I asked for the affidavit to be faxed to me and they said that this would not be possible due to "Defamation of Character" they could only fax it to my attorney of record once they recieved his/her Bar number and Letter of representation was faxed to them. I guess I was asking too many pointed questions so this gal hung up.
the next day at 5 minutes to 8am in my time zone (also against Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) Katrina Long calls from (214) 935 3577 - Again I take the call out of facination and pretend that I am panicing and looking to avoid getting arrested at my workplace for 3 felony charges relating to this fictious online loan. I was given a different company name (first it was "AMB Mediation Diversification" and this time is was "PreTrial Intervention") this time I seemed to be cooperative so I was given a little more information- to avoid a warrant from being filed I would have to come up with 1/3 of the total balance as "good faith" and then I could be set up on a hardship payment for biweekly payments of $412.50---- but the payment had to be made via "Debit Card, Credit Card, PrePaid Card, or Western Union" total amount due (base, costs, fees, and interest) if $1375.00

I initially got a voicemail from Samantha Hall with a request to call back with my attorney's information before they submitted warrants to my various local law enforcement agencies for my arrest {for check fraud for a defaulted online payday loan} *** this alone was illegal (even if the debt was legitimate) according to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( I guess they didn't know that I am a Certified Credit Counselor and worked for an agency for 5 years)
I returned the call mostly out of curiosity and asked to speak to Samantha- I was told that within the 90 minutes from when the threatening message was left and my return call she was promoted to supervisor and didn't work directly with cases.
I was told that in november of 2011 I took an online payday loan from Everest Cash Advance- which I absolutely did not.
They were able to provide me with "incriminating" details that were at one point true (I banked with X Bank and worked for X Company) which only really meant that they were able to data mine at one point.
