Payday lenders are notorious for using smiley means to try and collect on their loans. A client received the attached email from a so called attorney regarding her pay day loan.

First off, not paying a loan is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. So if this so called attorney had reported it to HPD, he would have been laughed out of the office.

Secondly, the statute cited doesn’t exist. FDCPA has nothing to do with this either.

Thirdly, I can find no record of a Jason Scott at White & Case Law Associates. Nor would a self-respecting attorney use a gmail address like attorney.jassonscott.554@gmail.com

So if you ever get an email like this and are concerned about it, call an attorney or your local legal aid. Don’t be suckered by this kind of BS

The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows:-

Violation of Federal Banking Regulation.
Collateral Cheque Fraud.
Theft by Deception.

The Legal Affidavit States that x Was Monitored online Using the Email Address: ( e.g: x) In Order To Solicited Funds From a Website which is Own and Operated By American Cash Advance. The Funds Were Successfully Transferred Into Your Bank, Utilizing an interstate EFT ( That stands for Electronic Funds Transfer ) But at The Time Of repayment When the Clients Attempted To Extract The Funds Back there were 6 EFT’s Returned Constituting Worthless Electronic Cheque, So As of Now Rather Than Chasing You For Money They Have Simply Decided to write This money as a loss and deemed to be stolen As well as press charges against you in your state under your social security number.

Now this legal affidavit has been taken care by FDCPA Law Fair Debt Collection Practice Act Chapter: 9 Section: 19

This means just two things for you.

1) If You are on any state Supervised probation on pay roll , you will need to top contact the officer about this case and make themaware about this case.
