Wakefield and Associates Scam-artists!!! Internet
I am constantly receiving calls from "Wakefield and Associates" in regards to a so-called debt with an alleged payday loan company called "ptb, llc." The first time they called, some woman by the name of "Rose" gave the address of this place as 7300 W. Colfax Avenue, Lakewood, CO on October 8, 2012. I googled and tried looking up this address, and no such place exists, anywhere. I informed them that I am aware that they are scam-artists, and until they furnish a letter to prove any validity, not to contact me again.
They did it again today (October 10, 2012) from the same phone number: (866) 491-4289, and this time, a man did the calling. I reiterated to them of my findings and never to contact me again, until they have proof via hard-copy letter that this so-called payday loan place exists. I am aware of who I loaned from, and there's no ptb, llc anywhere in my area. Due to Colorado laws of doing it via online, that cannot be done, as it's illegal in Colorado to do business with any online payday loans, it can only be done in-person...period. I also looked up this Wakefield and Associates, and they are a law firm, but does NOT practice in this particular area. That being said, if a debt-collector claims to be from Wakefield and Associates, it's a scam!
If they threaten with harm to credit reports and/or prosecution or any threats of such a nature, it's a scam, and it violates the consumers' "Fair Debt Collections Act"; which means that the consumer can then (upon discovering the location of this so-called company) not only have any debts cleared, but also sue for monies for damages rendered. It's the law, whether these so-called debt-collectors like it or not. It protects us from being harmed in any way, shape or form...so I read. Thanks, and again, be careful, everybody!
