I have been receiving multiple phone calls daily from a company called MRS Collections, stating that I took out a loan with Check and Go in the amount of $680. I have never taken out a loan with this company nor do I know who they are. Today the caller threatened to report all of this on my credit report. I told him to go ahead and do just that and I filed a complaint with the CFPBfor harassment.Business Response

To Whom It
May Concern:
We would like to thank
Ms. ******* for contacting Check ‘n Go regarding the collections calls she has been receiving from someone claiming to be affiliated with Check 'n Go. We completed an investigation into the matter and can
confirm that there are no loans or applications in our system (past or present)
that match the personal information she provided in her complaint. Although we can advise these calls are more
than likely fraudulent, unfortunately we cannot control the debt collection/communication
practices of other companies, and do not have the ability to force a
third-party to stop contacting her. We
would recommend filing a complaint against that company directly.

I was contacted by a collections company stating that I took out a loan of $900 with a company called Check N Go, a company that I had no knowledge of before today and have never done any business with. Alleging that money was deposited into my bank account from this company. With no date of when the alleged deposit occurred. However in their attempt to collect their payment it was denied by the bank. No money was ever deposited into my account from this company. Apparently they been trying to collect the debt since 2017 through several different collection agencies, but the item does not appear anywhere on my credit report and never has. I don’t know who these people are or why they are contacting me. There’s clearly some type of fraud going on.Business Response

This company is fraudulent. I attempted to pay my loan of $750 off early in February 2023. Each time I tried (three) I was told to wait because a payment ($155) was ‘pending’.
I finally demanded that they take my final payment ($400) to pay the loan off regardless. At this point, I would have paid a total of $1200 for a $750 loan.
I then receive a call in May 2023 that my loan has not been paid, is in collections, and that I owe $740!
I told them it was a mistake, but then began receiving calls again June 2023.
I am then told that they were sorry but the pay off was never processed. I was infuriated.
They then offer a settlement of $400 and tell me IRS may tax me? I accept the settlement. These morons still never process the payment. I’m told I had NSF June 30th. That is a lie. I have attached my bank statement which proves I had over $5000 in that account but they are scammers so they will say anything to justify their fraud.
It is now July and I settled again for approximately the same amount ($400). I am waiting to see if they will lie again about not being able to draft my account.
Meanwhile, I received an NSF charge for $17 from an account I asked them NOT to draft from in December 2022.
I need a refund for $17. I also do not want to pay the remaining balance after being being bamboozled the past five months that I have tried to pay the loan off.
This is ridiculous. Do not do business with this ‘company’. Not only do they overcharge interest, they lie about being able to pay less interest for paying the loan off early and then trap you by not processing payments to pay the loan off early.Business Response

We want to thank **** ******* for contacting Check ‘n Go regarding their account. We understand
that there is some confusion with the terms and conditions of their loan, specifically the outstanding balance owed. We
completed an investigation into the matter and found that the customer's loan became delinquent in March of 2023. Our records indicate a settlement payment of $387.38 was returned by their bank on 6/30/2023 for insufficient funds. The customer then requested another settlement on 7/21/2023 and requested payment to be taken out of their account on 7/31/2023. We advised that the payments can take 3-5 business days to process and advised them to make sure the funds would be available throughout that duration to avoid another returned payment from their bank.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.There needs to be compensation returned for never processing my payment. I was never delinquent. Check N Go simply did not process several payments so they could keep skimming extra money.
I attached my bank statement. The week of the draft there was at least $5000 in the account. My bank never returned the funds. The payment was simply never processed.
Just like the pay off was never processed. They tried to continue to draft more money from my account. Even if the bank did reject the debit, why wasn’t I phoned?

To whom it may concern,
We want to thank *** ****** for contacting Check ‘n Go again
regarding his concerns. We have investigated the matter and our records show
that *** ****** received a loan from Check ‘n Go on 11/10/2022 for $750 and the
loan defaulted on 6/09/2023 with a balance of $774.76. We would like to take
this opportunity to address *** ******** concerns.First, *** ****** claims that we purposely did not collect
his payments, so we could charge her additional interest and fees; however,
this is not true, and the loan history does not support this claim. Our records
show that all of *** ******** payments were processed on his payment due dates
in accordance with his loan agreement, but multiple payments returned and went
unpaid. In total, the customer only paid 6 of his 12 installment payments prior
to the loan defaulting. Once the loan defaulted, *** ****** spoke to our
Collections departments and agreed to payment arrangements, but several of the
Promise to Pays have not been honored.
As a courtesy, we have requested Validation of Debt documentation, which
confirms the above information and shows the claims made by the customer are
not factual. This information will be
sent via USPS to the physical address we have on file.Secondly, the customer claims funds were available in his
bank account and Check ‘n Go purposely failed to collect the funds; however,
the customer has only provided a screenshot of the account transaction history
for June of 2023. We feel the screenshot does not support this claim that the
funds were available for every payment that returned.Lastly, *** ****** claims that we never contacted her
regarding the returned payments; however, this is not true, as our records show
that we sent multiple letters to the customer regarding the debt and we called her
on 12/26/2022, 1/19/2023, 1/23/2023, 3/4/2023, 3/10/2023, 6/15/2023, and
6/16/2023; for some of our attempts we spoke to the customer regarding the
debt.Due to our findings, we respectfully decline the customer’s
request for compensation. To make payment arrangements, the customer may
contact our Corporate Collection Department at ###-###-####, and one of our
friendly agents will be able to assist her.Thank you,

I have left 3 voicemails over the last 48 hours and no one has returned my call. I intend to pay my loan off as they charge over $15 per day in interest so far I could have owed $45 less in 3 days however I can’t pay it off if no one will answer. It’s very frustrating.

This morning, July 20th, I was contacted by a rep from a collection agency, regarding a loan I supposedly took out. I have never heard of Check n Go before today, and certainly didn't take out a loan. I am on SSDI, and couldn't afford one, even if I had wanted to. I expressed all of this to the first person I spoke to, and in turn was treated with rudeness and disrespect. I understand he couldn't just cancel things right there, but treating me with rudeness is unacceptable. Either someone fraudulently used my information, or your company decided to just make up a loan. I am not accusing you of that, it is just the only things that could have happened. I would like this resolved immediately, and preferably by someone who isn't rude like your rep was.Business Response
