Debt Collections

Stated that my credit report between 2007-2015 flagged in an audit for rent-a-center as having a past due account in collections and that it’s still valid because rent a center uses a tolling agreement in their contract which means the statute of limitations is void. They claim letters were sent and not received and an officer will be delivering a court summons if I didn’t pay the settlement amount today. They had my name, current address, SSN and listed the car I just bought as an asset. I attempted to validate the address provided and the building has no record of that business. Searched the CA registry of businesses and the name does not exist. Their phone numbers are VOIP and not owned by a company. The email address used to provide documentation has been flagged in other scams. When asked they refused to give any more info that provided in the email letter

I received a call from Avery and multiple people stating that they are looking for my husband. They claim we owe $8000 some dollars for a US Bank credit card. He wanted a payment. I explained to the agent that we never had an account with US Bank. I told them I verified with U.S. Bank that the credit number/account was never issued by them and they said that there is no account with them. The agent was very aggressive. He threatened to take assets from me. He knew alot of my husband's information. I explained I would contact US Bank. He stated that I did not need to contact US Bank. Once I was finished speaking with him. I called US Bank fraud department, and the agent who worked for US Bank fraud department stated that under my husband's name and Social Security number, there was no account. I explain to US bank that I had received a call from the Mediation Group stating I owe 8000 for a credit card with Citibank. Then US bank stated to me that they have not heard of Miller and Associates Mediation Group. Please help. I am being called about a credit card debt and I have never had a credit card with US Bank. I was pressured to pay right now or they threatened us to take us to court. They ended up taking $3500 from my credit card. They refused to refund and refused to acknowledge that the information they used to fraud me does not exist.

Online Purchase

They advertise concert tickets available via "Mobile Transfer," which means Ticketmaster tickets will be transferred to the buyer's name, as on every other ticket platform. But they only provide SecureMyPass. So they aren't transferred to the buyer's name and aren't resellable on more reputable platforms afterward, and they will not refund or resell the tickets either, because there is no way to guarantee a SecureMyPass is the only one available for a seat, because anyone with the URL has access to the ticket. Many scams are known to use SecureMyPass. Just a bad experience with this business.

Counterfeit Product

I made an initial purchase. Found product not suitable. Returned product within a day or two of arrival. I had to get return address to return from them via email. At the same time a notified the company of return, i also cancelled the subscription. They reqired a copy of package and mailing label. Once again in delivering this info to them the subject line notified them, return and cancellation of subscription. I return items quickly, they do not lay around and that is why i could not believe when I received notification in my email of payment processed and shipping of this item. Almost a full month was between the return and them process a new transaction. Why i believe this is a scam is because they repeatedly let you know they will only do one return of there product and when i contacted them to ask why they drafted my account fir a subscription i cancelled with more than enough notice to have updated there system, they immediately said to me a policy they knew i knew, "we only do one refund". Is it not apparent this transaction was deliberate and they believe repeating the over and over again will stop you from harassing them for the money they shouldn't have taken. I do have the pictures and emails sent to them as evidence of my timeliness. I know it's a small amount but if they are doing this to alot of people, it's a large sum they are cheated people out off and a loophole that might need to be addressed.

Employment

After applying for jobs on Indeed I was contacted by this company sharing a similar name to a company i had applied for. They then followed up the original email with an interview time and ask for your licensing number (required before the first interview) and say if you don't have one to visit one of their partnered websites to get one. This is where they get you, the websites do not offer actual certifications. The reason i didn't fall for this is knowing any real business will pay for your license. I myself do not have a license and they know this based on my indeed profile. On the surface the websites seem quite legit but I could tell something was off. They make it seem as if the job is yours to have before the first "interview", that will probably never come, to try and coask people into paying for these fake courses.
