Q: I keep getting a call from what seems like a layers office. They are saying that I owe around $1,300.00 from 2016
They say it is from a payday loan but they won't tell me the name of the company. I did owe a couple of companies but I am sure I paid them off. When I ask they name of the company they just say cash store. I have no way to know if this is legit or a scam. They keep threatening with taking me to court but I gotten nothing from a court and when I asked them to send me a letter with all the info they just say it has been sent and I haven't received anything.
A: There are so many scams out there concerning these "payday" loans. Tell them to only contact you in writing and demand proof of the debt. I bet you never hear from them.
