Charging for check fraud

Here is one of several links about them at http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/creditors-information/nationalmoneystore.html they seem to be out of Costa Rica, and the BBB can't even find an addy for them!! They will threaten anything they can to scare you into paying them So not give out bank info, or they will clean you out.

What state are you in, doesn't matter, it looks like they are illegal..KAren

Please do not let these people scare you.
They are not even located in this country. Its just cruel scare tactics.They can not touch you , so calm down. Most of us are familiar with these sort of scare tactics. Been there , done that!!!!!

That was me Kash. forgot to sign in again

They can't file charges on you since they are operating illegally and not even in our country.

Bossy is right do not give them any of your financial information because they will clean you out!

jen...what state are you in?? How much was the loan for and how much did they take out in charges, fees whatever??

jen, charging you with "check fraud" would involve a check. These people do not have a check. Plus the fact that it wouldn't be "fraud" even if it was a check that was returned for NSF. That's not "fraud". These people are trying to scare the crap out of you. I was once threatened with "fraud". This forum came to my rescue! "Fraud". It was an internet loan. Tell them to show you the friggin check they're going to claim "check fraud" on! :evil:

Jen- Was it Greg Patton? He called me from AS and Associates and told me the same garbage...he told me that they were "investigating" me. I filed complaints because I over paid them. This was the beginning of the year and I'm still here :D Dont let it bother you. I would file complaints against them.

Thanks for all your help and advice. I'm over the panic! I did a search on this site after my post and found some other's who had also received similar calls from AS Associates. I sent them a Notice to Cease Communications by fax and will follow up with sending the letter to them by mail.

I live in Florida and had been paying National Money Store for months. I need to check on the exact amount's but I'm sure with all the fee's and charge's I have well over paid the original loan (at least what legally should have been paid). It was not Greg it was a David from AS Associates.

Again, Thanks

I had a loan with NMS too. I think they are full of crap! I paid mine off though, and I'm thinking of filing complaints to try and get a refund of what I overpaid them. Don't let them scare you, so many people have been accused of "fraud" when there is no legal justification for it.

well said Jen5276

I'm joining in this conversation a little late, but I see our old friends at AS Associates are still up to their old tricks. Yeah, they contacted me back in April and scared the crack out of my sister when they called HER trying to look for me. She was worried because she was wondering what in the world an "investigator" was doing asking for me...man, I was scared and so pissed about that. I filed my complaints, and even the BBB and DFI are having a hard time getting a hold of them. Well, they are my list of things to take care of, but not in the immediate future. I would just suggest making a copy of everything you send and send certified and keep a copy of your complaints! Good luck!
