A company has been calling my mom multiple times looking for me (why aren't they calling me) I finally called them today and they say they are a check advance company and I owe them money from like 2010. They are sending a summons to my house between 12-4. The amount owed isn't much of an issue I can easily pay that but what is going on here? Why does this company have all my information yet has never sent me a bill or this is not on my credit report. Why are they waiting ten years to come after me when if they just sent me a bill I would have paid it. Also I did use a pay day loan once when I was in college (stupid I know) but I swear on my life I paid it back a week later to risk owing more money. Is there anyway this is legit?
*edit- did some sleuthing so the actual company that has been calling is called Absolute litigation or something and I guess represents the cash advance place but everything I look up on line this place also screams shady
*edit- also last week they were leaving voicemails that they had an urgent fax for me. I mean who uses a fax these days.
*update- apparently my sister had nearly the same scam come after her a year ago and were calling her dad and grandparents. She went to the police and they told her its most likely a scam. Will be stopping by my local police station soon to file a report.
