Be advised, don't even sweat it. These emails usually end up in the spam box, which should tell you something.
Don't reply, don't call them, do not email the "attorney" back, and don't waste your emotional strength over this nonsense.
They scared me once but a quick Google search and I went from shivers to laughing in a matter of seconds.
Good luck loyal citizens of the greatest nation in the world.

We are talking about the loan that you took with A Parental Pay Day Advance Company, they do have a signed copy of the contract which is signed under your E-mail address and SSN, was also traced when you were signing the contract with the company.



ACE – Ace loan online, it is a parent company which owns and operates more than 350 websites, you applied from one of our websites and you never bothered to pay this debt, so the creditor wants to know your intention about this matter that what would you like to do whether you are willing to resolve this case or you want to dispute.

The LAW FIRM has more than 14 types of technical evidence in order to prove the money was successfully deposited into your bank account which was a checking account.



Note: This notice is provided to you on behalf of ACE – Ace Cash Express. And its parent company, and their respective family of companies including Cash Advance, its parent company, Cash America International, Inc., and all of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates,



(Hereafter collectively referred to as the “Cash Advance Related Companies,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

As per your contract in the event of a default, you would be contacted via the same email had you used to solicit the funds. If you did not get the email then,

1) Either you no longer have the email address,

2) You deleted the email thinking it's just another email advertisement to get a fresh loan or

3) You might be caught of Identification Theft.
