This is to final notify you that, going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within the next 24 hours,

We have given you more than enough time to make the payment but we have not received your payment and any response,

We have repeatedly advised you of your long overdue balance in the amount of $1220.00. Since you have not made payment, we have turned your account over to our attorneys and instructed them to commence suit without further delay. There is still time, however, to avoid suit if you contact us today. This will be your final opportunity to resolve matters without the expense of court proceedings.

YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TODAY TO GET THIS PROCESS DONE BECAUSE I LEARN THAT YOU WERE SENT SEVERAL E-MAIL WITHOUT GETTING A RESPONSE FROM YOU, PLEASE BEAR IT IN MIND THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN HELP YOU AT THIS MOMENT OR YOU WOULD HAVE TO FACE THE LAW AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ONCE IT HAS BEFALL ON YOU.

If the negative information on your credit report is true, you cannot change the report. The only way to get a better credit report is to improve your spending and bill paying habits. In time your credit report will improve. Credit reports show up for 20 years of negative information, Bankruptcy filings can be listed on your credit report for 10 years. Most other debts can be listed for 7 years. (M.G.L. c. 93, s. 52).

NOTE: KINDLY LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE WILLING TO RESOLVE THIS CASE SO THAT WE CAN OFFER YOU THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT AND IF NOT THEN WE HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS CASE FORCEFULLY AGAINST YOU INTO THE COURTHOUSE.

Reply me back immediately with your final answer so we can be in a position whether to put hold on your case file or to proceed it inside the courthouse,

    "We have given you more than enough time to complete the payment but you didn't complete the payment and any response, so Now in your case file has been forwarded to our Attorney,

    I am trying to help you but you are being difficult.

    Well, we are going to meet in the courthouse and please hire federal attorney for you, because you doubt our company's integrity so it is better that we fight with you in district courthouse.

    See you there soon..."

    I keep receiving this annoying threat

    How do I stop this? I have continuously sent it to spam

  • May 5, 2020 at 11:10 AM by an anonymous user from: Glendale, Arizona, United States

    I also received a few of these emails with my ss# on it.. I haven't been on this site until today and from everyone who had shared the emails they received from them, I noticed that everyone, including myself, owed the same amount of $1,220. I highly doubt this to be a coincidence. There is no way for that amount to be the exact same amount owed by everyone they collecting from.

  • April 17, 2020 at 10:19 AM by an anonymous user from: Newburgh, New York, United States

    I am getting very nervous as I continue to get threatening emails from this company with my social security number

  • April 15, 2020 at 1:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Wausau, Wisconsin, United States

    I received letter #2 with my social on it. I do not owe any debt like this, never heard of them. They also said a $1200 debt will turn into $12,000 if taken to court. Whoever is scamming isn't the brightest! You should change your company name, and the debt amount owed that everyone is also getting. It's the exact amount and breakdown. They also sent my scam from another Gmail account. Get a life! Karma will come back. And I am reporting the online scam.

    Some of their Emails show real SSN. How come there has been nothing done? If authorities know about these scammers, why are they do nothing to stop them?

    I realize you haven’t reacted to my previous notices concerning your account. I have written to you quite a few times over the past 11 months requesting an explanation on why you have failed to bring your account with us current. Including the interests, the amount due is now $1220.00.

    Unfortunately, by ignoring these warnings you are damaging the excellent credit record you had previously maintained with AVENUE CREDIT LLC in addition, you are incurring additional expenses to yourself and to us.

    Please arrange payment of this account today or, if you cannot make full payment at this time, please contact us to make a payment arrangement that is mutually acceptable,

    I hate to engage in that process but unless you communicate with us within 2 days, we will have no other choice but to turn your account over for collection. I am sorry that we are about to take such a drastic action but I am afraid you leave us no alternative. You can preserve your credit rating by remitting your check today for the amount stated above.

    Please note if your account is not paid within 2 days, we will take legal action without further notice.

    Sincerely,

    AVENUE CREDIT LLC"

    Received this scam.

    I have received a notice and I am very concerned about my social security being put out there.

    • March 14, 2020 at 8:01 AM by info

      Contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 for help.

  • March 12, 2020 at 1:12 PM by an anonymous user from: West Chester, Ohio, United States

    I have gotten the same letter for $1220 delinquent notice. Obviously a scam, but what frightens me is that the social security number they had listed for me was only one digit off.

  • March 9, 2020 at 11:37 AM by an anonymous user from: Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

    I also received a letter, just as the ones above, in my work email address! It contained my social security number and I'm wondering how they are able to do this. Mine says I borrowed money from a USA CASH in Jan 2018, $500 with $720 interest and a total of $1220.00 as well. This is insane! I wished people like this would be caught and prosecuted to the fullest. My letter was sent by some guy name Bob Chandler. I threatened to get my lawyer and told him I'd see him in court, please send the court information. I haven't heard anything sense.

  • March 5, 2020 at 11:54 AM by an anonymous user from: Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States

    They have been trying to get me on the hook for a week too. I got the same threatening letter in my email this morning. I told them I was contacting the BBB and the FTC.

  • March 4, 2020 at 6:39 PM by an anonymous user from: Houston, Texas, United States

    Got one today containing a SSN. Notified them I was contacting my attorney and AG Office. Check online for company and found no such site. Just happened to stumble upon your information.

    How do they have my social security number?
