Threats are down to taking me to court Fri. 11th...no name on what court house. SHOUJD I answer these people or ignore this. I checked and they are not with the Jefferson Law Group.
I received the same email today. It really had me thinking that I took out a loan in May 2018 and I know that I didn't because I couldn't afford to then. I'm glad I had to the nerve to look up this group to find our it is a scam. Thank you
