Consumer complaint received 2020-01-14
Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you
Company: CURO Intermediate Holdings (FL)

I received two email from two separate people with two different amounts saying that I owe a payday loan company money. The only payday company Ive ever used is XXXX and I currently have a up to date payday loan with them. Theres no way I could even have another loan out right now or for that amount they are demanding I pay even with the state of Floridas laws. They have advised that they have filed two separate cases against me in court, however I have gone to the courts website and looked up all court cases in the entire US with my name or even a variation of my name and nothing is there. The companies are claiming to be with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but there is no evidence of such law firm anywhere nor have they provided any business location or phone number other than a total of three extremely fake email addresses. This is a scam. 

Here is the first email.
