Consumer complaint received 06-02-2016 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Trademark Management Solutions, LLC. (MN).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay

Complaint: I went online last XXXX around XXXX to look into a short term loan. I submitted a former that I guess connects you with multiple lenders. In the end I ended up with a payday loan from a company called XXXX. I guess now it 's called XXXX. Well from the moment they deposited XXXX into my account I started getting multiple calls from other companies trying to deposit money and XXXX calling you collect way more than the XXXX law states is legal. Than I find out this company based in XXXX per online but they list XXXX HOWEVER not legal in XXXX per Department Of Financial Institutions. This is XXXX XXXX XXXX and they are not licensed in XXXX or XXXX. I read how they continue to debit your account towards fees only nothing to principle and the rates are beyond belief. As soon as I started getting scam calls after the deposit from people with accents saying I 'm going to jail for bank fraud check fraud etc I got scared I called my bank immediately and canceled this unknown XXXX company from access. I have called XXXX who is now XXXX to obtain a way to mail what i borrow plus the fee that I found through research that in XXXX online loans can charge a maximum of 33 % I found so with what I loaned XXXX I felt I owed XXXX each time I call it am asked for every piece of my personal info dob, ssn. Address drivers license #, etc I am pursuing on hold and issue is never resolved. I am now being harassed by another company a debt collection company who state they are hired by XXXX XXXX in XXXX demanding I pay {$3800.00} or I 'll be charged with check fraud amount many other charges. This company is called Trademark Management out of XXXX XXXX. I asked for a validation of debt as I want to pay the legal amount I owe. But they refused continue to threaten with legal charges unless I give my card #. I asked for some proof this is legit they would only give me a generic email setting up XXXX payments of like {$290.00} and no address of the debtor just a generic " XXXX '' memo. I asked if I were to call XXXX XXXX XXXX would they know you 're the collection company handling this and they said no they would n't. So after I was scared about these so called legal charges I gave my XXXX XXXX card # but before signing some email they sent I ended the call. Called my bank to cancel my debt card realizing it 's a scam but they scared me enough to almost agree to there insane demand. I once again called big picture loan they were not associated with trademark as I suspected but again I was back to square one. No one was willing to help and they wanted all my personal info again. I have also gotten emails from random places about fraud charges arrest warrants. I 'm XXXX, I 'm XXXX, I Feel my information was given out I get calls.and emails weekly thanking for applying for payday loans I did n't apply for. I truly just want this to end I want to pay what I loaned to the right company and the legal amount of fees by XXXX laws.
