Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Hampshire

if you paid on a payday loan collection call can you get your money back if its fake?

I got a call telling me i did check fraud and they were going to do a warrent for my arrest and I have documents about me making payments but when I get the pay off letter it didnt feel right then I looked into it more and now im scared I got scammed. Is there anyway to find out? Or am I just screwed?

I first reported this scam to Fox News Boston back in 2010. You can watch the report on my website. These are most likely crooks and criminals working over the internet/phones from a foreign country. If you do have a letter from them, and they are a legitimate business, you must contact me immediately as I may be able to recover your money.

If you don't have anything in writing this time, all is not lost. You have learned a valuable lesson- NEVER pay anyone that called you over the phone. Never pay a debt collector without receiving something IN WRITING first. You have State & Federal debt collection protection rights. Violations like this, by a legitimate company, would entitled you to free legal representation and up to $1,000 in compensation. The debt collector will pay your legal fees, or we won't charge you.

Review my website at www.stopcalls.net and contact us if you receive any phone calls or collection letters from any debt collectors.
