This company is a scam, they will call you and claim they are collecting for non existent defaulted payday loan. They will provide no documentation or address of where they are located. Do not pay them. This is a criminal organization and we are trying to go after them. We believe they are from Atlanta. If anyone has had any interaction with them please message me. Thank you.

On March 15, 2017, a friend rec a call from CFS regarding a "formal complaint" against me. I call 1.866.204.0462 and was informed that this formal complaint was in regards to a payday loan which was taken in 2008. I asked for documentation as to this, and was refused this info, even their address. I informed them they are acting as a collection agency, and not acting in regards to Federal Law regarding collection companies. I was informed that they were not a collection company. Again, I asked for a mailing address and documentation which to support their claim. Again, they refused this several times. I informed them to quit this practice, they stating they would "see me in court'. I told them go ahead, then they hung up.

my ex-husband my son and my daughter all receive calls from Coastal Financial Services stating that they were trying to contact me I talked to one of the agents and I called them back using the [protected] number spoke with several different people there and I recorded all of the calls they fell to Miranda rise me which I found extremely alarming because I used to be a debt collector for for ARS which is associated recovery and I know the law very well they said that they were going to sue me because I falsely wrote a check to a payday loan company which was completely false it was an online payday loan with Speedy Cash that I had actually attained back in 2011 my account was closed by the bank. The agent said that I closed my account in an attempt to fry the company out of money and I committed fraud and I'm going to be taken to court and sued for my fraudulent actions against the company they gave me the company's information which was a totally different name from Speedy Cash and they said this company axe on their behalf I learned later that that was not true Speedy Cash has its own debt collections development unit so that is not true this company is a scam they have harassed me and several of my family members for months alleging that it is not illegal and that I will be sued and brought to law because the debt is back in 2011 in one year it actually falls off of my credit so I don't even know how that's possible but I am looking to find the information as to the whereabouts of this company so that I can launch my own lawsuit since they have violated the fdcpa law code of ethics on collections in so many different ways if anyone knows of a current address I would love to have it so that they can be served with documentation and sued. the girl I talk to or the representative rather stated that they were in South Carolina

I got a call this morning from Coastal Financial Services [protected] stating I owe on a pay day loan in 2009 They would not tell me much but I just stated I talked to my attorney and they would just have to sue me.. I have not taken a payday loan out and have gotten several calls from different companies stating the same thing, I just tell them to sue me. They stop for a while then I start getting more calls from a different number. It is very annoying.

They have been calling me at home and cell off and on for months. They have also harassed my mother and brother. They are a Payday loan scam. Said I owed $300 but could not provide any documentation. Told me that they would take me to court and I would owe an additional $1, 500 if I did not pay immediately. Have called me under Horizon Financial and Coastal Financial Services. I do not owe anything but they do have all of my information. I think they hacked a Payday loan company because I did take a Payday loan about 10 years ago. They need to be stopped!

I just received a call from [protected] Coastal Financial for Highland Holdings for an insufficient check from a payday loan. They said they have a signed affidavit from TD bank stating I received $460 into my account back 2/7/2012. Only address I could get from Coastal Financial was Charleston, S.C. When I said I was calling TD Bank and getting together with their lawyer and my lawyer, they said I was disputing this and I would receive a packet within 7 days with a hard copy of all the information I need. I remember this from a couple years ago also. I had DHL delivery services calling me or someone stating they are from DHL delivery services, stating they have a package for me and wanted to know if I was home and they would be here in 20 minutes. I knew right off this was a scam.

Thank you Google and sites like this. I just received a call from this company( Costal Financial Services) this week using the same intimating phone message that I have a court case that will be filed against me. They said I had a pay day loan from 2013 but was unable to give me a specific date other than 2013. I asked for the specific company they said Manhattan Processing but couldn't tell me which payday loan company it was. I asked for information regarding the payday loan, they said since the payday loan company had tried to reach me so many times they had no paper work to send me. They said the only paperwork I could receive was when I paid off the loan then they could send me something. They also knew the last 4 of my SSN, my home address and other banking info which made them almost believable. I have never taken out a payday loan but I was questioning if I did, then I started thinking my identify was stolen. They called my in laws which was extremely embarrassing for me. I just couldn't shake something was wrong with this company. I started researching and found sites like this and others and called them back and said TAKE ME TO COURT

called my daughter on a Friday, march 16, 2017 and said I was being sued for fraud for a check I wrote on march 1, 2013 in California.. used an address I had never lived at and said courts were after me.. well, first of all, I don't write checks and second I was living in England ( can prove it with my passport and rental agreement of where I was living ) from 2012 to May 2013 so how is this possible and I went straight to my hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada after my trip..so not only were they trying to get money out of me, somehow they had the last four digits of my social security number which really had worried me and they would not tell me whom I had written the check for if I had.. so to make a long story short, after the call was disconnected through a bad connection, they tried calling again, this time from Florida with the same story.. so if they can't submit paperwork, emails and are using statics of "now or get sued" in minutes, something is very very wrong..google the company they are calling from and let them now you will return the favor and give their information to the better business bureau for fraud
