(707) 205-1628

I've gotten the same calls many times for months form these idiots . You would think that would make note in their system that I am not giving them a cent and I have called them every scammer name in the book so I have caught on to them!! You would think they would stop calling me!! It's so frustrating .. Same thing as I'm reading here , calling me about checks from 20 years ago to Winn Dixie . I never wrote any bad checks and closed that bank account in good standing in 1996 ! The bank isn't even in business anymore !

I receive 2 or 3 calls everyday from these idiots on a check that is 19 years old telling me I owe them 4 times the amount of the original check. The bank I wrote it on was taken over by the FDIC so there is no way for me to prove this, but after call the District Atty office very clear this is a scam. I filled a complaint with consumer finance .gov, which told me they have had 100's of complaints about this company and hopefully they can get these idiots closed down.

I got a call today from 205-545-8284 saying I owed for a bad check from 2001 I wrote to Winn Dixie. Plus they wanted interest and two NSF fees. I told them to send a copy of the check to my PO Box and I would go to the bank and check on it. The lady was real argumentive and said she would not mail it to me. I thought it was bs.

I just got a call from 2055457288. They said I owes 252.00 For a bounced check from 16 years ago.

So these guys are ridiculous. I have quite a bit to share. First off. The number showing on caller id is (205)545-7288. After my conversation I was giver a direct line of (205)419-2950. Of course it has an ext # 1031 for the rep I spoke with. His name he said was juvon.

Ironically enough the check in question was written to Winn Dixie. Dated 6-13-1997. For $56.51. After much argument and not wanting to do what they wanted online I asked to see the check. They were not willing to send a PDF to my email to view and verify. However , another worker took a picture with his phone and sent me a text message of the check. So , it is my check but nowhere does it say NSF. Actually it does say it was deposited 3 days later. Stamped at the bank. Hmmmm. So i would like to share this boneheads phone number. Feel free to call this guy. I'm going to report his number as well and this story to the FTC.
(702)826-8167. Data check of America are a bunch of crooks. Watch out and don't go to their website. They try to trick you to click on "male payment ". It automatically sends you to a secure site. This means you are going to be charged something if you go forward. DO NOT. contact your local news and spread the word. Every voice counts.

I received a female voice recording telling me that I was being referred to court within 24 hours. At the end of the recording i'm instructed to hit 1, if I hit one, no one answered.
Finally, I called again and a woman answered (same voice as the recording) telling me that I owed $25 from a local photo company. The note section included my daughters actual name. However, the check number they give is way out of sequence. They did not want to fax the copy, want me to log on to a website while they talk me thru...SCAM

Yes they have been calling me with the same comments and information everyone else on here has stated. This is getting out of hand. I want to report them to law enforcement. They call from lots of numbers and are horrible rude people!! They gave me a routing number and checking account number to deposit money in. I told her she was crazy and if they want money from me then I will see them in court!! What is scary is that these people have my information and its seems all of it is coming from Winn Dixie. They have to be stopped!! Criminals!!

Yeah they had been calling me but I ignored it because it was an unknown number and I've had telemarketers to harass. So finally I answered it and they were saying I had a check return in the amount of $16.06 from Winn Dixie in 2001...15 yrs ago!!! And now i owe $186.0 . Claiming they just now caught up with me with a working number....????? So when I asked what the dates were on the fees? She swears they didn't provide her with that. And furthermore, I'm wondering, how is there a $35 fee with them? I took care of all that with my bank. Something just wasn't right with them.

They have been robo-calling me threatening "potential wage garnishment". When they had a human call i went ahead and responded. Turns out that that they had a copy of a returned check of mine from 14 years ago. I eas able to get a copy from their website and contacted the company the check was originally issued to (whom I still have an open account with) and they had no record of me still oweing them anything so I can only assume it was paid/resolved year ago. This is why statute of limitations exist, because we can not reasonable be expected to keep detailed records of all paid debts for our entire lifetime.

So if this is a valid comany they are violating many debt collection practices and I think we should start a class action against them:
Violation: claiming they will garnish wages when they have no intention to do so (they would surely know they have no legal authority to). - $1000 per call... I have at least 5 saved voice mails with them making this claim

Violation: Failure to properly notify - California requires written notice within 30 days of the check being returned via certified mail in order to persue collection activity... Uh... Sorry that passes... 14 years ago!

Violation: Charging excessive fees. Law only allows for a maximum of up to 3 times the original check amount and that is only with proper certified notification and failure to respond... They are asking for more than 6 times the original check amount.

I RECIEVED CALLS FROM DATA CHECK STATING I HAD A RETURN CHECK ITEM FROM 11/99 OVER 17 YEARS AGO RECIEVED CALL FROM 404-856-0074 THE RECORDING TO ME THEY WERE GOING TO GARNISH MY CHECK IF I DIDNT MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITHIN 24 HOURS WHEN I CALLED BACK 866-218-3402 MSG WAS FULL---SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE THE PRIOR DAY VERY RUDE GOT UGLY SCREAMED AT ME TOLD HER I WAS SPEAKING STATED SHE WASNT MY CHILD AND NOT TO TALK TO HER THAT WAY I HUNG UP------RECIEVED 3 CALLS IN 2 WEEKS

They called me too, but when I requested a copy of the check they were talking about the woman told me they do not send mail, got rude , said she was marking this as a refusal to pay, and hung up on me. I immediately tried to call back and recording said her box was full, therefore I could not leave a message.

Yep, and I called back for checks used on a now defunct NY bank. I must have thrown out an un-shredded book of checks when I moved from NY to California. Dumpster divers used two checks between 97 and 99, again for pizza, but now I get a call about two more for around $200.00 each in '99 (some big pizza party) I told them I had gotten police reports for the first two complete with Notary Public record of my real signature. I don't remember if that settled the matter with data check, but I always wondered why Pizza hut would accept an out of state check without a form of ID with a signature on it, and isn't it up to the merchant to make sure they know who they are accepting a check from? Bottom line, I think this is scammy, because when I uttered the words, "statute of limitations, she hung up on me and when I called back she picked up and hung up (caller ID I guess) In any case they are not getting a cent from me, and if my bank or my employer tries to help them (I sure they will never even hear of this) I will take THEM to court.

I need help I keep getting calls from this stating there taking money out of my account I have to show up to a meeting call 18662183402 all I get is mailbox full.I've contacted clovis pd if money is with drawn they said I can prosecute with my author and don't not show up anywhere

They have been calling me, I requested proof from them because I called the bank they claimed I had an account with them said I never did. I asked for their address to mail them a copy of the proof from the bank. They said i could look it up online. I did. This is the response to the letter.

Good morning

We are in receipt of a letter mailed by you to Datacheck of America (a copy is attached). Regretfully, the envelope did not include a return address so that we could send it back to you. I am writing to let you know that there is no such company by the name of Datacheck at our address. I attempted to find the company myself and had no luck. This is just a courtesy notice to you that your correspondence did not reach its intended recipient and that you may want to try again. If I can assist you further, please let me know.

I wonder if Pizza Hut knows the company they are supposedly working with is a scam. If I had an account and did bounce a check I would take care of it. But since they can't prove it seems fishy.

It's completely a scam. Don't answer it. If they aren't willing to send information in the mail they are huge scammers.
