Your friend is being threatened by a collection agency using a common scare tactic. Such agency has no right or means to have her arrested so long as she committed no criminal act in obtaining the loan. And the use of a three-day notice is merely part of their game. She should be able to locate the account or card by which she paid off the loan, but she should not be intimidated into paying extra funds.

What the collection did is a violation of the both state and federal consumer collection laws. See www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com
