Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I was just notified by District 12 check fraud division they said they acting on behalf of ace saying in 2008 I walked in a ace they have a picture of me they couldnt tell me if I wrote a check or did a payday loan I told I dont remember ever walking into ace they told me its not their job to jog memory they said its their job to contact me that I am being charged with 3 charges larceny something intent something and theft something they would not tell me which ace I walked in.They said they are turning my case over to Dallas county. They said I will be notified by a police. My question is can I be charged with these crimes I'm guessing it was a payday loan. I have done a couple online in the past but have paid them off They also told me Im not allowed to contact Ace is this also true

Sounds like a bluff because Texas does not have a "larceny" charge and depending on the amount involved, the statute of limitations may have run.

You can contact Ace but you should ask that company to provide you with all paperwork and a copy of the video if they want money; otherwise, tell them you will be reporting them for illegal collections act violations. Record your call.
