Wrong number of arguments for model new

I am really confused as to why this is happening. I'm calling the 'create' method via ajax and it returns a 500 error. This is the controller:

class CallbacksController < ApplicationController
  def create
    new_callback = Callback.new({
      date: DateTime.now,
      status: 'Open',
      notes: params[:callbackNotes],
      action: "#{params[:callbackDate]}:#{params[:callbackTime]}",
      admin: current_user.name,
      set_by: current_user.name
    })

    customer = Customer.find params[:customer_id]

    if customer.exists?
      new_callback.customer = customer
      new_callback.save

      render json: {success: true}
    end
  end
end

I get the error:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 5) highlighting the line new_callback = ...

I've tried it with both new_callback = Callback.new({date: DateTime.now}) and new_callback = Callback.new. Both return similar errors. I thought it was to do with the model but the full trace says not:

app/controllers/callbacks_controller.rb:3:in 'new' app/controllers/callbacks_controller.rb:3:in 'create'

The exact same line works perfect in the console however?

the Callback is a rails class inside the ActiveSupport package, ActiveSupport::Callbacks::Callback. and the constructor for it is like this new(chain, filter, kind, options, klass). Rename you model name will solve it.
