I wanted to post a followup, but I never got around to it.
I did end up getting M1Y to refund $600 that they owed me. The reasoning was that 1) They are not licensed in California and 2) they violated the state law against rollovers. I realized afterwards when I pulled my full records that they owed me additional money. By that time they did not want to discuss anymore.
There is more that is going to be happening against these folks in the coming months, which I shall address later.
In the interim, note that they (any payday loan vendor) CANNOT rollover a loan, thus charge you fees for rollovers. They MUST be licensed in California. If you are in California and they have been doing this, educate yourself and fire back. Chances are you overpaid and are due a refund (I also got refunds from other more reputable outfits which I had dealt with - a total of $1920 in refunds).
I will keep an eye on this forum. Anybody that wants additional info, let me know and I will post specific citations.
