PostPosted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 11:06 am Subject: I need help with taking back my paycheck!

Hi, I am new, even though I have made a couple of posts. I didnot state the loans I have or the amounts, so here they are:

Platinum Cash Now borrowed $400 Paid $150.
Tremont Financial borrowed $400 Paid $360.
Purpose Loans borrowed $300, Paid $342
Loan Point-Geneva Roth Borrowed $300 Paid $540
Paycheck Today, Borrowed $300 Paid $320
Payday Cashlink Borrowed $300 Paid $220
Cash advance.net Borrowed $300 Paid $460
Payday Select Borrowed $400 Paid $660
PaydayOK Borrowed $400 Paid $560
Impact Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $360
USA PayDay Borrowed $300 Paid $410
Fast US Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $475
500 Fast Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $360
Cashnet USA Borrowed $400 Paid $200.

Just paid off Think Cash--$500 borrowed, paid $832

As you can see, I have 14 LOANS left! I am in Oklahoma. I just printed up a copy of the Oklahoma law and to stop drawing ACHs out of my account, and I have nine letters ready to send out certified, return receipt tomorrow. The other five I could not find the addresses for. I can't pay my car payment, havent for two months and it is in danger of being repossessed! I have had two calls from my banker in the last two weeks because my account is overdrawn, and she actually returned two ACHs to Payday Cashlink because of that, last week. I just sent e-mails to PaydayOK and PaydaySelect asking to mark my account PIF and even issue a refund. I can't close my account, because I will be overdrawn again this Friday, the 17th, on payday. What in the #%@@ am I going to do? I am so glad I have found you guys! Sorry this is so long!

As you can see, rollovers or renewals are not permitted in your state. So lets tackle how much you've paid on these loans and see if you've overpaid on some of them, or paid in full.

Platinum Cash Now borrowed $400 Paid $150.
(you owe this company $290 - $400 loan +$40 allowed interest = $440-$150 pd = $290)

Tremont Financial borrowed $400 Paid $360.
(you owe this company $80 - $400 loan +$40 allowed interest = $440-$360 pd = $80)

Purpose Loans borrowed $300, Paid $342
(you owe this company $3 - $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345-$342 pd = $3)

Loan Point-Geneva Roth Borrowed $300 Paid $540
(you have overpaid this company by $155 and should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund of $155. $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345. Pd $540-$345 = $155)

Paycheck Today, Borrowed $300 Paid $320
(You owe this company $25 - $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345-$320 pd = $25)

Payday Cashlink Borrowed $300 Paid $220
(you owe this company $125 - $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345-$220 pd = $125)

Cash advance.net Borrowed $300 Paid $460
(you have overpaid this company by $115 - you should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund of $115. $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345. Paid $460-$345 = $115 refund due)

Payday Select Borrowed $400 Paid $660
(you have overpaid this company by $220 and should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund. $400 loan + $40 allowed interest = $440. Paid $660-$440=$220 refund due)

PaydayOK Borrowed $400 Paid $560
(you have overpaid this company by $120 and should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund of $120. Loan of $400 + $40 allowed interest = $440. Paid $560-$440=$120 refund due.)

Impact Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $360
(you have overpaid this company by $15 and should request to be marked paid in full. Loan of $300 + $45 allowed interest = $345. Paid $360-$345=$15 overpayment.)

USA PayDay Borrowed $300 Paid $410
(you have overpaid this company by $55 and should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund of $55. Loan of $300 + $45 allowed interest = $345. Paid $410-$345 = $55 refund due.)

Fast US Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $475
(you have overpaid this company by $130 and should request to be marked paid in full and request a refund of $130. Loan of $300 + $45 allowed interest = $345. Paid $475-$345 = $130 refund due.)

500 Fast Cash Borrowed $300 Paid $360
(You have overpaid this company byu $15 and should request to be marked paid in full. $300 loan + $45 allowed interest = $345. Paid $360-$345=$15 overpayment.)

Cashnet USA Borrowed $400 Paid $200.
(You owe this company $240. Loan of $400 + $40 allowed interest = $440-$200 paid = $240)

These calculations are based on the Oklahoma law shown above, and on paying back the principal amount borrowed, plus the interest allowed by your state law.

I hope this helps. You need to file complaints on any of these companies that are not operating legally in Oklahoma. Here's the licensee database for Oklahoma:
http://www.okdocc.state.ok.us/ROSTERS/rosterDDL.PDF

Here's where to file a complaint:

http://www.okdocc.state.ok.us/complaint.php

As far as your bank account is concerned, I would go to a manager, swallow your pride, and explain the situation in full to them. Advise them that you cannot possibly get your account straightened out when these companies keep debiting you, and ask them to block ALL ACH debits from your account. If you have other payments that come out by ACH debit, find another way to pay them until this gets cleared up. If your paycheck is direct deposit, ask your employer to issue a paper check until you can get control of this situation. If they won't do that, get a prepaid debit card (Mastercard prepaid debit cards are available at Rite Aid and Walgreens Pharmacies), and have your paycheck direct deposited to that card. (Yes, you can do that.) Then you can use the debit card to pay bills, get groceries, withdraw cash from an ATM...just like you would a checking account debit card, without the risk of overdrafting your account any further.

(I thought I'd better add this after I posted this, sorry for the edit!)

If you have bills hanging over your head like car payments, mortgage/rent/housing payments, food, utilities about to be shut off, or other IMPORTANT basic daily needs - PAY THOSE FIRST. I know it is easier said than done when the PDL's are bleeding your bank account dry, but trust me - they don't care! The PDL's don't care if you have a roof over your head, a car to drive, food on your table, or clothes on your back - they just want their money - and won't stop taking it until YOU stop them from doing it. If it means rearranging your life temporarily so that your paycheck is not going into your bank account and being sucked right back out again by PDL's, then do whatever is necessary to regain control of your money, and then start working out payment arrangements with any PDL's you still legally owe under your state law.

I hope this helps - please post any questions you may have.

Suebeehoney70, that is really great info! Do you know if that is a complete list of all lenders licensed in Oklahoma? (I am also from Oklahoma) If my internet lenders are not on the list, does that matter? What does that mean?

meekshrn - do you mean the list I posted or the Licensee Database? If you mean the list that our original poster on this thread posted, no - that's not a complete list, it's only the ones she's dealing with.

If you mean the Licensee Database I mentioned for OK - then yes, that is a complete list of lenders licensed to do business in Oklahoma.

Follow the link in my earlier post to access the Oklahoma Licensee Database for payday lenders licensed in OK. If they are not on the Licensee Database, then they are not licensed.

You will find internet lenders that allow you to do rollovers in OK - most likely they are not licensed - OK law prohibits rollovers.

meekshrn -

if you would like help, we'd be glad to help you out. Just post the information like the original poster did on this thread - name of the company, how much you borrowed, how much you've paid back, and whether they are internet or storefront lenders.

With that information, we can help you figure it out. Or, if you would rather, you can use the law shown above for OK to figure out how much interest is allowed per loan ($15 per $100 borrowed on loans up to $300; $10 per $100 borrowed on loans $301 to $500).

Let us know if you need any help!

I posted that info in a different area yesterday. I believe you responded to me initially. I'm not sure how to tell you where I posted it, though.

Ok, I'll find it and post there...when you are looking for it, go up to the menu on the left side of your screen and look for "my threads" and click on it...that's where you'll find anything you've posted.
