Please Help,
I am in horrible situation. My baby is 6 weeks old and has no diapers. I keep going to the loan store and getting loans and instead of buying diapers I go to the local riverboat to gamble. It is like a job. I go to the pawn shop, get a cash advance, go to the riverboat, lose all the money, then I have to sleep with the owner of the shop to pay off my loan.
My baby is the most important thing to me right now. I need to get this shop closed down. It is bad for myself and the neighborhood. If it doesn't I am going to lose my baby to her daddy.

The place is called Fullerton pawn shops and they are crooks and pimps. Please join in in getting them closed down or else Tijuana, my baby is gone.

Thanks
LaTonia

What does Fullerton pawn shops have to do with you losing your child? I'm sorry, but this seems more like a vendetta against them. You have a gambling problem based on what you have said, therefore, you need to seek help for yourself, so that your child and yourself may have a better life.

As far as your payday loan, we can assist you with advice on how to deal with them, but please list the following information so we can help you.
-Names of each pdl company.
-Whether they are store front or Internet
-How much you borrowed.
-How much you paid so far.
-The state in which you reside.

If you are sincere, then there is a lot more going on than just loan sharking. You need to speak to the authorities on several issues. You state that your baby is the most important thing right now. If so, she needs immediate help. We can't provide that for you on this board. Please speak with the authorities in your locale. Once that is done perhaps we can help you with the loan store. Good luck.

My last post wasn't aimed at you LLW1995. I didn't see your post. I have spoken to the authorities. The problem is this is a town of about 3000. The sheriff and the loan shark are friens. Thats how it works around here.
This gambling seems worse than crack and the pawn shop is enabling it.

LaTonia, you didn't exactly state the type of help you needed. We are a site that is dedicated to helping people get out of debt, and we have offered to assist you in that area. Smile

I understand the dilemma. I too live in a town which is small, 2000 residents and I do understand the mechanics of that scenario. I also understand and appreciate the frustration and fear you have. However, there must be a COUNTY Social Services Unit that could help you. There also must be a STATE Social Services. That's what they are set up for. I know, I worked for Social Services for years. There are issues going on that must be addressed but first and foremost you need to keep your baby safe. Call them, explain what has happened. You need to go OUTSIDE the confines of your immediate town/village. Yes, as shazzers said, there apparently is an issue that is enabling you to try and recover the funds you desperately need to live. You can't throw good money after bad. Everyone does things that they don't want to do and we also do things which we are not proud of. You need to swallow that pride and seek the help you need to get back on the right track. And again, once you get safe, provide us with the info that Shazzers asked for and we can help you with the loan situation. But please, please, get the services you need to get to that point. In the meantime, could you provide us with the State you live in? Who you borrowed from, how much you paid?

Thanks LLW. That gave me a lot of inspiration.

I borrowed over $1,000. He tells me he'll knock off $50 each time i pay him a "special visit". I now owe him around $450.

ok. This is going to get ugly, I know it.

I'm not going to lock it now, in the off chance it may be real. I am, however, going to watch it. If I see anymore references to "special visits" I will lock it. So..LaTonia, if this is fake, your fun will soon end. If it's real, I am sorry.

I am assuming that the riverboat is a legal gambling establishment? If that is the case, I think you need to do more than provide him with a "special visit" to get rid of that debt. What he is doing is WRONG and IMMORAL. Please call Social Services for help.

I completely agree with llw you need to go to social services for help. They are there to help you and make sure your baby is safe. Then I think you should go to the authorities. What you say is happening is very wrong and very illegal. I am sure the authorities would also be able to help you. Have you tried going to them at all? You have to do something so this will stop and you can make sure you and your baby is safe. You also need to consider getting help for your gambling. I'm sure social services could also get you in touch with some help in your area that could help you with the gambling problem. I wish you and your baby the best of luck.

Thanks fins. . .I too am hoping that help can be found for this situation. It's all about being safe and finding help. The loan thing is important to address but there are priorities which need addressing first. The internet is a funny thing but I am all for giving the benefit of the doubt in the beginning. I would hate to see someone turned away without giving help if it is truly needed. Best of luck from me as well.
