RE: Case # XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ms Name Removed for you protection - Goudah:
This original agreement is from 2005, and has been in collections since 08/12/05. The customer had every opportunity to print out her contract agreement when she applied and had access to it via password also. She had a 48-hour window in which to cancel the agreement and return the funds without incurring a fee. In addition an account summary was sent before each debit and it explained the terms once more and all of her options for repayment. This customer did not utilize any of these options. She agreed to an original balance of $325.00.
In an effort to assist this customer we can offer a reduced balance of $100.00 until 02/15/08 only. This gives her credit for the $225.00 already paid toward original balance of $325.00. We are not responsible for any bank fees she incurred on her own. This must be paid via Moneygram.
Moneygram Instructions:
Pay to: One Click Cash
Receive code: 4310
City/State: Niobrara, NE
Acct: Compliance/11330572
If the reduced offer is not received by 02/15/08, the account will CONTINUE for the full amount due of $430.00, per the contract. We are the original creditor and not a 3rd party, so calls will continue at the contact numbers given to us.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Respectfully,
Compliance Department



Should i take them up on this and pay this even tho my original loan was for 250 and i have paid that over double fold? i sent a complaint to my states attrny general? THey say they are the original creditors but the calls i get are from Westbury Ventures not them.

Thank you for editing my post, i thought i had but i guess i missed somethings. Yes I have already overpaid them, but they say they will continue collection calls. I can send them a moneygram for 100 and be done w/ them forever. I am just so tired of fighting these damn companies. I can go into a moneygram agent pay 100 in cash and be done? WOuldnt that just be the easiest method. I am still fighting WEstbury Ventures/ The loan shop but i have had no response from them at all.

Oh i am in Louisiana. Rollovers are illegal and yet they say i should have "known" that...lol, Yeah well they should have "known" they were illegal.

I personally wouldn't pay them another red cent. You have overpaid them...they are hoping people will still send them money...I had dealings with the loan shop/westbury ventures and I filed a complaint with the Kansas City Mo BBB bureau and the state of delaware bbb and the attorney general's office of my state and mo and delaware and I got a response from them with a pif. Hang in there and don't cave into them.

You should take it into consideration . . . . Frankly, when I was going through my pdl mess, if I had extra money I could have paid them to get off my back I would have. $100 is not a ton of money. Yes, it's more then you legally owe, but you have to consider the amount of time and effort it will take you to clear up the loan. What is that time worth to you? It may be worth it to pay them the $100 and be done with them.

but they wont stop calling me at work, i dont care if they call my phone a million times at home, that doesnt bother me at all, i just want them to stop callign my work and they state they dont have too. THey are already illegal so they dont care. I just wonder if it would be easier to just pay off the 100 and be done w/ them. I got into the payday loan cycle when my husband was deployed b/c our money was so tight but that was in 2005 and i have stayed far away from them since. Is there a statue of limitations on pay day loans?

That's what I'm saying, it may be worth it to pay the $100 and be done with them. That is something only you can decide . . . . . Either way is a good choice, you just have to choose what is best for you.

If you can afford to pay them the 100 dollars then do it...just to be rid of them! Also make sure you have that agreement in writing and you get a PIF. If it doesn't bother you to fight for your rights then continue to fight on. However if you do agree to send the money the next time they called I would let them know when you will send it and to cease the phone calls or the deal is off.

Well, I know it's a royal pain in the butt to deal with these pdl companies, and all the paper work, complaints and sleepless nights of fighting for your rights involved in doing so, but I look at it in a different way. You've overpaid this comapany, they've violated the law, and how many other people's complaints have they responded to with this same exact letter (basically)? Just think about 10 people (VERY low average of people as an example) overpaying them and settling for a $100.00 reduced offer, that's $1000.00 they did NOT deserve to get. Guess I am a fighter, and I would rather do everything within my power to make business difficult for these pdl companies, rather than cave in and get them off my back. I look at things from a wider spectrum rather then what will benefit me short term. I also consider the thousands of other people out there who are caught up in the same pdl vicious circle. It's totally your call, but if it were me, NO, I would fight, because that's just me. With all due respect to you and those who choose not to, this is just my opinion for what it's worth. Smile

Many people have the fighter attitude like you shazzers - I'm just saying it's really a personal decision that you have to make for yourself if you want to fight it to the end or if you want to settle and be done sooner. There really isn't a right or wrong, it's what's best for this person in this situation.

I agree with you goudah2424, I can understand why some people choose not too, and would never judge them for doing so. Smile
