Does anyone have a sample of a complaint filed with the AG, BBB and FTC?
I want to make sure I fill the information out properly.
Thank you!

I wouldnt waste time doing a BBB complaint. They are a membership organization and are legally powerless.

I agree. It's a waste of time.
As for a form, the FTC has an online form and your AG's office may have one online as well.
I live in PA and was able to fill out the AG's complaint and submit it online.
They sent me a letter last week with a file # as well as the name of the person handling the complaint.
I just sent them a follow-up letter (because they like any add'l info in writing).
Payday-Loan-Yes has been harassing me at work for 3 weeks now. When I told them the other day that they would be talking to the PA AG's office soon, the guy on the other end got the cocky tone of voice and said "and why is that"? Why the h _ _ _ does he think? They are some of the worst scumbags out there and need to be stopped.

I don't think it is a waste to file with the BBB. Thats how I was able to settle with some of my pdl's and I even got a refund from one of them through the BBB

It is never a waste of time, this can help other to avoid the pitfalls of some of these companies. Also it may help some government agency.

I agree with Dawnlango, it is not a waste of time. I settled with ameriloan through the BBB and today in the mail I got a closed account from ARM of Florida with the help of the BBB serving Northeast Florida. So for me the BBB has been great!!!
