Has anybody had dealings with EAD group in Columbia, So. Carolina?

i just got a call from eag and my bank account has been hit for 1000 dollars on a 200 dollar loan crazy i wish i had their bank acct number

Anyone who has dealt with Ashley or Jared should CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. My bank sent me a new check card number and deleted the one that I gave to EAD Group. Bank of America told me they are going to keep trying to debit the account. My advice is to call the federal trade commission, South Carolina Consumer Affairs, and the Better Business Bureau. I have done online complaints with all 3. It doesn't take long. The more people that complain, the better it will be.

Oh my goodness this is unbelievable!!!!! I feel so bad for you guys Ashley and Jared should go to jail.

I have just started dealing with them and they debited my account for $100 before they even sent me a collection notice. They then sent me a collection notice on a handwritten envelope and provided a false business license number. I took it to a friend of our family who is a retired lawyer and he said not to close my bank account, because if they do it again, it is only additional proof. I notified my bank of the issue and they were extremely helpful and refunded the unauthorized debit and provided a statement for me to use if I sue. So far I have contacted the AGs in my state and theirs and did the BBB complaint too. I am waiting to see if anything else happens before I make a decision to sue. I got my money back, but because they acted this way, I feel as though I want to proceed with legal action...but is it worth it?

I spoke with a person at the South Caroline Department of Consumer Affairs and she said she could not provide specifics but there have been numerous complaints about this company and they are under investigation. When I stated they had provided a false license number, she asked me to fax the letter they sent as well as a copy of the handwritten envelope. I did and she called me back the next day saying they would investigate and if I had anymore unauthorized debits to my account I was to call her immediately and fax her a copy of the transaction.

I have a feeling this is some ramshackle operation that popped up on someone's home. They are about to learn the hard way, I think.

I can believe all of these complaints about this group. I had dealings with them just tonight. I spoke with a Mr. Jaffin and he said he will only deduct $32 but instead when I go and look at my account they deducted $320, which caused my account to over draft. When I spoke with them again, the woman said they was nothing she can do and it was my problem and of course this made me upset and she told me to stop whinning like a baby and act like an adult and do I need a moment to start acting like an adult.

I would close the bank account ASAP and dispute the charges before they hit it again.

i had dealings with EAD Group on Feb 28th. I spoke with a Kyle McCormick. I had made arrangements to make payments on two seperate dates to take care of a loan. They then debited my acct 5 days earlier than anticipated and they kept debiting it until my balance was paid in full. this cause me to overdraft my chcking acct and take on several overdraft fees. I am filing a complaint with the BBC and Federal Trade Comissiin.

I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Comission today. So, if the more people do it will close them down.

Good. You are right the more complaints the better chances something will be done.

I have never heard of this group, but now I will not forget their name. I feel lucky I have never had to deal with them.

THESE " CREATURES " ARE THIEVES. THEY MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH ME TO PAY $ 75.00 EVERY 2 WEEKS TO REPAY A LOAN. THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND AN E-MAIL CONFIRMING THESE ARRANGEMENTS. INSTEAD THEY TOOK $ 75, $ 75, $ 75 AND $ 74 ALL ON THE SAME DAY CAUSING ME TO PAY $ 112 IN NSF FEES. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THEY WOULD CREDIT BACK MY ACCOUNT AND PAY THE NSF FEES AND STICK TO THEIR PROMISE. THAT WAS IN JANUARY AND STILL NO MONEY. THEN ON MARCH 17, 2009 THEY TOOK AN ADDITIONAL $ 20 FROM MY ACCOUNT. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY $ 2, BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY REASON FOR THE DEBIT. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE THEM ANY CHECKING ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. THEY WILL SCREW YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN.

They got me today as well. I authorize them to tak $175 out of my account using my debit card yesterday to come out on my account today. Instead they charged $300 yesterday immediatly to my account. After reading the comments here I have already called and canceled my check card so that they can not get anymore. I wish I would have read this before I agreed yesterday, as now I had other items I needed payed returned. I know I was in the wrong for getiing over my head with the payday loan people, but taking people that are obviously having problems making ends meet, and cheating them even out of even more money is ridiculous. I will be calling the FTC as well.

I had issues with this company and had to close my checking account. I was to pay the remainder of my balance which was 432.00. They had taken over 1200 out of my account and I would call and get rude comments stating that they can charge as much interest as they want.

Well after my bank called them and got the same response I was advised to cancel my account. Which I did.

However they still try to take more money out of my account. I only know that because my sister works at the banks and sees that they are trying to debit again and again. Thank god.

I did call the FTC and also the South Carolina AG's office. This company is horrible. I sent a letter to them stating that I was paid in full. I am now getting phone calls from their number and when I answer they hang up. Thank god for caller id. I am waitng for this company to get caught for their illegal practices. Ashley and Jared are the rudest people. I really dont understand how they sleep at night.

I advise everyone who has had a problem with this company to call the the FTC and the South Carolina Consumer Complaint Department.

I also have a issues with this company EAD group wich is also called MACB and also paymybill. I had a payday lone for 420.00 after I payed them the 420.00 5 mounths later theye started taking more money out of my account. over 740.00 + the 420.00 I payed them. I reported them and now looking to see if refund is going back into my account. Theye are the werst Co I ever worked with...

The phone number they use is registered to Robert Espinoza. They tried to get me to give them a credit/debit number didn't happen. I can't tell you how many lies they have told me in the last 24 hours. They won't send me anything in writing saying I owe this money and that unless I pay it then they were going garnish my wages for up to $4000.

They can't garnish if they are illegal.
