Any news about the the class action lawsuit for CashCall in california? I have took a loan in 2008 but got into financial difficulties got harrassed and was told that its unacceptable that I dont pay by the next day at 9am since I told them I can pay by nxt month because even though I would like to pay them there's no money to pay. The person was irritated and I know that they are recording me and said that I should use payday loan, ask people to borrow money, or pawn something. I told them that I have done that in the past thats why I got drowned from payday loan to pay them off and they were rude and raised their voices and said that she's beeng talking to me for 10 mins and still I am not going to pay them which I replied I dont have the money so I wont be able to pay and like I told over and over again that I can be able to pay by nxt month. She (Lorena Welsh of CashCall- supposedly a supervisor) said, thats unacceptable, you have to pay by tomorrow 9. Pls let me know how I can get in contact with the class action. I have been paying them regularly since July 2008 and have missed once in Dec 2009 and again this month.

I have a cc loan here in Az. Would like to know what you did there in Ca. to stop the harrassing calls, and lower the payment!!!!!

Does anyone know how to contact the class action suit against Cash Call ? My scenerio is like every one else's on this posting, but I put that account with a Debt Settlement company based in Ca. Cash Call wouldn't even talk to them about a settlement. Now 3 years later a company called Sound Credit Services is calling for Cash Call to collect the money. They haven't threatened me yet, but are strongly demanding payment. I'm laid off at this time and have told them repeatedly, but they insist on me calling friends, family, etc. to get between $ 1000.00 to $ 1500.00 to pay to Cash Call. I told them that I am on unemployment and have other bills to pay like rent, utilities, food and car payments. The guy from the credit service told me that since I find the money to pay for the things previously mentioned, then why can't I pay Cash Call. I told him repeatedly that there's no money left to pay extra bills and besides why did Cash Call wait 3 years to contact me and wouldn't talk to the settlement company that I had hired ? It was their choice, so don't come to me now and demand money forcibly. Can someone Please Help !!!!!!!!

How do I get on the lawsuit? I recently got let go by my employer and haven't been able to make payments now for 2 months and they will not stop calling and harassing me?

Thanks Jeremy

I took a loan out with Western Sky Cash for $700 the loan fee was $300 i recieved $400. This loan was sold to Cash Call. Are they a legal lender in Ohio?

Something doesn't 'feel' right about this, if I were you, I would contact the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions @ 614- 728-8400 and explain the situation. Also contact the Office of Consumer Affairs at 800-750-0750.

Hi,
Is it possible to get the attorney's information. I live in Maryland and I know I have paid CashCall over at least 3 to 5 times. I live in Maryland and if I can stop paying them before the settlement due date that would be great. Or if I could recoup some of my money.

This is great news....

I had a loan with cashcall some years ago, I was late on a payment and they got funky with me on the phone. I do not scare easily, and becasue of the way I was spoken to decided to tell them to shove the loan up thier a@@. They proceeded with the nasty calls and I proceeded to search out a lawyer, I then started the first class action against them, I won....paid me 10k in damages and loan forgivness of 5k, 10 of us settled out of court. They aint scary. it was a joke to be honest at how easy it was to get them to screw themselves by the way they acted over the phone, I must say though, I had one thing on them that most people didn't, however that part is private.

i recieved a loan from western sky they sold the loan to cash call. they told me that my interest rate was one thing, but after my first payment i called them to ask ,how long was this loan? they said 38 mths.they are charging me 11,400 for a 2,600 loan. I complained to them that they lied and it should be illegal . I have been recieving nasty calls from them up to 12 times a day. They talk about my family and call my landlord and friends telling them that im a dead beat.

I WAS TOLD BY CASH CALL THAT THE INTREST ON MY LOAN WOULD NOT START FOR ONE YEAR, BUT AFTER PAYING MY BILL ON TIME FOR SIX MONTHS ALL THE MONEIS I PAID TOWARD MY LOAN WENT INTO INTREST CHARGES.YMY LOAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID OFF BUT IT SILL REMAIN THE SAME NO MONIES WENT TOWARD THE LOAN. DO NOT CAUGHT UP AS I DID

Illegal in Ohio. I have te same exact thing.

Apparently this "lawsuit" had done nothing to stop cashcall. I got a loan from them a few months ago and have even seen them advertising on TV in Florida.

I have filed complaints with the Florida and California State Attorneys General, the FTC, the BBB with FL and CA and nothing will stop them.

I have written letters explaining as described on these boards and they just keep sending emails with pay off plans.

Additionally, they have added my account in a past due status to all three credit bureaus and the Florida payday loan database.

Nothing works.

I'm not sure what state most of you all are in, however, I'm in North Carolina. When I filed a Complaint with the AG office, I was able to speak to a rep that represents these types of cases almost immedately.

They sent a C and D letter along with the law here in North Carolina. Basically, the terms that NC has set - it doesnt matter which state THEY are in, it matters the state YOU are in. So, because I live in NC, and they are issuing loans to residents of NC, they need to abide by NC law. it was almost a 3 page letter.

They keep contacting me after the C&D letter, which is illegal and has a 1K pentalty for every attempt to contact after the C&D letter is sent.

To answer the person's question about credit reporting - I am not sure about YOUR state, but I specifically asked this to the AG office. It's an illegal loan - therefore, reporting to the credit agencies on illegal activity??? STUPID. She told me to pull my credit reports and if it's listed they would personally handle it.

Further, for collections - they have to prove you intended to *walk away* from your loan, or obligation. If you contact them, which I had the AG office do for me, and tell them I was more then happy to pay - as long as the terms are set within the legal limits of the law - proves I'm not walking away. It really helps if you actually talk with someone at the AG office when you do something, ask questions - "what is the law around this?" and they will bluntly tell you.

My loan didn't originate with CC, however, CC agents were there every step of the way.... the originating loan company is under Federal Ingestigation for Fraud - and the owner has done time for mail and loan fraud to my understanding. So most of this doesn't look well. Neither were upfront on the fees - when I was told 50 for fees, CC's agent made it seem like it was 50 dollars. No, it was 50% of the loan....

I understand contracts were signed, but if they are illegal to start with - well... at least that's how the person in the AG's office explained it to me.

I also love when CC tries to call me, I accept the call, so I have records of them contacting me after a C&D letter, and they hang up on ME.... unreal. Don't lose your cool, don't cuse and don't be nasty. It will come full circle.
