At your present situation, you can go for debt settlement which can give you a great relief.

As per PDL Assistance is concerned it doesn’t seem to have a great reputation among the consumers. According to BBB, there are 10 complaints against them within a span of last 12 months.

In addition to this, there doesn’t seem to be a good consumer feedback in our forum too. Click HERE to see a response from one of our community members who was enrolled with PDL Assistance.

In such a position you can discuss about the possible ways-outs with our community’s professional expert, which is a free service HERE.

Just at a glance, it looks like most of your pdl's aren't licensed or legal to lend but more research is required to know for sure, unfortunately I am under time restraints this morning, but I am sure someone else would be most happy to assist you. I'm pretty sure you could do this yourself, instead of paying a company to do it for you. All it takes is a little research and persistence, that is what I would do. It's completely up to you though, some people care not to deal with it, while others do. Anyway, there are many people here who are willing to walk you through this, and believe me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so hang in there, someone will be along to advise you shortly. Smile

Thank You all for your quick replies.

I actually think for some of these companies I may have overpaid (I have only been able to access some of my most recent bank statements) So I am sure Ive paid way more than what is legal to some of these companies. Any assistance in drafting the applicable letters (if Ive overpaid is a partial refund possible) and the addresses of where I need to send these would be immensely appreciated.

You can do this yourself Coulrophobic Smile Atleast 95% of your PDLs are totally ILLEGAL! That will give you the leverage you need in dealing with these companies. Get educated in your state laws, file complaints, and demand your refunds! You will be fine, we are all here to help you Razz

You can try for a refund, all they can say is no, but your chances increase of getting a refund if you file complaints and express a refund is due you. I wouldn't count on a refund though, make sure you demand a paid in full letter!

Positive side is most of your PDLs are illegal and UNDERPAID. Three are $30 short of being paid in full so you may be done with this before you know it. Like anyaroberts said, educate yourself, so study, study, study. Keep us posted and if you need help, just ask.

Can anyone please advise on the format of the letters I need to send and where to send them to for these lenders? I am not going to go through PDLAssistance and will do this on my own.

Can i try asking for refunds with PDL companies that I may have already completed a loan with that are illegal and is already paid in full?

To Whom It May Concern:

It has been brought to my attention that your company is not licensed to lend in my state, therefore making the contract I had with you null and void. I will agree to pay the principal amount of the loan, however, I will need a physical address to send payments in the form of money orders. These are my terms, if you are not willing to accept my terms, then you will not receive any payments.

You are hereby notified that I am revoking ANY and ALL ACH transactions made by your company on any of my personal accounts. If you make any attempts to do so, I will be forced to take legal action against your company. I am also revoking any and all wage assignments I may or may not have signed with your company, my employer has been notified about this matter.

As of today ________, the only contact you may make with me is either through email, or USPS. I also demand your company and any affiliates of your company cease and desist all contact with me (except what is stated above), my employer, or any references I have listed on my account.

Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Your name

Probably, the best way to locate the addresses, is by placing the name of the company, ei., "Magnum_Z address" into the search box in the upper right hand corner of this forum, that will bring up a lost of topics, just go through the topics and you will most likely find the addresses. I emailed all my letters, over and over again. lol! Just sayin! That way you will have a paper trail as proof they received it! You might also want to include the EFTA (reg E) in those emails.
