After doing research on internet payday loan laws in the state of YOUR STATE, I have found that your internet payday loans are actually illegal. I have also found the following laws to be true applying to payday loans in the state of YOUR STATE in general:
YOUR State Information
I have contacted the YOUR STATE Office of Financial Institutions and the YOUR STATE State Attorney General’s Office regarding your internet payday loans and was informed they are indeed illegal in YOUR STATE and was advised to pay what is due according to principle amount only of the loan.
I am willing to pay the principle amount of the loan only, as advised by my Department of Financial Institutions and my state Attorney General's office.
I demand a physical address to mail payments to, as you are no longer authorized to debit my bank account. You must provide me with a physical address to mail my payments. I will not Money Gram or Western Union any payment. If no physical address is provided for me to mail payment to, no payment will be made.
I demand that any contact be made through US Postal mail or email only. I will need everything in writing to keep accurate records of all communication as per instruction from my state Attorney General's Office.
I prohibit you or your affiliates to contact me via telephone at my place of employment or my home telephone number. I also prohibit you from calling my references listed on my loan. Once I inform you of this, you must stop the telephone contact immediately or you will be once again breaking the laws of the state of YOUR STATE
You are also hereby notified that I am revoking any voluntary wage assignment I may or may not have signed. I no longer authorize you, your company, or your affiliates to attach any part of my wages or contact my employer for your collection purposes.
I am revoking your right to debit my checking account any longer. You, your company, or your affiliates are not authorized to debit my checking account at all. Please be aware that I have informed my financial institution of this situation and they will also be receiving a copy of this correspondence. Any further attempts at debiting my account will be rejected by my financial institution.
I must also inform you that I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and my state Attorney General's Office.
I expect a response from your company no later than 11/06/2007, regarding this matter. This response may only come via US Postal mail or email. No telephone contact is permitted.
Please respond by 11/06/2007, regarding this matter by US Postal mail or by email only.
By signing up for counseling session, your provided details (Name, Email ID and Phone No.) will be forwarded to the company advertising on the DebtCC. However, you have no obligation to use their services.
Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the pay off amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.
Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.
Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.
The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
