Ok, should I consider this one closed? I sent their CA a cease and desist and DV letter and heard nothing. I filed with the DFI, BBB, and the FTC. I live in WI. The BBB couldn't continue with the case since they couldn't find a valid street address for these people in IL. The DFI emailed these people in June, telling them to respond by July 3, and I haven't heard anything or received any calls since April. So should I forget about this one? I didn't overpay this one either. I took out $350 with them, and I paid $350. I am just worried that they may come after me years later, but then again I have filed complaints.

That's kind of a hard one . . . Sometimes getting them to leave you alone is a win, but you always have the worry of it popping up again in the future . . . . I would keep a file of everything, just in case they do try something.

joshua, maybe they realized they were ILLEGAL and went into hiding. If the government agencies can't find them (Good Lord!) and they're not contacting you any longer, I'd write them off. HOWEVER, I would hold on to every single piece of paper you have regarding it. Print everything, copy everything, and stash it somewhere. That way, when you're 92 years old and they decide you owe $4,000 in fees, you can pull those dusty papers out and tell them to stick it!

Ok, so I asked for an update from my DFI on National Money Store, and still after the DFI sent a second email to them, they haven't responded. I have my documentation on file, but I am not sure if I should contact them myself after I have paid off some priority other bills first. They never responded to the BBB either. Any advice?

Just an opinion here....let sleeping dogs lie. Chances are they are gone for now but have not forgotten you. As Cannr said, I would just keep all my documentation in case they decided to pop up again 50 years later.

Joshua-
Did NMS send you to collections? I think Confused

that they sent me to Greg Patton at AS Associates. (Sorry, but the name gets me every time Wink

) I was rude to him (so he says) by not giving him my name when I told him I was not at work and he said he was signing off on my file and that the district attorney would be contacted. PM me with any dealings you had with NMS or GP, so that I might know what to expect. I still owe NMS, but everything was returned and they have not responded to my e-mails. Thanks.

I haven't dealt with Greg Patton at AS Associates. But NMS did send me to collections back in April, and Henry Jay at AS Associates dealt with me...very unpleasant experience. Anyway, I sent a cease and desist as well as a DV letter to AS Associates in April and sent them certified, which they received. Since then I have received no phone calls or collection attempts even in the mail from them.

joshua, don't kick the sleeping dog. Let it lay there for now. You're DFI is working on it. They're not responding for a reason. However, as I have learned, do NOT dispose of any documenation whatsoever. Keep it all. 4 months from now, you might have pdl's you haven't heard a word from all pop up within one weeks time. Unreal. Let the DFI keep handling it for now.

National money store- That company never responded to my complaints with them earlier this year...My account was sent to AS& ASSociates....

I OVERPAID them and AS&ASSociates told me that I too had committed check fraud- yada yada- They never responded to my complaints so I think we SHOULD let them go hide under their rock a bit more...If they resurface at a later date I am totally prepared to give them an ear full...

I need to know who is AS & Associates? Are they a legal firm and do they have the right to threaten you for payment, even though you don't owe the money.

No one has the right to threaten you for payment.

They are a nasty CA that uses every scare tactic in the world to try to intimadate you into paying. If you use the search box above , there is a lot of info on this company
