Payday loans in Nebraska

I live in Nebraska and have 4 payday loans which were rolled over several times so I've paid more than I borrowed but still owe on each. I stumbled on this forum and realized many of the payday loans are not legal. I went to the Department of Banking and Finance website and searched each of the 4 and could not find a license. If I'm reading correctly, internet payday loans are not legal, they have to be store front in Nebraska and can only charge $15 per $100 with a maximum loan term of 31 days. I found the c & d letter which I sent to each of the 4. I've heard back from one, Advance Me Today, and this is what they said:

This is a St. Vincent company. St Vincent and the US are both parties to the General Agreement on Trade in Services, a treaty which specifically permits companies in one country to make consumer loans to citizens of the other. Under the treaty, we are only obligated to follow the federal laws of the US. We are not required to obtain state licenses

So since they are not in the US they don't have to abide by the states rules?? Thanks!

Blah blah, just a bunch of legal jargon that means nothing to a US citizen. You don't have to abide by their laws either.

One of the other ones I had was Cash Direct Express which I took out a $250 loan and have paid back $220. They won't give me a physical address to mail the remaining principal, they just keep emailing me back that they are licensed in Deleware and they are bound by the laws of Deleware. I know I owe this and want to get it paid off, what do I do? Another one I have is Sure Advance which was a $400 loan that I've paid $811.40, they are not responding to my emails or faxes at all. The last one I have is Bottom Dollar Payday which was a $300 loan and I've paid $510. They aren't responding to my emails or faxes either, but I did get an email from them this morning that my payment was returned by my bank and I need to call to correct it. I've emailed the NE dept of banking and finance and she did confirm they have to be physically in NEbraska to be licensed, but she said just because they are not licensed does not mean the loan is illegal. What does that mean? Oh, all the loans were done on the internet. Thanks for all the help!

Do they have access to your bank account? If so, you should probably close it as soon as possible. Read this thread for more info.

I went to my bank and told them what was going on and got my account closed and a new one opened last Thursday before I sent out the letters.

to address a couple of points.

1)again your state law prevails and that is another stupid attempt to lie,and sway you.
2)the response from the bank dept is why i don't advise going to them for info on these loans as they sre not supposed to interpret the laws.go to your AG for further advice and info in the future as any place not licensed in your state is illegal in your state.period.

Cash Direct Express is also known as Government Employees Cedit Center.....google it and you will find an address in Delaware. They received a desist and refrain order in California for not having a license. Bet the same in Nebraska will/would happen.

I emailed Sure Advance again and told them if I did not hear anything back from them by tomorrow, I will be contacting my Attorney Generals office. They immediately emailed me back and said they are reviewing my loan and wanted to know if I had yet filed any complaints. I replied back right away and said I had not yet but will be tomorrow if it is not resolved today. Within 5 minutes, I had an email from them saying they came to a resolution suiting both parties and attached was a PIF.

Oh how they mighty will fall when threatened. Way to GO!!!!!!

I need more help! I just got a call at my work from TRS Recovery. They are calling about the Bottom Dollar Payday loan I took out. I paid $510 and the loan was for $300. She said I have committed bank fraud and I owe another $476.50 and they are sending a wage assignment to my work. I told her I needed something in writing and proof of this debt and she said I already have the proof, I have the contract. I asked for a fax number which she rattled off so fast I couldn't get it all down. I said I needed the fax again because I didn't get it all and she said she already gave it to me and wouldn't give it again. I live in Nebraska and this was an online payday loan. I sent the c & d letter to bottom dollar payday and haven't heard a word from them, that was over 2 months ago. What should I do?

Can you tell me whether you ever resolved your issue with Advance Me Today? I am currently in the process with them and trying to get out! I amd in California and they are illegal here. Sent them a C & D letter this morning and got the same response you did. I have blocked them (hopefully) from getting more $$ out of my account but not sure what else to do now??

I dealt with Cash Direct Express. I had overpaid my loan and they crumbled right away. They will send you a response about being licensed in Delaware, but I just sent my original letter again.

After that they noted my account as paid in full and never heard from them again.

I'm trying to work with US Fast Cash, EZ Pay Day, Horizon and Vista...anyone work with them before. Once I'm done with them, I'm D O N E!!!!!
