Our advice to you is to FIRST close your account so that no more money can be taken out.open a new account in a completely unrelated bank. You are only morally obligated to pay back what you have borrowed. Figure out what you have already paid back and we will walk you thru the process

So can I call my bank tomorrow and ask them to close my account and notify the PDL that I am not paying anymore, that I have already satisfied my debt to them with based on the finance charges I have paid so far? Or do I need to go through the NYS Government offices first?
Thanks for your advice.

wait to be sure your account is closed before you tell the pdl anything.If not they will go in and take everything. Be sure that once your account is closed that the bank will not force it open when an ach hits.
Yiu need to send a short letter to each , saying that you revoke any and all wage assignments you have signed with them ott any of their affiliates. first however close your account.do not stop payments, but close your account

They can not sue you. They are illegal. In order to garnish wages , there needs to be a court order. They are illegally operating companies, no court will rule in their favor. A wage assignment is different. That is completely voluntary. That is why you revoke them. I dont know if any of your companies use them, but I senbt the letter to everyone. Yesa, contact the BBB and the ag. If you register(its free).I can send you a good letter to send. You can also just use the few sentences I used above to revoke wage assidnment

Just wanted you to know been there done that. I'm also from NY - I was drowning with 15 PDL's. I had some of the same ones as you. I did file numerous times with our AG office and they did nothing for me. Some of my best help came from the BBB of the states where the PDL's originated. It took a few months but once I made sure that I paid everyone back what I borrowed I was pretty much able to get them off my back. There were just a few that I currently owed some principle on - like you I had resigned enough times that they had gotten enough "interest" from me that I think they were willing to let me go.

Polly's letter is probably the best, most legal sounding letter to use.

The NY AG is doing something about these illegal payday loans. I for one know first hand. All mine have been forgiven with the AG help.

We can only hope the NY AG is doing something. They have helped some people greatly , while others have gotten conflicting info from then. I am also in NY and they were helpful to me.

I know that when Elliot Spitzer was in office, he really cracked down on these companies. I'm not sure the new AG has the same interest in closing them all down . . . .
