I tried to settle for the original amount of $390. Please help. I am not giving anyone a penny until I know what is going on. I called the Consumer Regulations in California and found they are not even licensed in California. So agian I am not paying them one cent. How do they even get away with this kind of action?
Please assit if you can.

I had a PDL out with Sandpoint Capital too, and found an easy resolution to settling on my defaulted loan.
Since they are an unlicensed lender, all you owe them is the principle balance of $300, nothing more. How much have you paid to them to-date, including service fees? If you ended up paying back the priciple balance with those lovely $90 finance charges they ding you for twice a month, add those up and apply it against the principle balance. What is left over is what you owe them. If you've overpaid them in finance charges THEY owe YOU money back!
Be sure to close your bank account if you haven't done so already and don't give out your new bank info to anyone. Then send them a letter stating that you are aware that they are an unauthorized PDL company and that you revoke any ACH authorizations on your account, and that they are not to call you at home, your place of business, or contact any references listed on your loan app. Tell them you also revoke any wage assignments they may try to impose on you and give a copy of the letter to your employer.
Most likely everything will work out. I was communicating with a guy named, "Wes" and he sent me the following email after I sent him in an ACH revoaktion letter and called them out on their illegal lending status. Below is a copy of what he sent me:
"I will let you know that if you review the documents that are sent to you at the time of your approval, it states on your loan note and disclosure that the laws of Nevis are the laws that govern this loan and that is what is agreed upon when the loan is approved. According to our records the $300 was lent to you on 8/11/09 and your first due date was 8/25. You have made three payments of $90 on this loan, which total $270. They were made on 8/25, 9/10, and 9/25. This would leave you with a $30 payment due to payoff the $300 principle amount. I will let you know that by settling the account his way, any further application for a loan will be denied. Please let me know when you would like to have the $30 payment processed and I will set it up. This final payment will settle the account.
