I paid $360.00 towards my $300.00 loan to USFASTCASH so I sent a revoke letter. Now they are sending my account to collections. What are my options living in PA??

Pa allows the laws of whatever state the IPDL is located in to prevail. The issue here I think is licensing. I am sure they are not licensed in PA as those types of laws are prohibited and probably not legally collectable. A Pa expert should be along soon to clarify that. I have heard wind of changes in your state recently.

Have you secured your bank account? Have you been in any contact with them about this matter? I know that USFastcash are notorious for not answering emails. You want to make sure you revoke any wage assignment with them you may have signed. If you want any further advice on how to deal with this situation please start a new thread and someone would be happy to assist you. Smile

I'm in Indiana and I believe if anyone applies for a ipdl after july 7, 2007 it is considered null and void? I'm not sure about that though... I have a girlfriend that applied last sept for a loan with USFASTCASH and got it. She didnt know until afterwords that it was not valid. She sent them letters/certified- and she is STILL getting calls from them. They are awful....so far nothing has been recorded on her credit...she is fighting it though. Yes, make sure your bank accounts are safe. They will bleed you dry....

that's right tweedy,they can be a handful.that is only because of there stupid indian reservation exemption.they are not licensed period.therefore if they don't use in house collections
the CA they use is probably as illegal as they are.

Well Tweety, as you know, we always advocate paying back at least the principal amount, however, what she decides to do is exclusively her decision. Smile
