Does anybody know if Nationwide Cash has a license? I have read conflicting posts regarding their licensing, some say they are licensed in New Mexico and some say they are not licensed. The calls are starting and I would like to know what I am dealing with. Thanks a bunch!

Sorry, I had this posted in the wrong place, I deleted it and reposted here. I'm still new at this and not sure what I'm doing. Crying or Very sad

Teria...doesn't Wisconsin law say they must follow Wisc. Law?? I thought Wisc. was like Indiana....then it wouldn't matter...I got a PIF from them through the AG here.

Thanks for the licensing info Goudah.

Unfortunately WI laws suck. As long as they are licensed somewhere, you have to follow the laws in the state they are licensed in. Got a nasty email from them yesterday, saying I have ingnored all of their attempts to contact me. What a bunch of crap. Yesterday, was the first time I heard anything from them, they received my Revoke Authorization letter in the end of August. They certainly do not have good reviews with the BBB. I will be filing complaints with the NM AG, WI AG, BBB, FTC and anyone else I can think of!

Thanks, it's a bummer...but they will just have to wait their turn. I wish there was some way to put all of these places out of business and make them illegal everywhere. They have caused some many good people a world of problems. Guess all we can do is keep filing complaints, and cause them as many headaches as they cause us!

So, I got an email from this Scott Williams at Nationwide yesterday, saying I refused to respond to ALL their attempts to contact me. The email was THEIR FIRST attempt, anyway, I responded back, stating that I would like to make arrangements to settle the debt, but asked for debt validation. This is the response I got

Sorry to hear about your luck Teri- my account with Nationwide cash went to Ambassador Collections last month and some how Ambassador TRIED to pull 300.00 out of my account on the loan. I went to the bank and explained the situtation to them and they returned my funds to me. I filed a complaint and had not heard a word back.....Ambassador Collections are 1 of the worst CA's I have dealt with.

I hope you can get something in writing...I did but it was an inaccurate amount. I've asked for a correct validation letter and have not had any luck....

Sorry about your luck too Tweety.

I'm a little confused, right now Nationwide Cash is the one contacting me, if they send it to collections, will it go to Ambassador? I thought Ambassador was the same as Nationwide, because they are the one the put the money in my account...or are there two different companies named Ambassador?

I just filed another complaint with my state AG, and will file another one with the BBB and FTC. I just don't want to call this Scott guy back, he's a real jerk, and the bottom line is, I want what I owe in writing.

So did they try pulling the funds from a new account or the original one from when you took out the loan? What a bunch of creeps!

no, they havent tried to pull anything from my new account....I have given NO ONE my account info.....

when I found out that Ambassador tried to pull the funds I called the bank and they gave me the number for ambassador- that was the number they had. When I filed out the complaint with the BBB it was the same company-I think there is just 1 Ambasador Collections that deal with Nationwide Cash. I could be wrong though...When I called the number (Ambassador) the man I talked to was a "dave schofield" he told me to " do what you need to do" Believe me I did.....

Well that's good to hear...call me paranoid, but I could picture these evil companies hiring computer hackers to get info on us!

I guess I'll just let my buddy Scott Williams send me to collections...cause I don't have a dime to send them right now....maybe the next person to hassle me will be a tad bit nicer than Scott....Yeah right!

Just being nosy, I looked at BBB. Nationwide Cash is listed as "loans". Ambassador Financial is listed as "collection agency" in Phoenix, AZ. Are they one in the same? Lord only knows. Nationwide Cash is rated "F" on BBB (are you surprised?) and Ambassador Financial states no complaints. Huh. I don't know here....
