payday loans

A year ago I closed my checking account do to PDL's. I still owed them money that I didnt have-needless to say I was in the payday loan trap.
I went up today and reopened my account now I am worried that these companies can still take money out of my account. Does anybody know if this can happen. Thanks

Not unless you have the same account number.

They did give me the same account number.

wow a year have they contacted you????

You better keep a close eye on it then, I have heard stories where a month or even up to a year passes and BOOM, suddenly these illegal lenders debit accounts.

Only 1 has contacted us and they sent it to collections.

Not necessarily true. These people will hunt you down-if you have the same bank, or, in my case, even a different bank, they may debit your account. It happened to me. Fortunately, I was able to have the debit charged back, but I had to file a fraud report. I would think this is pretty rare, though, but if it does happen, make sure to file a fraud report with your bank.
