I really need some help. I have sent the letter to Big Limited not to call me. And for the past two days they keep calling me at work. They are also state that going to send a wage assignment to my employment. I have sent a wage revoke letter to my payroll department. What else can I do? I can not afford to have them keep calling me a work?

jennh, nothing. It sounds as though you've done what you had to do. Did you send them a letter revoking debit authorization, do not contact you via telephone, etc...??? You covered yourself with the revoke of wage assignment by giving it to your employer. However, with BIG, they are notorious for calling and calling and calling and calling. Honestly, the only thing to prevent them from calling your workplace is to convince them that "you no longer work there" or they will call forever. They will call your home/cell number forever. They are one of the worst when it comes to phone calls.

Hey there Jenn...got your PM.
BIG is located overseas and are relentless. Most people, as cannr suggested, have just told them "they dont work here anymore", or when they call, just hang up.
I know you send our standard letter that covers all of your bases, so that is great.
Does your payroll dept not know what a wage assgnment is?

A wage assignment is totally VOLUNTARY and can be revoked at any time. You have revoked any wage assignments from these guys. You may need to educate your employer that wage assignments are different from wage garnishments (which require a court order). A wage assignment is voluntary on the employers part (they can refuse it) and it can be revoked (which you did).
| Quote: | | A debtor may negotiate with a creditor a wage assignment plan in which a portion of the debtor's paycheck is transferred to the creditor by the employer. This voluntary agreement is in contrast to garnishment, in which a creditor obtains an order from the court to collect part of a debtor's wages from the employer. Both wage assignments and garnishment are governed by statutes in most states. |

diana, if all you want to do is revoke wage assignment, it's very short and to the point. Just put the name and address of the pdl at the top, then type - "I, (state your name), hereby revoke any wage assignment that I have signed with your company, your partners, or any affiliates." Then type your name. Short and simple. Email it, fax it, mail it certified to the pdl. Then keep a copy for yourself and give a copy to your HR/Payroll person for your file in case they get a wage assignment. They'll have your letter revoking it on file.

Oh I CANNOT begin to tell you how funny this company is. They call me endlessly every day at work and home, so you know what I do. I call the 1-877 number, back to back to back and harass them. I told them that they will not get a dime. To either send me papers showing what I owed so that I can pay them in a money order, or take me to court/arbitration. Which they wont. 5mos ago I borrowed $200, and after they botched my acct # and never deducted money, I came to this wonderful site to read up on them, and decide to not even correct it, and requested address to send a money order, when they refused that was the key for me. 2 days ago I sent an email report about them to DATELINE NBC, begging for investigative help. So anyway from $200, they are saying my bal is "about" $1100. never have given me an exact dollar amt. So I promised them I will make their life hell, and call them just as much as they call me. I've even recorded convos, and informed them that I was doing so, and in FL that is legal as long as you let the other party know. They are so dumb and they will sit there and take the verbal abuse b/c they think that they will eventually talk you down to paying. I even asked one guy, if they have ever look up themselves on the internet to read about their "company" and he hung up on me, so I call him riiiiight back. Each time I call I speak to someone with such an American name, but yet such a foreign voice.
The names I have been given are (and you will laugh):
-Sean Carter
-Ron (and I said let me guess your last name is Johnson, and he actually say "yes ma'am that's right)
-Chris Nathan (then when asked a few mins later he said Nathan Chris)
-Jack Hernandez
-Stewart Fleming
-Audrey Miller
-AK...which is Antonio Kahn (which I mocked him and said ok so that's Mr. Kahn"man")
Oh and the list goes on.
Oh and before Mr. Sean Carter tried to transfer me b/c I was being so difficult I heard him whispering to his buddy that he told me he was Sean Carter, to prep the other guy.
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE INTO THEM WHATEVER YOU DO.
There has to be something done to them. I called my payroll dpt to question them about the legalities of wage garnishments and they say that if someone/a company calls all they can do is give them the employer's address so they can mail legal documents, (and you know B.I.G won't.) So it's a process....Don't believe them, and to all you single mothers who are caught up, you cannot have your wages garnished for a PDL company, then only ppl who can do that is the IRS for tax reasons, or in some extreme court case. SO PEOPLE PLEASE WHAT EVER YOU DO FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, THEY ARE STRONG AND RELENTLESS, BUT YOU BE EVEN STRONGER! I'M SURE WHERE THEY ARE MISSING OUT ON YOUR FEW HUNDRED i'M SURE THEY HAVE GOTTEN THOUSAND IF NOT MILLIONS FROM OTHERS BEFORE US.
I did all this about a month ago, and their calls have slowed down to like maybe twice a week for a few days, now I haven't received a call in about a week or more.
