route 66 funding payday - read all about this

I totally agree all payday loans are bad. They get you in the habit of not budgeting your money. But I have worked with one company that didn't harass me and made the deposit and debited the right amount when they said they would. They are Eastside Lenders. They have been the best of all evils a few times I was in a pinch.

Since I have not yet cancelled connection with Route 66 (still working it out with the bank) I had an idea: I am going to call and tell them I work at a new job and give them an old cell number. Has anyone tried this? This is just a precautionary measure to ensure my old job does not get bombarded with phone calls. My mind is overloading with stress and worry over this, figured its worth a shot.

Do they send reminder emails? If so, there should be a section for change of info, click on it and change your info.

I am certainly glad I did that-- I found that I gave them a line that goes directly to my bosses office, since (assuming they were trustworthy at the time-- and also after they PROMISED never to call my work) they needed a contact # for a supervisor. *phew*
Hopefully they dont keep archive.

Anyone heard from them in the past week or did someone pour salt on them and they dried up like slugs

How long have they been bugging you for? They stopped calling me after about 2 months of harrassment. I haven't had so much as an email from them in over 4 months . . . .

how was everyone's experience as far as the frequency of calls? In my case, I gave them my cell phone number and will most likely not be available when the fun begins. I changed my work number twice so that if they call defunct number 1, they dont resort to my original workplace and rather call defunct number 2. Has anyone had experience with changing their work/house number and they still call the original?

If they have tried calling me, I don't know it. I get calls from "unknown callers" at times and do not answer any of them, but have not had any messages either.

I am still confused about the situation collectively for people who have posted on this forum; has anyone made a settlement with them, or simply ignored calls after telling them you paid the loan fair and simple?

forgot to let everyone know, i contacted my bank and heard back (via email, no phone call, of course) that they can put a stop on payment (non-plural) for 30 dollars. Because Route 66 was authorized via phone and provided a contact number with them, they cannot legally do anything to stop. The woman in the email advised me to close my account if i am having problems with them. This seems a little iffy for a bank to be telling me this! I am afraid Rt66 will keep trying to debit and debit my old account and the bank will close my new account. I am DEFINITELY not paying a 30 dollar fee to stop payment when for all i know its just that one payment!

I can't believe a bank would do or say that. That urks me. You are the consumer. I have heard others come on and say their bank did the same thing. If you can I would tell them you are taking your business elsewhere. It is your account and you are allowed to stop ACH debits. My bank allowed me this oportunity, I did pay the fee which is good for six months, but I ended up closing and opening a new account because the bank was concerned they may try to hit my account under one of their DBA's.

Close or freeze your account A stop payment will onlw work on a specified amount. Route 66 and others, Rio Resources aka Geneva Roth aka MTE being the worst, will change the amount and come right back over and over. They will change their name so you don,t realize you are paying the same people twice. Rio hit my account with three different names with three different amounts, then turned me over to Allied for collection of more than the original debt when they failed at withdrawals. They got a validation letter from me and only responded to part of it. I am not done with them. I am considering a criminal complaint against Rio. When Allied hears that they will be a party to it they will probably drop me like a hot rock. I hope.

Frogpatch - Were you able to get things worked out with Mike?

When I post a reply it will not go through. It says "name already in use' Do I have to log in just to reply under frogpatch? I think he has my log in OK now.

Yeah, since you signed up as a member it's only your name to use. Guests can't post under frogpatch. So you do have to sign in to post as frogpatch.

Poor frogpatch I feel bad for you that you still can't log in.
Hey what all does Rio cover? Are they a dba of 500fastcash, Nationwide Cash, or UCL?
