route 66 funding payday - read all about this

I think so and also MTE financial

ameriloan also

well i did it. i closed my account tonight, explained the situation to the fraud department. my question is still has anyone settled with Route 66 or left the loan in "collections"? Also, has anyone had trouble with them calling the "references" provided?

They just called my job a few minutes ago and threatened to put me in jail on my voicemail. My initial loan was through Route66, but somone is calling me from a company called B.I.G. I know it is the same guy who calls all of the time. They are crazy ass people!!!!!!!! B.I.G. is another name that they go by so watch out for this name also. I have an online account that can receive deposits, but you can not debit from the routing/account number so they are pissed because everytime they try to debit from my account the bank tells them they can't. My account is for deposit only! Good luck guys!

I don't think Route66 will settle. They ar a pain in the backside. Even though our loan was PIF and then some, they still called us for along time. I spoke to them twice (although they kept insisting on talking to my husband) but for the most part communicated with them via email. They sent me a couple of things when we had ACH withdrawals reversed saying there must have been a mistake, which I told them there wasn't. The called some more after that but let it go to voice mail. Not that I know of have they tried my references, yet because I am sure someone would have told me. As far as collections, I don't know if they turned me over or not. I don't answer my phone to unknown callers. Figured if they really wanted to talk to me, they would leave a message, which they don't, so....

If you account is PIF, personally, I would not worry about them.

2nd, how are you today?

So Route 66 has virtually left you alone? I hear that they are the same as GFS, is that true?

2nband-- What exactly is PIF?

Sswtt - I had a loan with route 66 and after a few months they finally left me alone. I think that's the best you can do with them . . . .

PIF = Paid In Full

THanks goudah. They haven't called today... so we'll see.

Sswett ~ I am doing ok. Glad that it is FRIDAY!!! Been a long and BAD week. I am so ready to go home, but it is only 11:25 here and I have until 4:30 to go. Ugh, this day is going so slowly!

For the most part Route66 has left me alone, finially. Like I said before, if they have called, they have not left a message and I don't answer unknown caller calls. They only have my cell phone number, not my home, and if I don't want to hear the phone ring, I will turn the ringer off. If they have turned me over to a collection agency, I don't know that either for I have not been contacted, (no messages on phone or any letters or emails). I really don't know if they are the same as GFS or not. I just know they are a pain in the behind and am glad they are out of my hair, (I think). LOL

Paid in Full is what PIF stands for . . . .

Yep and I like those PIF's!! :P


I think they were getting mad at me the couple of times I talked to them because basically I never let them get a word in edgewise. I told them the account was PIF, per the state of NC, they couldn't tell me they were not doing business in my state because I knew otherwise, their authorization to debit my account was revoked, same with contacting my employer and garnishing my wages, and I was aware of their tatics they used to try to get people to pay and it wasn't going to work, (I used examples) and that if they needed to contact me, they needed to email me or through the USPS. They kept insisting on talking to my husband since the loan was in his name and I told them they were dealing with me because it was my account the money was coming out of and he was unavailable. First time they hung up on me and the second time I talked to them, which they kept asking for my husband, I told them I said everything I needed to say the first time I talked to them and I hung up on them. I felt so empowered!!! If I had not found this site and had did some reading and gotten some help, I am sure they would have intimidated me, but they didn't and I was so proud of myself!!!

Glad things are getting better for you!

Thanks...they are getting there slowly. Still have a lot of things to take care of, but am trying to take it one day at a time. Now that I don't have all those pdls coming out of my account, I have a little extra to take care of some other things, providing things quit happening...like my car!!! I made it through prom, so now it is graduation. Looks like we are not going to be able to go to my grandmother's 90th birthday celebration because funds are too tight and it is killing me not to be able to go. This woman helped raise me and I have no idea how much longer I am going to have her. She is my last living grandparent, but we just can't swing it. We still have graduation to get through, summer music camp for my daughter, marching band camp for my daughter, our car insurance starts doubling in June, my son may be leaving in the fall, they school starts....just too much and I feel overwhelmed, but am really trying to take things one day at a time. I keep hoping my husband's work will pick up so we can try to come up with the money, but it isn't and doesn't look like too much OT anytime soon, so....unless we win the lottery, looks like we are going to miss the celebration and I just pray that she sticks around for a while afterward. It will tear me up if something happens and I don't make it home.

Ok, but other than that, we are doing better! Have to think positive you know.

Honey, if I had the money I would send it to you....I was not fortuante enough to know my granparents

Thanks Leah ~ I appreciate that. I know sometimes things don't work out like we want them to and we just have to roll with the punches. I am sorry you didn't get to know your grandparents. I know on my dad's side of the family, I never met my grandfather. He drowned when my dad was 9 years old and my dad watched it happen. My grandfather was saving one of my dad's sisters at the time. She was saved, but he wasn't. My grandmother on my dad's side, I met her but was not close to her. She was a very cold person and she hated my mother! She lived in Michigan and we just never saw her. Even my dad really didn't have a desire to see his mother. 2 of his sisters are still in Michigan, he lost one a few years back. I had always been very close to my mom's side of the family. My grandfather passed away right after I separated from my first husband in '96. That was very very hard to deal with, but my grandmother held on. She only has a 3rd grade education, had 9 children (her first one died right after birth) and has never driven a day in her life. She says she wants to live to be 100! She is a wonderful! She has always been there for my and she loves to show off her homemade quilts (no machine stitching on them) and she has gotten my daughter into sewing. I cook and my daughter sews (I hate sewing). But nothing I can do right now and hopefully I will see her in Nov.
