AmandaB- Would you mind sharing any experiences you have with Route 66 Funding? I have had and am still having difficulty dealing with them, so I'd like to hear about your experience with them and if you handled them differently (and maybe more effectively) than I have. Thanks so much!

Route 66 Funding is scamming a lot of people. If you have a loan with them, it is necessary that you must close your checking account first. Open a new account and don't give out the details to the company. When someone from Route 66 Funding tries to harass you on charges of bank fraud, file your complaints with the local attorney general's office. Do it in writing. This company is assumed to have broken many federal as well as state laws.

The company should have the loan contract with you in writing. Verbal agreements are not valid. Their refusal to give you anything in writing can be used for legal actions against them. I have read some of the threads about this company in the following urls.

AndyYoung- That's exactly how it has happened with me! The whole loan agreement was rattled off on the phone in poor English, I've never received anything in writing from them, except a nasty email which I couldn;t respond to, and when I closed out my checking account they threatened me with bank and check fraud!

same with me. I am having a awful time. my bank is trying to charge me with bank fraud and not closing my account, so it is extremely negative and i am not sure what to do.

That happened to me as well; I was originally with Wells Fargo, that was the account the pdl's were debiting from. One of the first things I did was to go an open an account with a different bank before the situation at WellsFargo got reported to anyone; Hibernia/Capital One let me open an account with no problem. There might be a couple of ways you can handle the bank situation- what did they say to you about the account and the bank fraud thing?

i have a loan with them and my accounts closed but haven't received any calls or email from them. even though my accounts closed the pdls still are trying to debit my account. the bank called me today told me that they would continue to keep my account closed even though i paid off my loan with them.

I just "got approved" for a loan with Route 66 Funding. Before I realized what type of company they were I gave them my information. When they called I told them I was declining their service and to remove my info from their system. Has anyone else had an experience like this?

This is the most unethical company you will ever meet! They will threaten and harass you from India on a daily basis. They will threaten wage garnishment, putting on your credit bureau etc. (none of which they can do). Even though they are overseas, they violate the US laws...and they do not care. They even threatened to call my references to make them pay (which the references are not responsible). They think people are idiots and intimidation is their practice.

BTW: the address in Albany is a FRONT....the only use that as an address....nothing else.

They operate out of London. Everyone should call and harass them they way they do everyone else. Funny, when you call they have different names each time. Sometimes they have slipped up and answered the phone with a different company name...so the scams continue. The main number is 1-877-564-7738. I am going to see if there is a way to contact the police in London.

i took out a loan with them and so far they have taken out $295 for a $200 loan and they're telling me that i still need $259 to close the acct.

Ask Route 66 Funding to give you the statement in writing and show that you owe a balance. They need to put down all the payments done by you in the past towards this account. The charges must be within the permissible interest rates as per your state laws. Get in touch with them in writing. This will help you to keep records.

they don't care about laws...USA or otherwise. They are leaches...and they think they can call your employer and bad mouth you too to collect. I took out $200 and they say I owe $825, because they keep adding all these fees because I wouldnt pay all their ridiculous charges. NOW, I call them continuously ALL day long...they hate that I disrupt their business now. Call 877-564-7738...press 2....and just chat about NOTHING...they hate it. They wont allow you to send a payment, because they want to get ahold of your bank account. If they withdraw money, go to your bank immediately and have it reversed and tell them it was not authorized. The bank acts on your behalf NOT them.

My boyfriend somehow got involved with these guys and didn't tell me what they were up to until just recently (about 2 months after the initial loan). I'm an attorney, but deal with injured workers, not this kind of stuff. Anyway, I wrote them a nasty lawyer letter and copied his bank (which isn't being as cooperative as they advertise they are on tv). We are in Florida, so here is a brief summary of the Florida law that I found on the State's CFO's website.

I don't hope to get much out of it, but I did mention in the letter that any further phone calls or deductions will result in us bringing a lawsuit in addition to reporting this to state, federal and international authorities. I also stated that any future phone calls will be recorded. I recommend telling anybody who calls you that you are recording them and my guess is that will get them to at least stop calling you!

Here's a good website for various state's actions against payday loansharks.
