Has anyone heard of Zip19.com? They are in some way connected to Northway Financial Ltd and located in Canada. They don't take a portion of the money you borrow from your account in increments. They want the entire amount at once including the interest. I borrowed $200 with $39 in interest and I'm ashamed to say I really didn't know they wanted the entire amount at once. Other companies I've dealt with DID. Since I've borrowed the money, I have gone out on temporary disability with a back injury. I have not been to work for nearly six weeks. I e-mailed customer service to explain my plight and in a few days I received a phone call from the "payment center" for zip19. I explained my situation and promised to pay when I was able. I am not trying to get out of the payment, but I just don't have it right now and there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. I terminated the conversation and she has been harassing me ever since. She has called my employer/supervisor twice since I am off work and my supervisor has had to call me to tell me I've received these phone calls. This puts my job in jeopardy. She has also claimed to have e-mailed him to ask questions that I have already answered. If they did what they claim to do and check your employer references before lending you money, then they would know that I am indeed employed there. She obviously did not believe that I was out on disability until they told her at the time of the second phone call. They kept demanding that I call the payment center to resolve the issue. I explained that I had already given them my reason for not being able to pay the balance at this time. I did try to call, but I am placed on hold for the "next operator" and made to wait for 10 minutes or longer. I'm very disturbed over this, but what can I do?
