Well, we finally heard back from ameriloan this morning. They're refusing to write the loan off and are sending the total amount due to collections. Funny thing is, according to our former bank and the laws of our state, they actually owe us $60. Too bad they don't see it that way.
So I'm girding my loins, getting ready for phone calls from collectors. I'll definitely ask for a debt validation letter...any other suggestions?
I contacted our state's attorney general's office about Ameriloan on Tuesday morning--sent them all our documentation Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully they'll get back to us early next week...
Still, ugh. I halfway feel like Ameriloan is refusing to settle when the other payday lenders did because of this thread...I don't regret posting here, but I'm very very grumpy with them for making us take these extra steps. I'd even use bad words, but then the spam filter won't let me post. Believe me, I've tried...
