Internet's first get-out-of-debt community - 128,000 members

I took out a check loan with these people over a year ago,and have made many payments on it,which total way more than what the loan was even for. I even switched bank accounts and they followed me to the new one and continue to debit money. I cannot put a stop payment on my account because they debit out different amounts. I have spoken to the manager of my bank and the fraud management of my bank. I have not really been able to get anywhere. My account is so far in the hole from these people I may never get out. I cannot even get to money that has been deposited in my account because of a hlold. I am so angry and frustrated.

I know how you feel. I have been paying these people back for over 6 months. I was going to close my checking account today, but after what you have said i'm afraid to now.

Umm...is your new bank account with the same bank. I don't think they can debit from the new account unless you give them permission to. You should check with your bank on that, to see how that works.
Also, why don't you send Westbury a letter revoking authorization to make any further debits to your account and show a copy to your bank as well.

No it is a completely different bank! They said they have the legal right to collect their debt and could follow me. I have been talking with my bank but havent really gotten anywhere. I am going today to fill out a form to stop ACH but do not know how much it will help.

I have never given you permission to take ANYTHING out of my Wachovia account, I still AM NOT giving you or anyone from your company permision to take ANYTHING out of my account. I am quite curious as to why you say I owe $400 and yet I just got a letter from YOU stating that my balance is $95, that is quite a different amount? I would also like to let you know that what you are doing is illegal in my state of North Carolina, and I have reported you to my Attorney General. I also have the right to contact you by email if I so choose to do so, I do not have to make all of my communication via telephone! You still have not sent me by mail a breakdown of what you say I suposedly owe, I have the right to see that in writing, whether you think so or not. As I said the letter you yourself sent me says my balance is $95 so why are you trying to take $100,$175, etc. out of my account? That is more than the letter says I owe?? Your company has put me in the hole so far that I cannot do ANYTHING. Leave my account alone and reply to me by letter or email if you want a response back from me. Cecillia Sluder
