I have several pdl's:
Payday OK, Payday One, Payday Select, GFS, Speedy Payday, SGQ Processing, Viking Loan, Arrowhead, Midland Marketing, Easy Payday, VC Funding
I live in MN and it looks like none of these are licensed in my state. Payday One may be, but I am not 100% on that. I have stopped payment on these and closed my account and have tried notifying these companies of this only none have gotten back to me to work out repayment plans....I know this is a common practice of them. My only issue is that now I have been contacted by Westbury Ventures and B & A regarding four of these accounts. I don't want to send them a dime because I know my money is lost via moneygram....but they threaten with everything. I have not been threatened with arrest, but they have mentioned fraud and the fact that I am a dishonest person. They don't let me get a word in at all to explain what happened. I know they don't care, they just want their money. But neither company will validate my debts, they said that I have record of this debt on my bank account. I told them they had to validate my debts, but still won't do it. I have filed a complaint with FL AG regarding B & A and now I am waiting on a call back from the Regulator from my state. My only concern is being sued for not sending payments or doing what they ask of me. I have kept all correspondence from Westbury...and this guy is a real trip. He sends generic emails that give me forms for either a cc payment form or a checking account debit form. The emails also list that I have to send money via money gram...but the emails don't actually list my account number or the amount that I have to pay. He has told me to quit making excuses and not waste anymore time. I called and emailed him and left him messages stating that I wasn't making excuses and that I had no problems paying back my debts once they were validated. I told him that I wanted validation to check out what payments I had made and how much interest they were charging me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me or tell me if I am on the right path? I think that I, like others here are scared to send that settlement letter...I am scared of what will happen next. I feel like I don't have the best back bone to stand up to these people, so I am also looking into legal assistance in these matters. Thanks to everyone for help/suggestions.
