I have been going back and forth with this pdl for a while. I sent them the state laws and they told me they are not a pdl, they give rebates for phone cards, but I received money and then they were taking out fees every pay period. I don't get it. I don't know what to do next. I have already over paid these people by 300.00 dollars and they are still asking to pay in full. Help Question

Did you get a contract copy from the company before the money was deposited into your account? What state are you in?

Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:55 pm Subject:

yes I do have my contract and I am in Iowa.

First know the laws of your state and then read the fine prints. The permissible fees in your state should be mentioned in the contract copy. If they are charging excessive amount, fill up the dispute form with the company and get it corrected. Otherwise, take the help of the attorney general of your state and get them investigated.

I borrowed $200 from these guys and not only did they take their money back they also took $89.92 from my account. what can I do to stop this. I will file a complaint and dispute with my bank and also considering changing my account. will this help?--k

What they are doing is trying to get around the laws regarding pdl's by offering "rebates". Several other companies have tried to do this in the past and have ended up sued by the states attorney general.

File a complaint asap! Your state Attorney General's office needs to know what this company is doing!

Guest I would definatelyfile a complaint with your state Attorney General. That is their job to protect the consumer. KYSIDE38

kyside, you are right about that! Where is the pdl located? I had one similar to this and they forgave my loan. At first they tried to say the same thing about the phone cards. Don't worry, the law is on your side Smile

the pdl is located in Cary, NC.

Hey Louise 25,

Did you ever resolve this with this company?

Yes this has been resolved. I think I put it in another post. Thanks for all of your help and support.

They are a scam and u should always be careful for signing a contract and always listen very carefully to fast talking people..... Confused

Trust me I have learned a valuable lesson with these lenders. Not me again.

I have also had this happen to me. So I just get an state attorney and they can help. I try to get a hold of them and e-mail them and they never get back to me. I have paid my loan back and some. My bank has tried to help also. I have never done this before and the one time I do this happens.

I have just been sent a second letter from their collectors "Roberto & Associates". i contacted this debt collector as soon as i recieved the first letter and told them my story. i have never received any cards and the company not only debited the account i supplied them with, but another account i never gave to them. i received a $300 loan and they have already debited over $370.00 and say that was for fees and that is still owe them $502.00?? i explained this to the lawyer and he said he would look in to it. he sent the second letter saying they are taking me to court because upfront money said they did send cards. this is a real mess, but i intend on writing to my state attorney general and showing up in court. i will not lose this money and i may submit a counter suit for the account i did not give permission to use.
