| Quote: | Westbury Ventures is the holding company for several payday loan companies nationwide. You have taken out a payday loan from one or more of our affiliates and failed to pay it in a timely manner and now it has been placed for collection. We have been extremely patient with you regarding the repayment of your debt. Your lack of co-operation leaves me no choice but to advise you that you are considered in default of your contract, the balance is due immediately, and your account is being reviewed for further action.
Your information may also be reported to Tele-track & CL Verify which may eliminate your ability to acquire loans or establish checking accounts in the future.

Teletrack does not affect checking accounts. Telecheck or Chexsystems does. Teletrack is only for high-risk lending companies - like payday lenders. I don't know about CL Verify.

Isn't this one you have overpaid? If so, it is time to pull out the big guns and contact the AG in the state they are claiming to be out of and your state.

No, I owe him legally 161.00.. he is asking for 570.00. if I send him 400.00 by the 16th of feb, he will waive the rest...
according to my state law ( IN) I only owe back 161.00 on a 300.00 loan. I have paid the 90.00 finance charge at least 2 times.
This guy is pissing me off.....it's funny that I just keep making those complaints.....

He has to go by your state laws. You only owe $161.00 and that is all you are entitled to pay. I would put this info in a letter back to him.

As per my previous correspondence with you, the legal amount I owe for my account is $161.00. The loan was for $300.00 and 2 finance charges of $ 90.00 have been paid on the account to date.
I have been aware that your company is not licensed in the state I reside in, and the rate/interest charge for the loan was above the maximum allowable rate for the state of Indiana as well. Therefore, I am only obligated to repay the principal amount of the loan.
The remaining balance of 161.00 will be made in payments of 50.00 with the first payment to be sent via money order by 2/12/06. No payments will be wired or made by debit/credit card
I have filed complaints with the Nevada Better Business Bureau and the Indiana Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission so they can follow up on this matter. I will expect my account to be marked “paid in full” and written confirmation to be sent to indicate that this has been done. Any negative information to teletrack or related bureaus will be viewed as defaming and if not removed in their entirety, further action will be taken.
All contact to me is to be sent via email or United State Postal Mail, as calls to my place of employment are being monitored and personal calls to employees during business hours are discouraged.
I just emailed him that. He will email me a nasty one back I'm sure....Now what?

Well, it will be interesting to see what he says back. My experience says he will probably do one of several things. He might not want to fool around with this anymore and mark your account PIF or if he is a real "weenie" he might not care and keep it up (I find that kind of doubtful). Usually the part about complaints to the BBB will cause them to think a bit, especially if no one has called them on their illegal tactics. Please keep us posted. Good Luck!

They kept sending me the same correspondence as Tweety, and I just kept replying as she did, and the minute I replied that I was filing complaints to the BBB, AG, etc., I got a reply from someone else, who said they'd accept what I legally owed if I wouldn't report them!!!

Tweety, don't be intimidated. Just keep responding as you are. They will threaten all kinds of stuff and keep maintaining that you are in default, guilty of internet fraud, bouncing checks across state lines, you name it. At the end of the day, they won't play hard ball, because no court is going to rule in their favor because they are conducting illegal lending....

Sorry, I just check the posts periodically throughout the day, so missed this. I know that there are sometimes pre-arranged chat sessions, though. You could organize one for an evening or something, then people would know ahead of time.
