Emerald Marketing Group - are we done yet?

Below is a copy of the settlement letter I received today from Emerald Marketing Group as a result of complaints I'd filed with the BBB and State Attorney General's office.

Following is my response to their letter:


It's really starting to heat up now

rain, OMG! You go! You are awesome! Excellent response. Good action. This is great! This, to me, is a "sucess story"! Good for you!

Thanks cannr!! I have received a few Paid-In-Full statuses before, but none of the PDLs have offered to refund the amount that I requested. This is certainly a success story!

I'm so glad this online debt community exists...it gave me (and continues to give) the know how and courage to stand up to these PDL bullies. I hope this post encourages everyone who reads it. When fighting these crooks, it's important to remember that miracles happen everyday and YES YOU CAN GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS PDL MESS!!

AMEN, rain! You are awesome! And this site is awesome! Hell, we're all awesome!

Yes, AMEN indeed! There is no disputing the awesomeness of this site and its users...WE ROCK! Here's to taking our lives back!!

I do believe the most amazing thing of all is that I've only been pursuing this since August 1, 2007. I never in a million years expected such a quick response in my favor!

rain, sometimes some pld's act quickly and it's "yahoo" time! But others take their sweet time or fight the whole way down. In the beginning, I was getting PIF's and refunds. I was dealing with the "easy" ones first. Then I started on the "hard" ones. Guess what? We're STILL going around and around! LOL!

This is great! Congratulations.

You're absolutely right cannr. Actually, there are only 3 PDLs that I even care about getting a refund from (totaling nearly $2400), though ALL of them owe me one. That money could certainly come in handy...but I'm not holding my breath. I just consider it a HUGE bonus if I get money back at all. I have a long fight ahead of me, I'm sure.

How's your fight going cannr? Have you settled with nearly everyone?

Thanks eleroo!

It's going okay. It's a hell of a lot better than when I started! LOL! But, that wouldn't take much! I've still got my 3 MTE's that I refuse to settle with. I've still got 2 overseas illegal ones (which basically just don't exsit). Eastside Lenders has disappeared since I asked them their license number they are operating under and turned them over to the state AG. Cash Borrower has disappeared since being turned over to the state AG. But, I'm waiting. They wait and jump back up. Just like USFastCash. Nothing for over two months, then there they are at my bank again! When they get quiet is when I start to get antsy. I know something's up.

Way to go Rain!!!! I wish i could have gotten refunds from mine. But the only ones I overpaid were the storefronts not the internet. But way to go and keep up the fight!!!

I like how you stated
It's sad how they run our lives when we get stuck in the pdl cycle. That should be our motto, taking our lives back!!! Because that is what we are doing.
Great job!!!!

Keep holding out cannr...don't give in until you reach an agreement you feel comfortable with.

Personally, I bug the hell out of each of my PDLs daily. I don't want them to think that for one second I'm going to let them off the hook. It is my mission to try and replicate some of the annoyance they've put me through and I take great joy in it.

Thanks puddlejmpr! Taking our lives back is exactly what we're doing! I don't know about you, but I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!

Oh, believe me, rain. I love to harrass my pdl's. For awhile it was on a daily basis. I've slacked up some, but now that USFastCash has pulled a "fast one", I'm ready to go again! Jerks.

Well, know that we're all behind you here and offer you any emotional support you may need. I really bugs me when people just can't be decent.
