Hi. This is Jeff Foster. I am an account manager with Global Financial. Several people have called recently and have stated that they learned about the fdcpa from this website and that I am not complying with the FDCPA. Today, a debtor named NAME DELETED FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION OF THE DEBTOR - SUEBEE from Texas said that I was not complying with the FDCPA or the Texas laws.

WE ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY COLLECTOR!!!

THEREFORE WE DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE FDCPA!!!

ONLY THIRD-PARTY COLLECTORS HAVE TO COMPLAY WITH THE THE FDCPA. THEREFORE, WHEN I THREATENED TO HAVE DEBTOR'S NAME DELETED - SUEBEE ARRESTED, I WAS NOT VIOLATING ANY LAW.

Furthermore, only Delaware law applies to the terms of the loan and loan repayment. Therefore, even though DEBTOR'S NAME DELETED - SUEBEE has already paid $1,225 on a $350 loan, we can still charge him $590.00 for repayment and default on the loan.


Thanks for vandalizing my post, Amy. As of yet, not a single person has explained how the laws of their state apply even though they signed a contract saying that Delaware's law will govern the contract. Nobody has explained or referenced any law that shows where an online payday lender has to be licensed in each state that it does business with.

Also, you people may know the state payday laws inside and out, but you don't understand the concept of jurisdictional hierarchy. I'd like to see one lawyer come here and defend you losers. You are all wrong. Just plain wrong.

Also I don't work for Sonic. I work for Global Financial. They are not affiliated at all. And Global was not the Maltese company. That was a PDL that got shut down by the Maltese government due to more than 5,000 complaints registered by INTELLIGENT Americans like you all as well as state attorneys generals who were able to fight us BY ENGAGING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE Malta GOVERNMENT

Didn't have time to read all 6 pages on this post yet ...

but ALL financial institutions, whether they are collectors bound by the fdcpa or a creditor which is not, must follow the Grahamm-Leach-Bliley Privacy Act. Which, in part, prohibits any disclosure of a debtor's financial information or other non-public information to any non-affiliated third parties.

To come on a public forum such as this, and post a debtor's name and the fact that they owe you money, is a blatant disregard for the GLBPA. Whoever's name you posted should sue you for violating their privacy.

One last comment... the argument seems to be that these places only have to follow the laws of the state in which they are licensed.

An analogy, if you will, on a totally different topic:

Illinois allows its citizens to own guns, but you cannot carry them around with you; we have no right-to-carry laws. Indiana, our next door neighbor, has right-to-carry laws, meaning its citzens are allowed to own guns and carry concealed weapons on them. Now, if a person who lives in Indiana has a gun in their pocket, and they drive across the border to Illinois where that is illegal, and a cop pulls them over and finds they are illegally carrying a concealed weapon... do you think the argument that they were operating under Indiana law will hold up in an Illinois court? NO, because when you are in our state, you need to follow our rules.

From the American National Book of Collector Translations--

"Judicial Hierarchy: 1) jargon; words used to simulate intelligence. 2) gobbldygook. 3) words that convey the authors understanding of a matter, when really they do not understand the matter at all. 4) finis; words used when a collector does not have a real answer.

Wow.

Ok - "Jeff" - I'm going to break this down easy for you to understand, ok:

I get a driver's license in my home state of Illinois. When I drive to Florida, I have to follow the Florida laws in the state, even though I am licensed in Illinois. See - I can do a service in the state, but only if I follow the state laws.

There....was that easy for you to understand?

What a bonehead analogy.

Those are criminal laws. We are talking civil laws. Did the gun-owner sign a contract with the other state saying they had a right to govern all laws? I don't think so.

You are comparing apples to oranges.

STILL TO THIS MINUTE, nobody has explained or cited a law saying that we have to be licensed in a state to do business in that state.

I am based out of Philly. Do I have to be licensed in your state to collect a debt? No.

Jeff, you might want to read this story of Mr. Mitchell who also was a collector who thought he was above the law, now he has a criminal record, what did he do? Oh yea, he threatened to have people arrested if they didn't pay him money. He used to be a collector just like you, but for the next five years he will just have to settle for reporting to his PO.
