WestBury Ventures shouts on the receptionist at my job

I know how you are feeling about the last call. You have to call WestBury and take care of your loan account before they sound more aggressive to anyone else and put you in an embarrassing situation. If you want, do all communications in writing but a follow up on the phone will be useful.

What is the loan amount you have from Westbury and how much have you paid so far? You need to check for the company's license and compare their contract with your state laws. This way you will come to know about their business if it's legit.

CStanley- I have never recieved a call from Westbury Ventures but I have gotten threatening emails from a Ryan Hall. They state that I have committed fraud and that I would be "flagged" from opening a checking account/loans whatever. I filed complaints with this company earlier this month because they are charging me $ 570.00 on a 300.00 loan that I have paid back $ 190.00 on it. After finding this wonderful site I was educated to look up the payday laws in my state and go from there (with the help of these great people) I tried to work out arrangements with this comany and they refused. I have taken the advice on here and file complaints with the BBB and your states AG. I have also sent "validation" letter and a cease and desist letter certified/return receipt. I have not heard back from them. I have also learn to pay back what YOU CAN afford. Do not pay back more then your state allows you to. Make them work on YOUR terms!! This site saved me from pulling out my hair!! :D

I have been dealing with Mr. Ronald Reynolds at Westbury Ventures, he is a piece of work indeed. He starts emailing me about his company lending me money in Good Faith, and now I will be reported to my company for internet fraud and having the audacity to apply for loan from his company, well if I thought I owed anything why would I reapply to HIS company. Well he said he could settle for a 195.00 loan for 300.00, then he said no you have to pay 1967.00. Well I finally got him to settle for 300.00 and I would make a payment on 6-27-06. Well about a week ago, I rec'd a letter from him stating call their law office. I emailed him and asked him why he changed his mind about the arrangement, he stated he felt I wouldnt pay them and I argue about paying the 300.00 (DUH), he then email he didnt want to discuss anything else with me and the amount due now on a 195.00 loan jumped up to 1967.00. I have filed a complaint with BBB and I am also filing a complaint with my county local sheriff department. Now who is scamming who? I was going to pay the 300.00 even without document of proof.

Just today, I had A Darren Myer call my work place and have a screaming match with my co-worker about me. She even told this man that he was passing along to much info about how he make me loose my job and take it to higher authorities. When my co-worker told me this, of course I was divasated and very embrassed that this happen to her. She was very discrete in telling me so no other employees would know what was said to her about me. She even told this man, he cannot call this office any more and threaten another person, that if he had a problem with me, he could write a letter. He said he "WAS NOT" a collection agency and he could do whatever he pleased. What can be done about this? I was going to call him back and see what problem he had with me and more info on the monies he says I owe, but I am so afraid I will loose my cool and I know nothing about this company and what they are capiable of doing. Any suggestions....Should I report him to a higher official or just calm down and call him back and let him know how I feel about him calling my place of work and sharing my personal information. There must be some law of protection from such calls...HELP!!!!

Saw,check your state laws about recording calls.you might be required to inform him first.also file an ag complaint. Don't pay him anything without documentation. Also send a dv and c&d letter.that way when they call you can file harrasment charges.
be strong and keep us posted.

I PAID WESTBURY VENTURES OUT OF WILMINGTON, DEL 480.00 FOR A PAYDAY LOAN. THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT MY ACCOUNT WAS PAID IN FULL - IT WAS ON AN OFICIAL LETTERHEAD W/ CONTACTS NAMES- SEINCE THEN SEVERAL collection agencies HAVE CONTACTED ME WANTING PAYMENT ON THIS LOAN. I FAX THEM THE PROOF FROM WESTBURY THAT IT WAS PAID AND THEY NEVER CONTACT ME GAIN - I JUST GOT A CALL FROM A CORBET LAW FIRM OUT OF ROCHESTER STATING THA SHE IS TAKING ME TO COURT, THAT SHE IS INVESTIGATING MY BACKGROUND, ETC. WHEN I QUESTIONED HER FURTHER ABOUT WHERE SHE IS LOCATED ETC, SHE BECAME VERY IRATE W/ ME . I AM A MILITARY SPOUSE AND I TOLD HER I NEEDED FURTHER INFO CONCERNING HER COMPANY IN ORDER TO TAKE THIS TO OUR MILITARY JAG OFFICE - (LEGAL AID FOR THE MILITARY) SHE SAID I WAS THREATNING HER AND SAID SHE WOULD SETTLE THIS IN COURT. ILIVE IN NJ AND AM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO - I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS PROBABLY ANOTHER COLLECTION AGENCY WHO IS CLAIMING TO BE AN ATTORNEY OFFICE.BOTTOM LINE I PAID THIS STUPID THING IN FULL.THIS CANT BE LEGAL - ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

Hello MOMI35, you need to report this to your husband's C.O., this is purely harrassment and against Federal Law, I am quite sure the CO will guide you in the right direction on what to do about this. :) If I were you, I would keep a written record of these calls, keep all correspondence from them so it can be presented to JAG. By all means, contact JAG.

I am keeping record of everything. Are collection agancies misrepresenting themselves as attornies? What i sthe right thing to say if she calls back?

check and see if it's legal to record the call and inform her of this if it's required of you if not.just let her go on and on.then imagine what she will look like in court when you sue her.
