Ok so now what do I do?

How much is the loan for? Are you sure of paying the principal amount? You will be safe if you have already paid the loan. You don't need to be worried about their fees because they have an illegal business in most of the states. Check with your state DFI for their licensing information.

O I already know I overpaid them..I have paid them over $500 on a $250 loan...way more than my state allows..

I think from what others have shared about their experiences is that this company eventually gives up. I know it is difficult to deal with the false threats.

I am hoping..my lawyer said to refuse their calls for now...So thats what I have been doing...My supervisor told them that I no longer work here but somehow I don't think that will stop them

Don't worry Leah---I think they will eventually get tired of hearing that you know longer work there. Have they been calling you at home too? I know when I was being called constantly, my mom (who lives with me) got into the habit of just saying "she's not here", then they would ask who she was and she would say "I just answer the phone here, I don't answer questions"
(she cracks me up---78 years old)

They somehow got my mobile number and call that incessantly..Needless to say I do not answer it because 1-i don't have the money to run up my bill everytime they call and 2-I have said all i have to say to them via fax, email and USPS. As far as calling my home number-I don't keep a phone at home anymore because I was never home to use it between work and school so it was a waste of money.

Leah,

I remember someone on this board either told a funny story over what they did or what they would have done.

When they call your job again, give them your new number. The number of AG's office in your state. Most of the time, you have to be smarter than these mean people.

LOL actually I was thinkin the next time they called I was going to transfer them to the local police department...

I would love to be a fly on the wall when you gave them the number to the local sheriff's department. Why don't you give them the number to the fraud department. I bet that they wouldn't get a kick out of that.

These payday loan companies have a lot of nerve calling you on your job to collect a debt. But they are not as bad as those who come to your job to collect a debt. That has be beyond ridiculous.

Best that you know what your rights are. The Fair Debt COllection Act is a wonderful tool. You should have that sucker memorized. :wink:

Oh well..they can harass all they want..they have gotten their money out of me and that is all they are going to get out of me...In a few months I won't be in that dept anymore so good luck getting a hold of me...

Oh you getting a promotion? That will be good. They will stop eventually. Even the creditors get tired of harassing people.

I wouldn't really mind them harassing me so much if I thought they had a valid reason to but come on they got me for over 500 on a 250 loan-how could i possibly owe them?

After maternity leave I move in to the OR :)

LOL. I hope that you have a healthy and happy baby.

Thank you very much! I hope he is happy and healthy too...He is gonna be a big one I think...At least a 9 pounder...OUCH!
