does anyone have a phone number for them???

thanks!!


There is no record of Rio Resources being a member of the BBB. My husband began business with them and we have now lost 2.5 times as much as he borrowed. We borrowed $300, they withdrew $90 four times from our account and told him it was to hold the loan open, then they withdrew $125, $110, $140, and $135 from our account to cover the loan. That is a total of $870 taken for a $300 loan. DO NOT COMTACT BUSINESS WITH THEM. They are thieves

They keep withdrawing money from my account well after my debt has been paid. I now have paid 1070 on a 400 dollar loan! What should I do?

Hi Josh

You can contact Rio Resources at 804 687 3959

You can also try at the following numbers:

(604) 687-3959 or (604)408-0489

Do you have the receipts of your payments made to them? I think if you are able to produce this evidence, they will have to credit your account.

Regards
Roxette

Talk to your bank too! Be sure you speak with an account rep. You might also consider filing a report with your local police department or sheriff's office.

I think payday loans are a huge racket anyway, but this is insane for them to continue to debit your account after you have paid in full!

One more thing, you might call your local prosecuting attorney. Your State Attorney General, the FBI and the Secret Service. (I know the secret service thing sounds strange, but one of the major functions of the Secret Service is to protect the banking industry and thus the stability of our country.)

I spoke with someone at the number posted 9/23/05 and she gave me a 1-866-859-6129 as a number to get help.
I explained all the negative notes about this company. Of course she said this number would have a recording, but to leave a message and phone number and someone would call me back.

I have the # 1800 992-9482 I have the same problem. Rio Resources is the lender for $10 pay day loan and others I believe. They told me that if you do not contact them within 2 weeks to make a pay off they charge you a refinance fee every two weeks plus some of the pay down. But as we all know its almost impossible to find them.Isint this loan sharking? Illegal? They want $530 for a $200 loan. I dont think so. They said I would hear from their lawyer. I'll let you know how it turns out.

RIO also works with/for approvedtoa1000.com
To get your money back that they owe you should look to see if they are licensed in your state and if not.... contact your attorney generals office and the office of the state that they are claiming the primary address of the company. File complaints at the Attorney Generals office and with the FTC ( Federal Trade Commission).
Contact your bank and stipulate that the ACH withdrawals over the limit you were supposed to pay were not authorized and ask them to put the money back into your account. If you bank allows you to indicate "Fraud" on this account then tell them that you did not allow the remainder to be taken and file a stop payment on any future withdrawals from this company.
Hope this helps

I read the companies disclosure and I apparently signed something saying I would not participate in any class action and no matter what state I live in, I am under their jurisdiction not where I reside. I think they have thought of everything. It looks like I lose this one.If not let me know. I hope this becomes illegal soon.

Rio sent my account to collections. I finally talked to someone today. She was very rude to me yelling at me and would not give me her fist name or ID #. I asked her if Rio was licensed in CA she said yes but also would not give me the liscense #. All she could say is I was just trying to get out of paying my bill. She also made it sound like she would be calling my work to harrass them. What should I do now?

Kara, please let me know what you hear. They have already taken $120.00 out of my acct., however, when I called them they said I still owe the whole balance of $300.00. I don't want them to keep taking money out of my acct.!!!

Kristin, explain the situation to your bank and close the checking account. Rio will take out money further if you don't close the account now.

Request your bank to dispute the debits with Rio. They will be required to clarify the amount withdrawn. If they don't, you have a legal case against them for debiting money from your account fraudulently.

The 800# for this company is 866-859-6129 there is a recording, but the mailbox is full so you can't leave a message. If you wait until after the full message plays you will be transferred to an automated system. You can enter your social and follow the prompts to find out info about your loan and change the due date and payment amounts.

Please note TenDollarPaydayLoan.com is the same as
MTE Financial Services dba Rio Resources
Phone: 866-859-6132. The interest rate is outrageous something like 730%. Make sure they are licensed to do business in your state.

I also had 2 loans with Rio. I have paid more than enough in interest to cover the loans plus the fee. They will not work with me. I live in NC and PDLs are illegal.

send them a letter stating that because pdl's are illegal in NC, your contract with them is null and void and as such you are requesting a refund of the amount you paid them over and above the principal. State that you are willing to settle this without involving NC if they agree to your settlment offer. give them 48-72 hours to respond.

I have a loan with them. But if they are not allowed to loan to anyone per consumer complaints how can they justify our loan agreement?

Payday loans are ILLEGAL in the state of NC Please file a complaint with the state Attorney Generals office. They will help you. The AG there is dead set against these companies. If you need any help just ask. KYSIDE38
