M1Y Direct does illegalally threaten people
Date: Wed, 05/23/2007 - 19:06
My husband took out a payroll advance from M1Y .They had a collector call him. I took the call because he was not home.The woman from the collection place (who did not identify herself as a collection person threatened my husband with the charge of " Misreprensation of obtaining Federal funds for personal gain". She went on to say that she was going to call my State online payday loan preditor task force.(Turns out there is no such thing)
I asked he the name of the agency in Oregon to whom she was referring, and she hung up on me.
I live in Oregon, I called the Oregon Departments of Consumer and Business Affairs. The agent told me that the threats made by the "collection" agent were both illegal, and flat out wrong. I then went online to do a google search and came up with a State of California Courts order to "Desist and Refrain" , for the Loan Company, M1Y Direct, LLC, and its owners Mark J. Koetting and Daniel Koetting. The company was operating illegally in the State of California. Please look up the information for yourself, and check to see if they are legally doing business in the state where you live. If not, you owe them nothing. Also, please check the interest rate they charge and compaire them with your states laws on the matter.
These people who call and try to collect have certain laws which need to be followed. If they do not, then you should contact your State or Federal Officials.
In Oregon, there is no fixed loan term and that is certainly not
In Oregon, there is no fixed loan term and that is certainly not good for the borrowers. These companies definitely want to take advantage by charging excessive interests and fees. It is a must for all pdl places and the collection agencies to have a valid license in the borrower's state.

Good for you! I actually knew someone who worked for these broth
Good for you! I actually knew someone who worked for these brothers (I think their main office is in Kansas, but they disguise themselves through a main address out of Las Vegas, NV and also have an office out in Los Angeles. Anyway, I heard that they are truly ruthless scammers and the former employee even said he was once scolded for being too nice to the callers! Don't let these kinds of people intimidate you. You've taken great steps in protecting yourself. Honestly, what you went through is unacceptable.
