Westbury Ventures/SJM Marketing

Kris I just answered your pm. Calm down

Ok... After doing some research, there was a $200 deposit into my account on 8-27, same day as B&L Marketing. I have been emailing dustin at SJM and he said I-collect now has my account. I have asked him to provide me a copy of the contract since I 'lost' mine.

So... Maybe I do owe SJM. If I-collect has my account, why would Westbury Ventures have my account too???

I don't think Westbury Ventures deals with SJM marketing. SJM marketing goes through I-collect and they sent mine to United Pay services or Bass & Ass. I can't remember right now. But Westbury had my loanshop payday loan. I will look tomorrow for the person I worked with through Westbury, he wasn't too bad to deal with and he broke down what I still owed into 3 or 4 payments. And there was one week that I couldn't make the payment and he changed the date for me. He was kind of rough at first then he mellowed out when he knew I was going to pay lol. But I did still owe. I will post that info in the morning.

puddle will help you with more information. However, let me ask you this. Why are you still taking their phone calls? This keeps upsetting you and you're not getting any documentation. Can you not email your responses to them so that they will email you back? You need to get everything in writing. Like the comment he made about calling the department of labor (or whatever he was talking about). Stupid stuff like this. Let them put it in writing. When they have you on the phone, they are saying things that are illegal/untrue/threatening. You need to get them to only communicate with you via email or USPS, kristi. Try to do this, okay? :D

Please make sure you request a debt validation. I have been dealing with Westbury Ventures through email. They will contact you through email if you send them a C & D. I asked for a debt validation and have not heard anything since. They are a collection agency that has bought your loan through I collect. Be stern and let them know you will only talk to them through email.

I don't have his ext. number but here is his name and maybe he can help you a little better. His name is Wayne Shepard and the number for westbury is 1-800-859-6439. I know that your account is sent to one person and then they handle it but I do know that you can request someone else. It couldn't hurt anyway. But that is the person that worked with me on my account with them. Like I said before he wasn't too bad to deal with and set up arrangements with me and I have my PIF letter from him.

I haven't heard from Westbury Ventures or SJM... I wonder if they got the hint or if they are 'laying' low for awhile..

I'm going to PRAY they "got the hint". However, don't be surprised if they pop back up in the near future! LOL! Relax while you can. Just do not freak out when they try to contact you again, okay? Just come back here and let us know what's going on. Enjoy the silence from them for as long as you can! :wink:

Yeah, I'm sorry about 'wiggin' out on you when I got those calls.. i can look back now and it's funny but I was scared...lol

I wonder if a PDL company would be a good halloween costume?? lol

Do not apologize! That's why we are here! I totally freak out and post like some crazed maniac! It takes us all to get through these things! Of course you're going to freak out. My gosh! Do not ever feel like you can't post on here and scream "HELP!" That's why we're here. And, we'll always be here for you, krist. And a pdl costume for Halloween? I wouldn't want to scare the crap out of ANYONE that much! Not even my worst enemies!

Just wanted you to know that I still have not heard from Westburry since I asked for the debt validation. These loans are so illegal I hope it scared them for a while. It has been almost 30 days since I asked for that and I have heard Zero! Let me know how things fair out for you!

I haven't heard anymore from them.. I don't know if they got the hint or what but they haven't called my work..

this company debited 260.00 from my checking account and i Never gave them my account information. What can i do?

lisa, what company? Westbury? They debited your account for $260? Did you ever receive a paydayloan off the internet? Also, what state do you reside in? They obtained your information somehow. Do you remember getting any loans off the internet or showing any deposits into your account?

I received this email from BBB of Delaware~

I got a phone call from a Sharon Williams from Westbury Ventures. Did you ever have a PDL from Loan Shop because that is who she was calling me about?

This is the person who is emailing me from Westbury Ventures. Hope this helps.

I am getting emails from that same person. Angie Daugherty. It started a couple of days ago. I had this big long email to my work address about how action will be taken against me and my account is delinquent and such. She was extremely rude. At first, I thought it was spam, but the same type of emails kept on coming. On Friday, I responded and asked her to explain herself... (FYI, I took out a payday loan ONE time with Fast Bucks of Aloha (in their store) for $500 and it has since been paid in FULL, plus interest!) She is demanding that I give her my bank details and I am a little peeved by this. I have no idea who this woman is or why the hell she is emailing me, particularly at work. As far as I know, Fast Bucks has no affiliation with Westbury Ventures... besides which, I owe nothing to Fast Bucks anyway and their store was closed down earlier this year also. So I asked her to provide some further information to me and to explain how she got my personal information (which she has not actually confirmed that she has) and she emailed me back with practically the exact same string of emails as before. No answers to my questions what so ever. I replied and told her to send me a letter via mail that outlines this "debt" and the amount owed and when and where it was taken out, plus a contract signed by me. She has yet to get back to me, which is odd since she was so eager to reply before. I am truly baffled! And, I am slightly concerned about getting calls to my work. As far as I know, they don't have my work number, but it seems they can find whatever they like by what I read on here. I don't actually have a bank account independently, my boyfriend and I have a joint account so I'm not too worried about them trying to get my money. I am concerned for my good reputation at my place of employment though if this gets taken to the phones.

How can I get proof from them that I took out this "loan"? She doesn't seem to want to provide me with any written or documented information. And quite frankly, this woman has ticked me off and I am waiting for a damn good explanation from her.

Thanks in advance guys!
