I had a payday loan with VC Funding. It was originally for 300. I paid 400 of it. I have logged on to here and found out that they have charged illegal interest rates. I put a stop payment on all future debits from this company. I am from Illinois. I received an email from this company. They said they have a "new paymeent plan set up" for $10 a week and that they want to work with me. I also received an email from them. I asked for a debt letter from them and stated that I was from the state of Illinois and that I understand that they have charged illegal interest rates. They emailed me back. Stated that I borrowed 300, paid 400 so far, and now owe 510 more at this point. They also said that since I signed a loan over the interent that my state laws are given up. What do I do? I have not responded back to her since then. She did send me a copy of my original loan document and that was it. Please help.


sb, if this is indeed an unlicensed/illegal pdl, you are done with them. And they owe you $100. They now state that you owe another $510. In their dreams. All the pdls claim the "we go by our state law, not yours" speech. Not true. Yes, you did apply via the internet; however, tough cookies for them. You go by your state law. And, she sent you your loan documents. Big deal. You can go to the site where you applied for the loan and print them out yourself. You do not owe them $510. You need to send these guys a letter stating your state law, that your loan was for $300, that you paid $400, and you want a refund of $100. You need to tell them that they are no longer authorized to debit any bank account that you may have. You need to tell them to only communicate via email or USPS - no telephone calls. And if they do call, do not take the calls. You want everything in writing. You will need to file complaints with the BBB, the FTC, and your state AG regarding this company. And I know you blocked them from your bank account; however, I would consider switching bank accounts. There is no telling what they might do. They might try to debit under another d/b/a to get money. You just never know with them. They are full of it. You have paid them, overpaid them, you are done. Another $510? Give me a break. If you have any questions, please post. :wink:

From what I understand (and someone correct me if I am wrong)Illinois is not one of those states that is like PA. And also from past posts VC Funding was found to be unlicensed/illegal. Also VC Funding uses different d/b/a's. And, in my eyes, and I could be wrong, any company stating that this person owes $510 more on a $300 loan that they already paid $400 on can't be abiding by the law. That would mean this person would pay $810 on a $300 loan. That's a hell of a lot of finance fees!
