Cash Today called me today

deeann...I don't recall...is this a illegal internet pdl?? And you have revoked the wage assignment, yes? And given a copy to your HR person...file your complaints with the BBB and the attorney general's office...tell them that even though you revoked, etc...they are still calling you at work and harrassing you. Do you leaglly owe them money?? Offer payments arrangements on the balance by email and reinerate they can not contact you at work and to continue to do so THEY are breaking the law and can be fined.

morning, this is a HIGHLY illegal pdl. Ugly, ugly, ugly. dee, do not take any more calls from them.

cannr, I have been able to put them off until at least next week or the week after, I received a letter from the NV AG yesterday stating that these people are out of their jurisdiction and there is nothing they can do to help me, they suggest notifying FTC which I have already done. They are also stating that this company is headed by Rovinge Int. based out of London and also go by BIG, Leads Global, Global Financial, cash2day4u, cash today ltd, Route 66 and interim cash...wow, what have I gotten myself into ?

wow, i had a loan with BIG as well i just stopped paying on, i had already overpaid them anyway.

and since i switched banks and jobs they have no way of getting in touch with me again, i hope.

good luck dean

well, I don't plan on looking for a new job anytime soon, unless with the phone calls I expect these morons to be making in the next wk or so, my employer gives me no other choice to find another job. This is truly a nightmare with this company, I'm being told "don't give them anymore money" but here lately it's like I should just pay them off and be done w/ it. but in order to do that i would need to give them bnk info (they will not allow me to do a M/O) and I refuse to give them anymore access to my life

if they refuse the MO then i would say that they are refusing to get their money.

i am so glad that all the calls for my company come through me

dee, what have you gotten yourself into? The same thing many of us have. Involved with a highly illegal company that uses various d/b/a's. Now, if you have to take their calls (and I wish you didn't have to) you can try to negotiate with them. They will not take money order; however, they will be more than happy to take Western Union/Money Gram. Of course.

cannr, I am trying to just keep putting them off as much as possible to see if something happens to them.

dee, I know it's hard because they will call your head off. Believe me. I know.

Cashtoday has an injunction against them to cease and desist all loans right now. They are fighting this. But the next time they call bring this up to them. They will not know what to say right now. I know that case is on the boards somewhere. When I get home from work I will try and find it. The last time they called me about hubby's loan I brought it up and he got mad. So I told him according to that I do not have to pay you back. He said right, but then I said if I want I could pay back what they gave me minus what they already took out. But then I stated again that I don't have to, then I told them that if they contacted me again I would inform the courts that they are still contacting me to get me to pay this loan and he hung up on me lol.

Here is the last e-mail I sent them
Quote:

puddle, where can I find this injunction ?

I can't find it right now But I will keep looking. I know the person I work with at the DFI is out of the office till sometime next week but I will send her an e-mail requsting she send it to me. I will post it when I either find it or she sends it to me. Sorry :oops:

no problem, I did find a notice from 1999 that the state of TX had an injunction on a Cash Today, but I don't think it's the same one due to the one I found had actual stores

Cash Today is one of the worst offshores out there, no doubt of that. The only way I was able to get them off my back was to file a police report in my community for harassment. Their MO is to call you constantly--and in my case they even called on Thanksgiving Day, something which really ticked me off!
The FTC would be a good group to get involved with definately--and I wonder, since they are based overseas, if a group like the FBI or Secret Service might want to know about it.
Sleazy outfits like this are only one reason why FEDERAL not state-wide legislation is needed against IPDL's. State-wide legislation is a start, but I find that it's not as effective as one federal law.

I also filed a complaint w/ the FTC regarding this company.

I read this on Nevada Webstite

These guys are so illegal!!

Wow....it says in this news release that these yo-yos were fined 50 grand (and it should've been SO much more imho) for illegal lending by the state of Nevada. Now why in the Sam Hill are they still lending? What part of NO don't they understand?
And how can we get them to stop??????

Please, ks, if you find the answer to that question, let us all know! I wonder the same friggin thing on a lot of the illegal plds. I can't figure it out.

How in the world are they still doing business if:

A) They were cited and fined for not being licensed.
B) They did not even show up to the hearing.

It seems odd that the state would continue to let them operate. Shouldn't they get the swat team and raid the place????

This is why I think it's such a good thing that the FTC is involved here. These yahoos need to be run out of Nevada (and the US) on a rail and have their sorry butts kicked back to London!

I agree! I wish that all of them would be put out of business, store front, internet, licensed, unlicensed. I know that they always use the argument that taking a loan from them is better than being late on your credit card or other bills. After what I have been going through and the amount that these laons cost me I would rather be late on all my bills instead. I could have paid off a whole credit card with the amount of fee's that I have given them over the past year.

deeann,
Holy crap, mr johnson called me too, the same day. Saying I owe $400, for a $225 loan from April 2007 now mind you, a fee of $45 was taken out every 2 weeks from May of 2007 to October 2007 totaling $450. I was having trouble with my bank account, the debit bounced back to Cashtoday. He left a message on my VM saying that if I did not call back he was going to speak to my boss. I called him back. I asked if I could pay by Money Order, he said NO. I was told to send the funds via money gram. So I got the sending info. There was no State info, Just a pay to, and a number (anybody knows HBS service?). I wish I knew then what I know now. Now I know why these crooks do not accept money order's and no State info, they do not want to leave a paper trail with the Feds. Now that I know this company is illegal in NV, I'm going to keep calling this company. I going to call so much they are going to be tired of me. This will start on Monday, and I will complain about their illegal practice, and I urge members who have been harassed or taken advantaged of to do the same, the number is 800-670-4075, call, call, and call. If this country or the FTC can't do nothing, then maybe we can!! Let's put an end to this!

speedy, please please please file a complaint with the FTC regarding this...I promise you they will be interested...

Thank you Speedy that is what I was looking for :D . Cashtoday is fighting that order right now according to my DFI. She said that she will let me know what happens from that. So right now if you are dealing with them calling you bring up that case and they should back off. Let them know that you will inform the the court that they are still contacting you trying to collect and your calls will stop. They did for me.

puddle, what order ? the one that was filed in NV ?

yep the order and the fine.

I honestly think they don't care. They believe they are above the US law due to they are overseas. I really wish and hope that something is done very soon..what a Christmas present

I have a request in to my DFI for the PDF file that has the whole case in it. As soon as I get it I will PM it to you. If they contact you again you need to tell them that they have to provide to you a valid license number to lend in the state they were conducting business in (which would be NV) And tell them not to contact you until they can provide this information. Also let them know that you know they did not hold a valid license to lend during the time your loan was taken out, and thats why they have been fined by the state of NV and if they were operating legaly then why did they not show up in court. If you state all of those facts they will not know what to say and probably hang up on you.

thanks puddle, anything to get these guys to stop calling (ha ha) would be helpful...they will probably start calling again next monday/tuesday once they find out their payment bounced back to them again

This company has no legal ways to collect. Their scam is they try to harrass you into either giving them your bank info or sending them money. I would file the complaints then treat it as a prank call and hang up. Don't even both having dialogue with them just give them the dial tone.

dollars is correct. Do not take the calls. What are they going to do? Come here to the US and knock on your door? Don't think so. You've filed your complaints. You are done. Taking their calls only gives them the satifaction of harrassing and upsetting you.

I would screen your calls at home and definately take your boss into your confidence at work, if possible and let him or her know that these idiots will be calling and harassing you there. Stay strong!

ks,,So does that mean I should not pay $$ via moneygram, eventhough I already paid $460 in fees :roll: :lol:
By the way I was not able to get through to CashToady, their phone just rung, and rung. Are you guys calling their phone lines, or did the FTC shut them down??? I called Monday and today, I was not able to speak with anyone, I got swithed to VM.

With luck the FTC shut them down; however, why do I doubt it? They'll lurk around FOREVER. :evil:

If you pay them all you are doing is rewarding them for very bad behavior and making it worse. My wife got mixed up with these bozos and she gets a call maybe once a month now. Luckily she never paid more than the 200 to them but they have destroyed 2 bank accounts now.

You will never guess what I received in the mail yesterday, well with this company you who have dealt and are still dealing with them might, a notice from my old bank account that on 11/8 probably after the moron mr johnson called me, they tried to hit my account for $340 and the bank rejected it due to the acct being frozen. Now my understanding was that mr johnson (bogus BS name) was going to try it on the 15th for $345, they even sent me an email stating that on the 15th they are going to TRY and debit 4 different pymts, I guess they think that i have only told my bank to look for a certain amount. well duh, you sent me an email stating what you are going to do...excuse my french, but what dumbasses

They are so stupid :evil:

Well, just got several emails from a "chris wilson" stating that the payments that they tried to ach on thurs 11/15 were returned due to "frozen bank account" and he (ha ha) would like me to call them due to this must be a bank error...whatever...they will start calling me now...here we go folks, hang on this is going to be a bumpy ride.

Deeann, you have come so far...this will be cake for you. I look at them like mosquitos on a warm summers night, continually buzzing in my ear until they are drawn to the light and zapped. :lol: Just remember to try not to take the calls and respond to the calls in writing. :wink:

Deeann, Yeah, some bank error. LOL. It is amazing isn't it. They all think its a bank error, they never think that it is an educated person finally doing what is legal for them to do. You are right , it will be a bumpy ride, but you know enough now not to fall.

hopefully they won't follow up on any of these emails w/ phone calls till late wednesday or friday..I won't be here friday...yippeee, our office is closed that day..eat voicemail moron

Voicemail is an awsome invention....I just tell mine I am on vacation for three weeks, I quit or anything else I can come up with. Watch you have 50 messages when you return.... :lol:

I agree Roxy. Voice mail is a wonderful thing. So is caller ID. Life savers.

I wish they had Caller ID on my service at work. I programmed all my pdls into my cell and gave them a silent ring tone so when they called I never knew. Many would not leave a message. I was so hurt by that :lol:

I've pretty much got everyone on board here at the office about whats going on. So we'll see if any calls actually get through to my desk..

You are lucky, Where I work is so big and we have an automated switchboard and the operator will just send stuff through...Most of my calls went to my cell, very few came to my desk.

If any one comes across that injustion I would love a copy of it. I have a loan as well with these people and they are the worse. They refuse to give out an address so how did you send them a letter.

tl, this is from another thread after doing a search in the search box in the top right hand side of the page.
