Hi all,

Has anyone actually received a letter in the mail from Westbury Ventures? I did. After a dozen or so emails from "William Smith" claiming that I am responsible for paying them, they finally contacted me via USPS. My response to the emails they sent were the standard debt validation letter, to which they never responded.

My questions to the group are this:

1. Do we know if Westbury Ventures is operating legally in Delaware (i.e. are they licensed)?

2. While they sent the date of the loan and the initial amount (plus an inordinate amount of "interest"), there is no indication of what company funded the original loan. Aren't they obligated to provide me with that information?

3. How do you suggest I respond to them this time?

Thanks,

HZ

You're telling me they can and will find my new bank account? How is that possible or even legal? Even if I moved states and changed banks(which I did)? I don't know how they even found my new address. Payday loans are ILLEGAL in my new state of residency. Does that help me out at all?

I dealt with The Loan Shop and got threatening emails and unuathorized debits from Wesbury Ventures. I filed against The Loan Shop with the BBB, the FTC and the FBI Internet Crime Division. The BBB filing got me a refund. One of the other agencies sent my case to the Department of Justice in Willmington, Delawere. An investigator with the Department of Justice in Wilmington, Delaware contacted me and said that the address in Delaware is just a Mailboxes ETC. The investigator also said that The Loan Shop was not licensed in Delaware. You might want to find out if either Westbury or Arrowhead are. If you would like to contact this investigator, here is the contact info:

Hellz, We are not saying they will definately get your new account information but it has happened. It so far is the exception but this is one company that members have posted, got their new account information. Most of us are really careful with our account information, how we pay bills, etc. and many of us check our accounts daily and/or several times a day. Just be careful and watch your account closely.
