Hi i have been contacted by United Cash Loans saying i took out a loan from them when i didnt i was on deployment when they say i did. How do i go about filing a complaint or fraud or whatever i need to do? Thank you.


Good question, morning! bbowlingusn, have they debited your account for any money? And how did they contact you? Was it by telephone or email? You can tell them to send you documents showing your "electronic signature" and the date. In the meantime, file complaints with the bbb, the ftc, and your state ag. If you need any help with this, just post and we can help you!

This is important here:

One of the provisions of the FY 2007 Military Authorization Act1, makes it illegal for creditors to grant payday loans and car title loans to military members.

The change also prohibits charging more than 36 percent interest to military borrowers. Fees, service charges, renewal charges, credit insurance premiums or any other product sold with the loan must be included when calculating the interest rate. In the past, there have been "horror stories" of military members paying up to 800 percent interest by using such gimmicks.

The new law is a result of Department of Defense recommendations made in a report to Congress last August.

The law will effectively close down payday loan operations around military bases. Such operations can currently be seen outside the gates of almost every U.S. Military installation in the states. Under the new law, lenders will not be allowed to lend money to military members or their families using a check, or any other means of access to a financial account, as security for the loan.

The new law will take affect when the Department of Defense writes implementation instructions, or on October 1, 2007, whichever comes first. The law is not retroactive, which means loans that are made before it goes into affect are not covered. Lenders who violate the provisions of the law are subject to a fine and up to one year in prison.

The new law prohibits:


Requiring military members to set up an allotment as a condition of receiving a loan.

Requiring the use of a vehicle title as security for any loans made to service members and military family members.

Using a check or any other access to a member's financial account as security for a loan.

Lenders from renewing, repaying, refinancing, rolling over, or consolidating consumer credit using the proceeds of other credit granted by the same lender to the military member.

Requiring military members to waive their rights under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act (SCRA)2, or any other federal law.

Denying the opportunity for military members to pay the loan off early, and any penalties for early payments.

Any unreasonable clauses in the contract designed to make it difficult for military members to take a creditor to court.

States from allowing creditors to violate state consumer loan protection laws for military members who are nonresidents.

b, Yes, they do have good points about the military however, you do need to file complaints against this company especially since you are in the military. Please do not let this company get away with this. They need to be held accountable for this. You have all the information you need to file your complaints, if you have any questions, just post.

Just as important, we need to address your banking situation. This is importatnt becuase if they are debiting, until you either pay them in full or until you can get the situation resolved, they will continue to debit your account. This needs to be stopped. As Cannr asked, did they deposit any money and have they taken money from your account. Have you contacted your bank regarding the issue? If so what are they doing to help you?

Absolutely! Any information that can be used to help needs to be posted. I think we all agree that this is something that needs to be made aware of by our guest. And knowing this information will be helpful and also going to the commander might be beneficial also. One member got a lot of help just by going to his commander.

I still hope that our guest will come along and let us know if they did indeed notice a deposit in their account (unauthorized) and if any debits have been taken out. If this is the case, our guest really needs to address the bank account issue.
