I just got an email from edollarsdirect customer service because I had forwarded my cease and desist letter requesting my refund and they said.....

"READ THE TERMS OF THE LOAN THAT YOU SIGNED"

They typed it in all caps and that was all that was said. Any suggestions to how I should respond to this. They are illegal in Ohio.


i would file AG complaints,also FTC complaints.
i would reply with your state laws plus the fact they are illegal in ohio.they will try to argue your state laws don't matter,but they are the ones you go by.you could say the contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

And I bet you they will come back with they follow the laws of their state not yours. Ok so that is what I am guessing they will say because that is what they seem to always say.

I am going to try what you said. If I were to respond to them with out any suggestions from here I am afraid I would not have been to nice and might have gotten myself into trouble. I am tired and cranky today!!

Mandy..they won't even respond to my emails. I would say you DID NOT disclose to me that you are illegal, that you are not licensed in my state or YOUR state (they are supposed to be in NV), there are no legal loan terms to read...send me my refund and pif letter. Failure to disclose required information voids most every contract I've read...most, if not all legal contracts, have a clause that states this.

I posted this to ACH processors thread:

"I found out the bank for MW Marketing aka EDollarsDirect is Monterey Bank, Monterey CA...phone # is 831-649-4600. My bank says it was a bank to bank transaction...no ach processor involved. Does this sound right?"

Mandy..who was debiting your bank acct..MW Marketing or EDollarsDirect?

Yes it does sound right. That is how it works with Star Advance. I couldn't find a processor for them either but I did have their bank. I contacted their legal department and after much searching located an email address in Costa Rica and got through to them. I got a really nice letter from the administrator and my account was closed/PIF. Call the bank and let them know that you have revoked the ACH authorization.

They did not notify of the change in the name. I have not contacted the banks legal department. I am a little confused when you say email address that I needed. What did you mean by that?

I just checked my email and I just got an email from ezloansbynet that was similiar to the one from edollarsdirect. They also owe me for overpaying. I simply stated what you had said above. We will see what they say.

Oh and I asked them to provide their physical address and federal id if they are indeed a legal company.

When you agreed to the terms by signing a legal E-signature with the laws of the isle and providence of Nevis West Indies via the Internet your states laws do not pertain to the contract you had approved. You can find this information on your contract about 2/3 down the page under the governing law. For any further questions to this loan you will need to contact I-collect at 1-866-856-1024 I cannot speak to you in regards to this matter because it has been turned over to a 3rd party collections.

How should I respond? Isn't there a law that goes by where the loan was debited into and not where it orginated from.

shymerle. . . when I called the Bank of the West for Star Advance and explained what was going on, they flipped out and sent me right straight to their legal deparment. They got just as flustered and fell all over themselves trying to figure out a way to get out of the jam that I had brought to their attention. Right after that, I located the administrator of Star Advance, sent her an email, and within no time at all I had an apology from her and a PIF when I still had a $293 balance. Perhaps I have been very fortunate in my endeavors to get rid of all my PDLs. Diligence pays off so hang in there. Don't let up until you get what you want.

Mandy, skymerle here....
I have exactly what you have and no where does it say
ANYTHING about a governing state law. (I'm really bad about keeping paperwork...I have documents from 20 years ago.) I know what they sent to me and what they did not send to me. I also know that an application is not a contract, nor is an email outlining payment options. I never really looked at the paperwork they sent to me until I found this forum. I also have about 3-4 different fax #s and 4-5 different phone #s. When I faxed my revocation/D&C letter, I faxed it to all the fax #s I had.

And I too have been turned over to AIS collections by ICollect. Maybe we can make a conference call to them together...

What a coincidence... I just sent a DV letter to Lawrence Nathan Associates in LV, Nevada on Monday because they have been hounding me with calls on my cell, work and home about a PDL from Edollars Direct from 2005!!! I keep telling them that it has been paid YEARS ago and they keep calling me, so I sent the letter and see if they give me all the information that I requested. According to the USPS "tracking", they received it today, so hopefully, they will stop calling.
Don't give up on them!!! Keep sending the letters until they get tired and hopefully give-up.
Can't wait until Monday... to see if they really get the point that I am not messing with them and their scare tactics anymore.
They have reported me to the Credit Bureau and I want them to respond to my request or I will have them removed from the credit file. :evil:

I want to clarify about the letter that I sent to Lawrence Nathan Associates, it specifically asked to remove their entry from my credit report because Edollars Direct was fined by the State of Nevada, Division of Business Regulations in 2006 $50,000 for being unlicensed. In their press release it states that all contracts that customers had with Edollars Direct are null and void.
I attached a copy of the release to the letter that I sent them.
They should be out of business for making loans and advances illegally!!!

In MANY states, PDL's are illegal. I thought i read, from one of the above posts, that the PDL was on someone's CR. If the PDL was illegal in the first place, how CAN the PDL report to the CB?

That is why I am asking Edollars Direct and Lawrence Nathan Associates to remove it from my credit report. They are illegal and they are supposed to have it removed from my CR. I am going to give them 30 days and if I do not hear from them,then I will send them a second letter and one to the credit reporting agencies to have it removed.

sky here...
I recd a phone call from Phoenix debt management or Recovery about edollarsdirect & the $300 I owed them.
I told the lady I had way overpaid edollarsdirect and I did not owe them a dime. She ask me to send her evidence of the overpayment and that they would return the debit/amt owed back to edollarsdirect. I did fax evidence(bank statements will all but the edollarsdirect aka MW (MK?) Marketing ach debits blacked out). I've not heard another word from Phoenix or edollarsdirect. But they are going to hear from me.

Sky,

So they told you they could send it pack to edollars? I have not even heard from a collection agency yet but they said they sent it back in Feb. to the collection agency. They owe me $800.

I wonder if anyone has gotten a refund from edollars. By the way it was edollars until the principle was paid and then it started coming out as MW marketing.
