Ldoll. . . I can only tell you how I handled UFC. I too a loan
Ldoll. . . I can only tell you how I handled UFC. I too a loan out with them. I came to this site in February, whereby I closed my bank account to deny them access. I live in NY, where PDLs are prohibited as well. I drafted my C and D letter and sent it each and every day until I got what I wanted. I then took the advice of James and called their processor, Intercept EFT, and spoke with Cindy. I told her that I had revoked their ACH authorization and even though they had not tried to debit my account recently, I wasn't sure that, if sometime in the future, they would ask Intercept to debit on a revoked account. Cindy emailed them. I then sent an email to UFC detailing my conversation with Intercept, and again attaching my State Laws. I also called Bremer Bank, as they were listed as the originator of the loan on my bank statement. I got that directly from the ACH department of my bank. Within no time I got my PIF from them with $30 still remaining on my balance. I did this early on in the processor route, like the first to call, I believe. I know that Intercept is now requiring that your bank be notified of the revocation, as well as the PDL. They seem to be playing more by the book, with all the complaints they are receiving, but I do think the mere thought of losing their way to move their funds is creeping them out. This is your last PDL. Don't give up on them. I think that being prohibited is on your side. I know it was for me. Give this a try. Intercept EFT can be reached at 1-800-378-3328. Ask to speak with Cindy. If Bremer is still banking with them, they can be reached at 1-800-908-2265. I do hope that this can net you a PIF. Keep at em' and keep us posted.

llw1995 - Would you mind sharing your C & D letter? This is great advice - thank you!!!
Everyone else was okay to work with - probably because I overpaid them!
paulmergel - I've been around! I've been enjoying being almost PDL free and paying my "real" bills!!
Ldoll. . .no problem. Since you are also in a State that prohib
Ldoll. . .no problem. Since you are also in a State that prohibits these things most of this will probably apply. You will, of course, have to adapt it to your particular situation. Also, I put in the particulars somewhere in each individual PDL regarding how much I had already paid, what I still owed and what I was willing to repay. None of my PDLs were overpaid at the time I started knocking them down, so I feel I was at an advantage. I lost nothing monetarily, and in fact I actually paid less than what I borrowed, as UFC booted me to the curb with $30 still owing and Star Advance booted me with a whopping $293 still owing! I hope this information works out for you. One thing I forgot to mention, when I did contact Intercept EFT, I immediately went to there website, and went to the comment section and posted the same C and D letter to them as well so they were aware that I had, in fact, said what I told them I said, to the PDL. Before I sent it, I copied it over to another email and then sent that straight away to UFC, so they too, knew that I wasn't kidding around. It can get convoluted I would guess, but it worked out for me. Hope it does the same for you. Here ya go. . .
