Hi jsf03, Geneva Roth will keep debiting you account forever,
Hi jsf03,
Geneva Roth will keep debiting you account forever, I had a loan with them that I had overpaid by about $800. The first thing to do would be to secure your account so they can no longer access your funds. I'm not positive, but I believe they are illegal. Once your account is secure, you want to send them a letter revoking your authorization to debit your account and any wage assignements you may have signed. You will also want to file a complaint with the BBB, FTC & attorney general for OH.
I was able to settle with them through the BBB, I was hoping for a refund, but ended up with a PIF, so I was happy.
I am posting your laws for OH:

Someone with a little more experience should be along to help as well.
Do math first
I did LoanPointUsa and calculated the math to know how quickly I could pay it off due to my biweekly checks. I did have to pay alot since it took one more paycheck. I don't seem to have any trouble since it got paid and all fees incurred where handled.
