i have a loan through one click cash for $200 that i have paid $180 on through rollover fees. well, after finding out they were illegal and unlicensed to lend in the state of ohio. i closed my bank account and sent them a cease and desist letter informing them that since they were illegal, i was only obligated to pay back the principal amount borrowed of $200 and the $180 rollover fees that i have paid should be deducted from that leaving me with a balance of $20. well, these clowns started calling me at my job every day since this tuesday informing me that i owe them another $260 because that is what i signed the contract for. $200 loan and a $60 finance charge. i told them that they were crazy and that i didn't owe them another $260. who's right in this? do i just owe them $20 to cover the principal amount or do i just pay them the $260 to get them off my back and stop them from calling my job everyday, even though i told them numerous of times not to do so. Btw, i have filed a complaint with the ohio attorney general and the bbb. what should i do? please help!


Your only obligated to pay back the principle amount morally...One Click Cash is an illegal PDL in almost every state...Some one will be along to post your state laws regarding PDL's. Good luck~

I hope the information below will help you.
You are only obligated to pay back the principal amount you borrowed from an unlicensed/illegal Internet Payday Lender.

What should you do?
Close your account asap, if you are unable to close your account, go into your bank and ask to speak with the Branch Manager, tell him/her you need a hard debit block placed on your account immediately! Explain that you are revoking ACH authorizations from unlicensed/illegal companies, and have learned these companies are notorious for ignoring revocation, therefore it is important to BLOCK any withdrawal attempts on your account to protect your interest. This is your privilege, do not accept no for an answer. The following link will provide you important information regarding closing accounts. CLICK HERE

What next?
AFTER your account is secure send each pdl (the unlicensed and illegal) an email similar to THIS (please scroll down to locate letter template). Tailor this letter to your needs, and try to write it with the same basic concept in your own words. You will need to research and locate email addresses/physical addresses if you don't already have them, I suggest that you type the name of the pdl (example: "oneclickcash address") in the search box in the upper right hand corner of this forum. You may also search for addresses HERE at the Better Business Bureau.

File complaints: Most of the time, you can file a complaint online with the following, I encourage you to follow through with doing so, you will need to search the Internet for your state Attorney General's website, however, here are links to file complaints for the FTC, Online complaints: Federal Trade Commission., and the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

Keep in mind that you may not receive a response for days, or even weeks, or, you may receive harassing and threatening phone calls. I have found the best way to deal with this is not to respond or reply, simply hang up.

Side note: If you have paid an illegal/unlicensed payday lender above and beyond the principal amount you borrowed, it might be a good idea to demand a refund and a paid in full letter/receipt. You may or may not get one or both. It still doesn't hurt to include that tidbit in your letter.

thanks ksando and dawn. i have already closed my bank account and filed complaints with the bbb and the ohio attorney general but how do i get these bozos to stop calling me at work? i've sent my c&d letters over and over informing them not to but they still do and i got so frustrated that i almost got into a shouting match with this very rude lady who had an attitude as soon as she called. i have other contact numbers and an email address where they can call me at, why do they insist on calling me at work? i can't have them calling me at my job every day like that. btw, this is jennipher again i forgot to log in..

You may want to try the next time they call - that you don't work there anymore or have someone else do it for you...
