threats of issuance against my ssn for bounced checks
Date: Mon, 10/13/2008 - 12:03
I am currently paying off a payday loan that i defaulted on in installments. i dont know the exact ammount, but i do know that i have paid them at least $100 more than i originally owed them. i would stop the payments (via a pre-paid credit card) but they have threatened to issue SOMETHING against my name and social security number. i was told that this could be considered as my writing and bouncing a bad check, which is a felonly in maine, where i live. however, this was all done over the internet. can they do this, and if so what are the penalties?
also, i have a 200 loan through rapidcashmanagement that i have been paying roughly $180 dollars a month on for the past five monthes. they have their money already. im considering not paying them anymore either. and they're from london, so it seems, so i dont know that they can really do anything.
let it be known that i am fully willing to pay what i owe plus any reasonable finance charges, but this is getting rediculous.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Installment loans
As you have an installment loan, which is legal. You owe what you agreed to in the loan terms that you signed when you received the loan.
"i have paid them at least $100 more than i originally owed them."
Is a false statement, as the fees/interest are determined by what's in your loan document, not principal only, it did cost them money to lend that money to you, and since you had that money, they could not collect interest that they normally could in the bank.
