PDL

Yes they can.

Personally I think you can do it yourself. PDL Assistance has mixed reviewes. You can find more information on them here on the boards by searching around.

I'm moving this to the pdl forum so more people will see it. Meanwhile, list the following information so we can help you.
-Names of each pdl company.
-Whether they are store front or Internet.
-How much you borrowed.
-How much you paid so far.
-The state in which you reside.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but there is only one sure way to stop the withdrawals, and that is to close your account. If that isn't an option, then tell the bank to put a hard debit block on your account. Before you close your account, read this information at the link below. http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/paydayloan/close-account.html

Please do not let any of these pdl's know you are going to close your account, until AFTER you have done it!

If you can provide the information Shazzers has asked for we can assist you better. You really can do this yourself, it just takes time and motivation to get out of debt. You will also save alot of money if you work on this yourself.

If you dont want the PDL lenders to contact your references, go to each of your applications if website loans, and change the phone numbers ineach of your profiles. That's what I did. I'm currently working with PDL Assistance, and so far so good.

Whoa! Good idea guest!

I would guess that each of the companies software will maintain a history and still be able to retrieve the numbers.

As for the original question about them contacting your references. that is EXACTLY why they require them. When you don't pay, they have alternate numers to get a message to you. You also give them the right to contact them when you physically or electronically sign a contract.
