800-284-6066 Halsted Finanacial???

Quote:

I live in Califorinia and honestly i cannot remember the original amount. I think it was 350.00. They just called me again and i aske that they not call me at work and i gave them my cell # but he said he would not stop until I made some sort of payment arrangement. I don't know what to do, is this company legit if i do make some kind of payment to them??

oh and he said he didn't know if he could hold my account much longer and it would be forward to an attorney.

I'm sorry I don't mean to sound stupid but what does AG and FTC stand for?

and if they do provide me verification and it turns out that I do still owe some money, is it safe to pay this company? or what should I do?

Quote:

this same company keeps calling my work and left a message stating they were going to start garnishment on my wages. I have never received a letter or anything period from thes people or anyone else reagrding a garnishment. They said they verified my employment already. Can they garnish my wages in Arizona without receiving any paperwork or anything on it???

Thank you so much for your help

it's my pleasure.

I just received correspondence from Halsted Financial regarding two payday loans I had with Midland and Fox. They are offering me settlements and they also said in their letter that they have been trying to contact me (haven't received any phone calls, etc. until now) and that they are "investigating" my assets. They can't debit any of my accounts can they!?! I checked my bank statements and for Midland for a $300.00 my account was debited for a total of $360.00 ($90.00 increments) for Fox for a $250.00 loan my account was debited for a total of $450.00 (again $90.00 increments). I don't think I should have to pay them one more cent. I am filing a complaint with the NYAG's office. Will this be enough to stop them or should I get an attorney? I'm starting to see a light at the end of this payday loan nightmare I got myself into. I will never do that again!!!

Halsted Financial has called me again, my loan was for 400.00 they were asking 760, but are offering my a settlement of 380.00. Should I pay this?? How will I know that once this is paid they will not come back for more and that my payment will go toward the loan??

Quote:

They said they will e-mail the settlement to me. Will that work? If not what am I to ask for? If they are not legit how am I suppost to get this loan paid off. I just want to be done with it.

obviously you should pay them...if they're willing to put it in writing you have nothing to worry about. I just paid them over a month ago and i just got my paid in full letter. To be completely honest with you..i have been in debt my self, and i have dealt with a ton of collection agencies, this is by far the best collection agency i have ever dealt with. The guy i spoke to allowed me to pay less then what i orginally owed. I feel like this paul mergel guy is a dead beat that doesn't like to take care of his bills . Dont be like him. I mean people like him is the reason our credit card rate goes up. Paul why are you steering people the wrong way?? if they don't pay what they owe, then it will always stain your credit?? I had 4 accounts in collections before i paid them off and i can actually say i have decent credit now. Why? is because i pay my BILLS!!!! do listen to this looser people, he sounds like a dead beat.

They just called me from 1-703-829-4257. I asked for proof that I owed them money. They couldn't give it to me. I took out a loan from payday for $350.00, before I knew it they took $1157.00 from my account! I closed the account and they are still calling me.:confused:

Stop taking out payday loans then.. You put yourself in this position

I just got a call from these morons. A guy named Frank Brady had to have repeated my name 7 times at least.

I asked him where I should send my bill, to his home or office. He asked "What bill" I answered, "The bill for the 7 times you used my name without my express written permission since my name is my property and has since been copyrighted. 7 times $10,000.00 per use equals $70,000.00. So do you want to get the bill at home or at work?"

He said he would mail me a letter.

I love screwing with these guys.

I say just pay them what you owed. If you cant remember the original amount then pay them 50% of the balance. Im sure they'll take it. just pay them something ..-05

take that stupid point of view elsewhere humanoid.

oh yes i can't recall the alleged debt,but lets just pay something.you shills get dumber by the day.

Sheesh...I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that...05 do you really just pay people who call you up and claim you owe them, even if you don't recall the debt? Gimme your phone number..I will be sure to call ya.:rolleyes::-P

Hey you should get in touch with me on this...I am considering legal action against Halsted

I spoke with a rep. from this company named Jake who was rude and unprofessional in every sense of the word. I then spoke with his "manager" Sam Anthony who was not interested in listening to what i had to say about their representative. I would find a another company because as they say, " attitudes reflect leadership"

These losers have been calling me for the past year, and I pick up everytime to see what kind of stupidly they'll try.. Everytime its the sameee story, tell me they're going to garnish me - still waiting... It's been a year since they've told me that btw.. And it's always the same group of guys... These guys are what they call bottom feeders... They're making a living from stupid people such as your selves who think a pay day loan will affect they're credit. And I'll be completely honest - the only reason I did get the loan is bc I know they literally cannot do anything to you to get they're money back... You can't get blood out of a stone! And IF I wanted to pay anyone it would be to the company I borrowed the money from, not some call center from india or wherever they're from

These people are on their own so if you don't pay it back o well its a legal loan shark and the gov't won't let it effect your credit. Its the person putting up their own money for you.
