Ok, I've closed my bank account (actually it's currently on "Balance Hold" but the lady is checking every few days to make sure no unauthorized ACH's come through. We have emptied that account and opened a new one. I sent the C & D letters to OneClickCash (who I have now paid off and then some, despite their objections) and CashJar (think I have PIF but their member website gives you NO info about your loan or payments and I can't view my closed bank account to verify).
I've contacted CashNetUsa, Speedy Cash, Cash Central and Idealgelt to let them know the account was closed and I would need their address to send my full payment to. Since these lenders are "legal", am I sending them the borrowed amount, plus the applied interest or just the principle?
For example. I took a $500 loan from Cashnetusa and the interest made it $588.25. They sent me this email this morning:
"Dear xxxxxx,
Thank you for contacting us to inquire about how you can pay off your balance.
The payment plan we can offer is below.
04/20-$613.25

Am I now to pay the $613.25? Cashcentral has also added fees on. I know that I am definitely responsible for the principle and feel like I should pay the interest I agreed on, provided it doesn't exceed the AZ state law limit. Suggestions?
P.S. I can't tell you how grateful I am that I stumbled onto this site, your assistance has been invaluable!!!


I would copy and paste the AZ payday loan laws with the interest limit and tell them you are following your payday loan laws, however, I am wondering if they are adding late charges. You could try to negotiate with them, reply and tell them you can pay a reduced amount and ask if they will accept.

Ok, knew it was too quiet around here. Cashnet is not waiving the fee, so I'm paying the $613.25. Oh well, it was worth a shot. However, I had sent Oneclickcash the C&D letter over a week ago and not heard a word. My principle with them was $350 and I had repayed $405. Today I got this email:

What would be an appropriate response to this? Should I just re-send the C&D letter and add that I am demanding a PIF? How would be the best way to word that?

I can't tell you how many times I have read this same letters, posted by others. They are so full of crap it isn't funny! Ha!

I would just resend the C&D letter, repeatedly, and I DO mean over and over and over again, they will soon get the message. Don't speak to them on the phone if they call, hang up immediately! Only correspond via email. You will soon receive another email stating you signed an agreement that will say something about their governing law, blah blah blah.

Yup, just got the first phone call. I answered because I didn't know who it was. Told them they were not to contact me via phone, only through email or mail and my account was PIF. Then hung up. Will wait to see what happens next. I did file a complaint w/BBB that was forwarded to Omaha BBB.

This is the response to the complaint I filed that the BBB received from OCC:


To Whom It May Concern:
We recognize this complaint as a response to a template of a form letter circulating the Internet. This customer has sent us several copies of this form letter over the past few days!
This form letter is full of mis-leading and inaccurate information. Unless this customer has a specific complaint regarding the handling of their account, we do not believe a response is warranted. Thank you for your consideration in this matter
