PA Payday Loans-Need Help Desperately
Date: Mon, 08/29/2011 - 16:39
I live in Pennsylvania and work in NJ. When I began taking out payday loans, I was living with my parents, who also live in PA. The companies have their address on file, not my current one. The main contact number is my cell phone, but they do have my mother and their phone number) as a reference because when i statrted taking these out I thought they would need verification. the other reference is a fake name a one of my previous cell phone numbers. They also all have my work address and the main number for it. Due to what I do for a living, my company 100% cannot find out about this mess. The one possible light at the end of the tunnell for me is that I am interviewing for a job and if I get an offer, will be starting on 10/03/11. It is a very large firm, so when they call the operator will just tell them that I no longer work there. I am paid on the 15th and last day of every month.
As I mentioned, I did something today that was probably very counter productive. I had two loans that i consolidated into one. i think all three are shell companies for Tribal Lenders from Miami, OK. The two loans i paid off and put into new one:
Ameriloan borrowed $400 paid $240 int. $50 prin
USFastCash bor $400 paid $360 int $50 prin
I just did this online today and pric+last interest in scheduled to be deducted to my bank account on 8/31.
I borrowed $600 from UnitedCashLoans which will hit my bank account tomorrow to do this. The first interest payment is in 9/15 for $180
I also have the other loans outstanding:
StarCashProcessing:
Borrowed $450 paid $540 int no principal
Lakota Cash:
Borrowed 400 paid $360 int $50 principal
Four Seasons Cash:
Borrowed $500, paying first in 8/31 $99 next 9/15 $106.
The last one is at a lower rate. All other ones are at what seems to be the standard $60 int for every $100 borrowed per month..or $30 every pay check.
I have read about paydayloan consolidation, switching banks and writing letters, contacting the AG...I am open to anything, do not mind harrassing phone calls to my cell phone. My work cannot be contacted while I am there still, and I would rather avoid having them call my parents.
I make around $65k a year, so have been able to pay these by contiuing to borrow but really need some advice how to end this because it has forced me to live paycheck to paycheck and if my pay cycle is ever changed or I leave my job, I will default. Plus this is no way to live and it is absurd that 1/3 of every paycheck for the last year has gone to interest.
PLEASE HELP ME
I thank you very much for your help beforehand. Any and all advice is much appreciated.

I sent a Cease and Detest letter, faxed, mailed, and emailed to Advance Me Today! And mentioned that his staff, Desean Campbell and William Hill, threatened to call me every day! I said you your company monitors your calls! I said pull their conversations, you will hear the threats! Then he mentioned a GATT Treaty? I said, Mr. Bourn, clearly you???re from the United States, and realize I have a functioning IQ above 70! So, don???t quote international treaties! Your company is illegal in Pennsylvania! [/COLOR]

Well, they could but it wouldn't be very prudent. If they show up in court, they're likely to be arrested :)
They're trying to scare you into giving them your money.
Don't fall for their BS.
