Austin Finance storefront loan in TX threatening check charges
Date: Wed, 09/12/2012 - 09:21
I took out a $500 loan with Austin Finance, a storefront company in Texas. I wrote them 5 postdated checks to repay the account. I made my first 2 payments via money order and they shredded the first 2 checks. The 3rd payment I could not make, and they deposited my check - written on a closed account. They are now threatening to file bad check charges and have a deputy visit me at my employer.
I am in Texas. I know Texas does not generally allow bad checks to be filed for repay of loans. Anyone know this situation, with a closed account?

Hot check charges can't be filed for payday loans. Call the TX OCCC and let them know that they're making these threats.
Austin Finance storefront loan in Texas - HELP!
Took a $500 loan from them. Had a check come back on a closed account, they're threatening to send a deputy after me. I'm in Texas, pretty sure DA's don't allow filing hot checks for loans or debt but not sure about anything else (JP, court etc). Looking for advice on what may be coming.
