Cash Call Lawsuit: Suit to stop illegal lending practices by Cash Call
Date: Mon, 10/01/2007 - 22:22
Here is what I can say on the lawsuit in a nutshell from Arthur: it is being filed in Los Angeles County and concerns CC's lending practices, specifically interest rates, fees and CC's practice of debiting on days that weren't agreed on by the consumer. Also they are looking at CC's charging bounced check fees that are higher than California state law allows. And more importantly, they are working to see that Cashcall doesn't engage in harassing activities.
Arthur agreed to let me give his contact information, but wants it in a PM to individuals, due to the volume of calls he could get.
He said that he would be willing to help if someone is facing an extreme situation with CC right now.
I told him that I am ready to sign on in the battle and know that many other members of the community would too!

MN victims
Registered users that are dealing with Western Sky/CashCall loans, I have some information on an attorney that will help you with these. If you want to PM me, I can give you the details. He is only dealing with MN residents at this time BUT for residents of other states (I am from Texas) this will hopefully be certified as a class action to help the rest of us shut these people down.
Great experience
I funded my loan with CashCall last year and have not had any problems. The customer service was superb, and I never closed my refinance this quickly. I hope people like yourself who never had any experience refinancing with them would do something better with your time instead of making a comment from other comments that weren't based on facts. Comments should only be made from first hand experiences. Do your research people, the complaints were from consumer loans and from those people who are in default and do not want to pay the loan they take out. I have not had any problems with them thus far and neither has my friends who referred me to them.
I need help please
can you give me further info on this attorney as to his contact info and is this lawsuit in progress? I am being threatened by cash call now and would appreciate any help I can get
Here's the situation.....
Here's the situation......there is a law firm with offices in both SD and MN who is ready to file a class action lawsuit against Western Sky/Cash Call regarding these illegal loans. He really wants to file the lawsuit in MN so where the courts are very consumer friendly (I live in Texas which is a very non-consumer friendly state) so that the lawsuit can get certified as a class action AND WE ALL CAN JOIN IN. So, if you meet the following criteria: (1) Western Sky initiated loan; and (2) you live in MN, please send me a private message and I will get you in touch with him. Once he gives me the go ahead, I will make sure everyone on this board has the information to join into the lawsuit. I know there are MN victims out there, please help me find them so we can get the ball rolling on this!!!
Cashcall lawsuit
Will this lawsuit ever get settled.
I got the class action notice on 8/2012.
I emailed cashcall@kccllc.com regarding the class action.
Ask what do I have to do be in this class action, they replied back and said "do nothing to be included in the class action".
Seems like no updates since then, I did get a $2600 loan on 11/2006.
Payed it off with huge interest like 500%. Now I'm getting emails again from Cashcall.
They say that I'm a preferred customer and want to lend me up to $10.000! No, I want some of my money back. I did pay off my loan and more.

Cashcall lawsuit update: 5/26/13
I got an email from Arthur Levy office. Looks like it will be awhile, but still in motion.
We are in the discovery phase of the lawsuit, which involves gathering and analyzing a large amount of evidence. We will not be going trial or settle the case for at least another year.
Thank you.

Chuck - what state are you in
Chuck - what state are you in? Was your loan originally through Western Sky or Cash Call? There are several states that have taken action against loans issued by Western Sky -- maybe your state is one of them. I had the same thing happen to me -- I sent in payments to be applied to principal (on top of my regular monthly payments). They applied all of the payments to interest and none of the extra went to the principal. They are notorious for that from what I have learned. They do not want you to pay off your loan early and make it pretty much impossible.
I had already been in
I had already been in communication with them -but went a head and clicked on link above and filled out needed info to make sure on their list.. It was perfectly safe.
This is what I got in return:
"Thank you for your inquiry into the Western Sky Internet Loan lawsuit. The case is currently proceeding in the United States District Court for District of South Dakota. The plaintiffs will be seeking certification of classes that include IKO customers in Minnesota, Virginia, and Texas. If you do not live in one of the above-listed states, then you will not be part of the class action. Although additional states may be included in the future, there is no guarantee of that happening.
With the information that you provided in your inquiry to us, your name will be added to our firm’s database. We will use this information to contact you as the case progresses, and possibly, in furtherance of the litigation. If, at the end of the litigation, there is a favorable outcome, we will use this information to inform you of how you can claim a share of any funds or other benefit that may be available.
Please remember that litigation is always uncertain, and there is no guarantee of success. We have not undertaken an investigation to determine all possible claims or rights you may have relative to other possible parties. It appears that your case could involve at least a products liability claim as well as other issues. This should require a more thorough discussion and analysis of the facts and law applicable to your concerns. There are time-sensitive deadlines on commencing and defending all lawsuits, and failure to file or defend a suit within the time period may mean that you are barred forever from pursuing your action or other legal rights. Consequently, if you intend to pursue this matter, we cannot stress enough the importance of obtaining representation without delay to protect your rights."
As a plaintiff in this class
As a plaintiff in this class action, I can tell you the complaint sets forth a provision to open the class up nationally. It's a waiting game for now to see if we get the class action certified. If you have read the complaint, you will see these loan agreements are more than just usurious. I have been fighting them for a year now and it is my mission to shut them down from perpetrating this fraudulent scam in any state in the US.
memphis help
hello im cynthia and I stay in Memphis Tennessee and cash call is charging me a high interest rate also please anyone help
cash call payoff
I have tried very hard to pay this off with a credit card but they won't let me. Saying that their server is down. It has been a week
They don't want you paying
They don't want you paying off the loan. They did this to me every time I tried to make additional payments on principal which led me to start investigating them and found out the loan was illegal and I had already way over paid the principal. They are having a hard time processing payments due to all of the lawsuits and legal actions blocking them from ACH access and banks being warned against doing business with them. Even if you try and mail it in, they will not apply any of the payment to principal, all of the extra payments I sent in marked to apply to principal ALL went to interest -- biggest rip off ever.
Tried to make payment arrangements
I need to know if there is anything I can do about them filing a case against me in court...yes, I did default on the loan. I went through a divorce, lost my job, lost my house and am now living with someone. I am working on my own selling online but am not making that much money. They have been bombarding the references I used with calls and after I finally got the message I immediately called the company handling it. I explained my situation now and offered to set up payment arrangements with them of $100 a month and then possibly up the payment or make a settlement offer in the future. I guess they refused my offer and are accusing me of refusing to pay...which is NOT true. So, they supposedly are filing a case in the county I used to live in. I attempted to work with them and THEY are the ones refusing to work with me. My loan goes all the way back to 2007! Also, "pay day loans" are illegal in the state I used to live in...and they were illegal at the time I got the loan. Will that make any difference for me and my case? I obviously cannot afford a lawyer. So, what do I do?
Was your loan originally
Was your loan originally through Western Sky or directly with Cash Call? This makes a huge difference.
State of VA Class Action Suit!?
Can someone tell me if there is currently a suit filed currently in VA? My husband had a loan from then at one time in 2011, I think. We ended up being sent to collections and an outside "legal" group took over our repayment and we paid them off. I.think anyway!

HELP ME PLEASE ASAP!!!!!!!!
Please let me know how I can get in contact with Mr. Levy. My e-mail is andreaxp51@yahoo.com. In July 2013 I contacted CC and borrowed $3,500 due to crisis situation. Now I realize that I made a huge mistake because not only is their minimum payments high, their interest rate accumulates each day. Also, Upon agreement to take money out in a specific date they failed to meet the agreement by going in in later dates while the interest rates sky rockets. I'm a single mother of four and this is a truly devastating matter. Please help me!!!!!!
Arbitration
Cash Call has an arbitration agreement meaning it cannot sue a debtor in court and if it does the case can be moved to AAA. Cash Call has to pay the costs of consumer arbitration which at least in California can be $3200. It makes little sense for Cash Call to spend $3200 to chase $2500 in principal which may not be collectable. Something to think about.
my loan was originally
my loan was originally through western sky, and it pays to cash call with a crazy high interest rate, my husband had one and so do I, the last payment for him was made in October, and mine was at the beginning of this month, neither in the original amount, and the payments before were only a few dollars what does this mean?
CASHCALL NEED TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS
I MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE BY TAKEN OUT A LOAN WITH CC. Please provide me with Mr. Levy contact information
