Got my refund from Rio Resources

Congratulations, Tammy! Way to go!

yea tammy
strange though, they say mte dba rio, yet neither are registered corporations in Oklahoma, email says rioresourcesllc, which is a corporation in New Mexico what name is on the check?

This is the name on the check and the return address

MTE Financial Services
d/b/a Rio Resources
515G SE
Miami, OK 74354

I thought this was strange also.

Rio Resources is an assumed name. I have no idea where MTE is registered. I've been trying to find them for a long time.

I think the reall company is rio resources llc out of new mexico, which is traceable to a mexican company. I think this because the original laon agreement i had referenced new mexico laws, adn the email address of their compliance dept is compliancederpartment(at)rioresourcesllc.com.. I think MTE is the shell

right but that compliance department email addy is through domains by proxy, inc.

Polly, what does that mean, the compliance department addy is through domains by proxy, inc. I think I know but what happens if you send an email there??? They don't get it or what. (You know so much about this stuff).

They are Rio, ameriloan, United Cash Loans, National Fast Cash...

So should we all start calling him and harrassing him?? Can you even imagine how rich these people are, I know they've gotten tons of money from me. :x

actually i did call and a answering machine picks up stating that they do not issue loans, and to contact your lender with questions.... whatever

Hang on to your chairs, I just got a email from ameriloan stating that since my hubby is such a good customer, they would like to offer us a new loan. I replyed back "ARE YOU DRUNK OR JUST STUPID, remove our address immediately.

LMAO

How ridiculous! Your reply is very funny!! :shock:

LOL I think my sarcasm is rubbing off on everyone else...lol Everyone is getting so bold..I am so proud...hehe

polly how did you make the connection?

I think what we see going on here is a variety of actual lenders using common web sites as interfaces, thus the web site may not be anything more than a referral site, now if someonce could trace the bank info from a debit, deposit or check, then perhaps you could uncover the actual entity with the money

Searching the street address on the envelope and the check, this is what I found.

Four Tribes Core Management

Tammy, they might show you at your door to offer another loan someday, LOL.

JJ, they frequently change the web address too. Weird.

MTE Financial Services is also d/b/a Paychecktoday.com!!!!!
I knew that name sounded familiary!!!!

I wonder if I should try one of Polly's famous letters!!!!! See if they'll give me a refund on my $1000 overpayment!!

Hey it's worth a try. I would at least send it and see what happens if I were you. Good luck! :D

Worst they can say is no! Give it a try.

stella,

they better not show up at my door. I'll sick my doggie on them.

I wouldn't even need my dog, I'd just go super ninja on them and get them myself...lol

Found this to be very interesting while closing my complaint against Rio Resources.

The thing I am finding amazing is the addtional numbers listed above, one of them is the phone number that was given in the response to the attorney general of tn. 800-354-0602. Is that weird or is it just me?

Way to go Tammi!!Gives the rest of us guts to go for what is fair. :wink:

and according to the state of oklahoma rio resources and MTE Financial are not registered corporations in the state of oklahoma. additionally, the person I am emailing about my refund (who by teh way is very polite and professional) keeps referring to having to contact the lender.... This gives me thought that what we have here is a web/servicing company that works for a variety of lenders, likely handling all the money disburement collections etc.. but not the actual entity lending the money. either that or we haev one source of cash with multiple fronts(shells) man I would love to see a lawsuit with some subpoeana's to really see the parer trail.

Wow, this is an awesome find Tammy. You go girl :-)

Tammy and jj,

hmmm that is some very interesting information. Yes, that would be very very nice to find out exactly WHO is funding the money, how many names they are operating under.

I think United is the one the state of Virginia's AG is looking into. I think they smell something super fishy there too, that Purex with Febreze won't be able to get out lol.

edited because I forgot to add, I knew that United Cash Loans and One Click were the same company, but until today I didn't realize they are part of the super-dreaded Rio Resources.

I sent a letter to United about a week ago and haven't heard from them. Anyone else hear from them?

Fill their email and fax machine everyday. They have a tendency of ignoring emails and faxes.

About to really start threatening them...Maybe I should send them a copy of my deposition????

I look at it this way, they can call and harass us as much as they want, right? So why don't we give them a taste of their own medicine and jam their system with our letters letting them know we are all aware of what htey are and they will not get away with it.

The address that Tammy gave was to Four Tribes Core Management or MODOC Smokshop. So I dont think that is a ligitimate address. Can someone else confirm this.

I also sent my (hubby's) letter last week and haven't heard anything either!! :(

Jessica,

That is the address that was on the refund check from Rio Resources and the return address. These companies are known for using false addresses. That is also the address the bbb gives.

may not be a fake addy, but you could have multiple companies using a single address, not uncommon in this day of shared office spaces etc.. I did a little checking and MTE is the owner of the account (which is a US Bank account) on their refund checks.. It was not possible to legally get anymore information than that, it would take a subpoena to get more detailed info and the account owners.. either way since MTE does not appear to be licensed in Oklahoma as a payday lender, they are illegal their too, so me thinks just about anyone with a valid claim can get some money back.

pollyandsay--so if I am due a refund according to my state laws from RIO which addr should the info be mailed? Or, did you fax your info to the pdl companies? I can only fax from work & didn't want them to start faxing info there from the fax# they would get from the copy.

You can also email the letter to them. I emailed, faxed and sent the letter certified mail. I got the letter back as refused, but they did finally acknowledge the email and sent me my refund. If you need their email address I can pm it to you.

Tammy that would be great. I will pm you to remind you as well! Thks.

Igall,

I pm'd you the email address

Whoa-talk about fortunate mistakes! I filled out an online application for United Cash Loans but it did not go through. I decided to research things a little more before resubmitting which brought me here. After reading the posts, there is NO WAY I will do business with these people. Thanks guys! :wink:

I have been reading all the comments regarding this company. I have had money deducted from my account two times to the amount of $235.00. Is there any way to get my money back?
