I have two payday loans and live in NY. from reading the forums it seems as if these companies might be practicing illegally in my state. i currently have 500fastcash and unitedcashloans. I took out a loan for 450 with united, i've paid 300 so far, but they have my pay off listed as 750. 500fast was for 350 and just started paying them. should i be sending the letters to them and closing my account? I'm paying almost 500 every 2 weeks to both companies and i'm at a loss.
