Here is a stunning revelation! While researching a couple of internet payday lenders on BBB website, I found that at least 8 companies were found at the same location, each apparently run by the Miami/Modoc Nation Indian Tribe. All are apparently illegal, as they are not licensed in OK.

I finally had my PDL's under control - knocked out a few of the illegal guys (I'm in CA) thank to the tips on this forum. I have 3 left and will have them paid/gone in the next month. What I didn't do - and regret - is closing my bank account. Today I logged on to see my account and there's a pending transaction for $750. My bank said the only info they have, until it clears tomorrow, is that it's from "CCS" and is described as a loan payment. There is no phone number listed.

[COLOR=black]ACE Cash Services' phone number is (866) 840-2030. I have called this number, and spoken to someone, so I know it works. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Their FAX number is (866) 840-0270.

I am a newby here and have found all the advice invaluable!

Can a collection agency leave this message on your answering machine: "This is John Smith from CBCS Collections, this is an attempt to collect a debt. Please call and then the phone number. Is this allowed?
