I am in Illinois and have a 450.00 pd loan at CashDirect express that I have not paid due to my account being closed prior to the first payment being made. After reading all the great advice here, it is probably for the best it happened that way. I am now getting calls from their collection agency, MG recovery, in Utah. I can send them $100 this week, but that will be it for a few weeks. Does anyone know if this company is legal in Illinois? I want to pay what I owe, but it may take some time....
