Divorce & Identity Fraud

18 years 6 months ago
My husband had an affair immediately following building a new home. Within 6 months the truth was out and my life became a living nightmare. The girlfriend took personal/financial documents from his apartment, scanned them and stole my identity. She purchased an expensive car and tried to insurance it on our insurance policy which is how I found out. Even with the conviction and 5 yrs probation she got it was not worth the paper it was written on. I juggled the new home for 3 yrs before getting someone else in there to make the payments.

Hey guys and gals, yesterday a familiar face came in looking for a job. It was the lady from the Advance America office. Seems they are laying off, anyway we are helping her find another job. She said the Pa Department of Banking won their suit against this lender, so I went and found it. Check this out. Would be nice if they would reimburse. (http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=93783) This is awesome, she said her manager is only working part time and they are laying alot off.

 

My 1st Settlement offer! Maybe?

18 years 6 months ago
For anyone following my blog on DIY settlement, here's my 1st major update? I spoke with one of the relentless creditors today that called me, it's for a larger debt 17K. I am about 4-5 months behind on this account. I told them I couldn’t make the payments and said I might be able to only settle, so they said they could help me with that. I offered 40% of the original balance, the lady offered me 60% and it would have to be paid in three months. Then I got disconnected!!

I have several (six to be exact) pay day loans - all from the internet. I have been researching (on this site) what to do. I am already planning to close my bank account later this week and write letters revoking the ach and any wage assignments that I may have signed. I live in South Carolina and do not know what the laws are for my state. Please help!

 

You have no idea....

... how grateful I am. I found this site months ago when looking for help with my payday loans. I had 9 payday loans 7 of which were storefront loans!! I had been stuck in this cycle for about 2 years and I have paid over $15,000 in payday loan fees. I couldn't keep up with it anymore. Working two jobs wasn't enough. I tried several debt consolidation companies and they said they couldn't help me. I was at a loss as to what to do. Then I found this website. The information I received here empowered me to take my life back.

 

New and fell into the PDL trap!

18 years 6 months ago
Hi! I am new, just found this site and am avidly reading everything I can. I am in Texas and have a single payday loan with EZmoney. This is actually the second pdl I have had with them. The original amount was for $600.00 My finance charge was almost exactly at 41% a month, I slowly made small payments over the finance charge, and each new finance charge was at 41% of the new balance. I am now down to $300.00 but have defaulted. I had a bunch of stuff going on and forgot to go in and make the payment, but called the next morning to say I would be in…too late!

 

Need help on pdls in Ohio

18 years 6 months ago
I have 3 separate pdl's out totaling $1200 - CheckSmart, Express Payroll Advance and Nat'l Check Cashers. I stopped payment on the checks before they were due to be cashed when it became clear to me that they would not work a payment plan with me. I've also closed my checking account. After stopping the checks, I sent them each a letter stating (again) that I was currently unable to pay the debt in full at this time, that I intended to pay my debt in full but with regular payments. I;ve since sent all three of them payments of $25 each within a month's time frame.

what should i look for in a debt settlement company?

18 years 6 months ago
I have 37,ooo in debt. I've already set up a payment arrangement with the 3 credit card companies that have lowered the interest to 3-0% . They will be paid off within 5 years. Is this good, or can I do better? I might need to try the debt settlement process as now I can't pay my mortgage very well. I am often late with those payments.
