First, thank you for this website :)
I sent my ACH revoke letters out, closed my account, so far so good.
Regarding the legal lenders (I have 4) for example GoCash.com. I live in Texas and took out a $400 loan back on 9/23/11. To date I have paid $2400, and they're telling me my balance is $277 to pay the loan off. GoCash is considered a CAB (another name for CSO in Texas).
