Have you contacted your bank? Speak to them and see what they suggest. Perhaps you have to close the account or put a stop.

Does anyone have any idea why credit is stealing money out of my account? Someone please give me some sort of explanation. Because this doesn't make any sence to me. I now have over draft fees that are causing me not to be able to pay bills that i need to pay.

this company is down with the scam yall watch you information they tried to go into my account and take out 300.00 but i blocked it and changed all my account number MTE financial is a cover up.dont be scamed reported to Attorney Generals Office.

Hi Bridget,

You need to contact the company that is debiting your account. Tell us the name of the company so that we can give you their contact details.

The number 804-687-3959 is not the correct number for this company. I will do all that I can to help you as well as myself. I think that the company is Faxless Payday Loans and they gave me 300.00 but have only started taking money from me. I am going to watch to see how much money they take. The fee is 30.00 per every 100.00 but I did not sign a contract or anything with them. If you go to the website there is no way of getting in contact with them.

I was successful in getting feedback (and a refund) from Rio by communication to them at compliancedepartment[at]rioresourcesllc.com

me too jj. Amazing how the companies are cracking now. Hey pdl's we are on to you.

They got me too (reo). They (recorded message) said something about not paying of the full balance accured interest...so I selected the pay amount in full option for a scheduled date...VERY TRICKY LOAN INSTITUTE. GOOD LUCK

Hi SEGAFFI

You should have requested Rio to send the itemized statement before making the payment. Now that you have done so, your main concern should be to see if the amount has been posted into your account. You won't like to be contacted by some other company asking for the payment on the same account. Have in writing from Rio Resources acknowledging the payment done towards the loan account.

I searched on the internet for a loan and received a call from these folks at work. I told them I was not interested in a loan at that time and boom, $200 was put in my account and then the fees started rolling out. I stop putting money in my account and changed accounts. I will contact them immediately now that I know how to reach them by reading all these postings.

why are they taking money out of my account what is it for need a reply tonight

who are they? they have debited 35.00 from my checking.

Dispute with your bank on the debits made by Rio Resources. I hope your bank will be able to refund the money back.

I had a pay day loan from Ten Dollar pay day loan which is Rio Resources. I paid them off, and I noticed they were taking $30.00 out of my checking account every 2 days. The phone number is 1-866-465-5054 I called them, and they denied taking the money out. If it continues I will go to my bank file a complaint, close my account, and my bank said I will get the money back. You all should do the same.

Char,
Why wait for it to continue? Do it NOW. They already took unauthorized funds from your account, right? This is an ongoing thing with these clowns, and you don't need them to take your hard-earned money that you don't owe them, whether it's $30 or $3000.

i believe this company needs to be turned over to the better buisness bureau and they should have to pay back all the money they have taken from the people that trusts in the world

these people have taken 900.00 dollars out of my account and i want it back so if anyone can get ahold of these people please leave #'s to get ahold of them for the rest of the people to get their money back thanks

Hi Tina,

Call Rio Resources at 804-687-3959 and inquire about the withdrawals made in your checking account. You must get the debits verified in writing. If the company is unwilling to give you any info, place a dispute with the help of your bank. They might be able to refund you the money back as the purpose seems to be unknown.

Have your correspondence in writing with Rio. You must have proof of all your documentation for legal use.

I have the same issue with rio resources. They have deducted more than what was quoted when I applied for the pay day loan. Contact your bank and put a stop payment on the account. There is also a Penalty of Perjury form that can be obtained from your bank to help investigate. Contact the Better Business Bureau

I found this blog by googling RIO resources, because I just found a $140 debit in my account! Calling the attorney general.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE - OTHERS (PayDayOK, Cash Central, etc) are OK - read "Rip-Off Report" before anything - I was able to get my money back that was wrongly debited & to "jrocks", we don't mind paying back what we borrow, but when we have loan approved & no money is deposited THEN they take it out anyway, then we SCREAM!!!

I have lost a total of $200 I contacted my bank and gotten all but $80 back I am closing my Account and switching banks Because they have my Social and the bank said there isn't much else they can do. I tried calling them at 866-465-5054 and when I would not give them my social to identify mysdelf they hung up on me and said i was being refered to a collection agency.

You are not authorized to tske any money out of my bank account. Cease and decist or face a lawsuit and criminal charges. You were only authorized to debit the full amount on the following first of the month after your loan to me. Twice I have called and authorized the payment in full. You have now taken hundreds and hundreds more then ever agreed upon.

Personal info removed for your safety - Mike

Ralph, you might be having issues with Rio Resources. You have maxed them with this company. Call 804-687-3959 and inquire about your account.

This is who this Immoral company is. I made a recorded conversation with them today. They admitted to not having a inbound published phone number to let customers contact them over disputes. Also, when I started the loan they called me and I told the girl I understood the terms of the loan and that they would have the repayment of the loan in 30 days and and that was that, the girl said yes. I spoke to them today and she said that was not possible that they go by a script. I said I interrupted the girl because I was going into a meeting when she called. Then the woman said that the terms of the loan state that I would have had to electronically go online and pay the loan off by selecting terms of the loan. I told her I told the woman on the phone after she asked me if I understood the terms of the loan I said yes, they would debit my account for the balance due in 30 days. She said yes. That was the end of the conversation. This was supposed to be a $300 loan that would cost me $30.00. It has ended up costing me $915.00. I hope more people can read this do not use TEN DOLLAR PAY DAY LOANS. I will post a page on my website in reference to this and register it with every search engine I can so that when the pay day loans come up this should pop up.

We would like to know anything anyone can tell us about Rio Resources Rio Debit. Thay have taken us for a total of $795.00 and we are at our wits end. We made a compaint to the Attorney General and suggest everyone that they have ripped off to do the same.

8o.oo$ gone from my checking account to RIO Both numbers listed do not work. How do I get ahold of these people?

try this compliance @ rioresourcesllc.com

Here is the phone number I have.
800-354-0602
866-213-0268

Here is a fax number.
866-668-0535

Go w/ e-ml addr jj has posted. That is how I recd my refund from them.

Good Luck...They overnighted my refund...Actually, I recd it the same day they SAID they overnighted. I was shocked. I think they are catching on to the fact that everyone is figuring out they are TOTAL scammers.

Sharron, one more thing, did you contact your bank to see if they could stop any debits from them?

I email and faxed them the letter and got my refund within 3 days.

i dont know who you are and you do not have the right to touch my account with out my say so i now have a negative account they took 60.00 out and i want it put back in it looks like alot of people you have took from and that is not right at all to do to anyone you people do have bills to pay thiefs like u should not be allow to do this

Call Rio Resources at 804 687 3959 and get the matter fixed. This is a forum discussing debt related issues. It is not affiliated with Rio Resources. You need to contact them directly and address your issue.

Earlier this week someone called and asked me if I was going to renew, pay down,or pay off my loan and I told them I wa going to renew but y'all took out more the the renewal charge. Why was this done?

I am having 90.00 dollars a mouth taken from my account and dont even know when i gave them my checking acct number or auth. i have talked to my bank and they are handling it and i have talked to my family's lawyer and if the take any more i am sueing them.

I have loan with them and have been paying down the debt. but the interest rate is still the same.
I called them and they claim the did get in funds from my account. (when I calculate it I don't owe them anything

In the end i contacted my bank and they are taking care of this for me.My money will be back in my account in a few days.

I sugest the rest of you do the same!

I just looked at my account and rio resources has taken money out of my account....every 1st and 15th and i did not authorize this at all....someone help me please...

Marcie, call Rio Resources at 804 687 3959 and inquire about the debits done in your account. If possible, involve your bank to deal with this situation. Tell them to block the payer code of the company so that no further debits can be done. If nothing works, close your account.

Try contacting Rio Resources at 866-859-6129. They are affiliated with TenDollar Payday and charge 10% on your first renew, but 730% there after. They allow 4 renews and then an additional $50 and fees until the loan is paid off. I am sure this interest rate is illegal in most state.

Anyone concerned about Rio Resources, United Cash Loans, or any other unscrupulous lender who is ripping people off, can file a Internet fraud report with the FBI at www.ic3.gov.
The phone numbers given for Rio Resources in the strings I have read have not helped thus far; the one with the 804 area code is incorrect, and the 604 area code first number may be a legitimate number, but the last 604 area code number is is a fax line.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Folks,
Yes, MTE Financial does business as (dba) Rio Resources. UnforThey can be reached at 866*539*7504, as I just spoke to their respresentative, Sabrina (Collins?),who is allegedly mailing my original loan papers to me.
I had gotten a $300 loan at tendollarpaydayloan.com; however, there was no reference to MTE Financial or Rio Resources (unless it is somewhere in the small print of the contract). Sabrina stated that they (MTE Financial) are the loan providers, not tendollarpayday.com.
I still have to deal with another company who will not respond to my inquirteis, but continues to debit monies from my account, " United Cash Loans."
Can anyone provide contact informatin onthis company.
Thanks a lot. this is a great forum.
-Jeanneom

Sorry folks, I took bdouble's advice and called the 866-859-6129 number and spoke with Sabrina, then later a woman named Christine. They may have even been the same person. If you call 866-539-7504 you will only get the robotic answering system for MTE/Rio Resources.

Hey guys, I can't remember if I have posted this before already,,,but I recd a refund from Rio & ameriloan & both chks were from MTE Financial Services...didn't know if this would help anyone out.
I think they have several different names!

:x Supposedly, i took out a loan with ten dollar loans online. They say they collect through this name (Rio resources). I need to check all my bank statements as i don't remember borrowing from them. I borrowed from payday o.k and i am paid up w/them. I e-mailed them through tendollarloancom. I think they are ripoffs-so b careful.

I took out a loan with tendollarpaydayloan.com. And let me tell you the company itself is a disaster. I tried the number that they list in my documents and I only get an automated machine. I went as far as to dial '0' and then get hung up on. Today I ran into this website and I tried the numbers listed on here. Just so everyone knows the 804 number is not valid. The 1866.859.6129 number is valid and will give you a live person.

I took a $300 loan from this company and $30 was supposed to be charged as the inital fee. After 4 renewals I was to be charged something else. I still have no clue what the amount is since it seems to fluctuate. I don't have any idea how this company works, but its a complete disaster. At first they took 75 then 90...last week it was 140 and now its going to be 110. Sorry, but this company is run by a bunch of morons that rip out people who need money fast.

My advice stay completely away from Pay Day Loans unless you are completely sure you will pay off the entire amound when you get paid. Or you will end up paying through the nose.

I wrote to the AG of my state and a lawyer as well. It took me hours to find "MTE" but I found them. Interesting, I filed for bankruptcy and listed them, and I e-mailed them repeatedly. They don't answer (Plz give us 24 hrs - yeah right!)I believe they can run but they can't hide from the law. I am going to fax them my docs from the court at an alternate, working fax number they gave me. If they have the audacity violate a court order and still debit my account while an automatic stay is in effect, I will promptly contact the judge directly. Unbelievable! By the way, I was unable to list "NLS Payday Loan Debits 12" on my bankruptcy sheet because I cannot locate their address, phone, or fax number!! Guys, Gals - we are onto something here...the payday loan companies are using multiple aliases to throw off customers who need to contact them, and in my case serve them - with legal papers! Because I cannot locate them, the court cannot serve them. Additionally, as we know they more often than not omit their fax and phone numbers. They simply advise you to "contact them" via e-mail. Then, they more often than not refuse to answer you anyway. SO - These companies will not be able to writhe themselves out of allegations that these maneuvers are deliberate, because AG's and District Attorneys will clearly, unmistakably see a long, very long pattern...criminal pattern I believe. You and I know that these companies are deliberately hiding with numerous aliases and omitted contact information to throw off customers ... this is CRIMINAL!!!! Please forward this blog to any and all legal authorities you know of who will take action. Together we can stop these shameful individuals from preying on the poor and disabled. In closing, I was hospitalized in intensive care and made the mistake of getting involved with these vultures because I fell deep into credit card debt. Soon I was borrowing from one to pay the other - just as research shows. I have 2 young children ages 3 and 7 and was left with 5 dollars, then 2 dollars, than $0 dollars for approximately 10 days while these vultures wreaked havoc on my already desperate financial situation. I believe that all of us must hold our elected officials accountable when they fail to do something about this epidemic! It is absolutely unconscionable that theses payday loan companies can so easily circumvent and violate state laws that protect us by operating from out of state banks or foreign countries! Please again folks, copy and paste my message. All it takes is a minute of your time, then send it all over the web to your respective elected officials. I read with satisfaction how AG Spitzer from New York shut these vultures down and courageously indicated that no form of loan sharking will be tolerated in New York...Bravo! We are halfway there. Let's stand together. Despite the payday vultures many clauses which indicate that our states have no jurisdiction with regard to our loans, they are absolutely NOT shielded from U.S. Federal laws and/or legal authorities who have the power to shut them down for good. I myself, facing potentially life threatening illness am disgusted that I was and continue to be so mercilessly preyed on by these vultures, jeopardizing the welfare of myself, spouse and two young kids and would like to see some of these payday vulture people thrown in jail for I believe fraud and in many cases thinly veiled extortion!

Friends and fellow victims - I feel and believe that I am not at liberty to discuss this, but I believe that the long arm of the law will be catching up with alot of disreputable people, sooner than many of us realize!
