I received the following email from 1st Credit of America regarding a loan I have with Check N GO. First of the amount I borrowed was only $300 and they almost tripled the amount that I owe them. Has anyone ever gotten this kind of email or has dealt with Check N GO?

I dealt with Check and Go and they used a different agency but as I recall they were a little heavy handed. first of all, does your state license payday lenders? if so what does it say about fees? also, you are entitled to a detailed explanation of the fees charged over and above your principal balance. Also does your state license collection agencies? if so does the cA have a license to collect in your state?

I apologize if I have overwhelmed you with Questions, let me know what state your in and I will try and look up some of the info for you.

It sounds like it, but as I understand texas law and I don't very well, they can't garnish, so there is no point in sueing, so they will likelt just try and slam your credit... So make sure u send them the letter disputing the amount owed and requesting that they detail completely all the charges they say you own. If they report to your credit after they receive the dispute and before it is resolved, they will be violating the law, if you see such reporting send a letter to the cra explaingin the dispute. If and when you receive a response from the CA, determine what it is that you feel you legally owe and send them a letter outlining whatever payment plan you can afford. again if they hit your credit report and have not agreed to the plan, dispute it again with the CRA stating that you are disputing the amount owed and they are not cooperating. Hope this helps
