On June 15th I borrowed $50.00 from a friend to pay on a payday loan, I was threatened with jail time so I paid them something to get them off my back. Well a month later the company used my friends debit card and charged $300.00 without his permission, when he called them they told him I owed them money for 3 bad checks, he told them to put that money back in his account, he does not owe that money and not his problem.
Can he sue that company?
The company is an unknown company, on his bank statement it said atlas mediation, well I could not find anything on them. The number is 877 333 0713.
The payday loan company is power funding inc.

well a couple of things.

1)never pay anyone without something in writing first.threats of jail are illegal.
2)never give yours,or anyone else's bank or cc info over the phone.money order only.
3)power funding isn't licensed period,and you probably if you go over your old bank info owe them nothing as any debits for so-called interest go towards that.
4)being as this was an illegal loan,and what the mutated slime did to your friends account he will have to as SOAPLADY advised have the money returned as unauthorized,but he will have to close that account,and open a new one as this place will go under different amounts,co names,even put through a paper check.

to summarize never give in to threats over the phone they are illegal,and you never should have given them anything but a hang up.i hope you learned something from this.
