Plain Green settlement
Date: Sat, 11/03/2012 - 10:54
I have been trying to sign up to the forum but am having trouble. Anyway I sent PGL a letter and here it is Dear Plain Green Loans,
It has come to my attention that payday loans are prohibited in my
state of Massachusetts. Therefore, the loan contract that I have with
you, according to my state???s laws, is not enforceable. Although I am
not required to do so, I am willing to repay the principal balance of
the loan. To date, I have received 1400.00 on 9/5/2012. and have made
2???renewal??? payments. One for 145.00 on 9/24/2012 and one for 140.46 on
10/5/2012 leaving a principal balance of 1,114.54 I am willing to
repay the 1,114.54 balance via credit card in 10 monthly installments
of 100.00 each and 1 final installment of 114.54 on 12/4/12 and every
month on the fourth until paid in full on 11/4/2013.
At this time I am revoking ACH authorization. You are no longer
authorized to withdraw payments from my checking account. I am also
revoking any wage assignment I may have signed. I have given a copy of
these revocations to both my bank and my employer. Any future attempts
to collect funds in this manner will be blocked.
Please contact me to set up payment arrangements as outlined above.
Thank You,
Heather

I am not a member of your tribe and I have never visited your reservation. I am not subject to your laws. Period. The laws of my state prevail and as such, the contract I signed is null and void as you are charging a usury rate of interest. I will pay back principal ONLY...not a penny more. I will also only communicate via email only.
