Americash Checkbook loan Help
Date: Sat, 07/26/2008 - 08:53
While I was at work on June 25 my HR department called and down and told me that they had recevied a notice of Wage assignment from them. I couldn't believe that after I had just spoke to them the week before and they never told me that I was at that point yet. My employer told me they were not going to honor this and since I have been in contact with Americash just to see if I can work something out with them. I went into a store a made a payment of $144 (that was all that I could afford). I didn't ask any questions about it when I was at the store.
When I got home I saw they had mailed the same letter to me that my employer had. It is a notice of intent to assign wages and at the bottom there is a Affidavit of Defense. It says that if I was to prevent my wages from being assigned I was fill it out and send it back by registered or certified mail and give a copy to my employer within 20 days.
I am not sure what to do at this point. I guess I will send them the Affidavit of Denfense back. But, the last sentence says...
"In the event a false defense is made, you will be subject to payment of attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenese."
What does that mean...what would make it deemed as false?
I have already made aprox. 12 payments of $230 a total of $2760.00 plus the three payments I made for $117. Which would bring my grand total to aprox. $3111.00 I've paid to Americash for a $1800 loan. Is there anyway I can get out of this??? PLEASE HELP!! :cry:
Americash Checkbook loan Help
I am in the same situation. I've had 3 loans with them. The first to out the loan in 2007 and since then have refinanced twice.The only difference is that I had funds available to pay but I was switching accounts. I went to the store and notified them a week prior to them taking a payment, tried to provide my new account info.They wouldn't take it . Said that I had to have a letter from bank showing account was closed. Even after I explained to them that I was starting a new job and had the opportunity to get a new account with my job with better benefits and that there were no funds in account and that my payroll willl be going to my new account.they tried to debit 3 times and finally sent me a notice to assign my wages. I contacted them and tried to pay loan of but now there are fees added and they expect me to pay them.No option to settle. Im working to rectify the situation.The best advice I have is to consult a finance attorney to see what rights you have and what rights Americash has to collect the debt
