In 7/3/2007 I took out a loan with Apple Fast Cash. The loan amount was for 300 I made 6 payments. The payment amounts varied

1-61.14
2-67.20
3-92.20
4-81.20
5-79.90
6-71.91
Only a very small percentage went towards principal which the company has yet to provide me with a statement to explain in detail. I tried to make payment arrangements to get my account settled and they declined so I closed my checking in October of 2007. They referred me to a collection agency and stated that my balance was $706.37. I have been going rounds with National Credit Adjusters, PO Box 327 W 4th Street, Hutchinson KS 67504 since I am obviously disputing the dollar amount. NCA has since referred my account to a law office who is claiming to file a judgement against if I dont make payment arrangements with NCA within 30 days. Again no debt validation letter and now the law office says I owe 937.00. What to do? I see that it is illegal in Kansas which is where the collection agency and law office are located.


Hello, and welcome to the forum. First off do not send ANY payment to them unless they send you a debt validation letter. What state are you in? Is Apple Fast Cash legal in your state? Because if they are not, this company probably is collecting on an ILLEGAL debt anywayz, and furthermore a VALID 3rd party collector would send you a actual debt validation letter. It would have original account held with the PDL and payment history.

NCA is a nasty company, read about them here. Would you please explain what you mean when you say "no debt validation letter"? As that is something the debtor (you in this case) is suppose to send to the Collection Agency in an attempt to obtain proof that you owe this debt. It doesn't matter whether you KNOW this is your debt or not, the point here is, it is your right to obtain documentation from these people that they either the right to collect this debt, or they OWN this debt. What they SHOULD send you in return, AFTER you have requested validation is:


Did you send this company a validation letter?

I live in MN the payday loan company is in Delaware and the collection agency is in Kansas. The payday company violated DE laws by allowing 6 rollovers. Yes I filed a BBB complaint in Delaware against the company and a BBB complain in Kansas against the collection agency. IN my complaint I asked for licensure proof/debt validation letter. What to do now?

So to clarify you sent this collection company a debt validation request letter? If you have then hold tight on their reply. Also, if your state laws does not permit rollovers then you are done with APPLE FAST CASH. Wait for that debt validation letter from the collection agency to be returned, IF they send you one. These charges seem a lil bit ridiculous to me. Best of luck!!

Now with that statute in mind they had increased it by $406.37 when it was sent to collections and then an additional $230.63 when it was sent to an attorney based on the original balance with a total of $453.55 in credits. Your looking at 463.51% interest which clearly exceeds state usury laws.

I would say based on this information you should file complaints with your state Attorney General's office.

Also there are a couple of possible fdcpa violations. If the balance increases are due to collection fees I believe that it would fall outside of the term of "acceptable fees" depending on the courts decision. Also the law firm was in direct violation of the FDCPA by trying to pressure you into acting before your right to request validation within the first 30 days, this is known as overshadowing.

Also just for arguments sake and in case MN is one of those funky states where the lenders home state laws only apply for lenders I'll post DE information on PDLs

Delaware State Information


I would also like to point out that either way they violated either states usury laws for roll overs.
