Cash Banc/Impact Cash/Little Loan Shoppe-help please
Date: Sat, 10/18/2008 - 07:33
Hi, I have several payday loans....
I borrowed $500 from Cash Banc and have paid a total of $570, when I looked on their site it said my payoff was $700+
I borrowed $300 from Impact and have paid them $416
I borrowed $300 for Little Loan Shoppe and have paid them $380
Are these legal in Missouri? I can't close my checking acct-closed checking accts are reason for prosecution in Missouri with payday loans. I do have a block on it as of yesterday.
Any advice is appreciated

if you are unable to close your account, go into your bank and ask to speak with the Branch Manager, tell him/her you need a hard debit block placed on your account immediately! Explain that you are revoking ACH authorizations from unlicensed/illegal companies, and have learned these companies are notorious for ignoring revocation, therefore it is important to BLOCK any withdrawal attempts on your account to protect your interest. This is your privilege, do not accept no for an answer. |
