Is Check 'n Go registered as CSO in Texas?
Date: Fri, 11/14/2008 - 15:01
I searched the Texas CSO registration website and I looked up Check 'n Go and Southern Specialty Finance (listed as the CSO on my paperwork) in various ways, and I don't see them. Does this mean that they're not registered in Texas??
Does this mean that they're not operating business legally?
Thanks for your help on this.
Attorney General Website For CSO Search
You can go to the Attorney General website and do a search. Look at the documents you signed if this is stemming from them and see what company name are they operating from.
They may or may not be registered. If they are, it'd be either with the Secretary of State's office or the banking and finance division. Only way they'd be on the AG's site is if they're being investigated/sued for something. - Uncle Wulf

What should I say if I call them...."can you tell me if you're legally registered as a CSO in Texas?" I'm not really sure how to approach this.
I truly appreciate all of the advice. I hope I don't come across as ungrateful. I am so confused about all of this.

No no, I mean call the CSO registration website, surely there must be a contact phone number there, if not, try calling Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner-(512) 936-7600.

It doesn't matter if the company is registered in the state you live in. It only matters if they're licensed in the state that they operate in.

This is incorrect information, it depends on the individual state you are located in.

Oh, goodness. I feel like such an idiot. I looked at my paperwork again and see now that the CSO name is SouthWESTern & Pacific Specialty Finance, and that one is registered in Texas. For some reason, on the CSO disclosure statement, it lists "Southern Specialty Finance" and the local address, but everywhere else in the agreement is the real CSO name. (too weird!)
I'm such a ditz. :oops:
Hopefully others can learn from me & be extra careful when you're ready to accuse someone of operating illegally.
