After doing research on internet payday loan laws in the state of YOUR STATE' S NAME, I have found that your internet payday loans are actually illegal. I have also found the following laws to be true applying to payday loans in the state of YOUR STATE'S NAME in general:
INSERT STATE LAWS
After finding out that your internet payday loans are illegal, your company should actually not issue loans to YOUR STATE residents at all.
I have contacted the YOUR STATE Office of Financial Institutions and the YOUR STATE State Attorney General????????s Office regarding your internet payday loans and was informed they are indeed illegal in YOUR STATE and was advised to pay what is due according to principle amount only of the loan.
I have currently paid XXXX DOLLARS on my XXXX DOLLARS loan. The legal amount that could have been charged to my loan is the principal amount of XXX DOLLARS even if your internet pay day loan was legal in YOUR STATES NAME. I have paid XXXX DOLLARS on this loan by your debits of my bank account and only owe XXXX DOLLARS to have this paid in full. I am willing to pay the amount of XXX DOLLARS to pay the principle amount of the loan only, as advised by my Department of Financial Institutions and my state Attorney General's office.
I demand that any contact be made through US Postal mail or email only. I will need everything in writing to keep accurate records of all communication as per instruction from my state Attorney General's Office.
I prohibit you or your affiliates to contact me via telephone at my place of employment or my home telephone number. I also prohibit you from calling my references listed on my loan. Once I inform you of this, you must stop the telephone contact immediately or you will be once again breaking the laws of the state of YOUR STATE.
You are also hereby notified that I am revoking any voluntary wage assignment I may or may not have signed. I no longer authorize you, your company, or your affiliates to attach any part of my wages or contact my employer for your collection purposes.
I am revoking your right to debit my checking account any longer. You, your company, or your affiliates are not authorized to debit my checking account at all. Please be aware that I have informed my financial institution of this situation and they will also be receiving a copy of this correspondence. Any further attempts at debiting my account will be rejected by my financial institution.
I must also inform you that I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and my state Attorney General's Office.
I expect a response from your company no later than XX DATE, regarding this matter. This response may only come via US Postal mail or email. No telephone contact is permitted.
Please respond by XX DATE, regarding this matter by US Postal mail or by email only.
Once they have failed to get the wage assignment they will email
Once they have failed to get the wage assignment they will email you a settlement offer of about 40 percent. If you accept it they will leave! If not they will call until they give up and probably sell it to a third party. I would not write them anything. There is nothing they can do to you. They are an illegal operation!
Thanks. Im going to call the Attorney Generals office and the C
Thanks. Im going to call the Attorney Generals office and the Commissioner of Finance Today and see what they can help me with.
When the receptionist answered the phone yesterday and was asking, what are you calling in regards to she yelled at her and said give me your supervisor , LOL.

Arbenton, I'm in MD as well, and I'd definitely recommend calling the Commissioner of Financial Regulation office; they've been of great help to me and have even taken some of the "paperwork" off my shoulders! Good luck.
Pachacutec - I need to speak with you in private . Why dont you
Pachacutec - I need to speak with you in private .

Or if not, can you tell me who you worked with directly? or how to get started, I got email correspondence that said file a complaint, and I tried to call them today, to no avail.
Thanks!
I've tried and for some reason I'm not being allowed to sign up.
I've tried and for some reason I'm not being allowed to sign up. Oh well. the number I called in Maryland is the one listed on this website, 410 230 6100 and tell them you want help w/ Payday loans. Based on my experience, they'll probably want copies of any contracts you've signed with PDL's and copies of e-mails and other correspondence w/ PDL's. Then I closed my checking account (per instructions on this site); as you say, the stalking begins; what I do is I keep a log each week of any calls/emails I receive from the PDL's and forward them to the State Commissioner of Financial Regulation office; whoever is working w/ you will probably give you an e-mail address and fax number. If I get a call from a PDL, I note the time, the date, and what they say. Unless the call is unusual or I have a question about it, I just forward my "log" once a week. The people w/ the State of MD are familiar w/ many of the PDLs and have done some of the paperwork as far as contacting the collection agencies, etc.

Pachacutec, I'm not sure why you aren't able to sign up, perhaps one of the Mods will see this and send a PM to the Admin. It would be great if you could sign up and become a part of our community. :)

OK, let's see if I'm "formally" signed in (the poster formerly known as Pachacutec!!). I don't have the expertise of the moderators and others here, but if I could even give a small bit of assistance to others to repay the LARGE amount of help I've gotten here, it would be great.
