hey guys been away a while, need help again!!!

There should be a mini miranda warning on that letter you received, so, you need to send them a debt validation letter certified, return receipt requested. You can get a sample letter at the link below.

Make sure you send this debt validation request out within 30 days of the date on the letter of collection you received. You might also want to include in the letter that Eastside Lenders is not licensed to issue payday loans to your state residents, and enclose a copy of your payday loan laws.

I can guarantee that the collection agency will NOT validate the loan. Do what Shazzers suggested and include copy of your state PDL regs. That's what I did last year. Never heard from them again until last month when they sent me a letter "offering to settle" the debt. I totally ignored it.

Valerie,

Listen to the sound advise you've received on this forum and everything will be OK. Just not ignore the collection letter.

Val, I responded to your PM and am in agreement with the advice you're getting here. Eastside is the slimiest bunch out there, in my opinion.
