They aren't licensed to loan to Ohio residents, all you owe them
They aren't licensed to loan to Ohio residents, all you owe them is the principal amount you borrowed, deduct what you have already paid them from the $200.00, send them payments with money orders through USPS only, certified return receipt mail. Inform them this is what you have decided to do, and you will need a physical address to send payments, no address, no payments. :D
Whoa, hold on a minute, that letters sounds like a debt collecto
Whoa, hold on a minute, that letters sounds like a debt collector? Ahhhhhhhhh, send them a validation letter, via email and USPS certified return receipt! What the heck is their deal anyway???!!! Is this in house collections or what? :o

Wahoooo!! They claim to be debt collectors! :shock: Definitely send them a validation letter, make them validate the debt and prove how they computed the interest !!

Basically, what this is, is a dispute in response to the email they sent to you, they are the ones that included the little paragraph about "This communication is from a debt collector", sooooooooo, how else can a person take it other than what they have said? My point here is, if they care to indentify them self as a "Debt Collector", then I would treat them as one. What baffles me is the fact that they are using the same address as the Original Creditor (Impact Cash), so they kinda asked for this. :D Anyway, this is how I would handle it, it seems they're playing some games with you, trying to get more than they are entitled to receiving. :wink:
