I have to look at my statements to see how much i paid but most i have been paying the fees every two weeks for a while.
I had no choice but to keep taking them out in order to pay the fees and try staying current on other bills. This is such a trap!!! It's also embarrassing.

Mom first of all, take a deep breath. You will not get itno trouble for closing your account. All you are responsible for is paying back what you borrowed. So the ones you have paid back what you borrowed, you are going to send them a letter requesting they mark your account paid in full. The ones you have not paid back in full, you will suggest a payment plan to. You do need to be sure, utilities, food, rent, etc are covered first. The first one you need to deal with is Cash Transfer Centers. They are well known for sending your employer a voluntary wage assignments to try to get their money back from you. I will post a link to a letter you can use as a guide and can tailor to fit your needs. You need to give a copy of this letter to your payroll and send it to CTC as soon as possible.
You sid you closed your account...please be sure the account is indeed closed and can not be forced open when and if these pdls continue to debit your account.
Here is the link I was talking about...if you have any question, please post them...

Dear Ms xxxxx, (Shazzers edited the name for your protection)
We have received your letter and forwarded it to Sandpoint Capital. I
would like to draw your attention to the loan document you approved on your
last loan. In that document, it states that the governing law is Nevis,
West Indies not the state you live in. Sandpoint Capital is an offshore
lender and follows the laws that are in place in Nevis. The form letter
you sent has been received by the lender many times and the outcome remains
the same. You agreed to the terms of that loan and therefore are bound to
repay the debt accordingly.

I work for a small company and i am human resources, so i am not worried about that. I did send them the form letter and as i said closed my bank account. I will answer the email by letting them know that the state laws prevail.

It is madness! Also in MA they can't garnish wages without a court order unless it is the IRS or child support, they would have to file a claim at the courthouse in my district
I am a bit nervous
Although the laws in MA prohibit these PDL'S I am a bit nervous about what will happen next. Will they call right away when they can't get the money (due on Friday) or will they try again?? :?

Shazzers is a she :lol: And she is correct. Your state laws prevail. They will call, the timing depends on the company. Just do not let them get to you when they call. They will teall you whatever they can to get you to pay them. When talking to them remember your state laws previal and pdls are prohibited in your state.
