After doing research regarding Internet payday loan laws in the State of MS, I have found that your Internet payday loans are actually illegal/Unlicensed in my state. I have also found the following laws to be true applying to payday loans in the State of MS in general:
Mississippi State Information

Legal Status: Legal (Applies to check cashers only)

Citation:
Miss. Code Ann. § 75-67-501 et seq.

Loan Terms:
Maximum Loan Amount: $400
Loan Term: Max: 30 days
Maximum Finance Rate and Fees: 18% of check
Finance Charge for 14-day $100 loan: $22
apr for 14-day $100 loan: 572%

Debt Limits:
Maximum Number of Outstanding Loans at One Time: Not Specified
Rollovers Permitted: None (cannot renew or otherwise extend)
Cooling-off Period:
Repayment Plan:

Collection Limits:
Collection Fees: NSF fee; Court-awarded fees (if disclosed)
Criminal Action: Prohibited (When check returned due to NSF)

I hereby revoke any and all ACH authorizations with your company from debiting any of my personal accounts, per Federal law, Regulation E Section 205.10 Preauthorized transfers. I have closed my account with my bank to protect my interest in this matter, per instructions from The Department of Finance. I also revoke any and all wage assignments I may or may not have signed with your company, 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 have notified my employer about this matter so any attempts to do so on your part will be rejected.

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 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.

Due to the fact that Internet payday loans must be licensed in the state of _MS___ to be a legal and binding contract, your company should NOT issue loans to _MS___ residents at all. I am requesting that you send me your license number which enables you to offer loans to _MS___ residents.

The legal amount that could have been charged to my loan is the principal amount, after looking over my records, I have paid over the principle amount owed and would like you to send me a letter or email stating my account has been marked paid in full. I must also inform you that I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Attorney General's Office in my state.

I expect a response from your company no later than 5 days from the above date regarding this matter. This response may only come via US Postal mail or email. No telephone contact is permitted.

Sincerely,

Jerica

Better Business Bureau
Ohio Attorney General
Federal Trade Commission


The letter is good. The only thing I added to mine was the amount I borrowed and the amount I had paid.

Something like this...

Quote:

The legal amount that could have been charged to my loan is the principal amount, after looking over my records the original amount I borrowed was $XXX.XX. I have paid $XXX.XX which is $XXX.XX over the principle amount owed and would like you to send me a letter or email stating my account has been marked paid in full.


Good Luck and keep us posted :)

One thing is that the CC is to the Ohio Attorney General and the letter states Mississippi's laws, I reported mine to my own state's attorney general and sometimes where the lender was located but it seems your lender is over seas.
Everything seems good :) Let us know what happens! Good luck!
