So...I need to close my bank account (will do tomorrow)
Start the letter writing. I saw a sample letter in another post. One letter will cover (1)do not call me, my references or my employer (2)consider my account pif.
That is for the illegal ones
1. Mycashnow, Onestep, 500fastcash, Unitedcashloans and National cash.
What about the legal ones?
1. Eastside, Paydayone, Thinkcash and Cashnet?
Do I send a letter saying "Do not contact me via phone. I want to set up a repayment option on the principal only?"
I am not clear on what I can ask for from them!!! What are the chances of them settling?
You have been a lifesaver to me so far. I finally feel like I am not alone and I might actually survive this! Can you please get me more info....

Hang in there, you are in the right place. By the way, keep EVERYTHING you send in one place that is easy to access.
Good luck,
Diane

After doing research regarding Internet payday loan laws in the State of Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania in general:
Pennsylvania State Information
Legal Status: Prohibited
Citation:
Check cashers are specifically prohibited from making payday loans under Check Cashing Licensing Act of 1998, ???? 505(a). Otherwise, consumer discount company act applies. 7 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. ???? 6201 et seq.
Small Loan Rate Cap
$9.50 per $100 per year discount or 24% per year
Where to Complain, Get Information:
Regulator: Pennsylvania Department of Banking
Address: Market Square Plaza, 17 N. Second Street Harrisburg PA 17101
Phone: (717) 214-8343
Fax: (717) 787-8773
Regulatory Contact: Jim Keiser Administrator of Non-Depository Institutions
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 Washington Federal Bank to protect my interest in this matter, per instructions from The Pennsylvania 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 to be a legal and binding contract, I am requesting that you send me your license number which enables you to offer loans to Pennsylvania residents.
The legal amount that could have been charged to my loan is the principal amount, even IF your Internet pay day loan were legal anywhere in the U.S.. I am willing to pay the principle amount of the loan only, however, this is only if you provide me with a physical address where I can send payments.
I must also inform you that I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office.
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,
NAME
CC:
Better Business Bureau
Pennsylvania Attorney General
Federal Trade Commission

1. Close my account effective TODAY. (my payments are all due 10/10/)
2. On 10/10, email letters to the illegal lenders saying that I am done, they cannot contact me, etc. (I attached my draft letter in a previous post)
3. On 10/10 email letters to the legal lenders asking for a payment plan.
4. If no one responds, let Langhorne take over the legal lenders. I will continue to fight the illlegal ones...at least from what everyone else says in the postings on this site, they usually settle.
I know you are not lawyers, etc, but from your experiences, does this sound like a plan? I would think the legal lenders would rather deal with me directly, so they get paid sooner?!
I am really ready to give it all to Langhorne.
