I need any information that I can get!! I am currently going through this forum and researching, but I would appreciate help on what to do because I do not even know where to start. I have been in this terrible cycle for a year!! Please HELP!!


Hello!

Payday One is a registered CSO in Texas. They are 100% legal.

Cash Net USA is a registered CSO in Texas. They are also 100% legal.

Those 2 companies you will want to pay off, as they can take steps to collect on the debts.

Payday Max on the other hand is not a licensed pdl, or a registered CSO, so they are not loaning legally.

Please read this thread:

It has some info you will need to know about closing your bank account. That is your first step.

Thanks, that's at least one down! As far as closing my account in Texas, are there any laws against that? Also, I have payments for payday1 and cashnet coming out of my account as soon as monday. don't banks have a "cool off" period which will allow those transactions to come through?

No, you should be fine closing your account. Many from Texas have done it before and never had any problems. If you had a storefront that you'd written a check to, it could be an issue, but usually it's not. Since you are all internet, you should be fine.

Yes, usually ACH transactions are put through 3 business days before it appears on your account. So it is probably too late to stop the transactions for Monday. But you can always go by your bank and check. Ask them what their policy is for ach transactions on closed accounts, and if they will force open the closed account.

You will need to file complaints against them with the BBB, AG's office, your state Dept of Financials, and anyone else you can find.

Then you will need to send them a letter requesting that your account be marked paid in full once you have paid the principle amount only on the loan. That would mean you would still owe $137.22.

is this the same action I should take against payday one and usfast cash? I read on here about a success story with someone who had overpaid them in the past with previous loans, and that counted towards their current loan principle. I have several overpaid paid in full loans in the past with all three of these companies, so will that count towards my current principle balances?

So I'm going to close my bank account today (had to wait for my other bills to come out of my account). This is a letter that I came across that I was going to send to payday max, cashnet usa, and payday one (of course edited to my situations)... Will this work for all three companies?

Dear Sir or Madam,

Since taking a loan with you, I have educated myself on the laws and regulations of PDLs and how you have violated almost every single one of them and I will let the BBB, AG, and FTC know this.

According to the Texas Attorney General????????s office since I reside in Texas you have to follow the Texas Payday Loan Laws (posted below for your review) and you have to be licensed in Texas to do business with me.
Which by the way, they are not showing that Impact Cash or Impact Cash USA is licensed in Texas so you in violation and I will be filing a complaint with them.

Texas State Information
Legal Status: Legal

I loaned with you one time previously and my obvious overpayments on the fees should be applied to my balance and then our relationship with each other can end. Upon receipt of a paid in full letter I will not even pursue the full refund of ALL monies I paid you that I am entitled to due to the loans being illegal to begin with, since you are not licensed in Texas.

ACH REVOCATION:

This is my written notice to you informing you of revoking any ACH authorization you may have on file from me on any bank accounts I currently have or may have in the future.
You no longer have my permission to use ACH drafts on any of my bank accounts.

WAGE ASSIGNMENT REVOCATION:

Though not legal to begin with, I hereby revoke your right to use any wage assignment I may have digitally signed or verbally agreed to.

This request to revoke complies with Texas Codes/Statues on Wage Assignments/Garnishments quoted below:

???????DEDUCTIONS FROM WAGES ???????
???????The employer may not make deductions unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction (as in court-ordered child support payments); authorized to do so by state or federal law (as in IRS withholding); or authorized in writing by the employee, and then only for a lawful purpose. ???????

Any wage assignment/wage garnishment is thus invalid.

Cease and Desist:

This serves as your notice to cease and desist all collection attempts including but not limited to phone calls to me, phone calls to my employer, phone calls to my references, as well as any written communication to my employer.

Below I am giving you the specific law mentioned in FDCPA:


You may email my paid in full letter or contact me by email only at (list email address) to send me my paid in full letter.

Any contact and all responses from your company, parent company, any of your affiliated companies, or collection agency retained by you, will be recorded and forwarded to the above mentioned agencies and authorities


If you contend you are operating legally in the State of Texas, please provide a copy of all paperwork tied to this transaction-along with your licensure, which I will then forward to the State Attorney General for review. You will need to send that to me via certified mail by June 30th. You may request, via email, the address to send this required information to.

Otherwise, no further action is required on your part other than to send me a paid in full letter which I will be expecting by June 30th, 2008.

Once I am in receipt of the paid in full letter I will notify all the above mentioned agencies that you have satisfactorily resolved this matter with me.




Sincerely,





Let me know what you think. Thanks again for all of your help! I am so excited that I am finally going to get out of this mess!!

Zip19 is not licensed to lend to Texas residents. CLICK HERE to find out how to deal with illegal lenders. CashNetUSA is not a payday lender, they are a CSO (Credit Service Organization) and are licensed to lend to Texas residents. They do not follow the payday lender laws and are usually legal in what they charge. You might be able to ask them if they would place you on an EPP (Extended payment plan), explain to them you are having a hardship, but remain proactive.

I borrowed money from Borrow Cash Now, and I am trying to find out if they are legal in Texas. DC Capital is calling me saying they are from an attorney's office. When I check the name of the attorney with the New York Attorney General's office, I find that they don't show him as an attorney. I borrowed 300 dollars, and they have taken $300.00 out of my account before I stopped paying. I need to know if I have to deal with these people
