Washington State and Internet PDL

I am waiting to be registered. But, I am regularly checking for replies while I wait. Thanks!

Finally registered! Any help would be appreciated.

OH Thank You!!!! :)

It's awful to say, but I am glad that we seen the only ones out there that are having to deal with this.

It's a relief knowing for sure that they are, in fact, illegal. I totally feel like we've paid our fair share and then some and only want these scum off our backs.

I will start on all that paperwork later this evening. Did you go as far as complaining to the BBB and the state? Did you request a refund? I read somewhere that some people have had some of their money returned.

Great idea, I never thought about giving copies to HR and the bank. It would devistate us if they somehow got ahold of our new account. We still have to officially close that account but or bank is making us keep it open (just blocked) because we have a small loan with them. :/ Such a frustrating process just to keep our money!!

I have a sneaky suspision that out private information was sold overseas and i am feeling nervous about that. I sincerely appreciate the help and feel more confident moving forward with this mess. Good luck!

I know the feeling. As soon as your loan with your bank is paid off, try to open a different account. If you are unhappy with your current bank find another one.

I did not file with the BBB as these companies are not registered with them. I don't feel it would do much good.

If you feel your personal information was sold to an illegal lender, file a complaint with the FTC. I did. This will also give the FTC some power to help you if irregular occurrences happen on your credit report or if other transactions are done or credit cards/loans are taken out in your name(s). The more you do now to protect yourself, the less you have to do down the road.

If the "collectors" from overseas call again tell them that you have checked with your local court and there is nothing filed against you. Also tell them that per your local police department that there is no lawsuits against you. I did and they stopped calling. At least for now. You can also ignore these people. I would also warn any of age children, siblings and parents if alive just in case these low lives call them. Make sure your employer also knows to ignore these calls as they are part of the scam you were a victim of so your jobs are not in danger.

Thanks again!!
Today I sent everything I couldn't get done off. I also made complaints to the FTC, my AG, the FI of Washington state, and the BBB. Crossing my fingers!!
