I thought I had finally gotten rid of the collectors that were trying to collect for old payday loans. I got a call today from Terry Johnson at Bryan Keith and Associates saying he was calling about a possible fraud case. I did a search and it looks like other people have received calls from this same guy about old payday loans.

In this United Legal again but just under a different name? I thought they were finally gone. I have not had any calls for about a year.

Do I even need to call the guy back? I have not had an online payday loan since 2004 and thought I had gotten rid of these guys but apparently not.

So, Shazzers, I take it they are not legitimate??

Do you mean United Cash Loans, is that the name of the original lender?

The point is, for someone to call you after a year has passed and claim it is a matter of fraud sounds like a scare tactic that Internet payday lenders use, quite often as a matter of fact.

In order for me to know for certain your payday lenders aren't licensed I would need more info.
Your state
Name of lenders
How much borrowed
How much paid back.
Internet or store front.

Hi Shazzers. Frankly, it has been so long ago, I am not sure I remember all the amounts and the names of the lenders but here is what I think they are (last one was in 2005). Most were in 2003 and 2004. I live in the state of Missouri.

Preferred Cash - Loan amount $300.00. I know I made at least 4 payments of $90 in extension fees and then called them to work out payment arrangements. This is right when I got ill with breast cancer so, frankly, not sure how many more payments I made. They quit charging me extension fees and I mailed in money orders for the balance. As I said, I am thinking once I got ill, I may not have paid the whole balance but I know I paid well over the $390 total of the loan prior to that.

MTE - $300.00. I do not remember exact amount. I know I paid them for a long, long time. Because of my illness and the fact I had paid extensions for so long, the owner settled with me for $30 less than the balance remaining. I was hassled on this by collectors for several years. Even though I have read bad things about MTE on here, they were nice in trying to help me get this straight with the collectors that I no longer owed anything... at least they said they were helping. Based on what I have read about them on here, maybe they were not.

AP Processing - $300.00 Again, I do not remember exact amount of how much I paid. I know I did call them when I first started getting hassled by United Legal and they told me I was shown as paid in their system.

LoanByPhone - Loan amount was $200.00. I made at least four payments of $60 in extension fees. I mailed in payments to them as well when I got ill and they quit charging me extensions. However, I did talk to them about a year ago when I was being hassled by United Legal and they told me their system showed me loan as being $120 written off in 2005.

If you need exact amounts, I can request copies of my bank statements from back then. It has been so long ago, I do not remember by memory. Does this help any as far as determining if they were legal or not? I do know I paid all of these people for a number of months before I just could not do it anymore. When I first started getting calls from United Legal, I called all of t hese people (except Loanby phone because I thought it was paid) and they assured me I was fine with them and the calls were not being initiated by them.

Should I ignore this person from Byron Keith law firm then? Thanks so much for your help.
