I have gotten myself involved with these stupid payday loans - here they are - I live in New York

Discount Advances $720
Paradise Cash $300
Payday Yes $500
US Fast Cash $300
SGQ Ltd $300
FTR Processing $300
ameriloan $300
Titan Group $300

I just had to close my bank account because it was out of control. I need help - what do I do next to get the principal paid off?

I contacted two free legal aide places in my city - neither does anything with it and I can't afford a lawyer.

Thank you!!!!!!!!


welcome olivia.first you have to go through your bank records to find out how much if anything was debited by these pdl's.you see pdl's are prohibited in NY so you only do owe the principle.any debits or so-called fees go toward the loan.find that out and we can proceed.i would file AG,FTC and BBB complaints against all of these pdl's.you took care of your account.good do not give it to these pdl's.send letters stating what you owe them and you will pay by money order only.again welcome and others should be along to assist as well.

I did do the letters to the pdls - two I don't have an email for so I am going to fax it. At this point I would almost have to assume they owe ME money because I have been paying on these if there is anything left it isn't much. I will pull my bank records. What do I do email and tell them the balance I think I owe? I will file the complaints as well.

I hope the information below will help you. :)
You are only obligated to pay back the principal amount you borrowed from an unlicensed/illegal Internet Payday Lender.

What should you do?
Close your account asap, if you are unable to close your account, go into your bank and ask to speak with the Branch Manager, tell him/her you need a hard debit block placed on your account immediately! Explain that you are revoking ACH authorizations from unlicensed/illegal companies, and have learned these companies are notorious for ignoring revocation, therefore it is important to BLOCK any withdrawal attempts on your account to protect your interest. This is your privilege, do not accept no for an answer. The following link will provide you important information regarding closing accounts. CLICK HERE

What next?
AFTER your account is secure send each pdl (the unlicensed and illegal) an email similar to THIS (please scroll down to locate letter template). Tailor this letter to your needs, and try to write it with the same basic concept in your own words. You will need to research and locate email addresses/physical addresses if you don't already have them, I suggest that you type the name of the pdl (example: "oneclickcash address") in the search box in the upper right hand corner of this forum. You may also search for addresses HERE at the Better Business Bureau.

File complaints: Most of the time, you can file a complaint online with the following, I encourage you to follow through with doing so, you will need to search the Internet for your state Attorney General's website, however, here are links to file complaints for the FTC, Online complaints: Federal Trade Commission., and the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

Keep in mind that you may not receive a response for days, or even weeks, or, you may receive harassing and threatening phone calls. I have found the best way to deal with this is not to respond or reply, simply hang up.

Side note: If you have paid an illegal/unlicensed payday lender above and beyond the principal amount you borrowed, it might be a good idea to demand a refund and a paid in full letter/receipt. You may or may not get one or both. It still doesn't hurt to include that tidbit in your letter. :)[/quote]
