They are notorious for making illegal threats and being horrible to deal with. If your loan is with them and has not been turned over to an outside collection agency, they do not have to honor a cease and desist communications request.
Make sure to keep copies of all email correspondence in case you need to rely on it to file complaints against this company.
As for them being licensed, they might be licensed in the state they're located in, but I sincerely doubt they are licensed anywhere else.

They are Rio, ameriloan, United Cash Loans, National Fast Cash...
They have so many dba's I doubt they can keep track of them!

Found this to be very interesting while closing my complaint against Rio Resources.

Hi bigr. I had to deal with United Cash Loans myself, and I don't think that they are licensed anywhere...not even in the state that they are located in. But, I think this is one of the companies that claim Indian Reservation location rights, or something like that. They can't do anything to you, but they will harrass the mess out of you on the phone. When they call, just keep saying that you want to do all correspondence in writing and hang up. Even if they call you 50 times a day. Just be like a broken record and keep saying to put it in writing. I would also keep a record of how many times they call so that you can report it, if you plan to report to a state agency or the BBB.

Indian Reservation location rights? That's a new one that I haven't heard yet. These companies never cease to amaze me.

I've had ameriloan calling me, and I used "You have been sent letters and emails reguarding this matter. Please refer to those. I also requested for you not to call my office phone as it is not to be used for personal business and this is a personal matter."
Ameriloan started up on my first because I took out one from them first, United Cash just began sending the same exact emails and I'm sure the calls will be starting from them soon....
I didn't realize they were claiming reservation rights? I doubt there are any Native Americans in the management of that/those companies...
I guess I am the only one who has actually had a good experience
I guess I am the only one who has actually had a good experience with UCL. I took out a $300 loan back in June (I think) and did not pay back one red cent due to NSF. So because of the renewal and the NSF my balance was up to $480. Just last week I got an email from them telling me about my balance. There was a link from the email to their website to set up a settlement offer and payment options. Their website and I settle for $432 at two payments of $216 each.
I took out a loan from them last year sometime and did the same thing and one of their reps called in and we were able to nicely and professionally work out payments.
I guess if you want to avoid the horror stories above, first off don't take out a loan with them and secondly if you do and are not able to pay it back, call them and work something out. It's worked for me a couple times.
It just sucks that their loan rate is outrageously high! $90 on a $300 loan? daaaaaang!!

I dealt with UCLs also. Hated them and they are sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. They like to send "paper" checks through.

Hi dtownmike. You are the first person I have heard of who had a good experience with them. You are right, their fees are outragious!!! $90 is alot of money to pay for a $300 loan!!! But, I did it...twice, in fact!!! I was so broke after repaying the first loan that I had to get a second! It was horrible!!!
Yep Tiffany...Indian Reservation! I called the Oklahoma AG office to just inquire about filing a complaint. Someone on the phone was nice enough to tell me that them and 500fastcash (who is also a part of the same MTE), are hard to touch because of some Indian Reservation law. So the best thing to do is to just remember that they are illegal and even though they threaten you, they can't do anything. Also, keep filing with the BBB and your state's regulators. I think the complaints help in general because it not only helps to warn others of their sneaky practices, but keeps bringing them to the attention of people who can maybe get something done to put them out of business.

Oh I got the settlement email as well. I didn't even bother clicking on the link. They are beginning to do that settlement thing now I think because too many of us have fought back, so they are just trying to get as much illegal money out of us as they can.
I'm not going to settle with them for the 480 they think I owe. Besides I have nothing to offer when going into the settlement. I just got a second job, and I'm late on my car payments, it is getting colder and I need wood, I wouldn't be able to pay them back for a long time anyway, and they won't accept that settlement. So they can wait, they'll get back what I borrowed, and no more, I don't want to encourage them in their illegal practices.....
Poko, Do what you need to do. You need to take care of yourself.
Poko, Do what you need to do. You need to take care of yourself. I understand that you wantt to pay back what you borrowed, but you can only do it when you have a bit extra. Now your needs come first. They will have to just be a bit patient

Luckily, prescription assistance came through, and I don't have to worry about spending $80+ every month and a half now, plus a bunch of free diabetic supplies from an Aunt! So yeah, taking care of myself (and my family!) was way more important, which is what got me into the mess in the first place. But now I have one less expense to worry about, now I can concentrate on my housing and then I'll worry about paying people back!

I received a text message today from United Cash Loans that I need to contact them about my account. They were one of my loans that I still owed before I closed my account. I owe a principal balance to them of $300 and sent them a certified letter, fax, email stating that I needed to be contacted through US mail or email in reference to setting up payment arrangements with them. I'm more than willing to pay what I owe but I want everything in writing so I have it to fall back on. Besides, if I make the call to them then they will think it's okay to make these arrangements over the phone and that's not okay with me. I'm sure they will never accept the fact that I refuse to pay any finance fees to them as I'm sure they are expecting. I guess if I don't hear back from them soon they will be turning the account over to a CA. Am I making a mistake by not calling them back or should I continue to wait for a written letter or email?

United doesn't turn anything over to CA's. They just keep calling you themselves. After a while, it becomes one call every couple of months and you can pretty much ignore them.

Once every couple of months? I should be so lucky... seems I get the recorded message at least once a day at home and at work. This morning I actually had someone "live" call me; although it took a couple of minutes for the woman to admit she was calling from UCL. When she identified herself, I immediately hung up. Wish there were a way to stop the calls!

I had an associate that was getting daily calls from them here at work. The standard " I must hear from you today or a decision will be made on your behalf". I answered a few times and had some fun with them.

I've received their settlement letters in the past, as well; if you DO pay them be VERY careful not to give them new bank account information or they'll go after the funds in your new account. Sometimes you'll even get letters/emails from PDL's saying you've been SUCH a good customer, they'd like to give you more money in addition to what you owe. And - guess what? - all you need to do is give them your (new) bank account number! ;)
