I had a debit from my account yesterday from Westbury Ventures. I have had other PDL but not with this company.Reading the post I think they may be working with Arrowhead. I took out a loan with them in December 2006. By March I had paid over $600 on a $250 loan. I had to close my BofA account.This is a new account with a different bank. How can they legally go in my account and take out money I didn't authorize? I live in Illinois. I don't think they are licensed here. HELP!!!! How did they get my information?

They got your new account info using your social security number

They got your new account info using your social security number..You need to go to your bank right away..Today if they are open. Explain to them the situation. I know it's embarrasing, but you can't have this happening, they'll never stop. Your bank can get your money back for you and put a block on that company.

Hang tight..Goudah, who is absolutely BRILLIANT with PDL laws, will hopefully be around soon to help you take care of those theives..

Did you apply for any other pdl's using your new bank account.

Did you apply for any other pdl's using your new bank account. That would be the only way I think they could have gotten that information.

Goudah will be along shortly (as finsfan said) she will be able to answer in more detail.

These things really scare me, and I am hearing more of it each day. I was under the impression there was a very slim chance of these pdls hitting our new accounts. Are we ever going to be safe from this happening? Can they infact get our accounts just by putting into some system our ss#.Is it really as simple as that?
