Free Speech/RANT

Who is harassing you? :shock:

Ashley, I'm sorry to hear people are harrassing you, but truthfully, they're not worth even thinking about. Just know that you have done a lot of good on this site. I, for one, have been helped by different informative posts by you, and I'm glad to hear you won't be backing down. Good for you! We need you here.

Hi Ashley, I agree with the other posts, don't let those people bother you. You are trying to do something for a lot of people. I have read many of your posts!! Keep up the good work!!!

Steelers someone sent me an email and said that he/she? had seen me post about people getting part time jobs to cover debt, they said 'who the fu** did I think I was, holy than though attitude and if I knew so much then why was I in debt and so on..it became really abusive it came from someone called spunky3010(at)gmail.com gmail is a free email service and when I sent a reply back it was undeliverable.

I also have recieved several PM on the boards here from people teliing me to go away and that my "advice: was not needed here or wanted...

Real nice people but the clincher came when someone threatened to sue me for my so called attacks on the PDL industry in my posts here and my blog entry's. That they knew who I was through my ISP ID and that they would personally come out and see me about my issue with the PDL industry.

As far as I can see my so called attacks on the PDL industry has been pretty tame, it is so in the infancy stages as I am trying to gather evidence and have only taken a few steps.

Like I said to those who think they can intimidate me, bring it on!

Your comments about pdls are tame compared to others, I know I have made some harsh comments about them, but I haven't been threatened, and I think some of my comments are harsh, more like reality based.

Thats what I don't get, I have READ some of the posts here in regards to the PDL industry and mine is so tame... if Polly is out there and reading, did you ever have this happen to you?

I know that when i first started replying I copied and pasted a lot but Mike helped me out with that and I try and not do that but those are the only posts where i can see that i wasn't approaching things fron the right angle..

But those were not threatening or harsh. Could be somebody just being stupid, and probably not the smartest thing to do, threaten to come to somebody's house. That isn't funny.

They are afraid that people will stand up for what is right... I would love to get involed in stopping the internet company's and the illegal storefronts in CA.. if we were told NO you cant have another loan MOST of us COULD Probably make it to the next payday.. I know it is tough but the money was too easy to get.. They do not check our credit only accounts to be sure that they can withdraw when ever they choose too.. I had one not even sure who it was and they put money in my account no contract sighed nothing . I was lucky they only took the principle and then 90.00 interests and never bothered me again.. After the horror stories I read about I am lucky. My one internet loan is my cash now and they have been more then reasonable with me although I now know that they charged me rollover fees that are illegal in CA. But until I finish paying them I will keep my mouth shut so they don????????t take everything out at once..
But please as I have been told many times in this form don????????t let them bully you and shut you up.. Where would you be if you let them.. IN DEBT.. ??????

I may have put that wrong. we were taken advantage of when we needed help.. not that we couldnt make it to a payday we just needed a little help and they exploited us

I agree with you in a way jn, that they do make it SO easy for people to get caught up, thats why I call them predators but we are all adults and have the ability to say No, but it is so hard to say No when the car payment is coming due or a prescription needs to be filled, Unfortunalty many learn to say NO too late after their accounts have been sucked dry. I guess I hope that with people posting their experiences here that somoene will learn from example and say NO before it's too late

but this harrasment sh** has got to stop but I guess i should expect that from having a public blog and posting on a public sounding board

Remember one thing, people who feel jealous involve into such bad acts and they do it hiding from others. Just know you are doing the right thing. No one can deter your good intentions. Keep up the good work!!

I think the key to remember is they are cowards. They attack you behind fake names and give you no chance for recourse. They are punks with no guts. Just ignore them. Do what you do and let your information be out there for all.

Trust me - the PDL industry doesn't care about you. You are plankton in an ocean. They won't come after you. They are too busy trying to keep ahead of the laws of the land. Suing one woman in KY who said some bad things about the PDL industry? Not going to happen.

Wow, sorry to hear it, but I tell you this - if the admin finally REQUIRES people to register, stuff like this won't happen, because the email has to be verifiable.

Not to go on my own rant, but it's a very simple solution.

Hang in there Ashley, don't sweat them, jedijeff is right. Anyone who can't show you who they are, or provide identifiable info is a coward, Thumbs up to you!! :)

Guys I am sorry to say that I am going to have to back off this site for awhile. I received another threatening email who threatened my family directly. I have notified my local police department This is all I can say for now. My blog will still continue to run but I won't be answering/helping any consumers on this board. I am not sure why or where this is coming from but the INTERNET is so not worth this kind of crap. So for now I will lurk, take care ya'll and keep up the fight!

I am a little worried how the lenders, collectors come to know about people unless they put their personal information online. Ashley, I don't think you have ever put anything online that can cause risk to you. Maybe, you are dealing with those people and they are giving you threats because you are opposing them. You have done the right thing by reporting to the local police. I am just assuming your participation in this board is not the reason of those threats. Because those people cannot get anything from this place. I am just trying to ease your mind if you are worried being here. I can understand how you are feeling, but if you stay isolated, you'll remain tensed. Come here and talk to us if we can make you feel better.

Ashley, I'm sorry you have to go..They're not worth it. I hope this gets resolved quickly and you can come back. Take care of yourself.

Ashley, if you need any help, PM me. If there is anything I can do for you, I'll be happy

Ashley, I can't tell you how sorry I am that those jerks are threatening your family. I am glad, though, that you alerted the police. If there's anything I can do, please let me know. Take care of yourself. I hope we'll be talking to you again soon.

I'm sorry to hear that Ashley. Have you PMd Mike or Vikas about this? I shoot pretty straight with people here, but I have never received threatening or rude pms or messages. Are they coming from here or your blog, where? Has anyone else recieved threatening messages? Just wondering, I never thought of this board as threatening, perhaps, a little over the top with spam and certain ones that want to be rude in their comments. But I either ignore them or if they are really bad, report them. Good Luck...Karen

Karen I got a nasty one but I dont care. I dont think the payday companies like what WV is doing. That is VERY GOOD!!!! I hope we all dont stop until this business is illegal. KYSIDE38

Sorry to hear that,Linda. I agree, they are getting worried. A person at LVNV told me they were well aware of where I was getting my info, and I was known to be educated in debt. Praise God, I said, it's about time I was :lol: ...Karen

Hye guys just a qucik update, as you can see I have been posting the past couple of days. Late last week my local police siad that it was still okay to blog and post that most liely it was someone blowing hot air. Now of course I never stopped Blogging but I am glad to be back in person online. My local uys and the feds are still investigating at this point and I am cautious but not scared. Thanks for all your support
