Payday Max Loan: $750 Paid $536
Discount Advance, Loan: $750 Paid $804
Metro (Geneva Roth), Loan: $400 Paid: $720
Paychecktoday, Loan:$400 Paid:$480
Cash Advance Network: Loan $400 Paid:$480
Little Loan Shoppe, Loan:$300 Paid:$270
United Cash Loans: $300 Paid:$270
Payday One, Loan:$300
The amount paid are through the lovely fees they charged every two weeks until I stopped the madness. The PDL assistance program, including settlement and their fees come out to an estimated $3300. However, from previous posts it looks as if I have more than met my responsibility to most of them. Is this correct? If I were to do this on my own can someone specifically outline the steps? How do I find the addresses for these? Am I throwing money away through the PDL program? Thank you again for your help?

Hello eladril3 and welcome to the community! :) I am moving this to the pdl section so it will receive more attention. One suggestion, you can place the name of the company you wish to gather information on in the search box in the upper right hand corner of this forum. A list of topics posted by other members of this forum will come up who have dealt with these companies. :)

I don't think any of the above are licensed or legal to lend in your state. If I am wrong, someone please correct me!
On the ones above that I paid too much, do I send a letter reque
On the ones above that I paid too much, do I send a letter requesting a refund of that amount? Do I send a verification of debt letter first and then a letter stating the state law, then request a refund?
So far the only one that looks legal from the California Department of Corporations is Payday One.
Good luck with PayCheck Today. I have had no luck getting a hold
Good luck with PayCheck Today. I have had no luck getting a hold of anyone. This company is illegal everywhere, they are a part of the MTE financial group.
Also forgot to tell you that there was a judgment against MTE Fi
Also forgot to tell you that there was a judgment against MTE Financial June 28, 2008 restricting them and their affiliates from lending and collecting in the state of California.

Actually, you could ask for a 'verification' of the debt, but they will most likely only respond that you look over your contract. If I were you, I would file complaints with your AG, and the FTC, then notify these companies of what you have done [file complaints], that always gives you a little ammunition to toss at them, in that letter I would include that they should cease & desist contact with you, revoke ACH transaction and most importantly, revoke any and all wage assignments you may or may not have signed with them, and promptly give a copy of the wage assignment revocation to your employers payroll department. In your complaints, state the resolution you are seeking is a refund of the over paid amount, and make sure you make it clear these companies are lending money illegally & are unlicensed to do so. That's kinda my advice. Hope it helps. :)
Oh and, why not demand a refund from these companies, all they can say is no!
This is a letter that I came accross. Will this help with my PD

On the ones I paid too much, do I simplly request the funds back
On the ones I paid too much, do I simplly request the funds back, maybe highlighting California State Law? On the others that are not legal, do I provide a copy of the state law and offer to settle the diference on what I paid already and the principle?

What letters / forms should I use to take care of the settlement and or ask for refunds?
