westbury threatening that I am refusing to pay a loan

Legally, no they can not do this. Do they do this, unfortunately, yes. If you are at the same bank they do it by using your social security number, some banks allow this, some don't. You should put a hard hold on that account which prevents any withdrawals unless you are doing the withdrawals.

so if they try to do this illegally can i do something about it also if i put a hard hold on it how will it affect me having withdraws from bills coming out my bak is a credit association do you know if they allow this

You need to check with your bank if they allow this. If you have a hard hold, it means only you could withdraw the money, I imagine by going to the teller. And nobody will be able to debit your account. It may be the best move for you right at this moment to protect your finances.

do you know what name they use so when i contact my bank tomorrow i can let them know

There are a few names they go by. I can not recall right at this moment. But others will read this thread and give the other names they operate under. So keep checking it frequently through the night if you are going to your bank tomorrow.

the problem is that my bank is in salisbury and im in washington nc my paycheck is direcrt deposited into that account and that it i usually withdraw at the credit union locally atm and by using my card at different stores i dont do personal business because its so far away i can call them

I didn't join your rip off group... I do not owe any loans to any rip off companies... I want my money back now...

This is going to the State Attorney General's office and to the Banking Commission. This is just plain wrong...

This is not a post. I want my answer in an e-mail... you know the address since it appears you were into my computer.

I was in total shock when I found out this company got a hold of my checking account number, I never put my checking account number on line. I called these obnoxious people and belive me they are obnoxious. I called my bank and now have to go and fill out an avidavidt to see. These people just cannot go in and take money out of your account with your your permission. But the law will be involved with this company. I don't know how these people sleep at night

I recently requested reversal of two payments to pd6venturefunloan, after payments of $900 for a $300 loan. Apparently this loan shark outfit has changed names. I was recently overdrafted by loanshp/westbury.
They have attempted within the past week to withdraw over 1200 dollars. I'm glad I don't have any money. I'll pay the NSF fees and close the account. Did you know you can change you Social Security Number? I will be doing this tomorrow.
I know I've learned a very valuable if expensive lesson....

How in the world can you change you ss#. I honestly do not think it is possible

I have never heard of anyone ever being able to change their social security number. I wouldn't think you could or everybody in the world would be changing their social security numbers.

If it were possible i would have changed mine already.
Lady, I think our poster is mistaken, it can not be done

I am thinking the only way that can be done is like for a witness protection program from the FBI. Correct me if I am mistaken.

Jackie-Good luck with that....you have to have some serious grounds to change your ssn#, not as easy as walking up to a window in a Social Security office. Since you're going tomorrow you'll have to let us know how it goes.

I am about 199% sure that you cannot legally change your social security number, unless you want to commit a federal crime...And that's another story altogether! Is Westbury a pdl or an installment loan company?

I just saw that loanshp/westbury took several hundred dollars out of my account without my permission. I will be filing charges.

I am calling now, if they don't refund I am calling my bank.

If this happens to you file a claim with your bank and they will fight it for you and reimburse any nsf charges (depending on the bank). Per the bank, this company cannot dip into your account without your permission. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. This loan they say I owe is something I received in '03 and paid back by the end of the year. Unfortunately I don't have receipts that far back but I am contesting this because I REFUSE to pay something I've already paid!

The SAME thing just happened to me... This low-life ripoff company or individual just screwed me out of $390 and caused me $425 in overdraft fees!! A week ago, I had $150 taken out of my account and three small $1.00 charges. Now, I have to fight my bank to get my fees returned to me and sign an affidavit and wait until they feel I deserve my money back.
Needless to say, suntrust bank does not care much about their customers. This is NOT the first time someone has ripped me off and stole my hard-earned money out of my account. Now, I have to practically threaten to get a lawyer involved to just get MY own money back from my own bank!!
I tell you what... Im just paying my bills in person. NEVER again will my bank account or credit card info. be entered in a single thing online!!!
Unbelievable how some people have nothing better to do or NO talent enough to earn their own money, they have to STEAL from honest people.. and I am a single mother of 2, the youngest is 6 months old.
Thanks for taking food out of their mouths.. losers.

The SSA does allow a change of SSN in identity theft cases, etc etc, but it is not a very effective way to go because your old SSN is cross-referenced with your new one. So, changing it in this manner will not do any good for a third party scammer such as we are talking about in this thread. I actually would advise against doing this because it means you cannot get a passport, among other things, because you wont have the documentation with a new SSN that you had with your original, which normally goes back to when you were little.
