US Secret Service investigating PDL

THIS IS AWESOME! I think I will go and file complaints, even though my accounts were settled awhile ago and I had help from my attorney general's office. I definately will be filing complaints with them!!!! :D :D :D :D

Let's keep this thread up to the top so others will see this and file complaints also with the Secret Service. :D

Elliot Spitzer, the NY AG, really hates payday loans, so they should, if nothing else, be able to really apply some pressure to the companies you're dealing with. Girl, you are due some serious refunds, and I really hope you get them!

From one alone you should get back like $6,500.

Wow, I never thought of the secret service. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress :)

Isn't that awesome Mishele? I wish we had thought to do that. I wish I had done that. I may still do that. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

wow, another place to file complaints...thats real good to know.

I know that the Secret Service is the branch of government agencies that deals with currency, so it would only make sense. And I think the FTC is getting more into the internet, so maybe they would be a good resource for those internet loans. Potential abuse of the internet "waves", or something. Just a thought. Have a good weekend, everyone! I'm outa here!

Great idea! I know the Secret Service is in the Dept of the Treasury, so it makes complete sense! Guess they do more than guard the president, lol...What about the FBI? That might be an option, since they deal with fraud across state lines???

That's terrific information! Thanks for sharing it.

Great idea! There is also ICE - part of Homeland Security - they investigate cyber crimes. I have been telling people to complain to them also. Aren't the ipdls committing cyber crimes? They are illegal in the states. Now I have a new place to complain!

Steelers,

Yes it is an awesome idea :) There was one I reported to the FBI but there is going to be another one. I also might report this one to the Secret Service as well. It could be a case of internet stalking after talking to a different forum friend. :twisted:

The more agencies that get involved, the more chances that these places will be shut down.

NY is really on the ball. Thanks so much for sharing with us about the Secret Service. That never crossed my mind!

kscornell,

I couldn't agree with you more. It's always nice to learn something new. I'm going to look into this over the next week or so for my state. :)

Mishele, I know what you mean. I really enjoyed seeing this thread and another government agency encouraging others to file complaints with the secret service. This should get interesting if enough people follow through with complaints! :D

I'm glad I was able to give something back even though I have only been here a few days. This site and all of you who help have given me the courage to deal with the PDL hell I have gotten myself in to.

Thanks for the information. This is great news. I think I will send in complaints also. Best Wishes Kyside38

This how we learn, by sharing with each other. It doesn't matter how long you've been around here, you can always learn something new. :)

MPEREZ56, THANKS FOR THIS GREAT INFORMATION
HERE.

Where is the information for the Secret Service? Can you file a complaint online?

I just googled US Secret Service Website. Then I looked for the contact information for my local area. I did call them but it was after hours. I was told I had called the right place but I haven't called back yet since I'm still working on getting everything in order.

Please keep us updated with your progress on this. If it works for you, I'm going to turn a couple over to the secret service.

I will be doing the same, another government agency to start looking at these ipdls. It is interesting how a few hide behind their borders.

Personally I wish that they would just shut down the PDL business altogether, where they stop one another is bound to creep up like the weeds they are.

can someone give me some advice on reporting the IPDL's that I am mixed up with to the secret service, have already turned them into the AG's office, BBB, FTC, Dept. of Banking & Finance. So far haven't received any threatening emails since the 18th of June. Spoke to my legal aide society today and the attorney there told me to not respond to any of their emails and change my email address which I have done. They also said they had never heard of that check recovery system. My bank stated they can not do a hold hard block on debits but to report any fraudulent activity to them to investigate. Let's keep our fingers crossed that these places finally get what's coming to them:) Nothing like kicking you in the teeth when your down on your luck.
