Hello my name is Emmanuel Burgos and I have created this page to gather people and put a stop to harassing, intimidating, insulting and threatening communication from creditors and collectors that are involved with Westbury Ventures and its affiliates. Another individual and I have communicated and agreed to begin this lawsuit.
I received a phone call in 2007 from Westbury Ventures regarding a payday loan that I supposedly took out. They refuse to send me verification of the loan, they threaten me by saying that they will be garnishing my wages on a particular day. They will not give me an address. They have cursed at me, threatened me, violated my FDCPA rights and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act in various occasions (my hometown).
From the day that I began receiving these disturbing phone calls and emails I began to do some research on my rights as a consumer and have learned all the FDCPA rights and act 505. Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. My rights as a consumer continued being violated so I consulted with one of the top 10 Attorneys in Illinois, David P. Leibowitz. He is very interested in this case. After doing some research David Leibowitz concluded that these companies were fraud and scammers. He is working with three other attorneys in the Chicago land area to put this crime scene together. They are criminals and will be charged as criminals. The only thing we as consumers need to do is to enter this class action lawsuit as a community. We are looking at FDCPA rights violations, ACT 505. Chapter 815 violations and possibly RICO ACT convictions. There is a substantial amount of money involved in regards to our winnings. If your rights have been violated by the below named companies:

Hello,

My name is Maria and I am from Waltham, MA. I started noticing money missing from my checking account in October 2007, I called my bank and they gave me the 800 for Westbury Ventures. They told me that I had taken a loan out in 2005 and I owed them money, they were a collection agency for LoanShop. I asked how much was my loan for and they could not tell me, I asked for some proof that I had taken out a loan online and they hung up on me. It has been heck for me since then, they have taken $731.00 from me and I also lost $550 in overdraft charges from Bank of America, I have proof that I have paid this company and want to be part of the lawsuit. I want to help stop these people from scamming anyone else. I reported them to the BBB and they were supposed to give me $180.00 back and never did.

Please write back and let me know what I can do to be a part of this.

It looks like they are in Delaware. It's unfortunately a 2 party state. What does that mean? It means you cannot tape phone calls without their consent. I'd venture a guess to say these people will not be in business long. Start by reporting them to the BBB if you haven't already done so. If that doesn't work, send them an ITS (intent to sue) letter certified mail with return receipt requesting your money back. State you will be suing for up to 3x what they overcharged and docked from your account. That should get them on the ball. Hope this helps.

They have ripped off a lot of people, they are affiliated with pay day loans.

I had a collector at one time from PLAZA ass. I haven't heard from them for a while. I can not believe that it is legal for these guys to just go in and take money from someones account. I tell you I would shut that account down in two seconds! They should send letters before taking any money at all so you can verify if you allow this to happen. I hope you guys sue the pants off these scum suckers. I would also get a hold of BBB. Maybe someone can put a stop to their harassment. Good luck. Please keep us posted.

I have always filed a complaint with our states attorney generals office, they seemed to be really effective, along with the bbb, cause then at least it is on record for all to see.

Its just a shame that a person has to go through all these extremes over bad debt collectors.

I know, some of them are a royal pain in the rear end, it is a shame that they get a way with so much.

They are easily the most shady company I have ever encountered. Once I realized exactly what was going on - I quit. They employ close to 60 collectors, and if they get your bank account #, they will do what they call "Suprise pulls" That means, every week, each employee goes through the thousands of accounts in their database, and attempts to pull a chunk of money from the account without notifying the owner. Usually, only about 1% of these work. But if you're trying to pull out $300 from 1,500 accounts, and only 15 of those are successful - it's still quite a bit of money. These people should all burn in hell.

OMG that is just nasty. Kuddos to you madman for walking away from such creeps. I can not believe they get away with something like that.

Okay that is just not right, somebody should have sued them a long time ago for this type of collection activity. Is this even legal.

Sued them and reported them. This crap really gets my temp up. I know the problem wouldn't be there if you pay your bills on time but everyone hits a bump in the road. When they do this is not the kind of people they need to be dealing with.

What other option is there? They have to be put into place somehow.

This would be a great fit for a new pseron to pseron lending network. You can get up to $25,000 per loan, and can list postings for a number of loans. Join a group like the one below for a better chance of getting funded and for some tips along the way.Make Sure Your Loan Gets FundedThere are lots of factors that impact the likelihood of your loan getting funded. Through a careful analysis thousands of loans, we found a handful of factors jump to the top of the list. By far the most important factor in whether a loan gets funded is a group leader endorsement. The group leader endorsement was about twice as powerful as any other factor we reviewed.
