Subject: westbury ventures/internet pay day loan
 
Posted on Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:31 pm  

Need help fast. In October I obtained a PDL from the company (mistake I know). Since then I have paid them 960 dollars on a 400 dollar loan. I stopped payment with my bank, which then caused them to change their ACH name and withdrawl 520$, my bank has since recredited that amount.

I just received a call from a Mrs. Davis stating that I must send 390 dollars (settlement) today by Moneygram otherwise they will proceed with "paperwork". I have paid them 560 dollars over the originial loan amount. Does anybody know what will happen if I don't pay. What the laws are in Arizona? I want to call her back by the end of the day and let her know I am aware of my rights. She is telling me they don't have to go by State laws, only the state laws in deleware where they are located. SHe also stated she was going to send paperwork to my employer (I don't think they will honor it).

It is a mistake to get scared so easily. Do not worry. You have paid them much more than you owe them.

File a complaint on them with the Better Business Bureau in the state where they are located. I did and it worked. Someone from there will contact you immediately to work with you on your terms and treat you like a person.

Okay, I have read all of your comments and some of you are so far off it isn't even funny, but listen up and I will tel you how to beat them.

First, you did take a pay day loan from some company. Whether it was a company they owned or just one they collect for, I don't know, but you did indeed take a loan out. If you say you didn't, stop lying. Number one: They have all of your information and your account number and routing number because you gave it to them. If you say you didn't, then ask yourself this: Why on earth would someone commit fruad and give them all of this information? You are the only one that can withdraw money from your account and they deposited money in YOUR account. If you default or close this account then reapply for another pay day loan, they do not have to notify you that they are taking money out of your new account because you authorized them to take money out in the original agreement from your current or future accounts until the balance was paid in full.

However, there is a loop hole that you can use to beat them. Just to give you a little information that you need to be aware of - LTS Management/Westbury Ventures is the collection agency and by law they are not supposed to threaten you with legal action because they will never proceed with it. When they call and harass you, tell them to fuck off and not to call you again. If they do, you can sue them for harassment. Second, if you ever apply for another pay day loan, make sure there is no money in that account so they cannot debit it. Use the account to receive money only, then deposit or transfer into another account. Also, try giving them a savings account without telling them it is a savings account. They are not allowed to deduct from a savings account.

If you do exactly what I said they will leave your ass alone and you just got some free money. Do not differ from this advice. All others are wrong, including emiddlebrooks advice from the attorney. Her Attorney has not read the contract and is not aware of the wording. It is binding and they will use every method to track you down and get your money. BE WARNED!

Subject: MORE INFORMATION

A little more information for you: Westbury Ventures is a DE corporation, but they are located in downtown Kansas City MO.

Laura gave some great information, but it is not valid for this type of a loan. Validation only works when they report to a credit agency and they do not... NOT EVER! Stop worrying about them, tell them to stop calling or that you'll sue for harassment, and that you only want to receive correspondence by mail. Trash their letters, move on, an forget about it.

Thanks for the info Former. Also welcome to the forum. You can not double post here but I can see the reasoning since it has to do with the same topic. Do you have the right address for these people because I googled and did not see an ything that places them in MO. I do see that they operate from numerous states.

Try going to the bbb website and looking them up there, they usually have up to date information.

Yeah me too, I have found a lot of good advice here, I have been scanning the letters, there are folks here that put a lot of time into those sample letters, you can just copy them off and paste in your own information. thought that was pretty cool.
