FlagI had someone come to my job and ask for me but they only gave there first name and nothing else about themself. i also have been reciving phone calls to. I closed my account 6 years ago because paday loan was taking money out of my account more than once.
Where did you obtain the Pay Day Loan, via Internet, in Pennsylvania, or elsewhere? Did you sign any documents to obtain the loan? When was the last payment made by you? All of these questions are important in responding. I do not beleive Pennsylvania licenses Pay Day lenders. Pennsylvania has a usury statue fixing the maximum interest rate which can be charged in PA. Because of this all of these lenders are licensed outside PA, many in the State of Delaware which has no usury laws. There is a legislative push on to license Pay Day loans. suggest you contact your legislators and urge them to vote no on this issue as the alleged "benefits" are to ligitimatize a business which caters to those PA residents who can least afford to lose the protections against these less than savory business enterprises.
