Advice on Westbery Ventures

I am having the same problem with them. I borrowed $300 but have paid thenm back $800+. I get 1 to 2 emails a day from them. I'm still trying to figure out what to do so if i get any info i'll let you know.

You guys, do not let them scare you. They are just trying to frighten you into paying them. Please make sure you have filed complaints with your state's attorney generals against this illegal company. Tlemley, you have paid them back more than enough. What state are you in? You do not owe them anymore money.

Racer87, I answered your previous thread concering this matter. I am sorry that I have not been able to get to it sooner.

Again, do not be afraid, either one of you. Laugh at their emails. They are full of grammatical errors and such.....shows you what kind of people you are dealing with!

Heres there latest email:

READ AND RESPOND NOW!!!

sorry about the multiple posts don't know what happened???

See not all of them are full of misspelling and grammatical errors. That seemed pretty convincing doesn't it? I'd be scared too if it weren't for this website.

But they can't do squat to you, which is why they haven't done anything yet and also why they come off sounding all big and threatening...

Racer, I took care of the multiple posts. I got the exact same emails from them. Please don't even worry for a second about these. They aren't doing anything with your social security number and you have not committed internet fraud, or check fraud.

Ok just a observation.......... Are all these real people or are a couple people just using multiple names at Westbury Ventures. Most of the names I've come across just seem to basic if you understand what I mean!!
William Smith, Larry Foster, Jamie Bailey, Sarah Mack, Sharron Williams, P Harris, Brad Weathers, Thomas Rothrock, Ron Reynolds.

LOL, I am really not sure! My letters were from Martha Meza and Christina Hampton. There have been a LOT of people that have dealt with Sharon Williams and Brad Weathers. I would not be surprised if it really was one or two people that use these made up names!!!!

They just want to scare you into paying them. If they're illegal, they can't do anything to you. And yes, their emails are not the best written things :-D

If any fraud is going on it is that company. They are just trying to scare you.

Does anyone know if they are even Licensed in the state of Delaware??

I am not sure but I would HIGHLY doubt they were licensed anywhere.

called westbury today 1-800-859-6439 the # does not work

I am laughing so hard. Your extremities???? Are they going to download your arms or legs LOL! I am surprised TomMorrow hasnt written to you yet! OMG these people would be freekin hillarious if they didnt upset so many innocent people with their nonsense!

Which BBB did you file the complaint with? I filed mine with the BBB in Delaware, and a manager of Westbury called me within a week to offer an apology and a PIF letter. I honestly had not even paid the entire debt off--they just offered it based on the terrible treatment I was given. My advice to you is to send them a debt validation letter, certified mail. If you send it to the address in DE, someone will sign for it. Then just start ignoring them. If they won't work with you, don't work with them. They'll go away eventually.

Racer87 and tlemley many people here have dealt with Westbury. You may benefit by reading some of the other threads about Westbury/The Loan Shop. I dealt with them and got threatening letters. The last one I received I responded to. You can check it out here http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/kentucky/criminal-prosecution.html
After my response, I was contacted for a refund settlement the next day based on my filing with the BBB and request for a refund. Don't let them intimidate you. That is their main weapon against you. Once you render that ineffective, they most likely will work with you. Deal with them from a position of strenght. Do not give into them.

I have been dealing with DMSMarketing which is Westbury/Loanshop. It was an on-going e-mail correspondence until I filed a complaint with the BBB in Kansas City,Mo. The BBB got back to me in about a week and DMS agreed to stop all correspondence and send me a PIF letter. I have not received the letter but I have not had any e-mails from the either. So I am satified as of now.

Laura-I dealt with them a year ago.....They did the same thing to me. I filed a complaint with the BBB and they told me the same thing. I would get a PIF letter but I never did. I have not although gotten any emails/calls. I am satisfied with them so far..... :D

After harrassing me for 8 months this is the only thing that seemed to have stopped them. I hope...if I don't get a PIF letter they will probably try again. Although according to posts on this site they may be too busy to bother with me!

same here,only i get emails from chelsea keitel.
now i am in phase 3 collections whatever that is.
they are a joke. have filed complaints with ag,bbb,ftc,will see what happens.

Paul...they are a joke...I got phase 3 then it went on and on...threats that my account was going to be turned over to another department. I was told they would not be so nice..etc. Nothing changed and my account went no where. Just the same e-mails and no matter what I said "told them to take me to court" all kinds of things and I was just ignored. So I pray they will ignore now and forever.
