Westbury Ventures debited my checking account

I will explain this problem to the bank. They will put a dispute with Westbury and verify the charges. Since you are sure that it is an unauthorized debit, your bank will be able to revert the money back to your account. There are many stories on Westbury Ventures on this forum. File your complaints with the attorney general????????s office and the local BBB and request them to investigate Westbury.

lucky, while searching around on pdl sites, did you put in your bank account information? Even though you didn't "sign" anything, did you put your account information in? I'm thinking one of the pdl sites you were searching on is apparently affiliated with Westbury. They then got your new bank information and sucked out the money they thought you owed them. However, do go to your bank and dispute the charge. If you act quickly enough, they should be able to reverse it back. However, Westbury now has your new bank account information. Not good. You might really want to consider doing something about that bank account now. They can hit it again and again since they have the information.

Eek, unfortunately when I applied for those loans I did put the account info in there....I'll visit my bank on Monday and see if I can dispute the debit. :?

And please please try to find another way to handle your shortage other than going to a payday lender...:)

lucky, you might want to consider closing that account. Now that Westbury has your information, others may also have it. Please let us know how it goes regarding that bank account and getting that debit reversed. Honestly, they didn't have authorization to debit that account, but you know how pdl's are. And another reason I say that about closing the account is other pdl's might just "deposit money" into your account without your knowledge, then here we go with the cycle of paying back again. Let us know how it goes!

Lucky bear did you get your money back from the bank cause I'm going through this same thing
