2 Bad Bussiness Companies


I am currently dealing with both SJM Marketing and Telmerica,both of which is h***. SJM Marketing for starters drafted my acoount for $250.00 a week before payment was scheduled for payment and when I found out about the issue I place several phone calls, e-mails and faxs (none of which have been returned yet) about the matter. I have been charged return payment fees twice this week from my bank because even after placing a stop payment on SJM they still attempt to draft my account (the stop payment was not posted til after 12 noon but they attempted before then). On 12/16/2005 when SJM first drafted my account I was scheduled for repayment for Telmerica but SJM beat them to the cash and when they attempted to draft my account the money was no available which caused me again to be charged by them and my bank. Telmerica contacted me twice at my place of employment (after being asked not to call0 and demands $502.00 for a $200.00 loan. I was scheduled to pay them this Friday but once I seen SJM was still attempting to draft my savings account, I placed a stop payment on both companys. I have contacted Telmerica to attempt to reach a payment agreement but they refuse to work with me. I explained my situation and why I had to place a stop payment and they basically told me they don't give a h*** and all they want is to be paid $502 12/23/2005 or they will continue to call and Iwill still be accuring finance charges until they have been paid fully. I paln on contacting my bank tomorrow to place a despite about the $250 that was drafted on 12/16/2005 because me loan agreemnet with SJM stated a repayment date of 12/23/2005. I am very stressed right now because I don't want to have my whole check drafted form one of these companys but I don't know the least about writting a dispute letter (advise please) or anything concerning with this matter. I have a good job and I don't want me employer getting involve but I feel SJM and/or Telmerica is going to call my boss. I need so advise and my advise to eveyone able who is able to read this post: DO NOT TAKE OUT A PAYDAY LOAN!!! :cry: They are quick to give but when it comes to repayment they send yo thru h*** and hot water. SJM Marketing is a trash company and Telmerica tries to scare you. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE COMPANIES. I wish I would have came across this website before I place the loan applications because I wouldn't have dealt with any loan company, if I knew what I know now!!!!!


Pebbles,

Consider few things:

  • Contact small claim court in your state for this matter. Small claim court is self help center; you need not hire any attorney to file your suit. However, you can avail legal consultation before going there.

  • Contact consumer protection agency of your state. It is the state attorney general's office in some cases.

  • File complaint with FTC, BBB.

Bryan,

Thanks for the advice. I just placed a complaint with the FTC and BBB. What should I do next. SJM Marketing is still attempting to draft my account even after placing a stop payment. The bank stated that if they draft under a different name or changes account their attempting to take, it would be hard to stop them. I withdrew all my funds to keep them from taking all my savings but every other day they are charging me over draft fees at the bank because of this company. I can't close the account because I have direct deposit. Platinum B. Services will not return my calls and when I do get a rep. on the phone they are rude, disrespectful and always transfer me to someone else (voicemail). World Wide is attempting to work with me about my outstanding loan (only after placing a stop payment and explaing the situation). I NEED HELP

Hi Ms Pebbles

I am sorry to hear the problem you are facing. Contact your bank and ask them to block the ID code of the company. Every bank has an ID code of the company and if this is blocked, the company cannot take out money and make unauthorized debits from your account even by using different names.

Hope you get some help from your bank this time. Do let us know about it.

Regards
Roxette

I am sorry that you are in this payday loan situation, Ms. Pebbles. It is rough, and many people at this forum have been in the same place. I would suggest as roxette has, contact your bank and let them help you. Keep us updated as to how it goes. We are glad that you are a part of this forum! You can help other people in the same situation, and we appreciate that :)
