Money Mutual Payday Lending Referral Site Sued


Please be advised that a Class Action has been filed against Money Mutual DELETED..PM and related entities and individuals. The lawsuit alleges that in past years Money Mutual knowingly referred California residents to illegal offshore lenders.

If you are a California resident and obtained a loan with an offshore lender through the Money Mutual website, please contact my office as soon as possible. Even if you are not a California resident, your information would be useful.

The lawsuit is pending in the State of California, Alameda County Superior Court.

Jeffrey Wilens, Esq.
DELETED...PM

I don't know who you are Paul Mergel but I am a 27 year attorney, which you can verify on the California State Bar's website. I can't post my website link per forum rules but anyone can Google me and see the many consumer class actions I have successfully brought.

Secondly, there is a lawsuit against Money Mutual. Again go to the Alameda County Superior Court and look it up. It is case RG12652919. Has been filed for some time. I will post it if given permission to do so.

Thirdly, I am here in good faith to obtain information from victims of Money Mutual. Why are you here?

Fourthly, each of my other posts as also relevant to a pending lawsuit. I suggest you butt out if you have nothing constructive to offer.

Note: [FONT=helvetica][SIZE=-1]Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure ?? 1161.2, no information regarding unlawful detainer matters is available until 60 days after the date the complaint was filed. If the statute does not apply to you, contact the applicable court location.

[SIZE=-1]I [SIZE=-1]looked up the case and got this error. If you are [SIZE=-1]legit and going af[SIZE=-1]ter these guys that is great news.

Waffles,

You have to go to the Alameda County Superior Court website, then to online services, then to Domain Web, then case summary, then type in the case number. That will take you to the docket and related documents. I think you were looking in the wrong section if you pulled up an unlawful detainer case.

I can PM you the filed complaint if that is allowed.

When you follow your instructions: right off the Alameda County Superior Court site:

Case number: RG12652919
Title: Pham VS JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
Case Type: Civil
Complaint Type: Business Tort/Unfair Business Practice
Case Subtype: General Civil
Filing Date: 10/22/12
Filing Location: Rene C. Davidson Alameda County Courthouse

Doesn't look like it has anything to do with Money Mutual... ??

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. On the website it allows you to click on the names of the plaintiffs and the defendants. You just clicked on General Information tab. If you now click on the Parties tab you would see the following:

Plaintiff Dinah Pham Wilens, Jeffrey
Plaintiff
Paula Bernal Wilens, Jeffrey
Defendant
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
Defendant
Moneymutual
Defendant
Effective Marketing Solutions, LLC
Defendant
Montel Brian Anthony Williams
Defendant
Aaron Shoaf
Defendant
Cash Yes
Defendant
Gateway Holdings Group LLC
Defendant
Horizon Opportunties Group, LLC
Defendant
SCS Processing,LLC
Defendant Payday Valet
Defendant
VIP PDL Services, LLC


Also, you can click on Register of Actions and download the First Amended Complaint. Or I can post it here if someone will tell me how to do that.

I don't understand why the posters here are so hostile. I'm on your side and some of you are acting like I am a payday lender. Some of you need to stop acting like a child.

What I found now at least makes sense:

This is all that shows up when do search, so it looks like a suit between the two only: Title: Pham VS JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Your list the 2 Plaintif's whole names and all of the Defendants..

You may be able to cut and paste or hyper link the information from the First Amended Complaint..

Paul,

You don't know what hell you are talking about so I am not going to waste anymore time with you. The other poster from Arizona already viewed all the parties including Money Mutual. You just didn't follow the instructions on how to use the court website.

I have filed all these cases but I don't have any discovery yet, which is the process of obtaining information from the defendants and which takes many months. Any competent attorney would use the Internet to locate information quicker if possible, including from other victims. Your statement that I would have the names and contact information for other victims mere weeks after filing the lawsuits is simply wrong and no doubt Defendants would oppose the disclose of that information strenuously. I could try to explain to you what a class action is, but why bother?

Ignorance is one thing but due to your insults and false information I am wondering if you have some hidden agenda to interfere with my efforts. Now what would that be?

@jeffreywilens - first off I went in and viewed the documents, I did not take time to read them over with a fine tooth comb, I don't know what you are on here looking for, but I can tell you if you are going to some how try to pit us against each other on here that would be a bad mistake, even if we have never met each other - some of us already look at others on here as family - they have been here for us in some of our darkest times.. not you - who from what I can see and what you have PM'd me is only to drive up information for your so called suit. So you ask why we are becoming defensive this may be why....
Also, please do not PM me again!

Paul,

I will violate my rule of not feeding trolls one time and that's it. NONE of the lenders listed in the Pham lawsuit are tribal lenders. They are all based inBelize or other countries. So, again, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Further, I already filed the class action despite your previous claims I had not so you were proven wrong on that too.

Now enough of this Paul guy. Please, actual victims of Money Mutual and offshore lenders (not tribal lender, offshore lenders) who were affiliated with Money Mutual please contact me. It's not like I am asking for any money from you, nor am I agreeing to represent you in court. You have nothing to lose by helping me identify other offshore lenders who were affiliated with Money Mutual. And if the case is successful and you are a California resident you might get money back as a member of the Class.

If you are not a California resident, I'm sorry but the lawsuit is under California law. As you know, each state's law is different with respect to Payday loans. But maybe if this lawsuit is successful a similar approach could be used in your own state.


Here are the lenders identified in this particular lawsuit, copied and pasted from the filed complaint:

10. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant CASH YES is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a business of unknown form based in Belize City, Belize, Central America and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of California and United
States. It has not designated a principle place of business in California.

11. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant GATEWAY HOLDINGS GROUP LLC is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a business of unknown form based in Charleston, Nevis, West Indies and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of
California and United States. It has not designated a principle place of business in California.

12. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant HORIZON OPPORTUNITIES GROUP, LLC, is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a business of unknown form based in Charleston, Nevis, West Indies and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of California and United States. It has not designated a principle place of
business in California.

13. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant SCS PROCESSING, LLC, is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a corporation based in Charlestown, Nevis, West Indies and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of California and
United States. It has not designated a principle place of business in California.

14. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant PAYDAY VALET, is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a corporation based in Isle of Man, United Kingdom and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of California and United States. It has not designated a principle place of business in California.

15. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and thereupon alleges, that Defendant VIP PDL SERVICES, LLC, is now, and at all times mentioned in this Complaint was, a corporation based in Charlestown, Nevis, West Indies and doing business in the County of Alameda, State of California, and throughout the State of California and
United States. It has not designated a principle place of business in California.

Despite some strange posts above, this lawsuit is continuing against Money Mutual and its related companies as well as Montel Williams.

Although we have been forced to take the individual lenders to arbitration (where we have experienced tremendous success), Money Mutual cannot force arbitration.

The class action is mentioned in an article on the Law360 website.  I guess links are not allowed but you can find the article by going to that website which is part of Lexis-Nexis.
