Route 66 and other evil payday lenders

Did you figure out how much you have already paid on the account? This pdl company is in violation of many federal and state laws. They will always insist you to pay more than actual, because they don't follow the laws mentioned in any state. Besides, they aren't licensed in most states. What do you think next?

I got the loan in Sept 06 and have paid over $540.00 to Route 66 and almost $500.00 in overdraft fees from my bank because they kept trying to debit my account. I live in Washington State and I am unsure what their laws are in relation to online payday loans...or what my other options are...should I file a report with the AG?

Go to this website and look up the payday lending laws for your state.paydayloaninfo.org. Yes, you should file a complaint with your AG's office.

This company contacted me after more than SIX months after my original loan. My checking account has been closed that long and I thought they were paid in full. Out of the blue, I get a phone call from a guy with heavy Indian accent. He tried to tell me I owed $1350 on original loan amount of $225.00. He was rude and confrontational. Kept saying, "Are you calling me a liar???" When I would ask him to repeat something he would say, "Are you saying my English is bad?" Anyway, I called my attorney who told me to ask them for an itemization. They would not provide it. I called back later in the evening and got a different guy. Clearly, they are in the UK and this guy even told me so. He reluctantly gave me their MoneyGram info. I suggest IF you owe them anything, you make them send you an e-mail or letter stating that what you plan to send will close your account. Here is the info:

If they actually have a Western Union address in Reno, I wonder if they have a drop box there. I know that Cash Today's is on Terminal Way and I wonder if they are the same. Would be interesting to find out.
