I received a $360.00 loan from MyCashnow.com on July 3rd, 2009. I was unable to pay the money back in the time period they allowed me. The interest was outrageous and building up.
In December 2009, I set a payment plan with my cashnow to take $50 biweekly out of my account. The settlement amount we agreed on was $652.23. I paid mycashnow $100 in December 09, January 10, February 10. I called in March of 2010 to check on my balance and they had stopped taking money out of my account due to ISF, I then paid them the past $150 that should have been taken out so I was caught up to my payments. I was told I had to go online and reset up my payment plans so they could continue to take out $50 biweekly.
I did just that and they stopped taking money out of my account again. I received a letter in the mail from National Credit Adjusters saying that they would be able to offer me a substantial discount of 50% off my current balance which they said was $519.64. They wanted a payment of $259.82 and my account would be settled in full. I then contacted NCA on 6/7/10 and explained to them that I had already had payment plans set up with mycashnow and every time I have tried to call them that I only got a disconnected sound.
I called mycashnow numerous times with no response back. I explained to NCA that I have proof that mycashnow was taking money out of my account and I only owed $252.23. I told NCA that I would make payment arrangements to pay the $259.64 and it was denied. I then told him he will have to take me to court, they responded with an okay and hung up.
On 10/6/10, I received a call from an unknown number and spoke to a lady saying she was representing mycashnow and wanted to know if I could pay $519 before it gets sent to court. I told her absolutely not; I have already discussed this with NCA and I have tried numerous times to contact mycashnow and have received no response from them. She kept putting me on hold so she could talk to the attorneys to see if they could settle for a lesser amount. I then got transferred to a Jeremy **. He told me I could pay $333 today or pay $222 every month for three months. I told him absolutely not.
I then explained to him the amount of money I owed and the situation from NCA and the situation from mycashnow and he then put me on hold so he could talk to his attorneys. He got back on the phone and I asked him why his company didn't send me a letter in the mail saying he was representing mycashnow and he said he didn't have to as this was just one last attempt to see if I could pay it off so I didn't have to go to court. I then asked him how he could say I was being charged with fraud when he had no idea whether or not I had intentions of paying it back or not. He replied and said that it would have been paid off and we are trying to collect it so you don't go to court. He told me that the attorneys he spoke to would settle for the amount I owed of $252.23 as long as I faxed in my bank statements proving that mycashnow was taking money out of my account.
We agreed that he would receive a payment of $100 on October 14th, and $152.23 on October 28th. I asked him for his address so I could send a money order in; he said they don't accept any mail orders because they could get lost in the mail and only accept visa checkcard/debit card. I said well I'm sorry I am only able to send in a money order. He then responded and said," well, good luck in court, you can call me back if you change your mind", and hung up.
