Legal question: On a debt and whats ligitimate?

April 10th, 2010

I don’t need anyone putting me down and calling me a deadbeat PLEASE just some advise!!
In may of 2008 I had a payday loan through a on line company (bad idea I now know) they were to take the payment out of my checking, when they tried to take the money they notified me and said there was not enough to cover the payment. Turned out a direct deposit that was supposed to be made wasn’t. I said I would mail a money order which I did. I thought this was cleared up. I have looked high and low for my M.O. receipt and I cant find it, therefore if said company says they didn’t receive the payment then I do feel obligated to pay it yet again as its my bad that i lost my proof of payment…

Now over a year later i get a call from a company Eclipse Resolutions LLC in New York they have a called 4 or 5 times and leave a message I have tried to return their calls to find out what it was they wanted. When I did get a answer the person I was supposed to talk with was never around and there was no voice mail. So I continued to try and reach someone. I called this AM and spoke with someone they are calling in regards to the payday advance I described. I told them I need to see some documentation, something in writing…. OK fine but the secretary was out maybe if I call back the next day they can email or fax me something.. so I chat with this person for a bit, I expressed that IF I receive something in writing and this seems valid I can work out some type of agreement. But I was not unwilling to just send them money…. His response was “well you have screwed up get a lawyer” and he hung up on me…
So I called back spoke with someone else (at that point I still didn’t know what company I was dealing with) I tried to talk with him and was interrupted a number of times unable to ever finish a sentence, he then told me that If I didn’t call back tomorrow and set up a payment agreement and get them a payment via, checking account or debit/credit card by the 3rd that they were sending paper work to my County because I wrote a bad check across state lines and committed a felony offense. I told him again that if they sent me something in writing to validate the debt I would work out a plan to pay the debt starting 8/15 the earliest I would have money available.. He then proceeded to tell me that they were trying to work with me and it was what it was, if i didn’t have the money to them by the 3rd then i can expect it to be turned over to the county and he could no longer speak with me as he was leaving the office and the soonest I could get something in writing was via fax or email tomorrow IF I called them tomorrow and he wouldn’t even take my contact info (email/fax/mailing) so that first thing tomorrow they could get it sent to me. I also asked why I had not received anything up to this date and his response was they will not waste money mailing me a bill.

I am wondering if you can please tell me how to handle this situation? like I said if the original company claims they didn’t receive payment then I feel obligated to pay it. But I also do not have a good feeling about this other company. I am at a loss at this point and unsure what to do.
I have been trying to research this company and have came up empty handed. When they leave a message they say a name, and a call back number and case number: xxxxxx
The company that has been calling me is:
Elcipse Resolutions LLC a litigation company
Tonawanda, New York
1-888-368-1116

I appreciate any advise that you can give me. I have contacted a lawyer for his advise but haven’t heard back yet…

Thank you very much for your time.
I did use cash for the money order, to clear up the mistake with my checking account. but i can not find the reciept from the money order

Debt Collection Help?

February 25th, 2010

I have a past due debt and Collector called me (collector is calling from a law firm), they want to set up a payment plan with me, but the amount they are asking per month is too much. I told them the amount I can afford to pay per month and they said it’s too low. They are asking for atleast $100 but I can only afford $30 per month due to other outstanding bills. I am only making enough to pay some bills and I have been getting a pay day loan every pay day just to get by. My hours at work have been cut and I can’t afford a baby sitter for my 1 yr old so I can’t work full time. Well, the collector said that if we can’t agree on a payment then they will have to resort to something else. Can’t remember what he said but from what I understand is that some legal action will take place. I don’t understand why they can’t just accept what I can give them. He’s also asking for a lump sum but i can’t give him a lump sum more than $50 right now, my car is broken i have to find a way to get that fixed too! Can someone give me advice, I want to pay this debt off, I know I owe it, but cannot give them more than $30 per month, I have a baby to feed, can’t even afford rent! I’m really broke I don’t know what to do I don’t want to get sued, can they sue me if they refuse to accept my offer?
I checked the law firms website, looks pretty legit, his name is Marvin S. C. Dang, got his resume and everything…didn’t speak to him but someone else that works there. They specialize in this stuff…does this mean anything? Do They have any control or should I go thru a debt settlement company? I check the statues of limitation in my state and it has not expired yet.

Can a debt consolidation attorney represent me if they are not licensed to practice law in my state?

January 24th, 2010

I am trying to get myself out of debt with pay day loans. I found a law office in PA that helps with this specifically. The problem is that I am in TX and I am not sure if they legally can help me. I don’t want to push the laws. Thanks in advance for any answers!
