Westlake Financial Services I almost go to the Hospital for their treats, is there any protection for us the consumers about this ? Los Angeles, California

Well the first and foremost are these two:
-Pay on time, of course. Before using these services set up a game-plan about how much you will pay in what time frame and make SURE you can stick to it. Be prepared in advance.
-Do not use Money Advancing services period. They just are NOT worth it, you will only dig a deeper hole for yourself. Please, PLEASE do not use these services ever!!!

Now these won't help you now, so here's a few more suggestions:
-These Money Advancing services are not allowed to harass you like that, but to prove it you may have to do a little digging in your states legislature. Then show it to them and tell them to back off.
-Ignore the harassment with indifference. Keep everyone but yourself from responding to them and then when they use these high-pressure tactics act indifferent and monotone to them.
-Pay it off as soon as possible and let them know verrrrry clearly before and after you pay them that because of their tactics they will never be allowed near a dime of your money again EVER.
-Call some lawyers who specialize in this, or even call Clark Howard or someone similar. These people know the law inside and out and can't be scared. Most lawyers will only be paid from any settlement you recieve from the company, so you don't have much to lose by trying to get an agreement with them.

Hope this helped, Good luck!

Here we go again!  You want to stop them from calling you?  There's a guaranteed, 100% perfect solution!  Just do this and 100% of the calls will stop.  Its called PAY ON TIME!

If you don't have the money to make the payments, then you get a second job or part time job to earn money so that you can pay what YOU PROMISED to pay, WHEN you promised to pay it.  How hard is that to understand???
