Mountain loan centers Harrassment of myself, my family, my freinds, my work. Threats and illegal fees as well as summons service. salt lake city, Utah

I think once you have gotten quadruple money paid back the idea of stealing your money is silly.

Its too bad people don't know that you can not threaten jail. All they can do is garnish. I was considering a loan but no more.

Mountain Loan Center is a liar! I have a loan with them and after my husband was without work for 4 months and we got behind on payments they have done nothing but harrassed me and my family (references). I want to give them money but they won't take it. They refuse to take it. How can I pay them back if they refuse to take money from me? This is absolutely ridiculous!!

You say all this is not true? I'm not doubting your word, but I'm wondering about these people who try to arrange partial payments, and your refusing them?  Does all the verbal abuse really go on from mountain loan centers? I've all ready talked to you about a loan, now I'm getting a little scared about this. All of us people with bad credit are not thieves or liars. The economy just doesn't work like it used to. Most of my not so good credit comes from outrageous medical bills, and trying to keep my house from foreclosure. Just needed to interject. All you could say is it's simply not true.

I just took out a loan knowing that it would be high interest, but d**n, A $350 loan is ending up costing me $2,026 with bi-monthly payments of $65 (130/month). How is this legal? I'm paying off early but it's still costing me $500 to payoff within 3 weeks of taking the loan. Total scam and robbery. They did pull my credit after telling me they don't go off credit. Each time someone pulls credit it can lower your score. It was explained to me by them that they want to help build credit; complete lie. 

If you do have to deal with this joke of a company I suggest educating yourself on repayment laws. They have to send you to collections if you are 30 DAYS late. At this point they have to (by law) to accept partial payment. The best thing to do is sens a request IN WRITING with a partial payment CHECK OR CASHIERS CHECK/ ANYTHING TRACABLE. If they refuse this you can fight them and not have to pay a dime.

When you get a loan from Mountain Loan Centers you should be aware that they are charging you more than 400% interest and consider whether you want to pay a company so much money to loan you a little in a crisis.  Certainly, most people use these type of loan companies when they are desparate and do not have other options.  If you have no other choice, borrow only what you can pay back in a very short period of time without exception. 

My question to Mountain Loan Center is this.  

Consumers have claimed you are unwilling to accept partial or lower payments and that after refusing such type of payments from the consumer, you harass contacts, threaten warrants, etc.  Is that true or untrue?  

While you are entitled to repayment - and you will collect the amount you are owed pursuant to a contract - why would you not be willing to accept late or partial payments?  Not accepting those type of payments looks like you are trying to drive your interest on an already high interest rate loan up.  Why would you do that?  

Do you really harass family and friends who did not sign up to receive your phone calls?  How do you justify harassing innoncent people?  

If you are pursuing legal action, why would you and/or your employees threaten jail and engage in verbally unprofessional exchanges?  What do you hope to gain from doing that?

Those behaviors seem to be the concern - not the terms of a loan agreement.

Obviously there is a reason that there are so many reports about this awful "company". I got a loan from this "company" because i needed to pay my rent and my next payday was after my rent was due. I made ontime payments consistently,  and then was late on ONE payment because of circumstances beyond my control. My interest was then raised to a heinous percentage,  therefore making it so I could not afford my regular payments. I continued to call in every week and make $150 payments. 

I then started hearing from my family and friends and coworkers that they were getting harassing phone calls from some guy named "Adam" and some lady named "Shelly" saying that I was refusing to pay them and that they were going to take me to court because I was stole money from them. ( even though I was still making weekly payments) After hearing these things, I called the company and asked to speak to a managerafter the first line of people were telling me they couldnt do anything about my situation.  The woman I spoke to next was by far the worst human being I have ever come in contact with as a consumer. She started out by saying that I was stealing from the company and that my payments were not helping and that I "might as well stop paying" because they were going to sue me anyway. She was very harassing, calling me other names such as "bit*h", "leech", and "theif". 

After this encounter, I refused to speak to anyone from this company. I signed up with a debt consolidation company just to get these people off mu back, and still pay off my debt. After multiple attempts from those representing me trying to contact the company to try settle and pay off the debt, they came to me saying that every attempt to contacts them was met by mountain loan center employees hanging up on them, yelling profanities,  and telling them to "fu*k off", because they dont work with companies trying to help people pay off their debt because the people "deserve their debt and situations". 

Since then, I have not received any communication at all from mountain loan center. What I have received is multiple letters from attorneys saying that there has been a judgement entered against me for over FIVE TIMES the amount that I borrowed. To make matters worse, I never got served with any sort of summons or ccommunication from any court with a court date or anything saying I was even getting sued. 

I now am in the process of filing bankruptcy because of this company. They are BY FAR the worst company in existence.  I hope someone sees this and will refuse to do business with them.  Its not worth all the time and pain and harassment. 

I borrowed $150 and was paying on it for several months on time. I was late one time because of an insurance payment I had to have come first and because of that it went up to over 300 dollars in the matter of 3-4 days... after that I couldnt afford the higher payment. When I called to ask them to work out a lower payment they told me no and that it was going to keep going up? I was paying them there amount on time for 3 months strait and because I had to be a couple days late it screwed me over! They were very rude un professional and so I told them to sue me then since I could not affored it any more "nothing else I could do since they didnt want to make any kind of arrangements" Finally one lady called me and said she would talk to someone about payment arrangments for me. Next thing I know about 3 weeks later I was being served at my work for a garnishment. I was not even served a court paper first. I called them and they said the guy who "claimes" he served me came to my front door and gave them to me personally. Funny how that could happen when I live in the basement and I have a different entrance that is located in the back of the house? I saw that several people never got served, talk about shaddy. I filled out a complaint and sent it to the court and with in a day the lawyer called me to make payment arrangments so that we wouldnt have to go to court. He was actually very nice and he said that he wouldnt charge me any of his fees and he was willing to let me pay whatever I could affored a month. Im sure he new how messed up this company is and he felt bad my loan went from $150 dollars to 1,000.00 talk about ripping someone off. Oh and I loved this statement from one of the collectors. "So we borrowed you money and you dont want to pay it back, your steeling from us then." and my replay. "Well I have already payed you back $300 dollars since I have borrowed the $150... so really you are steeling my money now" Such a sick company.

I received a loan from mountain loan center in salt lake city when I had a full time job making  a good amount of money for a 22 year old. When I called mountain loan centers to let them know I no longer had a job and that I was a full time student who only got paid monthly they could care less. When I asked if they could work with me to pay monthly instead of every 2 weeks the guy simply replied "nope". I am willing to pay, I just can't every 2 weeks. They are very greedy with their late fees and want to keep you on that payment cycle to get more money out of you. They sound very rude every time I call and are not professional in any way. Maybe that's why they aren't accredited through the BBB....

Apparently I've Been Sued By This Company. I just received a letter from an attorney who is going to represent me. according to their letter, I have been sued by Mountains Loan Center. I never received a summons from the state or any official paperwork from mountain loan centers. I received several abusive calls over the last 2 months. I've attempted to set up arrangements with mountain loan center but they were never accepted. it's bizarre to me because there should be some sort of relief effort to help both the company and consumer in situations like this. I didn't take the full amount that I could have because I fully intend on paying the loan back. its a win win situation either way from Mount loan center because they have the ability to collect according to the contract now or later. it's better for them to wait and let these things go default making no attempt to help the consumer get back on their feet by making arrangement. I've been harassed. told that I was going to jail. that  a warrent was going to be issued for my arrest.  needless to say I will be hiring an attorney. I hope they have all their ducks in a row.

Mountain Loan Centers is a finance company. We have consumer loans that fully comply with all federal and laws of the State of Utah.

When anyone borrows money, there is an interest rate. Interest always accrues daily. The longer you take to pay off a loan the more it will end up costing.

Now, when someone fails to pay there is a late fee as stipulated in both our contract that is $30.00 that is not unreasonable but should be expected. this fee is fully disclosed in our contract.

The reality is that some people ignore there promissory note and fail to pay as they agree. At that time a finance company has only 2 options.

Option 1) ignore the balance and let the customer keep the money and never try to collect it back 9this is like getting a gift)

or 

Option 2) collect on the note.

Mountain Loan Centers chooses always to collect on the note. We cannot afford to give away free money. 

Our contracts do not read to have the balance "double overnight" that is just silly, and they are speaking out of frustration.
