PDL Assistance Rips People Off!! I'm Filing a Complaint with Alabama Attorney General's Office...you should too! Mobile Alabama

I am scheduled to have 2 more of my accounts paid this Fri. thru PDL Assistance. This will make a total of 4 out of 10 pdl's paid off. In addition, the remaining 6 have been negotiated and are scheduled to be paid June 30, the end of this month.

For me, PDL Assistance has been a lifesaver. I am sorry it hasn't worked out for some and don't understand why it hasn't, if you follow the steps. NOTE: The original lender CAN still call you (I still get calls from Ameriloan, even though this account has been negotiated and is scheduled to be paid this month) but collection agencies have NOT been calling me once I sent the cease & desist letter, per PDL Assistance's instructions.

It has taken a year, but in the meantime I have NOT been getting the harassing calls I would have gotten otherwise. It is true you can do this yourself and it probably would have taken about the same length of time. You could save $$ on fees - UNLESS you don't negotiate as low a settlement as PDL Assistance would. And unless you have nerves of steel, you'd probably end up settling for a higher amount to pay off your loan to stop the calls. And some of the illegal internet payday loan co.'s would still profit because they'd still get paid over and above the principal amount of the loan.

I also found it unnerving not knowing what scare tactics are real and what are bogus, or just bluffing, when I got initial calls from collection agencies.
