National Payday
Complaint 536 Details

I had applied for a payday loan and was contacted by a woman named Janet who was calling from National Payday Loans LLC, stating that I was approved for a payday loan starting at $600-$6000. She stated that I would need to come up with 10% of what I had wanted to borrow, and what my payments would be monthly. She stated that they wanted to save their customers money, as well as any fees that a bank my charge, by dealing through Western Union. She told me where to send the money - India, to a Madan Lal, and that she would stay on the line with me while I was completing the transaction. She was extremely persistant calling me at least 5 times in an hour timespan to see if I had arrived at a Western Union location. She told me that once they had gotten the MTCN from the transaction, I would have my agreed amount of $2000 within 20-45 minutes. She placed me on hold, stating that she needed to give my information to "accounts receivable" and that within 20 minutes a loan rep would be calling me to confirm some information.. he never called until the following day. The rep that called me back was Mike Hyden who then advised me that I needed to western union them another $169. to receive my agreed loan amount. Telling me that I would receive the $169 back when I was sent the money via wester union. After having sent the money AGAIN, I called him back to give him the rqstd information only to be placed on hold and conveniently, was disconnected. It took me approx an hour to get him back on the phone. He told me that my money was there and ready to be picked up, however, it was not.. and I have been trying to get ahold of him since.. (202)241-9140 - all I manage to get are recordings that all customer svc reps are busy to either call back or someone will call me back.. I want these people to be exposed for the scumbags scammers that they are!!!
