I called the number and they were conviently "closed". I left a message telling them to remove the deposit. That I have already contacted the BBB, FTC, my attorney, and my bank to stop any ACH to them after tomorrow. Cost me 24.00 to do so but I don't even know how much they will try to take out at one time! Never signed anything or sent them my info!

I called this number I got from someone's post 1888 302 5269 and press 1 and tell them u didn't want loan, they will reverse it next day. Just be careful with your info through the Internet and don't apply online bc ur info spreads through website to website and prob other people.

They do not have a legitamit address you will get it returned to you. You may have to close your account unless your bank can stop them from debiting your account. I had to close mine. When hydra fund tried to debit my account and couldn't they immediatley turned it over to a collection agency-So, I had the bank make a money order out payee Hydra fund for the exact amount deposited ( 200 ) and simply wrote a letter explaining I did not want this loan nor did I authorized or sign anything to do with it. That way I had an address to send it to ( collection agency )and I made sure I sent it certified so I would know they recieved it. I have not heard from them since and this was August of this year. Good Luck !!

Check out the predatory laws in your state. A bank worker at my local bank was very helpful. Visit your bank- they do not have the right to harass you

I'm going thru the same thing. I've never even heard of these people. I tried to talk to them and tell them I didn't apply for any payday loan and that I don't know how they received my info. The guy just got louder and louder and wouldn't let me talk. I'm so confused how these people got my info. They've even been harassing me at work- 30-40 calls on my cell a day. They're making me crazy. I just want to give them their money back and make them leave me alone but they're making it so difficult. Said I gotta pay fees for something I never even requested OR approved!!!

I just had the same happen to me, I called their 800 number and told them I did not want the money and to reverse the charges. And as long as the loan wasn't touched they just take their 300 and go. They said they would it would take a few days because of the holiday. This morning when I went to check my account 30 dollars was gone, which I assume was from them as I have been spending no money to make sure the money was there for them to take. Reading all of these complaints doesn't give me much hope as I haven't found one that has been resolved. I'm going to give them until Thursday and then I'm shutting down the account. I am too broke right now to have any kind of money taken out of my account that is not for use to pay for my expenses.

I had the same thing happen to me on the 9th and called and asked them to take back their money. This morning when I woke and checked my bank account 30 dollars was missing, which I assume is their doing. That puts me under the 300 they gave me, I get paid on Thursday so hopeful they'll at least wait until then to take back their money, I have a very bad feeling about this.

Heather, they did take their money back out and I had no other issues with them. I was sceptical though knowing they had my banking info, and closed the account anyway and opened another. Hope this helps.

I got up this morning and there was $300 in my account from this company of course it was unauthorized like you....here is the number that I actually was able to get a hold of 1-800-302-5282 and they said they were going to reverse it and I would get a confirmation email....which I have not gotten yet to be honest I never got any emails from them at all so how they got any of my information I am unsure of....I am really pissed and feel almost violated.....they said they would take back out the $300 in approx 2 days but I don't know if I wait or go in and close down my account all the way......

Be careful. My bank stopped payment on their debits and now they are trying to sue me for check fraud. Hope you have a better bank than I do.

I went to my bank and talked to a customer service person, who called Hydra Fund customer service and they agreed to take the $300. back and cancel my loan, that I never authorized. According to them and also the bank's customer service person, it is legal to do this when you apply for a loan online. Multiple companies get you application and they can automatically give you a loan and sign your name electronically. Doesn't seem legal to me !

The customer service phone number for Hydra Fund is: 888-302-5282.

Yea my bank temporarily stopped them from withdrawing money and did an investigation, but somehow found them legit(Inappropriate Content Removed). I may have to just close my account but then they might just sue me, I don't know what to do man. No one seems to have a solution.

I would like join you filing a complaint too. This is (Inappropriate Content Removed)and they shouldn't be getting away with it. There's strength in numbers, the more people get together and fight the better our chances of getting results.
Submitted by Ian on Oct 23rd, 2014
Yea it sucks. The exact same thing happened to me.
Submitted by Ian on Oct 23rd, 2014
If you call 888-302-5351 and dial 1 just tell the customer service people you never asked for a loan and you want them to take their money back. Its a scam, if you applied for any loans online and gave out your bank info it apparently gets shared and they can e-sign your name on a loan application and theres no way to prove it wasn't you.
