I beleive this company is fraud and service rep VERY RUDE !!

I received a call from 844-454-**** claiming to be Western Sky and that I have loan from 8yrs ago. The rep Ms Eva was very rude and unprofessional. They threaten me to summons me to court if I did not pay the loan. They offered me a settlement and when suggested a payment plan they refused the settlement. They were send me an email regarding the payment plan and I never received which I gave then 2 different emails. I called several times to advise that I have received any emails. Rep advise me to handle it court. I advise that I also claimed bankruptcy a couple years ago and she said this was not included. I advised her it would be included if I owed it. I believe this company is fraud!! They advise me I place this loan on line and funds were direct deposit which I don't recall ever doing. They could not even provider name of bank where this $$ went to so I can research if this was valid. They rep just very threating and rude!!!

Very rude this company and hard to work with on getting any ansers!!

I received a call saying that I owed money for an outstanding loan that is 8yrs old. I spoke with rep Ms. Eva and she was very rude. She threaten me of have a summons sent to me to go to court if I don't handle the matter. Then I was offer a settlement of approximately 1000.00 dollars less then what I supposedly owed. Then when I said I could about making payments if this something that I owe. The she was able offer me the settlement. She was to send me email regarding a payment option and I never received it. I reached out to her several times regarding this. I gave her 2 valid emails 1 business and email and personal. She advised me that was my problem not hers and handle it in court. My personal opinion is that she did not send the email at all. She was very rude and unprofessional and she was upset because I've called several times regarding this matter. She just wanted me off the phone and was hesitant to give me any further information and refused to assist me.

Not willing to give me any information

Apparently I settled a loan with a collection agency that deals with western sky. A mediation firm 360-787-**** called me and said the company wasn't allowed to settle with me and because I didn't get anything in writing I would be responsible for the remaining 424.07. Please help me with this. They talking about showing up at my place of employment. When I asked the guy how is that my fault and I feel like this is a scam he stated he will let the county deal with this. I don't believe I am responsible if I was told I settled out with the 1090.00 I paid and now you are trying to get more. Then I asked if he could send me something to show if this was legit and he confirmed my email. Then he tried to explain it to me again that the company wasn't allowed to settle and when I told him that it's not my fault if I dealt with a collection agency and then they decide they weren't suppose to settle he got angry and was like I will let the county deal with it.

I received a phone call today from Western Sky 866-783-****

They are claiming that they are trying to serve me with papers for a loan at the beginning of 2012. I went through a bankruptcy case that finalized in February 2013 and they were on it. They keep claiming that they weren't, that they had spoken to my Attorney. The person that answered the phone when I called back on the phone number on my phone was from a third party also, just as someone else had stated on this review site. I believe it is a scam. I contacted my attorney on this matter and am waiting for a return call from their office. If this company, Western Sky Loans, went out of business in 2013 then I shouldn't have to worry about them bothering me about this loan. Beside as I stated earlier, this loan was included in my bankruptcy which finalized in 2013.

I just received a call from 866-783-**** on a Western Sky Loan from 2012. I called the number back that came up on my phone, which was a Charlotte NC number.

They are claiming that they are trying to deliver paperwork to me to appear in court. I told them that this loan went through my bankruptcy case which finalized February 2013.

They stated that they spoke to my attorney office and they had told Western Sky that this loan wasn't in the bankruptcy.I have now called my attorney's office in reference to this. Just waiting for a response back from them.

Guest

I received a phone call from persons claiming to have legal paperwork to be delivered to my home address a couple of days ago, in relation to a loan I took out from Western Sky in 2010. I found it very interesting that while they have my address from 7 years ago, they showed no interest in obtaining my current address.

The caller had the hardcase act down to a tee, and came across very professional.

The big problem here is that the State of GA won a lawsuit against Western Sky/Cash Call/Delbert Services earlier this year, and all loans sold to Georgia residents have been cancelled. I've been in touch with the attorney general's office, and am waiting to see if any such legal paperwork is delivered today - if so it will be faxed immediately to the AG's office.

Guest

This is happening to me too I get a call with a tough guy and he ntells me I am going to get served. I am going to follow up with my state and see if this is a scam or legitimate

Guest

I called this number saying that I owed this much money, but I told them to send me the paperwork, she had told me that I have the paperwork right here in from of her, she said what do you want to know, all I ask was send me the paperwork, then she said have a good day.

Loan sharking at it's best!

In 2010 I borrowed 2500 from western sky and they told me on the phone, you'll be able to pay it back in a year. I thought ok, I can handle 294.96 for a year. I didn't find out until cash call informed me that they owned the loan and I would be paying that amount for three years. I went bolistic, that's a new car payment, I thought. I stopped paying them and changed my bank account. Delbert called my daughters and friends and told them that they had court summons and I received all kinds of nasty threats but I didn't answer the calls. I contracted with a company to settle my debts and cash call would not verify the loan. They told me I didn't have to pay because they weren't even legal. Now cash call has placed a collection on my credit. I called them and they said they no longer have the loan and that I should call Delbert. I called Delbert and they said they gave it back to cash call. I called back and they gave me the number to Pacific Investments. I called Pacific investments and all I can get is a voice mail asking to leave the primary loan place and they or one of their partners will get in touch. I havn't heard from them yet. I believe my next step will be to dispute this on my credit, but I can't dispute it now because I am buying a house.

Scam!!!

We took out a loan with western sky a few years ago for $2500 and paid it off in a few months. A year later we called for another loan and they automatically upped the amount to $5000. We paid $468 a month for 8 months. We called them to get a payoff and we still owed $4800. The interest rate on this loan was 119%. If loan went to term we would payback $41,000 on $5000. This is predatory lending practices and they need to be shut down!! When we stopped paying on the loan because it was a hopeless situation they sent us paperwork stating our current interest rate was 18%...These people are liars and cheats and I'd advise anyone considering a relationship with them to run and don't look back!!

Read all the paperwork thoroughly before signing any agreement, especially when money is involved.

Guest

I took a loan out with them and paid it off they was supposed to mail me a paper saying my balance was 0 and they did not Thursday some guy call me saying I owe them 1 thousands and I had to pay them are they was going to sue me and it would be 5 thousands with court costs I can't afford it I told them and to do what he have to he was very disrespectful he told me to shut up because I talk to much

Guest

You willingly got loans from them twice. You knew what the terms were.

Why should they go out of business?

After your next loan? Then what will you do.

Guest

I also have had bad experience with Western Sky Financial. The problem is that I do not mind paying back the loan, but they want to pull the money from my checking account.

With all of the issues that been going on with credit card scams, *** accounts, etc. I do not feel comfortable in giving out my bank information, because like most of the post that I read, once they pull the money out of your account.

There is not way of getting it back, so who to say that Western Sky won't pull $ 600 instead of $300. I think if they are a litigable company it would not matter if we mail our payments into them.

Scam

I borrowed $1000 from western sky and they never told me about the pre paid fianance fee which was $500. Once you sign the document they place that amount on the loan. Most pay day loans you pay the fianance fee for the loan only. Western sky charges you a pre pay fianance fee on top of your loan and they interest for $1500 instead of $1000. On there commericals they also state a fraud advertisement. "this will help your credit score". they never reported any payments or loans on my account until i was late. Complete scam, go somewhere else and save yourself the trouble.

WESTERN SKY SHUT DOWN! IN MOST STATES - MORE TO GO

http://www.westernsky.com/ - there is a very apologetic from the owner of Western Sky who claims to be doing business on a Indian Reservation – well the 98 people who he claims to be helping were breaking the laws and actually only making pennies compared to what his company was making – on a $5,000.00 loans Western Sky would average up to $48,000 because the borrower would never be able to pay off the loan within a short period of time.

This greedy man just replaced the banks and mortgage companies that did predictor loans under a different disguise – why even the “MOB” did not charge this much interests – the MOB wanted you to pay the loan back so you could borrow some more – instead Western Sky wanted to repeatedly assault and batter it’s borrowers. Who due to the economy were desperate – even if they did read the fine print. If you really care about your workers – split the profits you made on the illegal loans – that should support them for at least 5 years!

:cry :cry :cry I'm crying for your lost Mr. Western Sky

GeAnna Mra

Sorry about your troubles with WS, However, you might be getting some relief http://franklintoday.com/ny-a-g-sues/

Check with your Attorney General's offices, most AG's are going after this PayDay loaners (1) Western Sky is not protected by Native American Reservation Laws - it's a bait & switch to CashCall (2) charging more than a certain percentage is illegal (check your state laws for legal loan interest rates) (3) Most banks were sent letter to no longer process ACH or Clearing House debits associated with payday lonas. (4) These scammers will have to pay you back for each point they charge above the legal rate+ possible $5,000 fine for each loan) - Western Sky already laid off hundreds of "loan processors" who had not banking experiences or and idea what they were underwriting was illegal.

Western Sky just continued from the Mortgage Fraud and predictory leaning to preying on individuals who are be affected by today's economy.

It does not matter if you understood the conditions of the loan! There operation is illegal! And top Native American Council stated that Western Sky is not associated with any Tribe or authority. Western Sky.

First off, if you take a loan out with western sky, they are ONLY allowed to go through tribal court, and it is considered illegal in U.S. So therefore they cant do anything to you inorder to get payments back, they cant sue, US court system would throw it out immeditly, they cant garnish your wages or report it to your credit. They may threaten it, but they cant do anything but harrass you, and if you ask them to stop calling, legally they have to, truly hope this helps:)

Guest

I also took a loan out with Western sky , cash call it is crazy to pay 1756 for a 1000 loan I gettting ready to pay them off and Im done with payday loan. These company take advantage of people who are in the need at the time.

Please dont be like me and get stuck paying 1200 interest on 1000 dollar. From Michigan call LARa this is legal!!

My Experience with Western Sky Loan

I totally believe that Western Sky loan is a scam. When I called they the did not give their name or identification number to verify that you are speaking with a license representative. All they ask me about was my income, the state I live in and my address. The person did not even confirm the information back to me!! and when I gave them my Social Security number, the person went to run my credit and the phone just hung up on me. Like WTF!!! He did not even ask for a telephone number. They are not even friendly at all when I called back they told me they would transfer me back to the person I was speaking with and it just went straight to voice mail. I need to call Help Me Howard

You really should have done your research. On the commercial they TELL YOU

that they are expensive. When you read about them online, you see they are expensive. Sort of like a "Legal Loan Shark". Did you look them up on BBB ?

I need funds also, but I am not paying 6x"s what I really need !!!!! Some times it

pays to shop around. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

You are very lucky. If you borrow $ 10,000.

you will pay back $ 62000 over 84 payments of almost $ 800. per month.

Pressured Tactics!

I applied for a loan package and after careful review of the terms changed my mind. After approving me over the phone mailed me a denial letter that will be sent to the credit bureau. this is not right or fair to prey on someone when they really need the assistance. Plus to the rates are overly inflated so I decided to go to my local PLS store and take out a loan with much reasonable rates. Never agian will I use an online financial institute for things that need to be done in person. I learned the hard way but at least I learned my lesson.

They did the same thing to me. I was approved and after asking the customer service representative representative additional questions regarding the fees and doing the math Ideclined the loan.

They called several times to get me to change my mind and after I didn't they sent me a denial letter. I'm glad they won't be preying on anyone else.
