I took out a payday loan on 10-1-06. They deducted 2 payments from my account on 10-16-06 and 11-1-06. I had all of the information on my computer. About 5 days after they took the second payment I lost my checks and had to closed out the account and open another account. That very same day we had an electrical problem at work and everyone lost everything that was stored on their computer. Now I don’t have a phone number for them to call them so that I can just pay the loan off by sending them a check. I barely remember the name of the company who I have the loan with. All I can remember is that it was some kind of group financial or something like that. Now I don’t know what to do. I have been searching the internet to see if I could run across it somewhere or maybe see a company that may be them. What would you do in this situation? They have my phone number and address but they have not called me nor have they written me about the payday loan. It was for $200.00
