FTC gets court order to stop payday lenders

The practices of seven companies and an individual, (Leads Global, Inc., Waterfront Investments, Inc., ACH Cash, Inc., HBS Services, Inc., Lotus Leads, Inc., First4Leads, Inc., and Rovinge International, Inc., and Jim Harris,) were ordered halted by the courts.  These payday lender offer customers $500 loan in exchange for the entire amount back along with additional fees ranging from $35-80.  

If the customers didn’t pay it back immediately, they were falsely threatened with arrest or imprisonment, falsely told that they are legally obligated to pay the debts, threatened with legal action they cannot take, repeatedly called at work and using abusive and profane language, and had their purported debts disclosed to co-workers, employers, and other third parties.
