I sent Bridge Lending an e mail which I have included and they continued to try and collect on a loan that is not legal in the State Of Alabama which is in the email. After communication with the Alabama state attorneys office I sent the email telling Bridge Lending this and I paid more then the principal of the loan. Today they sent an email that they have turned it over to collections and ignoring the fact that this loan is not legal in my state, Below is my original e mail as well as the email they sent me today.

Re : Courtesy Reminder from Bridge Lending Sun, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) To : you ( XXXX ) + 1 more Details Dear Lender, It has come to my attention that payday lenders must be licensed by the state of Alabama in order to offer loans to its residents. Since your company has no license in my state, the loan contract I have with you is not valid. Although I am not legally required to do so, I am willing to repay the principal balance of this loan. To date, I received a deposit of {$250.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and have paid {$31000.00} back.. This results in an over payment of {$62.00} At this time I am requesting a return email acknowledging that my loan has been paid in full. Also, I would like a refund of the {$62.00} over payment. A refund check of {$62.00} should be mailed to me at the address you have on file. 

I am also revoking authorization for ACH withdrawals and any wage assignment I may have signed. I have given a copy of these revocations to both my bank and my employer. Any future attempts to collect funds in this manner will be blocked. 
Please respond to this email with acknowledgment that my account has been satisfied in full. Details of when I can expect the refund check, as discussed above, should also be included in the email.Also do not call my place of employment as my employer forbids these calls.Any communication in this matter you can send thru my email, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX -- -- -Original Message -- -- - From : Bridge Lending Support Team XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Fri, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Subject : Courtesy Reminder from Bridge Lending Your Account Has Been Transferred Thu, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Bridge Lending Support Team ( XXXX ) To : you Details Your Account Has Been Transferred Date : XX/XX/XXXX Re : Loan ID XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX, This email is notification that your account has been sent to an outside agency for purposes of collecting your outstanding balance.
