Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Florida Financial Management dba Lend A Dollar
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I revoke authorization from Lend a dollar automatically withdrawing payments from my checking account and debit card per my signed loan agreement. The company is still processing automatic electronic checks. The company stated I am unable to revoke authorization from them processing electronic checks. I would have to do so through my bank. The company processed a check on XX/XX/year> and it returned due to insufficient funds. The payment was processed on the incorrect pay date. I am paid on the XXXX and the XXXX of each month. This payment caused me a {$29.00} return fee. On XX/XX/year> the company ran a payment using my debit card in which they insured me they had stopped because they received my revoke authorization. The payment on XX/XX/year> was unauthorized. When I called to inquire about the unauthorized payment being processed management informed me that I am unable to make scheduled installment payments on my own. My only option was for them to automatically withdraw my payments. This isn't right and I should be able to make my payments on my own on the due dates of my installment.

This is my formal demand for you to : Immediately remove this debt from my credit report if it can not be validated.

Cease all collection activities until you can provide adequate validation as outlined above.

This letter serves as notice that I am documenting all communications regarding this matter. Any further action to collect on this alleged debt without proper validation is a violation of federal law and will be addressed accordingly.
