I have been around here for a while and I feel I can come to people here with a request. This last few weeks has been hell on me and my pets. My cat Wheezy had to have surgery for a kidneys stones and damaged bladder. She came through the surgery fine and is at home recovering.
The surgery was 1247.00. I had a running bill already because I try to take care of my pets, cats and a dog. When I got foreclosed on last year I found homes for 11 strays I was taking care of, but my inside cats got lucky with as well as I did, in that I found a small home to rent that the landlord would allow me to keep my pets.....fighting my foreclosure in the courts cost me a pretty penny...I still lost to HSBC, their pockets were bigger than mine. My bill now is closer to 1500.00
Because of the surgery, I tried online, yep pretty stupid, but I tried to get a small personal loan for to pay off the surgery. Hoping to get a lower payment monthly than the 250.00 bill I had to accept to get the surgery. Don't get me wrong r. Dhaliwal has been a prince among men in helping me stay responsible toward my furry companions. But his is a business and he has to watch his bottom line also. Anyway in my naivete and trust I sent them 900.00 dollars up front as good faith money that was promised to be returned in the loan. It was a scam. I spent all my money on that hope of a loan. 'First cashadvance', allegedly in chicago. 312-473-2086, david jordan. took my money. I am resigned to never getting my money back, I have contacted senior citizen legal help here. But from all I learned since my ignorance causing severe loss, is that I will probably never see a dime. Call them, if you will, don't be mean or threaten, just ask why they could be so heartless to a just below the poverty line senior just trying to do the right thing by my furry companions and my wonderful vet.
I started a 'give forward.com' fundraiser on facebook. It's for Wheezy's bill. The vet address is 706 w. michigan ave. ypsilanti, michigan 48198 phone 734-482-8171 for anyone interested in helping Wheezy and I directly. I am embarrassed to ask, but I am asking for help. I hope it's proper to use this forum for such a request.

If this person is truly in Chicago, then you should contact the board that covers finance. They're very easy to talk to. I will try to find the right number.
You should also contact the attorney general.
I'm so sorry.

(18,124 posts)I have filed a complaint with the state AG fraud department. I have resigned myself to never seeing any money from my idiocy here. But thank for responding and Wheezy thanks you too.... And by the way if I had some money I'd buy you a heart..... but you got it anyway in spirit.....

Can't believe at this age I'm doing worse financially than ever before in my life. Sucks!
The department of financial and professional regulations, non bank people, are very helpful. I had to complain once about an Internet payday loan (STUPID) and it turned out to be one of the very few legitimate ones. But the guy at the department made a call on my behalf and bam! Loan was done.
I can't find the number but the link is www.idfpr.com
Then click on non-banking on the left
Good luck. I hope they can do something.
