GENEVA ROTH VENTURES

Hi Kimberly,

They don't have very good reputation in the industry to say it softly.

Check out this page to know why I am saying like that: http://www.mortgagefit.com/discuss/rioresource.html

"I JUST TRIED TO GET A PAYDAY LOAN AND THEY SD I WAS APPROVED-- ARE THESE GUYS LEGIT OR WHAT? I MEAN THEY HAVE MY BANKING INFO TO DEPOSIT FUNDS "

They are better known as a loan shark company.

Hello Kimberly,

I hope that you have not signed any papers to get loan from this company:(
This Company has a very bad reputation as they are considered as a loan shark company that harasses people. So, please be careful. :)

It doesn't matter if you do not sign anything just inquiring about these loans they assume you accept them and then you are in trouble

yeah Rmaliseqs, that's what happens with the people they approach. Once you ask them about their loans and they'll assume that you've accepted the offer. And, then they'll deposit the money in your account and ask for the payments when it's time for it. Then if you don't pay you're in real trouble.

does anyone have a phone number on these people? they keep ACHing my account

debbief,

You'll get the number from the page referred by Miller above.

i just got off the phone with Smith Haynes and Watson they collect debts for Geneva Roth Payday Loans. I spoke with a Ms.Tucker who was actually very nice. I told her i dont have money to pay all the fees, but if they settle with me then i will pay in full. She allowed me to make 4 installment payments and pay with a prepaid debit card, that way they have no access to my accounts, and they will consider it paid in full. She was actually very nice.

Just some FYI!

I still will never take another loan with them again, but atleast i got someone who worked with me.

Another thing is to have your bank freeze your account from ach debits, and make it a credit only account, which will also help reduce fees, but not show your account as closed. :) It worked for me.

Hi GUEST,

Welcome to the forum.

It is good to see you are sharing your experience here. At least we have someone who has a little bit good experience with this company. People got more aware and they have to clean their image now :)

I complained to FTC, BBB, Geneva Roth and Attorney Generals ofc. for a 300 loan 390 due w/fee....they have taken over 1100. so far and still debiting my account. Stay away from them.. they have a long list of company names they go by.

Hi Iminlaconia,

Welcome to the forums.

It's good to know that you complained. We need to take such steps against the illegal practices of payday loan companies. Otherwise they'll go on with such activities. Is there any way you can close the account because you've already paid off the loan?

Why don't you have a talk with the bank as to what you can do with the account?

"they have a long list of company names they go by"
You mean this company has different names by which they operate as payday loan providers?

I don't have any payday loans with geneva roth ventures and I checked my bank account and noticed I was missing $400.00 this afternoon, I called my bank and that told me they took the money out at 6:00 am this morning and that thet been getting alot of complaints about them taking money from peoples accounts. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY LOANS but I consdired it and applied last week through a website and now I'm out of 400 bucks. DON'T USE ONLINE PAYDAY WEBSITES.

You're correct Phatdaddy. Most of the online payday loan websites are unreliable. You should try to contact Geneva Roth and explain your situation to the their representative. But i doubt how much they'll listen because without even contacting you, they've simply offered you the loan just because you applied. Looks like they don't even check your creditworthiness.

These guys are thiefts. I received a payday loan from them in 2005 for $200. I re-paid the loan shortly after. They have twice taken $400 out of my bank accounts since then. I have had to close two bank accounts becuase of them and I'm afraid this will keep happening. I submitted a dispute with the Utah better business bureau. Hopefully they will do something. Everyone that reads this that has has a similar problem should also submit a dispute.

I received an unapproved loan from an SSM Group, LLC yesterday and found a phone number to call about this. LSL Marketing (customer service) answered and said that the funds will be withdrawn back on Monday.
The phone number is 866-463-2130.
I wasn't given the opportunity to ask if they are connected in some way with Geneva Roth, but I hope this helps someone.
