I went to my online banking info to find a pending charge of $260.00 from "Westbury" I have no idea who they are or where this comes from. I call my bank, get a phone#, call "Westbury". They talk to me condescendingly as I ask them questions Who are you? What loan? Etc. Etc. I finally loose my temper and tell this guy "Harris" I want to speak to your supervisor I've never had a payday loan from you! Who authorized this? What the - is going on? Harris continues to talk to me like I'm lying. I borrowed $ in DEC and they are collecting their $, some mention of the IRS and then I really give it to him... He tells me he has to put me on hold because I'm yelling. The guy doesn't pick back up. This has cost me $25.00 to stop payment to "Westbury" thank God I caught this while it was still pending withdrawal or they would have gotten the $260.00. How do I stop this in the future and how can I protect myself from this? I'm struggling as it is! Has someone stole my identity? I'm a poor identity to steal as I have losy credit and no $.
