The Georgia attorney general’s office has reached a settlement in an enforcement action against Western Sky Financial LLC and its related companies.
This action implicates short-term lending practices conducted by defendants Western Sky LLC, CashCall Inc., WS Funding LLC, Delbert Services Corp., J. Paul Reddam, and Martin A. Webb.
Georgia residents who took out loans issued by Western Sky may benefit from the terms of this settlement. Class Members are entitled to receive cancellation of outstanding loans and adjustments to their credit histories. Qualifying Class Members who submit a claim will also receive monetary payments.
The settlement also provides for injunctive relief barring the defendants from engaging in lending business with Georgia residents without being licensed by the state, from continuing to service or collect any loan covered by this settlement, and from continuing to offer or enter into loans at amounts and interest rates that violate Georgia law.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include persons who took out a loan from Western Sky Financial LLC and who lived in Georgia at the time they took out that loan.
Potential Award
Varies.
The Western Sky settlement offers four types of benefits, depending on each Class Member’s particular situation.
- Monetary Payments: Class Members are entitled to a monetary payment if they took out a loan for more than $3,000 and repaid an amount equal to or greater than their loan proceeds plus interest at 60 percent per annum, or if they took out a loan for less than $3,000 and repaid an amount equal to or greater than their loan proceeds plus interest at 10 percent per annum.
- Loan Forgiveness: Some Georgia borrowers with outstanding loans still owned, serviced or collected by the defendants are entitled to forgiveness of those loans.
- Credit History Adjustment: All Georgia borrowers are eligible for and will receive a credit history adjustment. The defendants have asked all applicable credit bureaus to remove any reporting made by the defendants regarding covered loans.
- Cancellation of Loans Sold to Third Parties: Loans that the defendants sold to third parties are deemed canceled.
Proof of Purchase

No check in LA Grange GA. today
No Check as of Today
I was emailed back that checks were mailed out on the 30th. Has anyone got a check yet??
I hope we get checks by Friday.
I sent an email to the contract address to verify that payments had been sent as promised on 6/30/17, as well as to determine whether the full or partial settlement amount was sent. No response as of yet. I will definitely contact the Office of the Attorney General to report noncompliance with the settlement agreement if I have not received a check within the next week to ten business days.
I know this is early… has anyone received their payment?
June 30th from Minneapolis
They have received over 15 million already and I agree they are sitting on it until the last possible day. My claim was verified on March 30 and there is no reason I haven’t received a check. The Settlement states beginning in June, not June 30. I am going to contact the State AG. Btw- the number to call is simply a call center that has been given a statement to read, they have no other info.
Thanks for the info. Please find out if the check is coming from Georgia or Minnesota.
Did they use caps? Did you email about the mailing location? If not, I will.
No I did not ask about mailing location…sorry
I did just send the email back asking about location?? so sorry I did not think of that
I just reply back on my email and asked location of mailing MInnesota or Georgia? so sorry I did not think of that
Any thoughts if the check is coming from Georgia or Minneapolis?
