ALLSTATE FINANCIAL GROUP THEY MADE ME PAY MONEY TO GET A LOAN CANADA Internet
In late september early october i went online looking for a loan because i needed the money.I came across Allstate Finanicial Group so i called them they said that I was approved for a loan up to 25,000.So I faxed the paper work to them my social securaty number and my Id to them.On the phone i gave them my bank account number they said that i had to pay for the loan so i did.About the next day i wrote a couple checks for my childrens father so he could get a car I thought the money was in my account well i was wrong.So i tried to cancel the checks so they couldnt get cashed but they did already.The bank contacted me and my childrens father so i got arrested for writeing bad checks.Now im going to criminal court for their criminal acts and I have tried to call them but thier number is out of service and i am in a whole lot of trouble and i am very upset and dont know what to do.

You made a couple of big mistakes.
First, anytime someone asks you for money up front in order to get a loan it is a SCAM. When you sent this money that was the last time you would see that money, and you will never see the loan.
Second(and bigger problem), you wrote a check with the "thought" the money was in your account. For a major amount did it not occur to you to at least check with your bank to see if it was there?
Depending on the charges you are actually facing you need an attorney. If these are criminal charges you can get a court appointed attorney. You can attempt to use that you were scammed in your defense. But they are going to bring up the fact that you wrote the check without the money in your account against you.
