Thank you guys for responding to my question. I don't have all the information that you guys are requesting off hand right now. However, I will give you guys what info I do have on me right now. I will try to get on here later to give further info. None of them are internet payday loans. I got all of them from actual stores here in Bellevue, NE.
This is just one big mess. I can't believe that I've made such a stupid mistake. I am so stressed out. Sometimes I feel like what's the point in living. PLEASE HELP ME!! I have to pay back each of these loans by 10/19/07. This is an ongoing cycle. Every two weeks, I pay back and renew b/c I can't afford to just pay back. If I don't renew, I won't have cash to pay bills & get groceries.
Check N Go $425.00 $75.00 fee
Advance America $425.00 $75.00 fee
Paycheck Advance $425.00 $75.00 fee
Check into Cash $425.00 $75.00 fee
So basically, I am $2,000.00 in debt with these places.

Since these are all storefront loans, you will need to handle them very carefully.
All your loan companies but Paycheck Advance are members of the CFSA. This means that their policy is this:
| Quote: | CFSA Best Practices and Guidelines for Extended Payment Plans
Subject to applicable state laws, each member shall provide an Extended Payment Plan (“EPPâ€) for customers who are unable to repay a loan. The member shall adopt a plan that offers the customer at least the following provisions:
You [the customer] may opt into an EPP to pay an outstanding loan if you are unable to repay your loan when due. Any outstanding fee will be included in the amount subject to EPP.
You must invoke the EPP by close of business on the last business day before the loan due date by returning to the office where you obtained the loan or by using whatever method you used to obtain the loan. To invoke the EPP, you must sign an amendment to your loan agreement reflecting the new payment schedule.
You may pay the transaction balance in four equal payments coinciding with your periodic pay dates.
We will not begin collection activities while you are under an EPP as long as you meet all obligations under the EPP.
There is no charge for you to enter into an EPP. However, if you default on an EPP, we may charge you an EPP fee and accelerate payment on the balance remaining, as authorized by applicable law. |
Go into those stores and mention this. They should be able to set you up with more affordable payments, and stop the madness of renewing each payday.
I would also call or stop by Paycheck Advance and see if they would set you up with a payment plan too.

Okay. Thank you for this. So, just to recap, go into each of these stores and ask them about EPP. EPP will allow me to set up a more workable payment plan? Also, call or go into Paycheck Advance to see if they will set me up on a payment plan as well. Correct?
I have to be honest. I am scared to do this, but I will give it a try. I hope that they will work with me. Thank you so much for the information.
What do you think Paycheck Advances problem is? I wonder why they are not a member. Thanks again.
If I have more questions, can I come back to the forum?

Yes, that is what you should do. If any of the 3 CFSA members refuse, there is a complaint process you can use to make them cooperate.
Don't be scared. This is the first step you must take to clear your life of these loans.
Of course you can come back and ask any question you have! And as Kashzan said, register here and become a member. It's free, and then you will have access to some other features.

Thank you guys so very much. You guys are sooooooooooo knowledgeable. Well, I will start tomorrow. I will go to these places tomorrow and Monday. I pray to God that they will cooperate. I can't take this burden anymore.
OH,and I thought that I was registered. LOL I have a password and everything.
I will definately let you guys know how things go. Any advice on what I should do if Paycheck advance won't allow me to set up a payment plan with them? Should I mention to them that I know that they are not a member of CFSA? Thanks.

Yes, now I am registered. LOL
I am sorry that I keep asking questions over and over again, but you mentioned the if any of the CFSA member refuse, I could file a complaint???
So, if they act like they don't want to work with me, I just need to mention that I will make a complaint thru the CFSA?
Oh and, if I what should I do if Paycheck Advance won't work out a payment arrangement with me? Would me mentioning the fact that they are not a member of CFSA help me get them to cooperate?

I wouldn't mention that they aren't a member of the CFSA. Since they aren't a member they probably don't care about it. It's not required for them to join.
If they won't allow you to make payment arrangements, they will probably send through your check. Once it bounces at least that will mean that your loan is in default and they can't keep adding the refi fees onto it. If they have a coprorate office, I would try to contact them and ask about payment arrangements. Also, when you go into the store to talk to them, try to speak with a manager if possible.
