Hello

New here and just wanted to say hi and thank you
in advance for any help and info. Was wondering
on how to get started or where to go for
consolidating pay day loans. My wife and i have
about 1700.00 in loans. Not sure if you have to
be at a certain amount to do it or what? Thank
you so so much.

Hello and welcome to the forums! We are glad you are here. In order to help you, need to get a little more information. First, are your PDL's internet or storefront and what state are you in. Also, break down how much your loans are for and what you've actually paid in fees on them.

What companies are you dealing with, chad? Perhaps there is someone here from Wisconsin that has dealt with the same ones.The storefront ones are operating legally so they can take you to court. It is best to find a way to get them taken care of first. Have you tried talking to them and setting up payment arrangements?

I am living in Ohio and have 4 payday loans with the following
1. Checksmart 912.50
2. National Check Cashers 912.50
3. Quick Cash 912.50
4. Cashland 912.50

I have been dealing with these companies for over two years and now I wish to consolidate them. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this. I have closed my account because 5/3 told me to do so. I am feeling very worried. Are there any consolidation companies who deal with the storefront pdl's. I would appreciate any advice. Please help.

Jeff.

Can I get help to consolidate payday loans

Welcome to the Community Very Happy

Are these store front or internet loans. Also, what state are you in, what was borrowed, what has been paid? This info will help us to better help you! If they are store front, you need to try to make arrangement with them, they usually go by the state laws, and tend to file suit. Feel free to ask questions..KAren

I am in the same boat as the person above and I want to get out of the cycle without having to close my account or stopping my direct deposit.

I have several loans through payday companies and all of them were via the internet and I live in the State of Missouri.

I am currently in a debt consolidation program and it has helped me greatly however they do not handle paydayloans. Do you know a company who can help me to do this?

Hello Harley,

From your post it is clear that you have accumulated a huge amount (US$ 1700) through original payday loans and consequent rollovers.

One of the major drawbacks in its payment pattern is that you can’t pay it off in installments but in lump sum amount. Due to this reason, if you miss a single pay period, then it accumulates rapidly.

E.g. If you have taken a payday loan of US$ 150 with a fee of US$ 20, then a single miss of pay period will cost you US$200 (with a rollover fee of US$30). Due to this predatory tendency, in 12 states of USA, like Georgia, payday loans are either considered as illegal or non-feasible.

You can definitely go for payday loan consolidation and talk to a good consolidation company. This company will then negotiate with your various lenders and will offer you a better repayment plan having a single window payment and a much lower rate of interest.

You can also opt for a debt consolidation loan. It can be either of the following types: -
1.Secured Debt consolidation loan – You can avail this loan by pledging a collateral (eg. Your home) against it. This comes with a much lower interest rate and the penalties also remain liable to be written off.
2.Unsecured Debt consolidation loan – Here no collateral is pledged and thus you need to pay a higher interest rate than the secured ones. These loans generally take much longer time period to pay-off.

Regards,

Phoenix
