My husband was laid off for a month and we started to get behind on bills. So we decided to take out a payday loan to get us by until he returned to work. Well, once he returned we found ourselves trying to catch up on past due bills and pay the payday loan. Needless to say we have 4 payday loans now and we can't get out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I live in Missouri. I have a $250 from storefront, $585 from storefront, $600 from internet and the other one is King of Kash where you borrow the money and they deduct $30/$100 per month and after 12 months it pays itself off, $2000. When you ask how much we have paid on them, do you mean the total we've paid since we started them or since we paid them off and took out another one? After 3 renewals they make you pay them off and then take it back out (except King of Kash).

Most internet loan companies are not following with the state laws. Check the company if they are licensed to do business in your state. Besides, review their fine print with the charges mentioned in your state. You will figure out if they are adding charges legally. If not, your nest step will be to report them to your state AG and the local BBB.

Storefront lenders usually follow the laws and are easier to deal with. Call them and make a proposal. They may offer some extensions suitable in your situation. Give a call and get the real story.

Finally, there are companies that settle debts with pdl companies. You can try their free quote and know how much debt can be settled using their services.

CWilliams, Yes they're are companies that deal with this type of debt. Please be careful choosing one. Always do your homework researching these people. Some cases things have not worked out and people have been taken advantage of. Also check your secretary of states website to see if the internet cvompanies you have are licensed in your state.

I am sorry that this is occurring to you and your husband. Cashnetusa will be willing to work with you.

As for the storefront, unless they are willing to work with you, they may present a problem to you. I would recommend that you contact each of these companies and try work out payment arrangements.

Basically there is no way out for me. The place I am going through, King of Kash, has done their homework. They loan you $100 - $300 per loan up to $3000. The deduct $30 per $100 from your account every month. So I have 15 seperate withdrawals every month and when they go back NSF, King of Kash just keeps sending them through. I'm stuck. If I let the bank charges keep racking up, then the bank is going to be after me. And of course I called King of Kash yesterday to try and work out a payment plan and they won't work with me at all. They said they can't stop the electronic deductions and I would just have to get the money some how. What do I do?

I contacted King of Kash and they said that there was nothing they could do. They won't make pay arrangements with me or anything. I told them that the money wouldn't be in my account and they told me that I better find a way. That they are going to keep sending the loans through every 24 hours and then I will have to pay them an extra fee everytime it goes back NSF on top of having to pay the bank. I found out that this company is doing installment loans. So after that conversation I was really upset, so I contacted a lawyer to see what I could do and guess what she told me. Absoutley nothing. As a borrower I have no rights in Missouri. And on top of it all if the loans keep going back NSF, King of Kash can file criminal charges against me. Life Sucks! Once you get in forget it your not getting out. The worst thing of all is that I know I got myself in this and I plan to pay them when I can, but my kids are starting to suffer from this and I don't know what to do. I can't take much more. All I do is cry everyday wondering how to get out of this. HELP!!!
