Im in trouble because i have 4 outstanding payday loans

Are these internet or storefront payday loans? And what state are you in?

Whatever you do don't let them get ahold of your bank account information, if they don't already have it. You might have to consider closing or freezing your account to prevent them from withdrawing funds.

they are mostly internet

and i'm in utaj

My mom got the same phone call at work this week, from a company she thought she had paid off. She said she saw on the tv that it is against the law for them to threaten you like that. She did pay them as well with rent money thru western union

im in the same situation and my debt is like 2500. i plan on paying it but i have to saty out of jail and still have to pay my rent and bills first. can they put me in jail?

You can not go to jail for defaulting on the internet pdls. They are going to threaten this, and that is illegal. You won't go to jail. Pay your rent and block these companies from your account or close the account and open a new one. Then file complaints with your attorney general's office as well as with the AG in the states which these internet companies are located.

ok awesome.. now i can breathe and relax. should i wait to call the number for the debt consolidation on this site?? do they call me??

They will call you. However, you can deal with the internet pdls on your own. Many have been successful with getting their accounts marked paid in full on their own.

thanxs so much for your help. i appreciated

Do a search with the names of the pdl companies you are dealing with. Do you see the google search box at the top of the page? Put the keyword in the box and you will find many links in which people are discussing their experiences with the pdl places. Get an idea and deal with the situation in a better way. No need to be worried. You will be fine.

Which internet payday loans do you have and what are your outstanding balances? Have you looked into the laws in your state to see what rights you have?

I am really sick and tired of these payday loans calling people on their jobs and harassing them when they have explained to them that they cannot pay them because of circumstances. I understand how you feel because I was in the same boat as you. But when I found this website, I found a new ray of light. Thank God I found people who understood what I was going through. I felt so alone and broke. When I didn't even have money to buy me a pair of shoes that's when I knew it was over for me.

I would recommend that you either close your account or request that your bank fill out a Statement of Unauthorized Debit on these people which blocks them from entering your account no matter what balance they put in. It worked for me and I didn't have to close my account. Now, I work through a debt consolidation firm and they get their money each month. What a relief for me.

If your bank does not know of such form (like my bank claimed that they didn't know of such a form, yeah right), I would recommend that you close your account period and try to open an account with another bank. Do not place a stop payment on your account as that does nothing more than places a stop payment on a particular amount and you have lost $29.

Good luck to you and I hope that everything works out for you. You have come to the right spot.

Kilosouthside: I'm in Utah too. This state supports storefront pdls if you've been reading the news lately. But they don't have any legislation on internet pdls. We already have at least one that is parked in this state illegally. Please let me know what companies the pdls are with and I will try to help you. If you wish, you can PM me. I'm happy to help and you might find it comforting to know there's someone nearby.

Out of curiosity, was the name of the company that threatened you with check fraud called Bass & Associates?

That IS their MO, as we know, Brownsugar!
