im from alabama and have several payday loans outstanding. some internet and one from advance america. i have never paid on them. stupid me, i know. ive already been garnished once for a loan company debt which was embarrassing enough. they served the paper to me at my job. every day im looking around wondering if the police are going to knock on my door and if not repaying these is a felony and if i could go to jail for doing so. i also have some outstand bounced checks never repaid. any advice from anyone would be appreciated. i feel like ive dug myself into a deeper hole with no way out.


First I would check the payday loan laws in your state. Then I would contact advance america soon before they take you to court. advance is probably the only one that is licensed in your state. They probably will make payment arrangements with you.

For the bounced checks, if you remember who you wrote them out to, I would call them and try and make good on those checks. The places that you wrote those checks out to can turn them over to a CA and then it will go on your credit record but they can also turn the checks over to the DA and the DA can take you to court.

with the internet loans, if they haven't contacted you yet, your lucky. They will call you at home and at your job when you default. It is a nasty cycle with them. But don't believe what they tell you over the phone, unless they are licensed in your state. You may want to contact them after you get the other things taken care of first.
Good luck and it's great to see that you want to take care of these. It will take some time but in the end you will feel better when you get them paid in full.

How can i find out what the law for loans are in my state. I know that all of the payday loan places we had here have all closed because of some new law. It had something to do with a person not being able to have a loan for so many months in a one year period. Does anyone know about this?

I have dealt with Advance America and frankly I'm surprised they haven't already taken you to court! They can be sticky to deal with, but if you call them and work out a payment plan with the store manager, you should be OK.
They are also a storefront lender, which means they are probably licensed in your state and definately should be paid first.

I work in the payday loan business. In Alabama a payday advance is usually considered a loan. They usually take you to small claims court to collect. Some send you to collection companies.

As far as getting calls at work about your "bills". Tell them to stop calling you at work. Look up Fair Debt Collection Protection Act. They have to stop calling you at work if you tell them to stop. If you will call the manager they will usually work out some payment plan. They will try to make you think they can't but it is cheaper to work out something with you than take you to small claims court.

I did not know that was voluntary how do you revoke that. The company I am dealing with has said they are going to garnish wages and I need to do something before that happens

Ok so what if I can not get it to them the company is B.I.G they r very rude people and they have not given me any way to contact them. The only time I can talk to them is when they call me they said they are part of ACH loans. This stuff is huge nightmares thanks for all of your help

stop them in their tracks.

I was stupid and got a payday loan for an emergency. Looking back, I would rather have delt with the consequences of not having the money at the time instead of paying 400% interest on $1000. It just eats me up inside. I got a spam email about debt consolidation, but i went to the site anyway. They helped me settle with Advance America and they retracted the credit reports. I still had to pay $200 above the $1000 I borrowed, but now I am making the payments through my debt consolidation company who is only charging me 15%. I am just glad I am not having to look over my back now. I dug back through my email and grabbed the link. After filling out the form you will get a call and can explain your situation.

It was a long link, so i made it short using tinyurl
tinyurl.com/6zv4qr

hope this helps.

I would tell BIG that they are no longer allowed to call you and that if they want to discuss the matter further, they need to contact you either via snail mail or email address. Keep telling them that and refuse to discuss the matter further- do not continue to talk with them on the phone. Hang up on them once you realize it's them, or don't answer the phone at all.

If they want their money bad enough, they *WILL* contact you by email and/or by the terms you told them. They are going to be difficult until you start being firm and adamant with them.

LOL...this company is well known for their harassment. We should start refering to them as "The Notorious B.I.G.".

Yeah they r really harsh, I have told them several times to stop calling me at work I even gave them my home number and they won't use it. They called my boss and told her that I owe them money and that they would continue to call until they got it. Also they saud they were turning me over to there legal department. What can they do to me I have already gave my employer the wage assingment letter saying I revoced it is there anything else I need to do.
