warrants jail time for payday loans in south carolina

Was it from the sheriff of your county? If it has any appearance of being an 'official' document, you probably should call an attorney to get some legal advice. There should be some sort of case # or complaint, and it would probably need to be captioned as "People of the State of South Carolina vs. (you)"

If it is just a letterhead from the payday store or their attorney, then that is a major no-no and you should hold it as evidence.

As far as I know, you can't be arrested over debts because they are only a civil matter. Unless somehow they can prove fraud, then it might become criminal.

Have the payday lenders yet sunk to a NEW LOW???!!! *sigh*

I'm thinking even they can get lower...

One of the members in the pdl fourm posted (copied and pasted) a notice from a pdl which was a warrant. It even sounded official. It was really scary to see.

Roxy-was the warrant emailed to them?

Good thought Vol..An official warrant would have to be hand delivered...

I am curious about this....in SC (the original poster here) criminal action is prohibited for collection of PDL's so to me, that was the first red flag that it could be fake.

These PDL's already call people and id themselves as the FBI,CIA whatever..so now fake warrants too?? Debtcruncher raises a good point...keep that thing for evidence.

I would LOVE to see one of these "warrants"...

me too! I wonder if there are typos in it :lol:

LOL! I'm sure! Probably has purple ink running all over it like the dittos we got in elementary school.

Or a MS Word template just modified a bit
