I have the folowing payday loans:

Payday Max $700 +226 (Fees) = 926

Cash Transfer Centers $350 +69 (fees) = 419


I was wondering if anyone had any advice on talking to these companies about extedning the time to pay these off. I'm in CA

I hope the information below will help you. :)
You are only obligated to pay back the principal amount you borrowed from an unlicensed/illegal Internet Payday Lender.

What should you do?
Close your account asap, if you are unable to close your account, go into your bank and ask to speak with the Branch Manager, tell him/her you need a hard debit block placed on your account immediately! Explain that you are revoking ACH authorizations from unlicensed/illegal companies, and have learned these companies are notorious for ignoring revocation, therefore it is important to BLOCK any withdrawal attempts on your account to protect your interest. This is your privilege, do not accept no for an answer. The following link will provide you important information regarding closing accounts. CLICK HERE

What next?
AFTER your account is secure send each pdl (the unlicensed and illegal) an email similar to THIS (please scroll down to locate letter template). Tailor this letter to your needs, and try to write it with the same basic concept in your own words. You will need to research and locate email addresses/physical addresses if you don't already have them, I suggest that you type the name of the pdl (example: "oneclickcash address") in the search box in the upper right hand corner of this forum. You may also search for addresses HERE at the Better Business Bureau.

File complaints: Most of the time, you can file a complaint online with the following, I encourage you to follow through with doing so, you will need to search the Internet for your state Attorney General's website, however, here are links to file complaints for the FTC, Online complaints: Federal Trade Commission., and the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

Keep in mind that you may not receive a response for days, or even weeks, or, you may receive harassing and threatening phone calls. I have found the best way to deal with this is not to respond or reply, simply hang up.

Side note: If you have paid an illegal/unlicensed payday lender above and beyond the principal amount you borrowed, it might be a good idea to demand a refund and a paid in full letter/receipt. You may or may not get one or both. It still doesn't hurt to include that tidbit in your letter. :)[/quote]

i would like to ask the OP how much if anything was debited from there account towards these loans.if there was,that goes toward the loan as they are illegal as shazzers has pointed out.cashtransfercenters will be a pain to deal with being based out of the country.

I got a payday loan last february 2008. Then I was laid off. I set up payment arrangments and I thought I paid it off. Now a year later they sent me a email saying I missed the last two payments and they want $2776.87 Im scared, what can I do? The pay day max loan was for only $ 500.00. But they will settle for $533.74 ( the last two payments would of only been $ 106.90 if I missed them)

Also tell them the only amount you can afford to pay every week or every other week. If they are ILLEGAL which they are, they cant do anything. But at least pay them back what you borrowed and keep in touch with them by calling them every time you send their payment.

Thats what I do. and all they say to me is thank you.....

I still get emailed saying that I owe a lot more than I legally owe but I ignore it. I will tell them I am finished when I have fully paid the amount I borrowed.
