I have 12 pay day loans in South Carolina. All are store front. I'm paying 517.50 every two weeks in fees. I can no longer maintain them and will have to default. I've tried to obtain loans but got denied. What should I do? Please advise.

Most store fronts will allow you to get an EPP, Extended Payment plan but you must request one before you default.

They can split the initial loan into four equal payments over four paydays.

If you default the store fronts will deposit the original check into your bank account. If they bounce then they will be sent to their collection department.

You will also get a NSF fee for each one that bounces at your bank. You may be better off to contact each and see what arrangements can be made.

Go to the CFSA website and check to see which store fronts are members. They must allow you an EPP, however, there are some store fronts that still offer the plan even if they are not members of CFSA. You can also call each store front and ask if they offer an EPP but do this prior to defaulting.

Guys, the EPP is a wonderful tool to get out of a PDL or 2. In the case of the OP, with 12 loans out, there is no way that they will be able to handle the payment required by the EPP. In this case, they need to contact the corp office, spell out EXACTLY how far they are buried and beg for their assistance. In most cases, they will work out a better repayment plan so that they can "cut thier loss".

In a climate where there is noise of new legislation being introduced, the last theing that any one wants is to be the headline in a story about how a PDL company caused a person financial hardship.

When you contact the corp office, have all of your loans listed on a paper in front of you, maintain calm and explain your situation. Contrary to what you may want to believe, most storefront operations will work with you and not against you when you get to the correct person. The store level personell are not generally able to make decisions on payments where as the executives have the authority.

With 12 loans, you are in very deep and need a better payment plan than 4 equal payments.
