First stay calm.

Next we need to know the name of each company, if they are a store front or an internet loan. How much the loan was for and how much you have paid towards each loan.

In the mean time here are the laws for MO.

First the store fronts.

Advance America & CheckSmart are both members of CFSA which means that they offer an EPP, Extended Payment Program. They can break the loan into 4 equal payments over 4 paydays with out added fees or interest.

Speedy Cash may be a member as well. There are two SpeedyCash listed on the CFSA member list but I am not sure if one of them is the same one you are dealing with.

The other three store fronts I do not show as members of CFSA but they may still offer an EPP. You are going to have to call or go in and ask.

Just remember that an EPP can only be taken before you default on the loan.

Sonic Cash is illegal. How much did you borrow and how much have you paid back?

I can't seem to find anything on "500Cash". Could they be called "500 Fast Cash"?

Yes, do stay calm. The most that they can do to you is worry you to death. Your problem is not impossible, I have had great success with the payday loans and getting them to accept payments at a lower amount, so if you still need help just give me a call, (telephone number removed for your safety. cannr)

You need to send the illegal ones a letter stating that they are illegal. If you have paid the principle of the loan then you are done with them.

Here is a copy of the template you can use. You will need to tailor it for your state and loan information.

Your Name

After doing research regarding Internet payday loan laws in the State of _______, I have found that your Internet payday loans are actually illegal. I have also found the following laws to be true applying to payday loans in the State of _____ in general:

Your State Information

I hereby revoke any and all ACH authorizations with your company from debiting any of my personal accounts, per Federal law, Regulation E Section 205.10 Preauthorized transfers. I have closed my account with the XXXXXX to protect my interest in this matter, per instructions from The _____ Department of Finance. I also revoke any and all wage assignments I may or may not have signed with your company, I no longer authorize you, your company, or your affiliates to attach any part of my wages or contact my employer for your collection purposes. I have notified my employer about this matter so any attempts to do so on your part will be rejected.

I demand that any contact be made through US Postal mail or email only. I will need everything in writing to keep accurate records of all communication as per instruction from my Attorney General's Office.
I prohibit you or your affiliates to contact me via telephone at my place of employment or my home
telephone number. I also prohibit you from calling my references listed on my loan.

Due to the fact that Internet payday loans must be licensed in the state of ____ to be a legal and binding contract, your company should NOT issue loans to ____ residents at all. I am requesting that you send me your license number which enables you to offer loans to ____ residents.

The legal amount that could have been charged to my loan is the principal amount, even IF your Internet pay day loan were legal anywhere in the U.S.. I am willing to pay the principle amount of the loan only, however, this is only if you provide me with a physical address where I can send payments.

I must also inform you that I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and the ____ Attorney General's Office.

I expect a response from your company no later than 5 days from the above date regarding this matter. This response may only come via US Postal mail or email. No telephone contact is permitted.

Sincerely,

Your Name
CC:
Better Business Bureau
Ohio Attorney General
Federal Trade Commission


You can email, send certified USPS or fax or do all three. I only emailed mine but it depends on the company if they respond.
