I am currently just a few days late on a car payment. I am ineligible for a deferment and have not yet received calls from the lender. I do not think I will be able to catch up before the next payment is due and cannot afford to make a double payment at the next due date. I plan to call the lender to ask if I can pay the current payment on the due date next month and then catch up on my next paydate two weeks later. My question, and this may be a silly one, is when you call and let them know that you can't make the payment could this speed up repossession? I believe my loan states that anything beyond 30 days they can begin repossession process, so I'm not quite there yet.

I am working my way (slowly) out of payday loan hell and can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel (most days). I paid one loan off last week, will pay another loan off next week and another one in just a few weeks. It's a slow painful (and humbling) process, but I'm getting there.


It is best to keep the auto lender in the loop so they know what's going on. When you ignore them, that's when the trouble starts, plus you'll start getting calls everyday. They get nervous when an account is late. So I would make those payment arrangements with them.

May I ask WHY you are putting your car in jeopardy in order to satisfy the payday loans? Your mortgage, car, food, utilities should come first. I would suggest you make your car payment on time (because this affects your credit report) and tell the payday loan company that you can only make a partial or it will be 2 weeks late. Most of them don't report the loans to the credit agencies.

The payday loan firms should be the last to be paid.
