Hello! Hoping I can get the help I need here......I have two payday loans that I don't want to pay on anymore cuz I have already paid on the principal. One is Zoca Loans - Borrowed $450 paid back $472.16 ...... Second, Green Trust Cash - Borrowed $550 paid back $620.44. I live in AZ and I just found out that payday loans are illegal here. I am going to close my bank account so that they can't take any money out of my account. I am not going to give these companies anymore money. Could I get in trouble for these loans? What do I say to the loan companies? Any and all help is appreciated. I've read some great success stories on here so I am hoping to have the same outcome. Thank you in advance!


You are doing the right thing. Those two PDLs are illegal in AZ, and as you have paid off the principal amount, they can't bother you you legally anymore.
You may keep your bank accounts open. You just need to withdraw the ACH authorization, contact your bank and give them instructions.
They might send you several emails but just reply them that you're not going to pay a single penny to them anymore.

You have made the right decision buddy. You won't get in trouble for these payday loans. It's just that these lenders will send you letters after letters. But don't bother. They can't harm you. You should inform that you won't pay a penny since the principal amount has been paid off already.

Best of luck!!!

Since they are not legal lenders, they can't claim you the interest rate. Contact your bank to evoke the ACH authorization. If the lenders irritate you for the money, you can make a complaint against them to the State's attorney general.

Thank you!

Is there a letter or a form I need to send to them to let them know that I am not paying them anymore? Should I request a paid in full letter from them? Since I overpaid, should I request this money back? I have closed my bank account instead of doing an ACH Block (stop payment) as Chase wanted to charge me $30. Redoing all of my other auto payments and such is going to be a hassle but that's alright. I will never do these payday loans again.

Not really, you may just send an email that you are going to stop all payment modes.
You may ask for the refund but in such cases the chances are very low, and you can't take any legal actions either.
Yes, don't take out payday loans anymore, it's a wise decision.

Tribal government?? Tribal laws and regulations?? They are fully compliant with all US federal debt collection laws and regulations?? They are just damn liars...!! That's all.
Tribal loans are illegal in all over US. So, do not sign any documents they've sent to you.

You are doing great. keep on your toes and don't fell for any trap from them.

This is what I got back from ZocaLoans........

Should I send in the form they sent me? They can process the payments but they will be rejected because I closed that account and now I have a whole new account number and routing number. They are saying that they are legal in AZ because they are part of the tribe out here. But I paid the principal on this. I'm not paying them any more money.

Tribal loans are not legal. Not even in AZ. So, you can ignore what they are telling you. Yes. You have made the right decision. You shouldn't pay a penny more to them.

You can send the form they sent you. But read the form carefully. It can be a trap.
