I believe people have stated that T and C does not work with NC residents. Where are you located in NC? You may be able to get free advice through The Women's Center of North Carolina. They provide a service in which an attorney volunteers about 15 min for a conversation on the phone in which they can offer you free legal advice.

It will be better paying off the debt if the lenders give it to you in writing and in a valid form. The maximum fee permissible in North Carolina is 15%. So, you must make sure that the lenders don't charge you more than the permissible rates in your state.

PDL's are illegal in NC. And I believe the max. apr allowed in North Carolina is 39% or so, although I may be off on that. I am pretty sure it is somewhere between 29%-39%. I would look it up, but I'm feeling lazy to today.
