I closed my checking account yesterday and my loans are due today. Now what? Do I need to contact each of my payday providers?
I live in FL
PayDay One: original $500, owe $613
CashNetUSA: original $700, owe $882
CashCentral: original $300, owe $413 (I think)


I'm going to go ahead and post your laws. :)

Yes, they're all internet loans. I've refinanced on all of them at least once for the amount above the original. I just had to do something or else I'd have to get another payday loan just to cover those...it really is a vicious cycle.
I understand the FL laws (thank you for posting them) and if I call the payday loan providers, what do I tell them? Should I bypass the payday loan people and the ACH processing people like I read about on another forum? Thanks for your help, this Web site's been a lifesaver!

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. I would call the processors asap. And you must be persistant with them, tell them you need them to call your payday loan comapnies and tell them they can NOT debit your account any longer because you have revoked it! After you speak with them, send them an email also, and you could even send emails to these pdl companies and tell them you have contacted their processors.

I did some checking and am pretty sure that all of your pdl's are legal, the next step is for you to figure out how much you owe them, then set up some sort of payment arrangemnents with them, you will most likely need to send with money orders so they can't get your new bank information.
