I have 3 loans out:
nationwide 400.00 owe 520.00
Lakota 400.00 owe 520.00
Brighton 200.00 owe 285.00
Payday loans are not what they used to be. You pay it off or extend it. They are automatically extending on each payday, each time charging another finance fee but nothing is going toward the principal. So, over 4 pay periods you pay 480.00 but still owe 520.00, the 400.00 plus the 120.00 interest. After 4 pay periods they take 120.00 plus 50.00 towards the principal per paycheck.They just keep debiting. Is this legal?

these lenders are not only illegal in MD.where pdl's are prohibited,but they illegal everywhere.please try to remember how much was debited up till now,or prior to default.you only owe the principle,and anything in fees debited you deduct from the amount owed.

well first try to remember how much if anything was debited by each prior to default.deduct that from the loan.go to the sticky titled DEALING WITH ILLEGAL LENDERS at the top of this forum.it will guide you.btw yes if anything is owed we do advocate paying back what was borrowed.
