Hello, I'm in washington state, and I have three payday loans.
Money Tree - $379.50
Ace - $276
Check Into Cash - $345

The problem is I've gotten into the endless cycle of loans and reloans to be able to pay bills every month, and I just can't afford it any longer. :( I recently got on a payment plan with Money Tree and payed it off, and they said I'm only allowed one per year (so spring of 2010).
I'm on a fixed income, of just less than $700 per month. I'm seriously considering just closing my bank account. With Ace and Check into Cash I have had only two loans with them so far.
Can you give any advice? I cannot pay anything in september, but I can start paying in small increments in october because of just so many bills. :(
Thanks if you can help.


Hello Talin,

Are these pdls directly taking money from your account? If so, then you may send each of them letters revoking their rights to debit money from your bank account.

By the way, have you checked the legal status of all these lenders in your state?

All three pdls had me give them a check. Two of them had me write it out, Ace just printed void on it.
How can I check the legal status? I'm positive that Check into Cash and Money Tree are legal, I used to see their commercials ALL the time.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Ace and Check into Cash expect me to come directly to their store and pay them cash, whereas Money Tree will take it directly out of my account if I don't.
I have until Sept. 3 to figure it all out.

IMO you need to work out repayment plans with the other lenders too. Hope they would allow you to set up a repayment plan with them if you inform them that you would default if they don't agree to it. Since the pdls are legal, you have no choice but to repay what you owe to them.

I will try, but I am nearly positive they wont. I just had a payment plan with Money Tree and recently payed it off (2 months ago). They said I'm only allowed one per year, so it will be spring 2010 before I can.
With the other two, as far as I know you have to have 4 consecutive loans before you can do an extended payment plan. I've only had 2 with each of them. :(
Is there nothing else I can do?

I'm not trying to be a troublemaker, I'm being honest and what it seems like to me. I come here for help, I read that one bragging thread where someone got out of paying the pdl because it wasn't "legal". Yet I'm in a bad situation and may have to close my bank account if they aren't willing to work with me, and I get very little help and am told to just call the corporate offices.
I'm doing that in a little bit, but I will bet you, they will NOT work with me.

If you're the OP, the issue is that your loans are with legal, licensed lenders. They are following the regulations set forth by the state of Washington and have the right to conduct business as the regulations instruct them to. From what was stated in the opening post, they have done nothing wrong.

I just called Ace and Money Tree. MoneyTree extended it to October, Ace wouldn't budge, and they said it will go to collections if I can't pay the full amount by the very end of september. I still can't find the corporate number to Check Into Cash.
@PDLOwner, I just checked and it says I have no PM's. ???

funny, I tried the local pay day loan places here in WA state they denied me, but online they approved me... funny how that happens, but all those places are local and regulated and legal.

First and foremost, stop stressing over things you can't control, yes you owe the money and they may not work with you, but take a look at your situation and concentrate on what YOU can do. If it means closing your bank account then do it. Trust me I have done it before didnt want to but I did what I had to do to get out of my situation. I am not debt free but I am paying off the debt and I stopped worrying about all the what if's. You can always get a prepaid debit card if you need one and just pay what you can. We all dont like collection companies but again do what you can to keep yourself sane and above water and in time it will work out.

I did my best to work with the pay day loan people and or collection companies. The first thing you need to do is work on a sound budget. If you cant do that then you wont get above water. Work on your budget then find where you can cut down on cost. Use that savings to pay down those loans. Pay one loan off at a time if that is what it takes. Don't get yourself further behind, start to get above water.

Easy to type it I know but in time things will work out.
