i am in payday hell is there anyway i can consolidate them and have only 1 payment.or is there anyone that might give me a loan, i have poor credit but i can pay between 500 to 1000 a month to pay it back. thats alot less than i pay them.


Here is the link to get your state's pdl laws:
http://www.paydayloaninfo.org/
As for the storefronts, you will need to make payment arrangements with them, they are licensed and they can take you to court to get a judgment against you. Now the internet are different, they are not licensed and this gives you room to make settlement arrangements with them. I highly suggest that you file a complaint with your AGs office against them. Then you will either need to block them from debiting your account or close and open a new account. What state are you in, it would help to know this, to give you more accurate advice in your situation, laws vary from state to state. If you have been paying roll over fees for a period of time it may be that you have already paid back the principal and legal interest rate allowed by your state and you could demand they mark your account paid in full.

Don't take a new loan for paying the existing debts. In case, you miss one of the payments, you will be surprised to see the debts multiplying faster. Use other options like a debt management program. They give better results.

Banks offer loans to people with good credit and with good packages. Since your credit scores are not good, you will get the loan at highest interest rates and if any company is giving you the loan, research on them first. Most turn out to be scammers.

I am so sorry I ever got involved in them now I feel like I am trapped for life. I am fixing to just not pay all my bills for a month and give them all my money just to get out of it. But before I do I would like to know what payday loans are not legal in my state. Can anyone help 10 dollar payday, paydayone, paydayselect, gfs, loan shop or xpress cash.

I am in desperate need of advice. I am a single Mom, live in VA, my ex-husband suddenly stopped paying me the $600 a month child support, I panicked and got 4 pdls.
Cash 2 U- $400- pay $60 every two weeks
Check into Cash- $500- pay $75 every two weeks
Quik Cash- $500- pay $75 every two weeks
Check N Go- $500- pay $75 every two weeks

With these paymenst I can't afford to pay anything on the pricipal amount, it is a never ending circle. The top two pdls I have been paying on for nine months! The bottom two I have only been paying on for about three-four months. What can I do? It seemed like such a huge help at first but now I can't get out!

I currently have 3 payday loans two of which are from magnumfunding.com, unitedcashloans.com and I can't get rid of them. I got one and then another one to pay for the other one and then another one. I live in AL and have looked at the site but can't say that I completely understand what my rights are. I just really need help. Is there any way to ease this burden?

Please do not go to another site.

This site is perfectly capable of helping you with your payday loan problems.

Can you please list some info for us?

What state are you in?

Are these internet loans or storefronts?

How much did you borrow on each loan?

How much have you paid back so far in fees?

sorry yippee. none of these loans are legal in your state because NC prohibits pay day loans. Basically you'll need file a complaint with your state AG, BBB and the FTC. Please read the sticky on the forum page regarding closing your bank account. After you do that you'll need to send a cease & desist letter to each of the PDL's. On this site we promote paying back the principle only if the pdl is illegal.

Sue you for what. These loans are illegal. You need to close your account and open a new account. We have all done it. Your pay check can be put into another account.That is the only way they will stop taking your money. Stopping payment will do no good. these companies use a million different names and you can not tell which one they will debit under. The account needs to be closed and the new account info must never be given out

You can contact your bank & ask them if they can put it on deposit only status or put a hard debit block on it. If the bank will not work with you is there any way you can get a paper check until you can get your bank acct closed? These people will keep debiting your acct otherwise. No they cannot sue you..they will harrass you to death, but they can't sue you. You need to gain control of your money asap!

thanks for registering paula. Kash should be able to provide you with some really good info. She has been on this site for a long time. Take a deep breath, no body is going to sue you or take you to jail or anything else. Is there anyway you can get with your payroll dept today & ask for a paper check instead of it going in direct deposit?

no one will sue you. All loan docs say that. Dont be terrified, they are breaking the law not you. They are illegal, how can an illegal company sue you? They cant. So just relax.
After your account is closed you will make arrangements to pay the balance on the one loan you owe and you will start to get letters out demanding refunds on the three that you have overpaid on. Just take care of your account. That is the first thing.
