I have a cash advance loan out and don’t have the cash to pay it back. If the post dated check goes through I will be in major debt. I wanted to put a stop payment on my check. What action will the lenders take?

    They will take you to collections and keep calling you daily and your references. They may also take to to small claims court after a while to try to get their money. If your worried about bouncing the check and getting in trouble legally, don’t be. The payday loan is a loan and nothing more. The only action they can take is the same as if you didn’t make your credit card payment.

    I hope this helps you. I hate payday loan places, because of their predator loan practices.

    They will harras the hell out of you by calling you at your place of employment, at your home. Depending on the size of the loan they may start legal procedures but that is usually for amounts over 1500. If they are one of the kinder ones they will offer for you to pay it in 2 installments as oppossed to the lump sum. If it goes unpaid for 1 full year, they will charge the amount off and sell your account to a collection agency who will probably offer you a settlement of 50 to 70 percent of the balance.

    They will probably either send bill collectors after you, or they will pursue legal action.

    I hate payday loan places, because of their predator loan practices? What a typical uneducated statement.

    It is predatory not predator. What is more predatory? A short term payday loan that charges you a fee of $15 to $25 per $100 loaned for two weeks or a $35 NSF and daily overdrafts that can cause more NSF fees from a bank?

    You needed a loan that apparently you were were unable to get from your bank and now you want to forgo paying it back by placing a stop payment on the check. You received a service for a fee and stopping the check for false reasons is fraud.

    Depending on who you received your loan with, they could cause you a lot of grief. If they are reputable then you should call them to work out a payment plan (not a rollover option). No lending institution wants a loan to default.

    Good luck

    Maybe you should call the Payday lender and ask what kind of programs they have. I know in the state I live in, they have a loan program that will break up the amount of loan and make it payable in four installments (one time a year). It’s always better to try to pay off your debt, than to try to avoid paying your debt all together. Eat ramen noodles for a month or three, who knows! Having collectors after you is no way to live either! Putting a stop payment on your check, will get you into trouble, (with the bank, that’s fraud) if the lender presents your original contract! Maybe just call the lender and try to work it out first!

    Payday lenders do not try to make your life miserable, but they will try to collect the money you owe them. With the payday loan lender I currently go through, they have an in house collections department. As long as payment arrangements are made, they do not continue to call. All these lenders want is for their customers to make an effort or show that they are willing to try to pay the loan back within a reasonable time. Payday lending is not a bad thing, however, these loans should be used only when needed.

    So these comments are not very fair. I would like to express how payday loans have really helped me and my family out. If I didn’t have the option of doing a short term loan I don’t know what we would have done, not had the money for gas to get to and from work. My suggestion to you “Pretty Girl”, is to just extend the loan until you can pay it and if at all possible pay some towards the principal so the interest will be prorated. If people would just borrow only what they need and pay it off when it’s due they really can be helpful. Sincerely, Payday loan customer.

    It is always better to try and payoff your loan with them, becuase they can go legal and garnish your paycheck and possibly hurt your credit score. Some companies do have several options to help you pay off your loan. The last thing they what to do is go legal or send your check to collections, becuase it is so expensive for them, so in most case they can help you set up payments.
