Q&A: With these payday loans…what happens if you close your checking account account and just not pay them back?

Question by Sizematic: With these payday loans…what happens if you close your checking account account and just not pay them back?
I have a direct deposit account w/ one of these companies… but the interest is killing me and I’m just barely able to get by. I’m considering closing my checking account and not paying them back. Its not nice, or fare, but I’m just getting my start out of college and I want to be free of this debt

Will the interest just continue to accrue and accrue and accrue?

Eek! Payday loan places are serious about getting their money. If you close your account, you are in breech of contract, they’ll come after you, sue you, and you’ll end up in worse shape than you are now. Call them and see if there is any way to have your interest rate lowered, or work out a more suitable payment option. They’re vicious, they may kill your dog…
Best of luck,
