Can a Payday Loan/Cash Advance company report you to the credit bureau if you dont repay?
Brit asked:
I have a Payday Loan/Cash Advance that I didn't pay back now its on my credit report. 1st question is can they do that?? I have recently received some papers in a mail stating that these types of companies are currently in a Class Action Lawsuit. 2nd question…If the case goes in our favor..can I get this taken off my credit report?
Of course they can
They extended you credit and you didn't repay them according to the contract (it's like 5 or 6 pages that you have to sign to take out these loans, lots of small print that informs you they can report you if you do not pay)
Depends on what the class action suit is about. The thing is, by the time the class action suit is ironed out, it would either be off your report (aged off) or you will be sued by them or the collection agency they sell your debt to, so it won't matter.
It's credit, of course it goes on your credit report. It would entirely depend on what the class action suit was about.
Maybe theres no great alternative for you now but there might be shortly. Its tough to deal with sometimes.
