Frequently Asked Questions About CBOCS West / CURO Financial
Can a payday lender sue me?
They can file a lawsuit, but many payday loans violate state usury laws. If the loan itself was illegal, you may not owe the debt. Check your state's laws on payday lending.
Is the interest rate on my payday loan legal?
Many states cap interest rates on consumer loans. If the rate exceeds your state's limit, the loan may be void or unenforceable. This is a strong defense.
Can they take money from my bank account?
Many payday lenders require access to your bank account. If they make unauthorized withdrawals, contact your bank to stop them and file a complaint with the CFPB.
Can I go to jail for not paying a payday loan?
No. Failure to pay a debt is not a crime. If a collector threatens criminal prosecution, this is a serious FDCPA violation.
