Question:
Dear Steve,
I’m on Social Security.
I get only $579.00 a month. I have 2 payday loans, $657.00 & $557.00
I can afford to keep paying the interest of $147.00 & $95.00 each month cause I’m able to pay anything toward the Principal.
I need some kind of help. What is your charge to help me? Cause if I miss a payment, they hit my bank and take all money at once. I don’t get enough money to pay both, cause then the bank would charge $37.50 each time they send. And request the bank to pay. Please, if you can’t help, could you refer me to someone who can?
Thank you
Hazel
Answer:
Dear Hazel,
I’m happy to give you free advice. I do not charge for any services.
I would bet that the payday loans were taken out to help with some expenses because you find it very hard to live on $579 a month.
Typically I would first suggest bankruptcy to terminate the old payday loans, but in your situation, I think the struggle to live is going to be ongoing and more debt might build up so there is no need to rush to file.
I would suggest you contact the very kind people at HELPS, a nonprofit law firm. They can help you with very little—expense to deal with the payday loans and protect your Social Security benefits.
You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.
