No. Most the time Pay day loan companies will sue you in court. They do have a right to file criminal charges if you intentionally closed your checking account to avoid the check or change account numbers. This is illegal.

Any lender can file suit against the debtor/borrower to recover monies owed. In the matter of criminal charges being brought concerning the check that depends upon the circumstances.

Can you get arrested for doing a stop payment on a post dated check for a payday loan company?

Answer 1No but they'll turn it over to collection and sock you with a HUGH collection fee. And of course you'll never be able to use their services (or any other payday loan places for that matter. They all keep in touch with each other for that very reason) again. Answer 2In Texas, if one stops payment of a check to anyone, the person to who the check was presented can go to the localDistrict Attorney's office, file a criminal complaint, and after an investigation, the DA can file criminal charges against the person who presented and stopped the check. Such charges usually don't involve an arrest, UNLESS the actor fails to properly respond to a Summons which will be issued. I'm not positive, but I think the Texas statute and charge is something about theft of services by conversion.Anyway, stopping a check to anyone can result in a lot trouble, unless you can legally justify it. j3h.

Can a payday loan company press criminal charges on you?

If you defaulted on a payday loan, that is not a criminal offense. It is a civil matter, just like not making the payments on a credit card. Lenders and collectors are prohibited from making threats to file criminal charges or have you arrested. Payday lenders can be notorious for this, but they are just trying to scare you into paying them. If your state allows payday loans, then they may be able to sue you in court for defaulting on a loan. Some states have made payday lending illegal. Check with your state attorney general or financial regulator to find out about state laws that may affect you. Also check out the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act on the FTC.gov website. This federal law governs collections, and actually entitles you to sue the creditor for violations. You may also want to consult a consumer rights attorney. If you're in Texas, check out Budd Hibbs website about this.
