Extend Your Loan

Most payday loan companies understand that borrowers may find themselves unable to pay back their loan on its due date. Fortunately, extensions are available that allow you to pay a minimum interest fee, while extending the remaining balance until your next payday.
Payment Plan
-
If you find yourself unable to pay back your loan even after receiving several extensions, many payday loan companies will work with you by establishing a payment plan that allows you to pay back your debt in smaller, more affordable lump sums.

Compiling Interest
-
The unfortunate reality of payday loans is the enormous interest rate they carry. According to Credit.com, the average annual percentage rate (APR) for a payday loan is 400 percent.
Facing Collections
-
Failure to fulfill your loan agreement or payment arrangements will result in your debt being turned over to a collection agency.
Considerations
-
Ensure that you budget your finances wisely before taking out a payday loan. By extending your loan several times over, you will ultimately pay back a sum greater than originally written in your loan contract once late fees, interest rates and extension fees are taken into consideration.
