Payday and Money Tree

Payday loans through companies like MoneyTree are perfect when you need them fast. However, not all payday loan providers play fair.

What Are Your Legal Options To Get Rid Of Payday Loan Debt In Spokane County?

You don't have to handle payday loan debt on your own. There are legal options in Spokane County to get them to stop.

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: If you're dealing with payday loans, Chapter 7 can be a game-changer. It allows the court to discharge unsecured debts like payday loans, giving you a fresh start (11 U.S.C. § 727).
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: If you're eligible for Chapter 13, you can reorganize your debts into a payment plan that's more manageable for your budget. Chapter 13 gives you a chance for long-term relief while keeping your assets safe (11 U.S.C. § 1322).
  • Debt Negotiation And Settlement: Working with an experienced attorney, you can negotiate with payday lenders to settle for a reduced amount. Under Washington State's Debt Adjusters Act (RCW 18.28), we ensure that settlements are negotiated fairly and in your best interest.
  • Debt Management Plans (DMP): A DMP helps you consolidate multiple payday loans into one payment. Having one payment simplifies your financial obligations, making it easier to get back on track.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Ending Your Payday Loan Debt
Q: Does bankruptcy stop payday loan lenders from taking money from my bank account?

A: In bankruptcy, you receive a legal protection called an automatic stay. Under 11 U.S. Code § 362, the automatic stay immediately halts payday loan lenders from withdrawing funds directly from your bank account or any other collection actions.

Q: How quickly do payday loans end when I file for bankruptcy in Washington State?

A: How quickly the courts discharge your loans depends on the type of bankruptcy you file. When you file for Chapter 7 under 11 U.S. Code § 727, the courts typically discharge your payday loan debt within 3 to 6 months. If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy under 11 U.S. Code § 1322, the repayment plan will last 3 to 5 years, but payday loan debt can be eliminated or reduced as part of the repayment process during that time.

Q: How do payday loan lenders know I filed for bankruptcy in Spokane?

A: When you file for bankruptcy, the court notifies all of your creditors, including payday loan lenders, as required by 11 U.S. Code § 342. This official notification alerts them to the automatic stay under 11 U.S. Code § 362, which stops them from continuing their collection efforts.

Q: What happens if payday loan lenders refuse to stop contacting me after I file for bankruptcy?

A: If payday loan lenders continue to contact you after you file your bankruptcy petition, they are violating the automatic stay under 11 U.S. Code § 362. In this case, you can take legal action against the lenders, and we can help protect your debtors' rights by ensuring they cease any further collection efforts.

"I can't say enough great things about Jason Newcombe Law Office. I am retired military and I highly recommend Jason Newcombe Law Office. I reached out to Jason's office after sitting for hours reviewing multiple Domestic Violence Law Offices in King County. He responded before that day was over. I spoke with Jason's both in-person and by phone; felt very comfortable with his years of experience and straight talk. He took on my case, took me through the process with sound advice. The Attorney Erin Lane who accompanied me with my court appearances; can't praise and thank her enough for her time, selflessness and educational information prior to each court appearance. She made a really daunting task for me less fearful, given such grim circumstances. I am forever grateful for Jason and the Team of Attorneys." Tommy Harville
