Payday loans seem to offer a quick fix to your debt problems by allowing you to essentially borrow money from your own paychecks. Unfortunately, this starts most people down a path where they never catch up — living not just paycheck to paycheck, but living one paycheck behind.
Worse, many payday lenders will tell you that you can't declare bankruptcy on payday loans, which is absolutely not true.
You can declare bankruptcy on payday loans.
Worst of all, some payday lenders claim they will have you sent to jail if you do not repay your loan.

The New (And Illegal) Face Of Payday Loans In Washington State
Payday loans are not as common as they once were, and Washington state has placed a limit on the amount of payday loans that any one person can take out. However, many people throughout the Seattle area are still caught in this vicious cycle.
One of the newer problems people face is doing business with online payday companies. These Internet loan sites are often run by unscrupulous individuals who use fraudulent means to collect on your past due payments. In reality, online payday loans are illegal in the state of Washington, and these Internet companies have no legal right to collect on money owed. But this will not stop them from trying — unless you get an attorney involved.
