Can you go to jail in texas for not paying a payday loan?

Question by James G: Can you go to jail in texas for not paying a payday loan?
I cant pay these loans back and I have post dated checks with the payday loan companies. Im afraid they could prosecute me for the bad post dated checks. What is going to be the best way to handle this situation?

Answer by Gatsby216
Immediately send them a letter via certified mail, keep a copy for you yourself.
State that those post dated checks should not be cashed and you would like them returned to you.
You could put stop payments on those checks, or close the account. Again you could put that in your letter.
I am not sure how that works, as this is more a loan, rather than the normal bad check problem.
But it is a good question, and you need to protect yourself.

No you cant go to jail, but it will screw up your credit and they can take you to court, which means additional fines and court cost for you.
