Best Answer

The payday lender will initiate legal collections processes (under the FDCPA) and make all attempts to collect the debt.

If after all collection efforts complete the borrower has not paid, the lender may sue them in civil court to recover their monies (plus any costs associated with the collection process).

Because payday loans are low, many lenders just writeoff the amount and don't pursue legal recourse.

Legally, one cannot be arrested for not paying a payday loan UNLESS the loan was acquired under fraudulent means.
