NO. No matter what state you reside in, a debt is debt. It is always a civil matter, not a criminal one. The only difference would be a storefront lender whom you physically wrote a check to. In that case, you would be writing a bad check. Chances are, your loan was an internet loan. You never wrote a check. It is a loan. They will make threats trying to scare you into paying them. It is illegal for them to do that. Many states have made payday lending illegal. You would need to research your State and find out.

What is the law if you do not pay your payday loan?

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.

If a Payday Loan company hires a collection agency to collect on your account they can send your account to an attorney to collect the amount of the loan and any NSF fees that you have accumulated.

What happens if you don't pay an online payday loan?

Generally, the payday lender will conduct collection processes in order to receive their money. Some lenders will sell the debt to a third-party collector and some will do the collection themselves. Depending on the situation (and the amount of money involved), the lender may sue you in order to get a judgment to pay them. If this is the first time that you have not paid a payday loan, you will likely get harassed for a while, but they will be unlikely to come after you. If this is the second time that you have not paid a payday loan and you are working with the same company, they will most certainly come after you for the money.
