No, only a prosecutor of the court may bring a criminal case against anyone.

Criminal charges are brought as a result of illegal behavior, not defaulting on a loan. If the default, however, is subsequently believed to be related to fraud, criminal charges may be brought by a prosecutor.

A payday loan company will use EFT to debit your bank account for the amount that is owed on the loan. When they cannot debit the account, they will try multiple times over subsequent days, then they will begin collection processes.

How long can a insurance company request refunds?
