I had to take out $2500 in payday loans to pay some emergency medical bills. The interest alone is going to cost me $550 each pay period (twice a month). I know all of the horror stories of taking these out, but I had no one else to get a loan from. I looked up several companies that say they can negotiate with the payday loan lenders, just like when you consolidate credit cards. I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of or knew anyone that had done business with PDL Assistance or Langhorne Debt Solutions. PDL Assistance told me that I could have these paid off in 10 months with a $230/month payment. They will email me the contract and I have to send them the form back that authorizes them to talk to my 3 lenders to negotiate the loans. They will also send me a form to take to my bank that will stop the 3 lenders from withdrawing any further debits from my account. They did not tell me to close my account. Any suggestions?

I wouldn’t use those consolidattors – they’ll ding your credit report and charge high fees.
If you’re really solid financially and can pay it off, I would try to get vetted by prosper.com and see if you can get a small loan to float this off – you may need to do one small loan and pay it off to show that you’re credit worthy.
