A: There is no way to rebut anything via this online free Q&A forum. You need to sit down with an attorney in your area and get advice regarding the whole situation. You may be stuck as you willingly made the loan which is very likely based upon a written contract. The Payday loan people do not have to vary from the loan paperwork and can demand full payment under the terms.
