My payday or bank details details have changed. What do I do?
If your payday has changed, or you have new banking details, please contact our customer service team at 1-877-606-KING (1-877-606-5464) or send us an email request at Service@PaydayKing.ca as soon as possible. Our customer care specialists will make the necessary changes!
What if I have problems repaying my loan?
We understand that people’s circumstances can change. If this is the case, you must let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to help.
The most important things to note are:
Do you practice Responsible Lending?
Payday King is committed to responsible lending.
What are the Implications of Late Payment?
If we receive your payment after the due date of your loan, it will be considered late, and you will be charged a fee of $49.50 from Payday King. You may also incur an overdraft charge from your bank. In addition, an annualized interest of 59% will accrue from the loan repayment date up to and including the actual repayment date. For example, and for complete clarity, say a payment of $240 dollars is due on June 10 but payment is received on June 15. In this case, you would be charged interest as follows: $240.00 x 59% x 5 days / 365 days = $1.94. The best way to avoid making late payments is have sufficient funds in your bank account on your payment due date.
What are the Implications of Non-payment?
If a pre-authorized withdrawal is returned to Payday King for any reason, including but not limited to "NSF," "account frozen," it will be considered as a non-payment. In these cases you will be charged an NSF fee of $49.50 from Payday King. You may also incur an overdraft charge from your bank. Payday King would then attempt a subsequent withdrawal on your next pay date for the original amount owed. In addition, an annualized interest of 59% will accrue from the loan repayment date up to and including the eventual repayment date. For example, and for complete clarity, say your pay cycle is every 14 days and a payment of $240 dollars is due on June 10 but payment is received on June 24. In this case, you would be charged interest as follows: $240.00 x 59% x 14 days / 365 days = $5.43.
If this withdrawal is again returned to Payday King for any reason, Payday King will turn over your delinquent account to a third party collection agency. NO interest would accrue from the most recent non-payment date going forward. For clarity, NO interest accrues as of the date the delinquent account is turned over to a third party collection agency.
Payday King has agreements with third party collections agencies, authorizing them to collect on delinquent accounts. Accounts may be settled for less than the amount actually owing, at the discretion of the collection agency. What is your Renewal Policy? Pursuant to relevant payday loan statutes and regulations, Payday King does not offer refinances, rollovers or extensions to its payday loans in any jurisdictions that prohibit refinances, rollovers, or extensions Are you Compliant with Regulations?
