no, they cannot take you to court. you are still responsible for the loan plus late interest plus default charges and nsf in the bank but actually its just a empty threat. What really happens is it goes to a collection department, who buys the loan from the loan company and they deal with it. it might hit your credit hard but at the same time it might not it depends on the company. I work in the industry and trust me so many people don't pay us its sickening but we can't do nothing about it!!!!

No, you never have to go to court if you were served with papers, however, showing up to court may help you as the case progresses.

If you have not obtained legal counsel and can afford to do so, you are better off retaining an attorney and that individual will be better placed to help you decide what your strategy should be regarding the civil suit brought on by the payday lender.

If you are not in a position to hire a lawyer and want a chance to avoid having a judgment made against you in the pending civil suit, you are better off going to court. You will have a chance to tell your side of the story and your showing up suggests that you do care about your responsibilities, potentially allowing you to reach a workout with the lender.

Most payday lenders will not go after people unless the case is fairly strong and the amount of money is significant.
