First and foremost, payday loans are usually the loans that you get you into trouble the most. Many states don't have caps on the interest rates charged.
Second, you can try to claim bankruptcy. However, that is something you need to review with your bankruptcy lawyer. Many courts will not allow abuse of the system, so if you start getting multiple loans within a certain amount of time before you file, the court may not allow you to claim them as debts to be discharged.
