What can I do if I paid off a payday loanbut they are demanding another payment?
I paid the loan off early. The next day I received a call stating that I owed them another payment from a previous payment that was never withdrawn from my bank account. I asked how this was possible and she stated that the payment was never taken out. I have all the paperwork stating that my loan was paid in full. Should I make the payment or can I fight this?

Do you have documents proving that you paid off your obligation on your end to the person who gave you the loan? Meaning cancelled checks and monthly bank statements or was there some error by your bank showing a payment by you where one never happened due to bank error and one payment is still owed.
If there was a bank error and you actually owe one more payment on the loan, the right thing to do is to make the payment don't you think? Perhaps the best thing to do is to ask for all records from the company that made you the loan to review and cross reference with your records and documents to resolve this loan issue?
