I currently have XXXX {$300.00} payday loans from XXXX different storefronts in my neighborhood : XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and Advance America. I also borrowed an installment loan in the amount of {$2600.00} from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I am drowning in debt and I ca n't handle it anymore. I need some relief. This is very stressful and expensive. 

I first started using payday loans about 6 or 7 years ago. My current situation of using multiple payday loans every two weeks started at the end of XX/XX/XXXX. My roommate moved out and I had to figure out how to cover all of my housing expenses on my own. At this point, I 've been churning XXXX payday loans every two weeks for over two years, and I 've paid an estimated {$10000.00} in fees, at least. To make matters worse, I 've been paying {$140.00} every two weeks on a XXXX XXXX installment loan, and I 've already paid {$2200.00} between XXXX of last year and XXXX of this year. But my total balance as of XXXX XXXX is still {$2600.00}! How is this even possible? 

On top of my outstanding payday and installment loans, I have a car note from my credit union that I pay {$320.00} a month on, plus {$180.00} in insurance. Plus, my rent is {$1100.00} every month. After taxes, I only bring home about {$1800.00} a month. So this is really hurting me and I 've reached my breaking point. I 'm really struggling to figure out a way to get out of all this expensive, cyclical debt. I do n't want to default on the loans, but at this point I 'm not seeing another alternative. I recently received XXXX utility disconnection notices from my gas, water and light companies. To make matters worse, I 'm also facing being laid off from work in the next few months. 

I need help. I do not have the ability to repay all these loans. I recently found out that it 's against the law for lenders to extend multiple loans to a borrower with an outstanding loan. So legally I should n't have even been able to get XXXX payday loans plus an installment loan at once. Can the CFPB help me in any way?
