First off, I'm old, what does OP mean? Second, she did mention they were payday loans. Third, from what I have seen on tv or ads the pqyday loan is backed by your checking account or car title. Can they not dock your pay or reposses the vehicle? I have not had to do this but I have came close so any help is just for future reference.
Scammer speaking money for a Check and Go loan wanting $800.00. He said his business is Division of Pretrial Processing. His name is Lance Wright. He has called up to my place of employment and has called me about seven times on my cell phone threatening me with sending a state locator to my place of employment and residence and take me to county jail. I want this guy found and arrested for causing me emotional distress and worse health problems!
I am sorry this is happening to you. He is a scammer, plain and simply. Try to ignore him but not responding to the calls and he will move on. As you probably know, debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. No one can be put in jail even for a legitimate debt.
The OP may or may not respond since they would have to come back and read your post. The OP doesn't indicate that he or she even had a loan. Be advised the post from Shill Kill is spot on with his info! It would be of your best interest to read through the following:

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans
Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010 FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691
— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

There are no payment arrangement to be made here --- no need for them. Debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. No one is going to take her to jail for this. Either this is a totally illegal collector, or a collector who is violating the FDCPA by threatening a consumer with jail
