 | | When the next payday comes around, the borrower can either pay the lender or roll over the loan, often ending up in a cycle of growing debt. |
 | | "Unable to pay back the loan, a lot are rolled over two or three times," said Jim Drogue, vice president of operations at the Wisconsin Credit Union League, located in City of Pewaukee. |
 | | The bank allows overdrafts of $400 to $700 at a cost of $20 each, and the account balance must be brought to zero within a month, said Greg Huber, manager of the Brookfield branch. |
