Do payday lenders in The Dalles check your credit?
Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report.

Do payday loans show up on your credit report?
Many payday lenders do not report regular, on-time payments to the three major credit bureaus, so the loan often doesn't appear on a standard credit report.
