I would suggest calling your payday lender as soon as you realise that you will be missing a payment for your payday loan. Do not wait for the reminder call from the payday lender as this may pose an impression that you are not willing to repay the amount and put you at the risk of having a bad credit.  Remember that once blacklisted for having a bad credit, it becomes difficult to acquire loan in future as all the lending companies have the policy of checking the credit history of the applicant before approval.
