If you are an employee, you have to wait a week, a month or more to receive your paycheck, benefits and bonuses. If only you could time when your paycheck will arrive – wouldn’t it be good if you can get your wages the same day you have to pay your bills? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your car does not break down until the day you receive your paycheck? Wouldn’t it be a miracle if no-one ever falls sick and have to see the doctor or go to hospital until the day your pay is in your bank account? If we could only time all of this, we could save a lot of money. These are the typical circumstances that a payday loan is used for. For a service fee, a payday loan or cash advance means it is now possible for employees to receive their paycheck ahead of payday.

Internet payday institutions allow you, the consumer, to get a payday loan from the privacy and comfort of your own home. This is what we hope to achieve. Most times, there is no need to fax salary stubs, bank statements or anything else to the lending institution, making this process really easy. All that is required is a computer and internet access and you’re all set to get a payday loan. The most important to remember is you ought to ensure that your internet connection is secure. Read “How Safe Are Internet Payday Loans” for more information. Your personal details will be encrypted when your application is submitted through the internet, so the chances of identity fraud are negligible.

Because it is on the internet, no one else knows that you have applied for a payday loan. This is one of the advantages of internet payday loans. If you should accept a payday loan that is offered to you, it is then a private agreement between you and the payday loan company. Nobody else needs to know about your personal finances, anyway.

There is a lot of information about payday loans on the internet. However, most of the internet sites are either trying to sell you something or they have contradictory information.

However, if you are able to find a good internet site on payday lending, it will provide you with everything you ever need to know about payday loans before you apply. This is another advantage of good internet payday institutions. We want to make sure you are happy with all the information you are presented before you proceed to apply for a loan from our network of lenders.

What is APR?

The costs of a loan can be calculated using APR. Apart from interest rates, it takes into account other factors such as high one-time up front charges.

The APR assumes that your loan will be paid off over a long time. For example, if you take out a 20-year loan and you pay it off in 13 years, then your real APR will be much higher than the APR that was quoted to you by your lender. This is because your lender assumes that it will take you the full 20 years to pay off your 20-year loan. Therefore, an APR is most accurate if you don’t pay off your loan until the end of its long term, for example 20 years. This is not recommended – the longer you let your loan run always mean you pay more in interest and the total effect of this is you end up paying your lender a huge amount of money, even though the APR was seemingly low in the first place.

When lenders calculate the APR for you, they can sometimes exclude certain costs in the calculation. This will make your APR seem lower. But rest assured, you’ll be paying those fees even if your lender didn’t include it in the APR calculation! A more honest lender will include all the fees you have to pay. However, this will make your APR appear higher.

You may have noticed that the media has been talking about the “high” APR of payday loans recently. However, they never compare the APR of payday loans with APR of home loans, credit cards and so on. If they did, you will be shocked to learn how high APR of home loans and credit cards really is.

According to M Fusaro of the Economics Department in East Carolina University, if credit unions and banks had to state the APR for their overdraft fees, the median APR would be 4547% (that is, four thousand, five hundred and forty seven percent). This is not widely publicized in the media and that’s why you don’t know about this.

So, why does payday loan have a high APR?

Historically, an APR is a calculation that is applied to long term (for example, 20 years) loan. It was not used as a means to calculate a short term loan. All short term small loans will have a high APR because the term of your loan is short and there is a high cost involved in making out such a loan.

In order to survive, a business must be profitable – this is a truth of life that extends all the way from a barber shop to a bank, from a supermarket to a software company. If your regular bank was able to offer you a short term small loan (which they don’t, currently) they too would charge you a very high APR.

How can you do this better?

Don’t just rely on the APR as you can be tricked by this number. A smaller APR doesn’t necessarily mean a cheaper loan. Understanding how to calculate an APR or, at least, knowing how to compare products using the same parameters in an APR would be important.

Make yourself a little spreadsheet. On this spreadsheet, have different columns for interest rate, closing costs, appraisal fees, inspection fees and other costs. Ask your lender to itemise each cost. In order for you to be able to compare different loans, the amount you want to borrow and how long it will take you to pay off this loan must stay the same. This way, you will be able to “compare apples with apples” and see which loan you want. You could also ask your lender to help you – ask them “tell me exactly why your loan is better than the other guy’s loan?”

We agree that little or no knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you don’t know what you are doing, everything is dangerous. In the past, there were some borrowers who jumped into payday loans without fully understanding what they were getting themselves into. They didn’t understand what a payday loan is or how this system works generally. We hope that this website has been able to explain this to you satisfactorily.

Once a loan is approved, the lender presents a loan agreement to the borrower. All the information a potential borrower needs to know, including terms and rates of the loan, is contained in this agreement. There were borrowers of the past who accepted the loan without reading or understanding this agreement. You are supposed to understand this agreement before you accept this loan that is offered to you. If you have any questions regarding this agreement, if there is anything you need explained to you, please ask your particular lender directly before you sign the agreement. We cannot answer questions about the specific loan that has been offered to you, so you need to contact your lender directly.

Once you understand how payday loan works and the terms and conditions of the agreement with your lender and you are happy with it, now you know exactly what you are doing. At this point, a payday loan is no longer a ‘dangerous thing’ for you.

In conclusion, no, payday loans are not dangerous.

Our country has experienced a boom in the payday loan industry since 2000. Over this time, there is an ever-increasing number of payday loan retail shops all over the US. More recently, as Americans become more computer-savvy and have internet access, payday loan businesses have started to operate online. Some of these internet businesses are extensions of the traditional physical retail shops or chains and some are purely internet payday loan businesses.

When internet shopping first started, there were many people who were uncomfortable with this concept. When internet banking first started, a similar uncertainty was experienced. With time, this uncertainty changed and now, most people are comfortable shopping or do their banking on the internet. Similarly, if you are more familiar with traditional physical payday loan shops, you may be uncomfortable with internet payday loans. However, you can be assured that most internet payday loan sites are safe, legitimate and trustworthy. It is also safe to give personal information on the payday lending website because such information is encrypted.

When applying for a payday loan, do not put in false information when you are asked for personal information. Because your personal information is encrypted when it is sent across the internet, it is safe to give out such information. If you falsify information, your chances of getting a payday loan are reduced.

Tips to watch out for:-

•  Research several internet payday loan sites before choosing one. Write down the website address (also known as the URL) of the site that interests you the most, so that you can return to this site when you are ready to apply for a loan. Look for sites that provide you with information that makes sense to you.
  
•  Most payday loan sites will not ask you for money upfront. Beware of websites that ask you for money upfront.
  
•  Avoid payday loan sites that guarantee loan approvals. Nothing is guaranteed in life but it is fair to say that, generally, payday loans are pretty easy to get.
  
•  When you are ready to apply for a loan, make sure you have secure internet connection. If you use a public computer, when you have finished applying for the loan, close the browser and clear your cache. If you use wireless internet connection, make sure it is a secure connection (meaning that this is a password-protected connection).
  
•  Familiarize yourself with the settings and functions of your internet browser. You will be told by your browser if you are on a secure website because a security icon or some other symbol will show up if this is the case.
  
•  Ask questions of the payday loan companies you are interested in until you are satisfied with the answers you.

It is very important that you check which repayment term you have been approved for, and contact the payday loan lender for alternative arrangements.

Q. Will only the amount I owe on the loan be withdrawn from my account?
A: Payday loan lenders will only legally withdraw the maximum amount of your authorized account in the loan agreement.

1. Mortgage Payment

Sometimes, you become short of cash and can’t make ends meet when you need to. You have a job and your paycheck will arrive soon, but meanwhile, you don’t want your credit to suffer. How do you get out of this situation? You could take out a short term small loan to pay your home mortgage. This is one of the lesser known reasons for payday loans. Many people know that you can use a payday loan as extra money for a vacation but may not be so familiar about using it for mortgage payments.

2. Private School Tuition

As a student, you may not have family who can pay for your schooling or education. Private schooling is expensive. It is good if you can get your schooling paid off as soon as possible. Your school may not accept outside funding from the state. Learning all day is hard work. It is even harder to take on an additional job while you are at school. If you also have to work in a part time job, you may not have the time or energy to concentrate on your studies. Taking a student loan is an option but this is something you will be paying back for a long time. A payday loan is different because it loans a smaller sum, it is a short term cash loan with a one-time repayment.

As a parent, you know that private schooling is expensive because they try their hardest to provide the best possible education for your child. School fees range in the thousands of dollars each year. You can get up to $1500 each time for a payday loan, so this is helpful as additional payments for tuition. The amount you can get is smaller than a student loan. Then again, if your child takes out a student loan, you will be paying this back for a long time. In comparison, a payday loan is a short term, one-time repayment loan.

To qualify, you have to be 18 years old or above, have a job and be earning at least $750.

3. Entertainment

If you are able to budget well, payday loans can be used for other reasons, apart from emergencies. How can a payday loan be best used for this purpose?

•  Someone you know is having a last minute birthday party tonight. You want to go and and you need to get a birthday present for him/her now. You’re short on cash at the moment but your paycheck will be coming in next week.
•  You need to buy some new clothes for your special big night out.
•  Romantic dinner and night out at a hotel in the weekend. You hardly get any weekends off and this is the only one you will have for sometime to come.
•  There is a fantastic one-day sale today and you really want that TV or that brand-name handbag or that computer.
•  Last minute sports tickets to a big game that is in town.
•  Tickets to a concert. You have waited a long time to see your favourite band play and the tickets are on sale right now. If you wait until payday, those tickets will definitely be sold out and you will miss out.

4. Pay Your Phone Bill

Our phone is one of the most important equipment we own. We really depend on this nowadays. Sometimes the bill can be really high, especially if you go over your limited numbers of minutes, and that’s really easy to do. If you don’t pay even one phone bill, your payment could go really high and then, it will be even harder to pay your phone bill off later on. It would be so much better if you could pay your phone bill on time. You will be able to do this with a payday loan. This way, you won’t have to miss a payment and be penalised, your credit rating will be safe and you’ll be able to continue to keep in touch with your family and friends, send text messages and browse the internet.

5. Paying Off Your Overdraft Fees

You just realized you have made a mistake and wrote out 10 small checks, each for $10, without having enough money in the bank to cover these checks. Although the check amounts are small, the bank could charge over $300 in overdraft fees for lending you $100! Given this situation, it would be better if you took out a $100 payday loan to cover these checks. The $15-$20 you’d be paying for payday loan finance charges would certainly be less than the overdraft fees of more than $300 you would otherwise have to pay.

6. Paying Off Other Payday Advances

Please note that taking out a payday loan to pay off another payday loan is high risk. This should only be used as a last resort, when you have no other options. You should always pay off outstanding loans before taking out additional loans. This way, you build a good track record with your lender. Chances are, if you have a good track record, they will lend money to you again in the future. If you are unable to pay off your payday loan and instead, use another payday loan to pay off the first payday loan, this could result in serious financial consequences. So, be careful.

Introduction:

You have been waiting to go on vacation. It’s almost here. Then, this thought looms over you – what if the money you now have can’t last the entire trip? You don’t have much cash lying around, your credit cards are maxed out. How can you make your vacation run more smoothly?

You could take out a payday loan to make your vacation longer and run more smoothly. You are under no obligation to spend the entire amount of loan. Whatever money you don’t spend, you can just bring back and use towards paying your loan when it is due. Otherwise, you can bring this money back to pay other bills which have accumulated while you were away. It doesn’t matter how much you borrow for your vacation but a payday loan can help you have a more relaxing, stress-free vacation.

What Can You Use Your Payday Loan On?

Because payday loan is essentially a flexible small cash loan, it can be used to pay many different things. You can apply for a payday loan even before your vacation starts and use the money to pay for those costs that occur before your vacation starts, such as:-

• Plane tickets
• Down payment for the trip
• Cruise

You could use a payday loan to pay for costs which occur while you are actually on vacation

• Accommodation
• Dining Out
• Cost of admission, for example, to museums, theme parks, shows, exhibitions
• Car hire
• Souvenirs

You could even take out a payday loan just to cover unexpected emergencies that may occur while you are on vacation, for example, if your car breaks down while you are driving during vacation, if you become unwell or injured and have to go to hospital. If you don’t have an emergency and you didn’t spend the money, you can just bring it back to repay the loan when it is due.

If you want to apply for a payday loan only when an emergency happens during your vacation, you can do this too! If and when you need this money urgently, you can just apply for this online. Just make sure you have all your relevant details with you (for example, your bank account details, driver’s licence or state ID, your employer’s work phone number and so on). Make sure you have access to a cell phone number and/or email as your lender will need to be able to contact you before your loan is approved. Once this is approved, money will be transferred to your bank account. You can then access this money from another city, another state or even overseas.

Limitations Of Payday Loan For Vacation Expenses:

The great thing about a payday loan is there is no limitation on what or where you spend your loan or how you spend it.

How to compare a payday loan with a bank overdraft?

The Houston Chronicle (Dec 20 2008) reported that, according to M Fusaro of the Economics Department in East Carolina University who conducted a financial literacy survey, only a minority of adults knew that if you overdraw your checking bank account (otherwise called ‘bouncing a check’) for $100, this is more expensive than taking out a payday loan.

It is so confusing. The banks have all this financial jargon, the media makes it out that payday loans are bad, then there are articles that say that payday loans are better than banks… who can you believe?

Get the full fee schedule from your bank and your payday loan provider if you are considering getting either a payday loan, a bank overdraft or a credit card cash advance. Then, make yourself a spreadsheet with different columns for interest rate, closing costs, appraisal fees, inspection fees and so on. Itemise each cost. If you want to be able to compare different loans, the amount you want to borrow and how long it will take you to pay off this loan must stay the same.

This is the only way you are going to be able to compare your options. You must, as they say, “compare apples with apples”.

What is NSF, overdraft and how does this compare with payday loan fees?

NSF, which stands for non-sufficient fees, are fees which you have to pay for a bounced check. There is a range for these fees but it is usually around $27.

Sometimes, you can easily make the mistake of balancing your checkbook incorrectly and spend more money than you thought you had in the bank.

If you write a check to pay for, let’s say, a bill, the billing company will eventually bank your check. If you don’t have enough money in the bank, your check will “bounce”. At this point, you have to pay for NSF. You will also be late for bill payment and may have to pay late fines. If you have a checking as well as savings accounts, your bank will take money you owe on that bounced check from your savings account (– this is known as an overdraft –) in order to pay your bill. If you have a checking account only, your bank may pay your bill for you first but you will have a negative balance on your checking account.

How much will you be out of pocket in these situations? If you have savings and checking accounts, you will have to pay NSF and bank overdraft fees. If you have only a checking account, you will have to pay NSF, bank overdraft fees and interest on the amount the bank paid on your behalf.

In these scenarios, it may be better if you took out a payday loan instead of bouncing a check. You may ask how this could be – aren’t payday loan financial charges more expensive than NSF and overdraft fees? No, the charges on a payday loan may be smaller than your NSF and overdraft fees. In addition, the other advantages of a payday loan are:-

•  Having a bounced check, overdraft and non-sufficient fees can ruin your credit history. Borrowing a payday loan does not affect your credit history.
•  With cash at hand from a payday loan, you can now pay your bills on time. Timely bill payments ensure a good credit record.
•  With a payday loan, you don’t have to worry about the possibility of a bounced check, NSF, overdraft fees and/or bank overdraft interest rates.

Contrary to widespread belief, payday loans are highly regulated by state laws, as reported in the Iowa Independent on Jan 12 2009. There are rules which limit the number of loan transactions, transaction amount and fees. There are also federal laws that protect the consumer, including full disclosure of fees. In comparison, overdraft transactions by banks and credit unions do not have this government regulation.

In a press release dated January 6 2009, it was reported that payday loan can be a cheaper alternative to overdrawing a bank account. The FDIC reports that, at banks, the median overdraft fee for an average customer is $27 for a median transaction of $36. APR ranges from 1067% to 3520%. In comparison, payday loan lenders typically charge $15 for $100 that is borrowed. This translates to an APR of 391%. The numbers quoted in this report would suggest that a payday loan is a cheaper option.

The following should give an idea of exactly how much overdraft fees are collected by the banks. On January 9, 2009, Bretton Woods Inc, a management advisory firm that specialises in financial institutions and bank strategies, reported that the residents of Iowa pay more than $321 million per year in overdraft fees. This means, on average, each household has more than 12 overdraft transactions each year and pays $368 per year on overdraft fees. $321 million per year collected by the banks is the overdraft transaction fees of only one state of the US.

1. Apply on weekdays, that is, Monday through Friday.

If you apply during the weekdays, your application will be shown to many more lenders and this increases your chances of approval. There are only a small number of lenders who work on the weekends, so if you apply during the weekend, your application can only be shown to fewer lenders and your chances of approval are less.

2. Apply early in the day.

Mornings are better than afternoons. This is because lenders set out fixed amounts of cash to be lent out each day. Once all this cash has been lent out, the lenders will decline applications made later in the day. So, if you apply early in the day, your chances of getting a loan successfully are increased.

3. Your information.

The information you give out on your application form to your potential lenders has to be current and accurate. They have ways of checking your information. This is to protect you and the lending companies against credit fraud.

4. Amount to ask for.

Ask for $600 or less so that you can increase your chances of getting a loan. If you need more than $600, apply several times, each time asking for $600. If you insist on asking for a larger sum of money all at once, your application may be declined and you get no money at all.

5. Your phone number.

Put down a phone number that you will have access to in the next 24 hours. Many lenders will contact you, either by email or phone, to confirm that it is you (and not someone pretending to be you) that have applied. In addition, the lenders need your phone number to ensure proper transfer of your funds. If they can’t contact you, they may cancel your application and give it to the next applicant, as there are many people applying for these loans.

6. Your employer’s name and phone number.

You need to provide your employer’s name and phone number because some lenders need to confirm that you are truly employed before they give you a loan The Privacy Act prevents the lender from telling your employer that you are applying for a loan, so don’t worry if you don’t want your employer to know that you have applied to borrow money.

7. Your work phone number.

If you don’t have a direct phone number at work, please provide your company’s main telephone number. If you provide a cell phone number or a phone number that isn’t registered as a business, then, your application may be rejected.

8. Bank account.

One common reason people are rejected for payday loan is because they don’t have a bank account. If you don’t have a bank account, apply here for a guaranteed 100% approval account.

9. Checking bank account.

Some lenders require you to have a checking account at the bank. If you have a checking account, your application will be shown to many more lenders and your chances of being approved is much better.

10. Shopping around for a loan.

Some people apply for loans on many different websites, hoping to find the best deal. This actually decreases your chances of having your loan approved. Each time you apply for a payday loan, your personal details enter a database that is shared by the country’s lenders. These details stay in that database for 30 days.

11. Think carefully before declining a loan that is offered to you.

This is because, when you apply for a payday loan, your personal details enter a database. Even if you decline a loan that was offered to you, your personal details will remain in this database for the next 30 days. This practice is set out to prevent predatory lending. This means, once you reject this first lender’s loan, he will not be able to offer you another loan for the next 30 days. A second lender will probably not offer you a loan for the next 30 days either, because the second lender will think that you have already accepted a loan from the first lender (because your details are in the database).

12. Repay your loan on time.

Because there is a national database that is shared amongst lenders, your track record of being able to pay off your loan is known. If you show a good record, you are more likely to be offered another loan in the future.

1. Medical Expenses

You can never predict when you or your loved ones are going to be injured or sick. Being sick means doctor’s bills, medication bills, hospital bills and others that you have to pay. Health is very important to most people and, in this circumstance, money is usually a lesser important second. Even with a reasonable health insurance plan, hospitalisation can cost more than $1000. Some hospitals are generous and will work out a payment plan for you but some won’t. With or without a payment plan, you are going to need money for this emergency. With a payday loan, you now have flexibility in paying for this unexpected but necessary cost.

2. Car Repairs

Just as you thought it couldn’t happen, your car breaks down. Your mechanic tells you it will cost you over $800 to fix. You need this car to go to work or school so these repairs have to be done quickly. If you don’t, you may lose your job or miss school and fail the subject. You have already maxed out on your credit cards and you don’t have $800 cash lying around at home. It is this kind of emergencies that payday loans are meant for.

3. Small Home Repairs

Your roof has just started to leak but there’s no extra money lying around the place. If you don’t fix the roof, everything will be wet, and you will have to change your carpet, buy new furniture and other stuff that the rain destroys. There will also be structural damage to the place. This will be a much larger expense for you if you need to replace everything and fix the structural damage. This is not something you can ignore. If you take out a payday loan, the repairman could be here in the next few hours and everything you own and love will be saved.

4. Pay Your Regular Bills On Time

Got an unpaid bill staring at you & you have no money to pay it? Some of us live from paycheck to paycheck, with very little left over. How much we spend each month varies from month to month. If we have had to fork out more money one month, let’s say, for groceries, then we may have no money left over next month when our regular bills arrive. However, if we don’t pay these regular bills, our credit rating will suffer. So, it’s better to take out a payday loan to tie us over this month, rather than to suffer the consequences of late payment.

5. Pay Your Overdue Bills

You’ve just received an overdue bill. You thought you had already paid it but it must have been overlooked. And you don’t have enough money to pay this bill. If you don’t pay it on time, you may get a late fee. If it is an electricity bill, your electrical service may be cut and it will be a hassle to reconnect. In addition, your credit rating will surely suffer. If you had a payday loan, this would overcome all these potential problems. A late fee, a drop in credit rating and other problems would probably cost you more than the payday loan fee.

6. A Day Late On Rent

You won’t be receiving your next paycheck for another week. You could be charged late fees for every single day you are late, if your landlord have such policies in place, resulting in over $100 late fee charges. In order to avoid them, it would make sense to take out a payday loan. The interest on a payday loan will almost certainly be less than the late fees. In addition, by taking out a payday loan, you won’t have a history of late repayment.

7. Gas To Visit Family

Your family live further away than you’d like them to be. You don’t get the chance to visit them much. Soon, you will have a couple of days off and this happens pretty rarely. There is nothing nicer than being able to see them again. But, money is short at the moment. If you took out a payday loan, you will be able to see them. To get this chance to be able to do so is worth more than the interest that the payday loan charges.

Is this the same as a payday loan?

A car title loan uses your vehicle to secure the loan. A payday loan requires no collateral.

In order to get a car title loan, you have to give the lender your car title. At most, a car title loan will lend you a fraction of the resale value of your car. With a payday loan, you don’t need a collateral to secure this loan. If you pay back your car title loan in full and on time, you get your vehicle back. If you pay back your payday loan in full and on time, everybody’s happy.

A car title loan is secured by your vehicle as the collateral. So, if things go wrong and you are late or miss a payment on your title loan, your lender will sell your vehicle to pay off the loan. If you are late or miss a payment on your payday loan, the worse case scenario is that you have to owe more money. Personally, I would prefer to have to pay more money back than to lose the vehicle that I need to go to work or school.

As for a comparison of the financial charges of title loan vs payday loan, the rates both fairly high although title loan is slightly lower, because you are using your vehicle to secure the loan. The difference in rates is in the range of tens of dollars, so, only a small amount, considering that you could lose your car if you don’t make timely payments.

How does it differ from payday loans?

Both payday loans and income tax refund anticipation loans are short term cash loans designed to offer you, the customer, faster access to cash. Both loans allow you access to money immediately in cases of an emergency, medical bills, credit card payments, unexpected home or car repairs.

A payday loan is repayable at your next payday. You may have to write a post-dated check for the lender. This is dated sometime in the future when you are expected to receive your next paycheck. This may be used as security or collateral for this loan. Sometimes, nothing is required as a collateral for a payday loan.

Income tax refund anticipation loan is repaid to the lender when the borrower’s income tax refund is received. This may occur weeks or months in the future. It uses the taxpayer’s expected tax refund as security. This loan is usually paid through a professional tax preparation service. Additional fees, such as bank product service fee, interest charges and bank finance charges, are incurred. An income tax refund anticipation loan allows the consumer access to his tax refund while he waits for the IRS to process his income tax return.

If you are unable to fully repay your payday loan, depending on your lender, you may be able allowed to have an extended repayment plan, where you can pay off a smaller amount of your loan over a longer period. With an income tax refund anticipation loan, there is no such extended repayment plan. Once your income tax refund comes through, your lender will immediately bank this amount as a once-off repayment.

You may have heard that payday loans are the bad guys because they charge high fees. In an immediate financial crisis when cash is really needed, it has been shown that many borrowers are willing to take a loan no matter what terms are.

No matter how bad they are portrayed on the news, payday loans serve an important purpose in our community. This purpose is not covered by regular bank loans. You may have gotten behind on routine monthly payments and only need a small loan to get back on track. A regular bank deals in large loans, so a regular bank would not be interested in loaning you this small amount of money. This is because your repayment to the bank will not cover the bank’s cost of processing your loan. Even if a regular bank is interested in your business, it will take weeks for a bank loan to be approved.

So, who can you turn to, when you find you have already used up your paycheck, your next paycheck hasn’t arrived and you are unable to pay your expenses? What do you do when you want to pay your expenses so that your credit rating will not suffer? You could get a payday loan, to get cash, ranging from $100 to $1500 to tie you over until your next paycheck.

An important advantage to you is that a payday loan lender does not need to look at your credit history. They assume you have good credit history when they lend money to you. It is then up to you to prove that you truly do have good credit history by being able to pay back your loan on time. Payday loan lenders may ask you to write them a post-dated check that is dated for your next payday. On that due date, the amount you have borrowed plus its financial charges will be deducted from your checking account. Sometimes, you may not even be required to present a collateral.

It is important to use payday loans wisely and I hope this article has been helpful to you.

What can I do if I can’t pay back my payday loan on time?

The commonest problem people have when taking out a payday loan is they are unable to get the loan paid back on time.

When you take out a payday loan, you have a short time to pay back the lender, usually two weeks or less. For most of us, this money will come from our next paycheck. However, what should we do if we need most of this money from that paycheck for other things? This is when we have trouble paying back to the loan on time.

What happens then? In this difficult situation, your options are to take out another payday loan to cover this first payday loan or have to pay late fees and your bank may charge you non-sufficient fees (NSF) as well if you covered your first loan with a post-dated check that bounced.

How can I prevent this stressful situation?

While it may be a difficult situation if you can’t pay back your loan by the due date, you must contact your lender immediately, to see if you can work out an alternative payment plan. Speak to the customer service representative and tell them your situation. Remember, you were given a contact phone number or an email address when you were first offered a loan.

If it will take you weeks or longer to repay the loan, work out another payment plan with your lender – perhaps, you could pay off your loan in instalments. If it will take you several days after the due date to be able to repay the loan, you can ask your lender if you can just get an extension on your due date. Whichever situation you are in, it Is likely that your lender will charge you more interest or an extra fee because they had to accommodate you. However, this is likely to be less than the late fees your lender and your bank will charge you for not paying back the loan on time if you do not talk to your lender at all.

Try to work something out with your lender if you can’t repay your loan on time. It shows good will and may save you a bit of money. So, go and look for that contact phone number or email address that you were given when you were first offered a loan from your lender and take it from them.

It is important to remember that the original reason you needed a payday loan is because you didn’t have the money for short term. It is a debt that you owe, a debt you need to pay back, even if it may take you some time to do so.

Can they take legal action against you? The legal action that will be taken will depend on which state you live in. And if you have moved to a different state, how the original state you were in cooperates with the new state you are living in now. Whatever it is, you can expect a collection agency will track you down to get their money back. If you don’t cooperate, they will try harder. The ability for them to legally force you to pay depends on the laws of the states.

If you have difficulty paying off your loan, call your lender and let them know. Perhaps, they can work out a payment plan with you. If you contact them, it shows goodwill on your part. And sometime in the future, if you should need to take out another payday loan, your track record will be more reasonable than if you have a known history of defaulting on payday loans.

Does it deserve it?

A very popular way of borrowing money is payday loans, because it is very easy to borrow a small amount of money this way. However, the payday loan industry has been getting a bad rap in the media.

Why is this?

•  There were a handful of lenders who behaved badly and gave the entire industry a bad name. They took advantage of their borrowers and were not upfront about their terms.
•  Some borrowers jumped into payday loans without fully understanding what they were getting themselves into. All the information that a potential borrower needs to know, including terms and rates of the loan, is contained in an agreement between lenders and borrowers. The borrower is supposed to read this document before borrowing. However, many times, the borrower doesn’t actually read it, leading to future problems! Sometimes, the borrower tries to read it but can’t understand it, because it’s all in legal jargon. To avoid this, read your loan agreement thoroughly before you sign. If there is anything you don’t understand, if you have any questions, ask your lender. I’m sure they will be most happy to answer your questions to your satisfaction, in order to win your business.
•  High interest rates. An average borrower will pay about $15 for every $100 that he or she borrows. The APR for this scenario is 400%, which is a large number. However, if they are used with discretion, then, payday loans can be a good solution to short term cash flow challenges. (If you are charged a $20 financial charge on $100, your APR is 521%) - What is APR?
•  Misuse of loans. Borrowers who depend on loans on a long term basis and those who repeatedly extend their payday loans for more time will eventually accrue huge financial charges which they will be unable to pay. This is the same disaster that occurs to people who use their credit cards and then can’t pay them off. With payday loans, instead of rolling the loan over when it is due, do everything you can to pay it off. If you don’t do this, it will cost you a huge amount in financial charges.

Payday loans should be used for short term financial needs only and not as a long term financial solution. If you have credit difficulties, you should seek credit counselling.

You are low on cash this month and, as luck would have it, something else is wrong as well. It could be that your car has just broken down as well, or perhaps, you have some minor home repairs that you need to fix right away, or perhaps, your loved one has just been injured and needs to go to hospital. You need some urgent money, so you are seriously thinking about a payday loan. You’re looking around on the internet and many of them ask you if you have a bank account.

Why do you need a bank account if you want a payday loan?

• For you to receive money
• Many payday loan lenders want to transfer funds directly into your bank account. Many lenders do not have a lot of physical cash at hand because most of this is in their bank accounts.
• Having a bank account means that you are more likely to have a job, more likely to have a stable address, that you are more likely to be financially stable. The payday loan lender is more likely to lend to someone they trust because they would like this money returned to them later on.
• Having a bank account is good for you because it means the money that is lent to you remains in a safe place right from the beginning.
• Once money has been transferred to you, it is important for you to check that your payday loan lender has placed the right funds into your account. Let them know if something is wrong.
• For you to pay your payday loan lender back
• When you give them your bank account number so that they can deposit funds into your account, they will hang on to this number until repayment day. On that day, they will just withdraw the money you owe them from this same bank account number. Therefore, by having your bank account number, the lenders are assured that you will pay back on the assigned date.
• Can you get a loan with no bank account?
• There are some lenders who are willing to lend you money even if you don’t have a bank account. If you don’t have a bank account, apply here for a guaranteed 100% approval account.

Why are you being asked for your bank’s Routing and Account numbers?

All lenders require this information so that your money can be transferred to your bank account. Your Routing number is the name and address of your bank, in “bank-speak”. Your Account number identifies your account in that bank. Every bank account has a Routing and Account number. Please contact your bank to ask them if you do not know your Routing or Account number.
