Angela told Paul that she did not have the credit to get a loan. Paul informed her that credit was not an issue with an instant payday loan. An instant payday loan is a low rate short term loan. This means that the amount borrowed can be anywhere from $100 to $1000. It is short term because it is usually only held until the borrower’s next payday.

The Straight Talk on Payday Loans

If you have extremely bad credit and find yourself in a financial bind, one of the few kinds of financing you can turn to is payday loans. In recent years, it’s become easier and easier to obtain payday loans, and more cash advance stores have popped up in the US than there are McDonald’s and Starbucks combined. The money comes with no restrictions on it and can be obtained within minutes of filling out the application.

However, payday loans have a darker side. They should only be used as an emergency funding source when they are really needed, and should not replace fiscal responsibility or other means as a regular source of funds. If they do, you can end up in a trap and pay several hundred percent interest each year on small loans.

Considering A PayDay Loan? READ THIS FIRST!

Payday loans can be a lifesaver if it’s truly used for an emergency – only you can decide what’s truly an emergency. Most times something comes up; we freak out and instead of thinking things through and finding other alternatives we quickly react and put ourselves in a worst position than we initially started out; hence the existence of payday loans and car title loans and every other high interest loans available to those with less than stellar credit.

To borrow a payday loan is simple; you typically pay $20 per $100 borrowed or more. The appeal is all you need is a job, proof of employment and a check with a future date stamped on it – easy, right? No hassle, and most importantly no credit check. I’d rather you avoid them completely but if you must please choose one that is with the Community Financial Services Association; an association that provides guidelines that protect the consumer.

The most negative thing about a payday loan are the interest rates/fees! It comes to about 400% interest on a loan! That’s absurd. But if you need your car fixed; furnace repaired, water heater replaced – it suddenly doesn’t seem that bad. The key thing to remember is not to borrow more than you need. The payday loan clerk is a salesman; just because he/she states you can borrow up to $1000 does not mean you should accept it. Borrow only what you need!!! And if they offer you the monthly payment plan don’t fall for it; remember their job is to sell so that THEY can make more money. Pay if off all at once and avoid the pitfall of the monthly payments that make them more money and cause a financial strain on your budget.
