Payday Loan – Whats It All About?
by Stephanie Moore
A Payday Loan, a.k.a., an ‘instant cash loan’ or ‘cash advance’, is supposed to be a short-term loan meant to help out a borrower financially until their next payday. A quick cash loan is usually offered in sums of money of between $100 and $500 and are supposed to be repaid within two weeks, along with an interest fee. On average, the loan fee is around $20 for each $100 that you were given. In a normal scenario, when one receives a payday advance loan, they will write a post-dated check for the entire amount of the loan. This will also include the interest fees. The payday loan company agrees to not deposit the check until the date it is due to be paid back.
It’s crucial to understand that when acquiring a payday loan that you will be able to pay off the loan in full by the date is due. If you are unable to do this at the on time, it can lead into a scenario where the total amount of money that has to be repaid may extend way beyond your original budgetary problems. A common scenario is when the anticipated repayment date comes, the borrower will have the alternative to pay off the debt by paying the full amount, or go into a payday loan process called ‘flipping or rolling over the loan’ by being given money by the quick payday company to pay off the original loan and then immediately being given – on paper – another loan which in effect extends the original loan plus additional costs for another two weeks. Many states, by law, do not allow the ‘rolling over’ the loan. In those states the borrower can decide to choose a payment plan instead.
While we can agree that some payday loan companies re-payment charges can become quite expensive, for those who need an emergency loan till payday and are capable of paying back the loan on time, it can be a undeniable lifesaver.
When applying for a payday loan In-person, one needs to bring in the required paperwork. So call before hand to see what they need in order to save yourself a double trip. On the internet, online payday loans are marketed through e-mail, online searches, paid advertising and referrals. A likely customer will fill out an application form online and/or faxes a form that asks for your personal data, such as a banking number, Social Security and verifiable employment information, such as recent copies of your pay check.
When the loan is approved, generally within 24 hours, it is direct-deposited into the customers checking account and the customer agrees that the loan re-payment will be electronically withdrawn on the next payday.
One should never be ashamed if you find yourself in a jam and are in need of some quick cash, but especially when using payday loan companies, please borrow responsibly.
