Good For A Loan! Loan Information






Payday Loans also known as The Legal Loan Sharking Industry




Sometimes the budget runs a little short and a payday loan is the answer!
There was a time when people desperate for short-term cash could only turn to "Loan Sharks." Who would loan them money at excessive interest rates and, if you didn't pay back the loan, violence was threatened...

Laws were passed to protect people against these "Loan Sharks" and their questionable practices. Today, these short-term loans are being provided legally by the Payday Loan industry.

Payday loans are pretty much what they sound like:  People borrow money to tide them over until their next payday. When they get their pay check, they then pay back the loan, These loans also go by such names as cash advance loans and paycheck loans.

Typically there are three components of a Payday Loan: Short duration - 2 to 4 weeks; relatively small amount of money is borrowed up to $1500; and a very high APR or Annual Percentage Rate is charged. These are the usual parameters, but they are not set in stone.

High APR - The startling aspect of payday loans is how high the interest rate charge is iIn erms of Annual Percentage Rate. At first glance, you may think paying $240.00 for a loan of $200.00 for two weeks is a small price. Yet, the APR for this loan translates to a whopping 520%. That is the amount of interest being charged if this loan was carried for a year's time. Compare this number with a high interest credit card rate of 29% or even 34%. Cash advance loans do not come at a bargain price. Still the high interest charge is balanced By the short duration and the need for what may be an "emergency loan."

    On the subject of the high APR, a representative from a payday loan company had these comments:

    Asked how are such enormous interest charges possible, he said, "Because we can. There are loopholes in the law out there that allow us to do this. This is a high risk loan in most cases, so we need to charge enough to cover bad loans and to make a profit."

    Credit Cards
    Asked about if payday loans are ever a good idea, his response was "Sure. For example, if you're going to be late on a credit card payment of $70.00 and will be charged a late fee of $30.00, then the APR of the payday loan justifies getting one. You will save money - the difference between what you get charged for a payday loan versus the penalty of the late fee."

When should you get a payday loan:

There are times when payday loans are reasonable to get. As stated above, if you need to make a credit card payment and are a little short and the late fees are more expensive than the cost of the short-term loan, then... In this case, you also keep your credit record unblemished. Making a late payment can adversely affect your credit rating and this, in turn, can cause your interest rates to go up on all your credit cards. A lowered credit rating can also negatively impact the interest rates you might be offered for future mortgage and car loans.

The majority of reasons why people get payday loans fall under the personal catagory. That is when the cost of the loan is worth it to you in terms of emotional and/or logistical reasons. You may have missed a couple of days work and will be coming up short on cash for this month's budget. Knowing that you can get a few dollars in advance is great relief. Or maybe you are headed for a long awaited vacation and could use a few extra bucks to enjoy this time off. If you can afford the fees then a cash advance loan maybe what you need.

What to look for when getting a payday loan:

The first thing to do is to check the APR rate of the loan being offered. Federal law mandates that every lender must disclose the cost of borrowing any money through a Truth in Lending Disclosure Act. Loan companies must break down the cost in terms of the APR (Annual Percentage Rate). This makes it easier for you to compare loans from different lenders and get the best deal.

Another thing to look for is the length of the term. If two lenders charge the same rate for every hundred dollars borrowed, but company X has a term of up to four weeks and company Y has a term of only two weeks, then go to Company X and take advantage of the extra two weeks of leeway time to pay off the loan. For example, if both companies charge $240 for a $200 advance, then paying it back four weeks later maybe a lot easier, then paying it back only 2 weeks later. In terms of APR, Company X's interest charge is half of Company Y's because of the longer term length. If you are panning to pay off the cash advance in two weeks, this may not really matter. Still you may find difference in the fixed charge between companies offering different length terms. One company may charge you $230 for a $200 loan to be paid off in 2 weeks, while another company may charge you $240 for a $200 loan paid off in four weeks!

Shop and compare. Do your homework before getting that payday loan. There are many online cash advance loan companies to choose from. A little research can save substantial money. Look for lower cost payday loans and No Fax Payday Loans. Faxless payday loans allow you to apply without needing to submit documentation via fax.

My current research has lead me to the following online payday companies:  Cash Central - Payday Loans up to $700. No Gimmicks. Secure. Fast. and  Loan-Till-Payday.com: Instant Cash Loans .
