• A few companies offer no interest loans to first-time borrowers. Find them. Be aware of
length of
loan and any other terms to help you choose
best payday loan lender. Be sure you know
total amount you’ll have to repay before you take
cash.
• Always read
fine print.
• Pay
loan when it is due, on your next payday. The payday loan period may be extended, but you’ll have to pay additional (and large) interest and finance fees. Also, if you do not repay
loan with your next paycheck,
lender may even automatically renew
loan by withdrawing
fees from your checking account. This could cause you to be overdrawn and incur penalties from both
lender and your bank.
Meet Frank: A Real-World Payday Loan Story
Frank’s car broke down and he needed $300 fast. Panicking, he went online and chose
first web payday lender he found. He filled out
simple form and had his money in his checking account
next day to be repaid in a week. The fee was $30.
When payday came, Frank couldn’t afford to pay back
$330 so he asked for an extension, which he got for another $30. So
next payday Frank had to pay $360 to cover his $300 payday loan.
If Frank continued doing this for a year, he would end up paying $1560 in fees. Most likely,
lender wouldn’t let
loan ride for that long. But this shows how expensive
payday loan fees really are, when you compare them with
interest on bank loans or even credit cards.
What should Frank had done?
• Frank should have looked at more than one web payday lender, checking for
best terms and lowest interest rate.
• After choosing a lender, he should have checked it out with
Better Business Bureau to be sure it is reputable.
• He should have had a plan for repaying
web loan before he got
money so that he could have paid
loan on payday and not needed an extension.
So, how can you do better than Frank?
