Payday Loans still offer easy loan approval

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Everybody needs money to survive. Some people have all the money they need and then some, but others need a little extra cash just to get by day to day. With the sub-prime morgage crisis, banks are tightening all their loan requirements. The size of loans is not regulated by the government, that decision is made by the lenders after evaluating whether the borrower is able to repay interest and principal repayments. In the past a bank would grant a loan based on 30 percent of the applicants gross income. Now checks and balances are done to determine loan amount. The consumer has to disclose all of their credit obligations and give the bank permission to check account statements and credit bureau records. If you have existing large credit agreements, such as car loans, and credit cards, or even insurance policies, utility bills, or student loans you won’t qualify for much, even if you have a high income. Loans are not easy to come by now a days.

Payday loans however are different; these loans are secured loans, so there aren’t harsh restrictions in place that will prevent you from getting the cash you need, when you need it. You can get a payday loan cash advance in just 24 hours, and no credit check!

All that most payday loan lenders will require of you is this:

•    A Drivers License or state issued photo ID
•    Your Bank Statement and
•    Proof of Income

Payday loans are a great option if you have bad credit or just need cash fast. Contact your local payday loan lender to learn more.

Payday loan myths

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Every person on the globe possesses the requirement for money and what it represents. It is unfortunate that many people need help financially, especially when unexpected emergencies occur. When the funds we need aren’t available to us in our time of need, we turn to the alternative: borrowing. Luckily, many are fortunate enough to have relatives or close friends that may be willing to lend cash you cash when you need it. However, because most people have tight budgets in which most of their money is spoken for, a sudden change in that budget may cause your friend or family member that is lending you money to be put in a financial bind too. To prevent imposing on your friends and family, another alternative for borrowing money is going to a financial institution and applying for a loan.

A paycheck advance is one kind of loan that many people use as a personal loan. A payday advance is a small short-term loan that is designed to cover the borrowers expenses until his or her next paycheck. This type of loan is and economical choice that can be beneficial for those in need of money right now.

Over the course of history of payday loans, critics have spread many negative myths about paycheck loans. Here are a few:

Payday lenders take advantage of low income families and minorities

FALSE: All payday loan borrowers possess a steady income and have active bank accounts. These are requirements for payday advance approval. The majority of payday loan customers’ incomes range from $25,000 to $50,000 annually. This is the American middle class. 94% of payday borrowers have high school diploma or better with 56% having some college or a degree.

Payday loans are extremely expensive and have ballooned interest rates

FALSE: Paycheck loans are two-week loans, they are not annual. It is typical for lenders to charge $15 for every $100 borrowed, this is equal to 15% over the two-week loan period. To say that interest rates are 400% APR (annual percent yield) is irrelevant. In order to reach a triple digit interest rate is if the loan was kept for an entire year. This would require the loan being renewed more than 26 times. Most states don’t even allow any rollovers. In states that do permit rollovers the Community Financial Services Association (CFSA) limits renewals to 4 or less if the state limit is lower.

When you need cash right now payday loans are great option to consider if your needs are short term.

Pixel Payday

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

We got our slingbox working last night, unfortunately, the image quality is really poor. It’s really unacceptable. The upload speeds at my parents house are less than 500kbps, when 1500kbps is what we want. They are supposed to have speeds up to 1000kbps, but they are not even close, so even if they upgraded their interenet, it still wouldn’t guartee a better picture.

My roommate wants to go with AT&T Uverse, but it’s going to be +$70/month for what we want. That just seem like soo much money. I don’t know what to do.

At least today is payday, yay! Even if today isn’t your payday, you can get paid today too.

Happy? Columbus Day

…Or Canadian Thanksgiving if you prefer.

Today I am thankful that our Slingcatcher was delivered this morning before work. We now have all the components of our new television solution. We’re just having some trouble setting up my parent’s network to allow for remote viewing. I can’t wait to see it in action.

If any of you are interested in a Slingbox, use the link below to save some cash.

Special ‘friends only’ offer: Save up to $30 on Slingbox

In other news, my roommate got his credit card this weekend. The interest rate is over 20%, yikes! Not something you’d want to carry a balance on, good thing he wasn’t planning on it.

No matter how much the world changes, some things will always stay constant. There will always be a need for cash when unexpected expenses come along, which always seem to come along at just the wrong time. Today you can be thankful for the evolution of payday advance loans over the last decade, providing a quick solution that is a hassle-free personal loan.

Your finances are your business, and with paycheck loans available online now, there’s no need to trouble your friends and family. Paycheck advances are a simple solution to an age-old problem. Once you decide an online payday loan is right for you, you’ll have to choose the right lender. Different websites will offer different interest rates, which are posted to help you make your decision. Terms and conditions should be considered as well in addition to lending rates. Look for a secure website that will protect your personal information. A good lender should be up front about their policies, and willing to answer any questions you may have.

While there is some disagreement over the “high” interest rates on payday loans, however these rates similar to what traditional banks usually charge for a small dollar transaction. For example, ATM fees are normally $1.50 per $100 transaction and insufficient funds fees for a $100 bounced check can be over 8% APR. Just about any lender is going to charge high interest rates on short-term transactions. Arthur B. Kennickell, a Federal Reserve Bank economist, says, “these finance companies are picking up the slack left from the savings and loans, says it is part of the continuing restructuring of the industry.”

When  you are shopping for a loan, keep in mind that loan repayment should be as easy as obtaining the loan. Get all the necessary information up front, before you receive a loan. Generally, the loan amount and interest is automatically withdrawn from your bank by the lender on your next payday. Qualifying is easy, any employed person can be approved for this type of loan. Additionally, no credit checks are performed and most applicants can be approved instantly. What are you waiting for?

What To Expect When Applying for a Payday Loan

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

There are times in life that cash is needed for emergencies or other things that just can’t wait. Obtaining a payday loan is one common solution for getting the money you need now.  Payday loans are a type of personal loans, and are also known as paycheck loans or cash advances. A personal loan is a loan that offers credit to the consumer and is intended for personal use. This type of loan is most often unsecured and is based on the integrity of the borrower and their ability to pay. Payday loans are defined specifically as a paycheck advance or payday advance; they are small, short-term loans that are intended to cover the borrower’s expenses until their next payday.

One of the biggest advantages of payday loans is that bad credit will not prevent loan application approval. The application process for a payday loan is as follows:

Filling Out A Payday Loan Application

The application for a payday loan includes personal identification information and information for references. A valid government issued ID, bank statement, and pay stub are required to complete the process. The lender then cross checks all your information to verify each item has the same address. References are used to verify your address and home phone number.

The lender will also call your place of employment to verify that you are indeed employed there. The information of a spouse or co-applicant (if you have one) will also be verified.

Application strength is determined based on length of current residency and employment. If the address on your ID matches your current address and you have lived at this loc

ation for a good while, this is considered by lenders to be a strong qualifying factor. Also, if you have been working for the same employer for an extensive amount of time, this makes for a stronger application. A home phone number and multiple references will also strengthen your application.

It is important to keep the above information in mind when applying for a paycheck loan. Having this knowledge and being prepared with all of your information will make the application process quicker and easier. The information provided above is a simple list of the things that are generally considered when an application is evaluated by a payday lender.

Saving munays

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Saving money can be tough in today’s world of constant spending. It is very easy to spend small amounts of money every day and have no idea where it all went just a week later. So here are some pointers on ways to keep track of you spending:

For many of us, shopping has become a daily activity. Everybody has certain purchases that are necessary. Trying to do all your shopping in one trip is a good way to not only cut back on spending, but can also reduce your fuel usage. Studies show that most people buy things they need when they shop in bulk and tend to not spend much money on frivolous items. The larger the bill we have to pay is, the more we focus on what we really need. When shopping is spread out we only see the small amount on the receipt and it is easier to think we can get away with buying extra things. It’s these smaller shopping trips that add up to become more costly then the one large trip for necessary items.

It also helps to prepare a list before you go shopping. Things like this are all a part of financial planning. Plan ahead before you shopping, try to stick to only buying items on your list. Careful spending is the best kind of spending.

Another trick I’ve come up with is to try to cancel a service you really have no interest in canceling. When I called to cancel my TiVo service I was offered a reduced rate. When I still wanted to cancel, I was offered a few months free service. I was also offered a reduced rate when I called to cancel a free trial of All State Roadside Assistance.

Should a financial emergency arise, you might not be able to pull from your savings. If this is the case, consider a payday loan as an alternative way to get some cash. These loans are like a cash advance or paycheck advance. The borrower takes out a loan and pays back the money on their next payday. Payday loans offer a quick turn around time for receiving cash and an easy application process, perfect for when you need fast cash but don’t have liquid savings.

Lost Interest

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

So after doing some research, I’m really having second thoughts on the credit card idea. My roommate is okay with getting a card of his own and putting me as an authorized user (which makes me legally not responsible for any charges). However, his nonexistent credit means he won’t be able to get great rates. This isn’t a real big deal since the plan is to pay the balance every month, but reading the fine print for a few cards I got scared about “hidden” fees. Even if we got a card with no annual fee it sounds like there will still be fees for using the card. Phrases such as “grace period” “daily balance” and “minimum finance charge” got me thinking, one way or another, we will probably have to pay for the convenience of getting all of our shared expenses on one credit card bill. I’m not sure I’d even want to see that number anyway. After all, one of the tips I’ve mentioned in an earlier post is, paying off your debt using multiple smaller payments can be easier because it feels like less of an expense, even though it adds up to be more. Which is not to mention, depending on how your interest is applied, you might even save some money on interest.

At this point I’ve lost interest in the credit card idea… haha, no pun intended. If my roommate wants to look into it he can do it himself. If we are ever in a situation where we need money we don’t have, a payday loan seems like a much simpler option; we could even apply online through a secure website like USAPaydayLenders.com and have money the next day.

Payday loans for everybody

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

With the growing popularity of online banking, many types of online lending have moved to the forefront of today’s lending industry. These online instant loans require very little paperwork. You can qualify whether you are paid hourly or are on salary; whatever kind of work you may do, or what your credit score might be. Normally, the following documents are all you need to get a loan:

• A drivers license or government issued ID
• A current checking account bank statement
• Proof of income

Statistics show the average customer for payday loans is just like you and me. Georgetown’s Credit Research Center recently analyzed payday loan customers and discovered that 94% of payday loan customers have earned at least a high school diploma. Most customers are married and have children. Every payday loan customer has a steady job and a checking account. These loans work for normal people, not just who you might think the stereotypical customer is.

Online payday loans are an easy way to get from one paycheck to the next; a great short-term solution when unexpected expenses come your way. Within a maximum for 24 hours payments are deposited to your account, sometimes payments are available even sooner. When loan reaches the end of its term the withdrawal is taken from the same account.

These simple and flexible loans really benefit the consumer. If the lender can not be repaid due to insufficient funds, you can work with the lender to resolve the issue. The customer is responsible for holding up their end of the deal. However, if terms of the loan are stuck to, the convenience of these loans makes them a smart choice.
