I was talking to a friend the other day and we got onto the discussion about stupid things we’d done in the past, everyone does dumb things, don’t feel bad. Well anyway, we started talking about some of the financial mistakes we’d made in the past and he told me about his biggest one, being a payday loan. I didn’t even know what he was talking about, so it explained what they were to me. A payday loan is basically a pay advance, using a small, short term loan to hold the borrower over until his or her next paycheck.
Evidently in the past my friend had fallen into some hard times and was looking for a quick way to get his hands on some money when he started looking on the Internet for options. He stumbled upon something called a faxless one hour payday loan and followed the link to the webpage. He found out that the site was used to loan people money without a credit check, up to fifteen hundred dollars. Well, instead of doing a bit of research before applying, he went ahead and filled out the application for three hundred dollars and was given the money in less than a day. Upon receipt of the money, he was notified that he would owe the company back fifteen hundred upon his next payday, which he wouldn’t be able to handle. I didn’t get the rest of the story from him, but I got the basic knowledge that a payday loan is definitely not something to get caught up in.
