Should You Use A Paycheck Advance Service?
Unemployment is high and money is tight for everyone. With increasing regularity, people are finding it more and more difficult to stretch their paychecks to last an entire week. Whether emergencies pop up or you’re behind on your car payments, you may need to think about a paycheck advance to make it through.
Unlike years ago when this service was mainly used by poor workers on the wrong side of the tracks, these loan companies now market themselves to professional workers of all genres. Before, these little offices were frequently found in dangerous sections of town, managed by employees who were almost scary looking. Now, these same companies have offices in some high end commercial office buildings in every city.
Requirements differ from company to company, but the general rules are that you need to be actively employed with a net monthly income of $1,000 a month and you must have a checking account (usually with payroll direct deposit). You can borrow between $100-$1,000 depending on your paycheck, and you need to be able to pay back the entire loan from your next paycheck. Obviously the less you make, the less you can borrow.
Interest rates are about what you’d expect to pay for any unsecured personal loan. You probably won’t find anything less than the 15%-25% for the time you borrow the money (which could be a few weeks), but if your only choice is taking out a loan or having your car repossessed, it’s not much of a choice.
Many companies have websites where you can apply discretely and handle the entire process almost anonymously. They usually require that you send in some type of paperwork like check stubs but after your application is approved they usually deposit the money into your checking account fairly quickly.
Keep in mind that even though they won’t pull a regular credit report, they will check with another type of credit service that only deals with open pay day loans. They monitor what loans have been paid, which ones are open, and which ones have been defaulted on. If you have no open loans, and if you have never defaulted on a past loan, you’re good to go.
If doing business online is not your thing, call a local office and ask what you need to do to apply. Make sure you have everything when you show up. You may get a check right away or you may need to wait for it to get wired to your checking account.
This has turned into a competitive business so do research to make sure you’re getting a good deal.
