Getting a payday loan can be a very dangerous thing. These companies prey on poor people who are notorious for being late and irresponsible with their money. I would bet you that majority of the people who borrow from these lenders end up in worse debt than were before they went it. I don’t know who is more to blame, themselves for being irresponsible or the loan companies for being so stupid as to lend money to someone who most likely can’t afford it.
My brother is a victim of these payday loan people. He went in to the store a few months ago to get a cash advance and he got it, no problem. The guy barely makes enough money to survive, he has no car, no credit cards, and really bad credit, and these people gave him a loaner. If he is in your store asking for an advance on his miniscule paycheck, how the heck do you think he is going to be able to pay that back to you in full when his next miniscule check comes in? Sure enough, when his first payment is done, he comes running to me for help (you see why I get so upset).
Now I am involved! He shows me this bill and I almost lost my mind!!! The poor guy is paying like 500% interest on this loan! Now obviously he has to pay this back, but it just makes me nauseous to think that this is acceptable. How can we let this happen? I have a feeling that most people who borrow money from payday loan companies have absolutely no intention of paying them back. I think I know this because my lame brother does it all the time, this will be the third time I pay it for him, and I’m pretty sure it will be the last time.
After this one I don’t even care if he gets himself in over his head, not my problem. In the mean time I thought I would come here and just let others know to be weary of these companies. I am sure that if you are a responsible person with a sensible income that you might be able to afford this, but if you are falling behind on everything and are resorting to cash advances, you may want to ask yourself if that is the best option for you. I keep telling my brother that if needs money he come to me to borrow, because after paying all that interest I could afford to give him more money than the loan he is borrowing.
I have kindly informed my brother to not come to me anymore to pay off his bills. I obviously can’t help a man who isn’t willing to help himself. I would just like to let others know not to get themselves into this kind of debt; it can be very damaging to your life. If you think you can handle it and it is a onetime thing than it might not be so bad, but remember to pay your bills on time. That’s all I can say.
