Guide on Payday Loan

July 3rd, 2008 by debt-advisor


A payday loan is a short-term loan that you agree to repay at your next payday . A payday loan is sometimes called advance on salary.

You must usually pay off your payday loan at the day when you receive your next pay check or before that (usually within two weeks or less). The amount you can borrow is generally limited to 50% of the net amount of your pay check, i.e. the final amount you have left after various deductions taken from your salary, as taxes on income. For example, if your net salary is of $1000 every two weeks, your payday loan could not exceed $500 ($1000 x 50%).

A payday loan is a very expensive way to borrow money with higher rate than usual. Payday loans are offered by private companies and by most agencies.

Before you are granted with a payday loan, lenders require you to provide documents that you have continuous income, fixed home address and bank account. A few payday lenders also necessitate that you are more than 18 years old. You could also apply for a no credit payday loan.

To ensure that you will repay the loan that you have, all payday lenders require you to return authorization to make a withdrawal from bank account, equivalent to the amount of the loan, which add the various applicable fees and interest costs. The multiple charges and possible interest charges in addition to the amount of the loan explain why payday loans are expensive.

The lender should also require you to sign a loan contract. If the lender does not give you a copy of the loan contract, ask it.
