Guaranteed Payday Loans - The Facts

By Trinity Thomas

Guaranteed payday loans are temporary loans that are designed to get you to your next pay check. Getting a loan of this type is very easy and fast, in fact you can usually secure funds within one business day. You can often secure funds on the spot, as long as you are trying to get the loan in the store, as opposed to online.

If you decide that this is the way you want to go about securing some extra funds, make sure that you live in a state where it's legal. There are multiple states in the U.S. that don't allow this type of lending.

Finance charges on loans of this type can range anywhere from 15 to 30 percent of the amount borrowed in most situations. Since the finance charges can be quite large, youll want to only borrow what is truly needed. Youll also want to be sure you will have no problem paying the money back in full by the collection date.

Borrowers that are unable to pay the money back when it is owed, in most cases two weeks from the lending date, the interest will continue grow exponentially. The best plan is to be wise in the amount you borrow.

Some lenders will ask for a post dated check that they can cash if you don't show up to repay the loan. They don't cash it unless you don't come in and if they have to, they will charge a penalty.

In order to avoid a ton of extra fees, make sure that you can pay back the loan on time. People often end up paying late fees, and sometimes bounced check fees from their banks because they don't have the funds to cover the post dated check.

This type of loan is extremely quick and easy to get, but isn't usually recommended. If you take out a payday loan, use it with extreme caution. - 16463
