Unlike Home loans or several other loans pay day loans, also termed as personal cash advance or paycheck advance is a short term loan which is required for urgent expenses and generally exists for a short duration of around 2-3 weeks with an annual percentage rate (APR) ranging from 390% to 900%.
Such type of loan is often the only option for the people having bad credit debt or debt problems and urgently need quick cash but not capable of getting bank loan, credit card or any type of loan with low interest rate or loan with easy repayment terms.
The Borrower seeking payday loan may write a post-dated personal check to lenders and the lender can hold the check until borrower's next payday. If the borrower is not capable of paying off the amount, lender can submit the check.
There is an option for the borrowers to refinance the loan for example:
If you need an urgent cash of around $400, you may write a post-dated personal check for $460 for up to 2 months. At the time of borrower's next payday there is an option of check redemption by paying off $460 and can immediately get an additional loan of $400. Here the lender is charging $60 finance charge for a loan of $400 on 2 week terms or can say with an APR of 390%.
Here the lenders have to follow industry standards for collection practices; there are several cases where the lenders violate these standards and follow illegal practices (criminal prosecution) for collection.
Thus payday is a finance option which is available to UK employees to get them out of credit problems which has to be repaid around borrowers next payday.
