I keep getting e-mails from companies that want to give you free money in your account next day..."100% no hassle" well, I was wondering is this a wise idea to go with... they're giving me 500 to 1000 dollars to help pay bills or for emergencies. What is usually the repayment plan for these institutions? and if they are even real... i don't know.

Hi dusgraff187

One thing I wish to tell you at this point before you think anything is "Never Get Tempted over anything". When such companies offer help to you readily, it is obvious that they want something for that service in return. You never know taking that obligation will end up with some unpredictable expenses. If you really want to sign in for such services, then I will ask you to look in for some reputed companies listed in the BBB and see if any complaint has been filed against that company. It's a competitive market and after all, you have to have the best deal, Isn't it?

Always look for the foundation of that company and see if it's genuine or not.

Taking the other side, if you want to get your bills paid, then you can do that by consolidating your debts. It will ease your life by making different bills consolidated into one amount and then you can pay that amount from your monthly income slowly and steadily. Signing in for debt consolidation will reduce your monthly payments and you will have lower interest rates comparatively.

Give a thought and do let me know what you think

Waiting to hear from you

First I must start off by saying that money is never free. So right from the start, you have to keep your guard up and be suspicious. There is most likely strings attached to this money. Details that would be in the fine print which they are hoping that you will not read.

These details would probably include interest rate manipulation where they charge a low or no introductory interest and then hit you with a high interest rate a few months into the life of your loan. This is probably how they rationalized the free money. It is free for now but you will pay through your eyeballs in a few months time.

I suggest that if you are not in a serious financial dilemma, you should not even consult with companies such as these that try to lure you to consolidate your bills with a loan. because essentially, they are making you repay a loan with another loan. And this consolidation loan would more than likely be a longterm loan and a longterm albatross around your neck. So I would suggest that you ignore these advertisements.

But if you do decide to engage one of these companies, you should research these companies first and foremost. You can do this at the better business bureau website. From there you will be able to determine if these companies are reputable or not.

Hi dusgraff187
Welcome to forums.
What i feel is that you should not go in for a payday loan in order to payoff the emergency bills. In fact if you take a payday loan then it is equal to falling in a debt trap.

As far as i know these payday loans are gauranteed against your paycheck. The process is you avail a payday loan and it has to be repayed on your next payday. If you fail to repay the payday loan you may avail rollover option by paying some extra fees. In this way you go on repaying the interest but your principal reamains unpaid. So it is better if you can avoid this. Although it is a better option in times of financial emergency still while availing any option you should consider the pros and cons of the option.


Hope you find this information useful

I am happy that you have learnt to avoid payday loans in the near future. No matter, how bad the personal financial condition may be, but these payday loans should never be invited in the house. They solve the problem at the beginning but their consequences are irreparable.

My message to the community is that payday loans tend to be a support during crisis but they further hurt the person making the daily life more crucial.

Thank goodness that you have been able to release yourself from the grips of these payday loans. You are luck because many people are having tremendous difficulty finding a way to pay off these payday loans.



Payday loans are commonly referred to as costly cash. They are short-term, high-rate loans that go by a variety of names: payday loans, cash advance loans, check advance loans, post-dated check loans or deferred deposit check loans.



So, recognize these alternative names. So, when you see them you should know that you should avoid them.



Under the Truth in Lending Act, the cost of such loans must be disclosed. I believe that if more people actually took a look at all of the fees and the finance charges, they will think twice before they obtain a payday loan.


There are a few alternatives that people should consider compared to a payday loan:



If you are having trouble paying for basic amenities, one should look at making a realistic budget for daily items.



Also, build up your savings so you wont have to rely on payday loans in order to take care of emergencies.

In other words, good old-fashioned fiscal responsibility is the best way to fall into the payday loan trap.

Budgeting is the best route to take; that's what I've had to do and things are going a lot better. It can be frustrating...for example, I won't step foot in a mall--I dont want to tempt myself or torture myself by seeing things I can't buy.
If you go grocery shopping, buy store-brands, instead of name brands. Also, if you can get a small job on the side, that really helps. I took up babysitting and pet sitting and I get a lot of requests icon_smile.gif
