Well, I just had a good laugh. I received a message on my home voice mail that was a solicitation call for an ONLINE pdl. I couldn't believe it. They must be getting tired of having their emails ignored so have resorted to phone calls. I cannot remember the name of the company--but it must be one that turned me down because the caller said "the lenders have changed their qualifications for loans and you are now eligible for a loan up to $1000". If I had answered the phone I would have said "YOU have GOT to be kidding!" Has anyone else had an ONLINE pdl make a solicitation call?


Believe it or not I received one through a text message on my cell phone, I don't know how in the world that happened. It must have been from awhile ago when I signed up for one of these stupid things and I must have filled in my cell phone number as being optional. I replied back with everyword possible (STOP, OPT-OUT AND UNSUBCRIBE) LOL..I hoped it worked because I haven't seen one since.

OK, before I continue...I just wanna say, the following is NOT FOR ME!!!

A friend of mine, who is going with us to vegas, asked me yesterday if I knew of any "cash advance loans" that didn't ask for a check number. She doesn't have checks, but is trying to get a loan till the 30th because that's when she gets paid, and she's broke for vegas. THANK GOD I honestly don't know any that don't ask for a check number, so I couldn't give her any, BUT, I really don't know how to discourage her from getting a PDL anyway...any advice?

Ok.....*DEEP BREATH*

GRAB HER BUY HER SHOULDERS AND SAY

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE EVIL AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT!

Then fall down like you have fainted.

Seriously, I would level with her and tell her how much these will hurt you. She's her own person, and if she really wants to get a pdl, MOST of mine didn't ask for a check number....But I really don't want to give that information, because I'd feel like I was giving her a lethal dose of prescription medication, or putting a gun to her head. :(

Don't you guys just want to run over the sign in your town that says PAYDAY LOANS HERE!?!?!?!?!?! OMG This AWFUL feeling comes over me just when I see those words. I literally feel sick to my stomach.

I did see something on the news the other night where they are trying to ban them that attract people in the military. I didn't hear the whole story so that is really all I know. Isn't that sad that they set up around places where they know people are desperate?
