Payday loans, also known by the names pay advance and payday check, refer to small and short term loans which are meant to cover up the borrower’s expenses till his next payday. They are sometimes also called cash advances. Different countries have different legislations concerning payday loans. The UK has very liberal legislations about payday loans.

The number of payday loans in the UK has shown significant increase in the last couple of years. Every year, the number of payday loans is rising by 1.3 times. The advantage that borrowers in the UK have over those in the USA is that they have no prohibition on rolling over lending. Also, the usury limit does not exist either. There is a certain company in the UK which gives a typical APR (annual percentage rate) of 1355 percent. This high value is a result of compounding and if that were not to be taken into account it would be only 300 percent. Although these loans have been becoming increasing popular in the UK, they have also become a subject of criticism. In a way, the increasing popularity of payday loans also point at unsustainable levels of personal debt and problems arising from the credit crunch. However, loan companies are fat minting on these financial situations as more and more people queue up for a payday loan. One issue which has come to the fore in the midst of all this is that these companies do not mention their interest rate in their advertisements and their sole focus is on the loan amount which can be as high as anywhere between 1000 to 1500 pounds. One needs be extremely careful about all aspects of taking a payday loan as their availability becomes more and more easy.

Other important documents that are needed are copies of a check, signed paperwork and recent bank statements. The money gets deposited in your account and is deducted electronically on your next payday.

Payday loans have been largely acclaimed as well as criticised. They have been often blamed for draining money for low income communities, exploiting financial problems for profit, aggressive advertising and debt collection practices, ignoring legal regulations and cashing out on customers facing financial hardships. There are various other alternatives to payday loans. Some of these are credit union loans, pawnbrokers which offer lower interest rates but with more strict terms, paycheck cash advances, credit payment plans, cash advances from credit cards, bank overdraft protection, small consumer loans and emergency community assistance plans.

The tentative deadline was in September and now that has been extended to 2010 through the holiday season. Americans will grossly see their rates or limits become affected at the worst time of year for retailers.

I am a journalist living in California making decent money now, but financial problems I had in college are coming back to haunt me. I have very poor credit as a result. Now, I have had an emergency situation pop up – I need to pay off some folks I borrowed money off of and I need to return to my home in Arkansas to tend to a family situation. I have $300 in my savings account, but I need approximately $5000 to take care of my immediate needs. I can’t go to a payday lender but I’d be very willing to work out a deal with a private lender who can send money to me where I can get it very quickly. I’ve tried to sign up for Prosper but it will take 5 days or so for them to verify my information and I don’t have that much time. I have two websites that will verify my standing as a journalist and my employment status, and I have several computers I’d be willing to sell or put up as some form of collateral or something. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
