don’t even go down that road. they are scams,rip offs and legalized loan sharking.
i used to work in a place like that. there is no law on how much interest they can charge.
you may borrow 1,000 and have to pay back 2,000. don’t do it!

They are loans for a short period of time, usually until your next check, often based on a post-dated check you give them.
They are typically high interest, with additional fees added, and expensive.
“Rip off” depends on which side of the deal you are on. From the company side – they are issuing a high risk loan and expect a percentage of them to default. From your side – they are expensive alternatives to mainstream lenders.

Rip offs, they charge a HUGE amount of interest and if you don’t pay it back right away, they slap on more interest and you are screwed!!

pay day loans are the biggest scam to date.
easiest loan to get, hardest loan to pay.
23 percent on credit card is much more safer that payday loans interest.
stay away from them, get your money elsewhere

because of the extremely high interest they charge they are considered scams

The only reason they are not outlawed is because it’s a new concept and the government doesn’t know how to regulate them but the interest rates because they are short term amount to somewhere around 300% interest. It’s a worse credit trap than credit cards and you’ll find people here on Yahoo Answers that are trying to get out of the trap but that have 3-4 loans ongoing. They need one loan to pay off the other. Don’t go there. You are better off asking your employer, family, friend or friendly loan shark for a loan than those places. Read the terms and conditions of those “conveniences” and you’ll agree that it’s not a “convenience” at all. You are in essence giving the company a check from your next payday. If that check bounces, you can be prosecuted by law for bouncing checks and while it may not happen the first time, it could happen. If you are already having problems that you need a loan, it doesn’t make sense to need a loan to pay that loan. You get the point. Pick up a part time job or sell things you no longer want or need before thinking of pay day loans.

Payday loans are short-term loans, which typically reach up to $500. The lenders` claim no credit checks, and the loans are bridged to provide cash flow gapping between paychecks.
Before you apply a pay day loan,learn more about it;

I suggest you check out http://www.prosper.com Prosper is an on-line micro-lending community. You just register and Prosper assigns you a credit risk. Then you put out a request for funds. Let’s say you want $5K for medical bills at 15%. Individuals will then typically pledge between $50-500 at the interest rate of their choice. You get to decide if you want to pay that amount. If your loan is fully funded Prosper gives you the money and acts as a loan servicer. You pay Prosper, Prosper takes a small cut and divides up the rest to the other lenders. Take a look.

don’t bother with it, they don’t give enough, th interest is high they are very short personal loans based on how much you earn in 2 weeks and require your paystub, a voided check from your checking account and if they don’t get paid right they debit your checking account at the end of 2 weeks and new laws restrict the amount of your first loan to your paycheck amount..
