I was going through my emails and deleting the hundreds of PDL ones I get everyday and I came across this one and actually took time to read it. Things like this should be banned and quite clearly gives people a false impression of payday loans

 

5 Good Reasons why Susan should get a Payday Loan

 

[pretty date]

 

We've all been there: the dreaded day when you come up a few hundred pounds short of your rent, mortgage or auto payment. Or you suddenly have a major car or home repair that needs fixing now. Problem is, your credit cards are maxed and your bank account statement is a little weak these days. So why would you consider a payday loan to get you through the lean times? Here are five facts to consider:

1-There's no credit check. A welcome relief for those of us with less-than-stellar scores, who wouldn't get a loan from the bank. And as long as you repay the loan in time, there won't be any negative impact on your score.

 

2-If you don't have the cash to cover bill payment, the damage caused to your credit report can be long-lasting and prevent you from getting loans and credit cards in the future. A payday loan can help you avoid this mess, by giving you the cash to make those payments.

 

3-Unlike pawn shops and loan sharks, payday loans use clear, fixed terms for borrowing and repayment. There's no mystery about the penalties or interest owed if you take longer to repay the loan.

 

4-The application process is fast and easy, usually putting cash into your account immediately. Repayment is just as easy, as you can do it online through your bank account.

 

5- Payday loans are unsecured, so you're not in danger of losing your home or car.

 

When you're in a pinch, the payday loan is there to get you through. Just make sure you know the repayment terms and have a solid plan for repayment. It's not uncommon for a small payday loan to cost several hundred pounds in the end - so consider your options carefully. Unless you know for certain you can pay the debt back within a month, you're better off using credit cards, a bank overdraft, or debt repayment plans if you need to pay other creditors.

 

The bottom line is, make sure you have the ability to pay back the loan within a month, so you don't wind up paying astronomical interest rates. And make sure you really need the money, because you don't want to risk being enslaved to a PayDay loan company for an impulsive shopping spree.

 

 

It is disgusting that this sort of junk is sent, and those of us having a vulnerable moment may be attracted by it!

Hi Suemumof3

I have just read the email you were sent.

Sure does get your blood boiling.

The power of advertising.

The sheer amount of advertising,the amount of money spent is overpowering.

Where does all this money come from.It comes from people and communities being targeted up and down Great Britain.

Sponsoring football clubs,TV programs,radio,even free transport offered at one time.Costing millions.Targeting.

The Kings of Legal Loan Sharking have just hired a top film director to make a half hour documentary on how good a payday loan is,or has been for 12 people.

The sheer front of this,what can we do.

The power of money sways minds,influences.We see this with the donations.

 

Let us remember this.The loans from the Kings of Payday loans lending.A wonderful loan from the Lepers of Lending Wonga.

Borrowing £400 + Interest & fees £127.15 = Total to repay £527.15

 

 

Let us consider this-A 30 day loan from the Credit Union,now in Birmingham and London.

Expected to go NationWide.

 

 

CREDIT UNION LOAN Borrowing £400 plus Interest& 8.93 = Total to repay 408.93- For 30 days.

 

Banning because of the money involved may prove hard to do.

 

But how we fight back is easier perhaps.

 

Join a Credit Union.Begin to squeeze them.

When Wonga release the documentary,i will also release one on the same day.Just need 3 more weeks to finish.My answer may be small but true.Remind them of what they are.Legal Loan Sharks,that is all.

 

Take action against irresponsible advertising

 

If you see an advert for a payday loan that you think is irresponsible or misleading take action to get it taken down.

Make a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). It has the power to ban adverts which break the rules. However it can only investigate or take action if a complaint is made.

The rules about the advertising of payday loans are quite complicated but we’ve pulled together some top tips to help you spot the bad ones.
