If you know that the people behind payday loans and various other companies like that, are the people that sold people sub prime mortgages, and don't advise them appropriately.
I would be very careful with using them.

    Sub prime mortgages were still mortgages - they lent the money.

    What is this fascination?

    Borrow money - pay it back - job done.

    Boo. Na na na na na. Yah boo sucks to u 2.

    Rooooom service, you called, Sir? How may we be of help?

    That is my considered opinion about pay day loans. Heed these words of wisdom, especially the na word, that's where the important info is. Sucks is also a good one to consider in this context. Boo also has some resonance but that's more just backing vocals for the lead vox.

    Here endeth today's lesson.

    Pernicious, good word. I wonder where you got that from. Is it on your mind now? Do you think that word last thing at night and then again first thing in the morning. Is it in your dreams as well now. Well, I never, powerful things words, aren't they. Don't forget insidious, that's another good one. That gets right in there, that gets to parts that other beers don't quite reach.:j

    As I know the main people who set up sub prime brokers as I used to work directly with them, they all now work set up pay day loans. Maybe not all of them but I'd you do an FSA search on the owners I bet you will be surprised. Stay away from them !!! If you can't get a normal loan there is a reason!! Start managing your money better or going without.

    PDL are fine if the person using them is responsible and pays on time, we have seen many posts on here where the OP has neglected the responsibilities of a PDL.

    So you know SOME of them ? But you don't know ALL of them. Which ones do you know ?

    Still no evidence i see. And you're linking to a post from 2010.
