payday loans

  • Can't you just let a couple go through, so you don't snowball even more charges next month? I honestly don't mean to be rude but I'm not sure how these can "suddenly" become repayable in three days' time, like it's completely unexpected....??

  • If you do not have enough money to repay these loans, and are having to borrow them all the time, you need to see a free debt management charity such as CAP or CCCS immediately so that you can get help with your debt and budgeting etc.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    You set up a whole thread saying everybody on the planet should agree with your point of view on this. But if you're sick of reading about them, I think you're visiting the wrong pages of the internet.

    This particular poster probably needs "ruining" financially to save them from themselves and stop them getting more debt. If a handful of PDL companies lose money to achieve this, that's fine with me.

    What could be more brainless than "hi iv gt 5 payday loans all due to come out on friday"? That is some idiotic self-destructive behaviour. The PDLs will finish him off, they aren't the problem - that came before he applied.

    EDIT: Reading the OP's other utterings on this forum, I'm going to hazard a guess that he hasn't volunteered his previous address to the PDL companies. The minor issue of mortgage arrears and a repossession. So he's probably obtained the funds by deception anyway. Their fault for not having robust enough checks. His fault for fibbing when he applied.

    .

    It's really quite simple Simon, when you stop borrowing money you have zero chance of repaying, things will appear much clearer.

    Who are the 5 companies. and are they ddeb payments or by card.
    ifddeb, cancel these. who do you bank with? the banks all update at different times, some comanies systems will ask shorty after the update, some.... txt loan/ cash genie/ 247 moneybox generally dont ask til shortly after 7pm.

    if you do online banking, and can be awake prior to the money going in then you can transfer.

    Again some PDL's are easier to deal with, but you need to tell us which 5,, so we can help.
    Promo codes are never always cheaper..... isnt that right EuropCar?

    Capital finance one are a nightmare to deal with - I had a payment arrangement agreed in writing with them yet they still cleared my bank account out!

    Can you roll over so you just pay the interest and then open a new account?

    Have you rolled them over before then? usually you have until the day before to roll over!

    I am not sure what else you can do as many PDL companies take their payments at midnight automatically, but maybe try what another post has said and stay up to transfer your money straight out as soon as it goes in!
