    If you have a Money Shop nearby, they 'only' charge £13 per £100 on cheque cashing, holding the cheque for up to 1 Month. You just need to take heaps of ID, proof of employment and address to set up an account with them. Just checked their site and they do debit card advances as well. Not as convenient as doing it from your computer though. Cash Converters also to cash til payday, no idea of the fee though.

    Payday loans listed on Moneysupermarket all chage £25 for a Month per £100.
