			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Fall of 2008 has been a difficult time for the payday loan industry.  As we have discussed, voters in several States, including Ohio and Arizona, dealt blows to payday lenders in those States.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t just voters who gave payday lenders a hard time &#8212; the Arkansas Supreme Court also did.  In November, the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the state Check Cashers Act &#8220;clearly and unmistakably&#8221; violates the Arkansas Constitution by allowing payday loans at interest rates above the 17% cap set by the State Constitution. Arkansas is the only State in the U.S. that sets a lending rate cap in its Constitution (other States with caps set the caps by statute).</p>
<p>You can read the full text of the Court&#8217;s opinion <a title="arizona supreme court ruling on payday loans" href="http://courts.arkansas.gov/court_opinions/sc/2008b/20081106/published/08-164.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the State of Nevada recently field lawsuits against ten related Internet payday lenders (all of which are primarily based in the United Kingdom). The lawsuits claim that the lenders violate federal and state laws as they did not clearly disclose important loan terms to borrowers. The lawsuits also claim that the lenders used abusive and deceptive collection practices.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt from the FTC&#8217;s <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/11/cashtoday.shtm" target="_blank">press release:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>According to the complaint filed by the FTC and the State of Nevada, through Web sites such as cash2day4u.com the defendants offered consumers loans of $500 or less within 24 hours without requiring a credit check, proof of income, or documentation. Consumers who applied for a loan on the defendants’ Web site were required to provide their bank account and Social Security numbers.</p>
<p>As stated in the complaint, the defendants’ representatives called applicants and told them that they qualified for a loan, typically around $200, that had to be repaid by their next payday with a fee ranging from $35 to $80. They explained that if the loan was not repaid by then, it would be extended automatically for an extra fee that would be debited from the consumer’s bank account “until the loan is repaid.” Consumers were required to give the defendants access to their accounts for payment of the fees. Some consumers were told to call the defendants before their payday to ask them to debit the full loan amount from their accounts.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The clear and full disclosure of payday loan terms is an important part of responsible payday lending.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are more people living from paycheck to paycheck than you probably realize. The average person makes less than $25,000 a year. If they have medical insurance, then this cost can easily eat through almost half of their take home pay. Many people cannot afford to take out healthcare insurance and are definitely not prepared for any unexpected circumstance that requires a large amount of cash. <a href="http://www.theloansblog.info/" target='_blank'>Payday loans</a> have become the short term fix for many lower income individuals, but is this really the solution to the problem or is it just creating more problems for the person who turns to a cash advance company?</p>
<p>Payday loans or cash advances work by giving you cash until payday. You take in a valid driver&#8217;s license, recent bank statement and a recent check stub. They calculate how much money you can take out at one time. On your next payday, you come back in and pay off the loan. Sounds easy enough, but here is where the problems begin. Most people still find themselves in a bind. If you are living from paycheck to paycheck and barely making ends meet, then you must understand that you are tacking on an enormous interest rate fee that you must also pay back.</p>
<p>Most people cannot payback the loan in one lump sum. The loan services allow them to bring in the cash plus the interest and then withdraw the same initial amount of the loan back out again. Two weeks or a month later, you are back to paying the interest and taking the loan out again. Places such as Cash Advance America know that the people who use their service have limited funds, yet they charge ridiculous interest rates. The more you go in and use their loan services, the more money you are putting into their pockets.</p>
<p>Payday loans and cash advances are a <a href="http://www.theloansblog.info/category/personal-loans/" target='_blank'>personal loan</a> that has become very popular in areas where there is a lower to middle class population. The whole notion of cash until payday is a great idea if it were not for the interest rates and fees. It is a short term fix that can lead to a long term problem if it is not addressed immediately. You can quickly find yourself in a deep hole and climbing out can be very precarious. They keep charging more fees and you keep slipping further and further into debt. However, if you find yourself in a situation and you desperately need money, then these loans can work for a short time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Payday lenders in Ohio are searching for different ways to do business now that Ohio has enacted a strict new law which caps small, short term loan interest rates at below 30% APR.  Consumer advocates are concerned that payday lenders are finding a way around the election results.</p>
<p>As with lenders in other States that capped payday loan interest rates, lenders in Ohio have looked into a number of different product types that would allow them to service their target demographic as well as make a profit. </p>
<p>A spokesperson for the Center for Responsible Lending (which lobbies against payday lending) stated:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Whenever states reject payday lenders, they try to find other ways to keep trapped customers coming back to their stores to keep generating the same fee income off of them.  They look to other laws, rename their product or rename a fee, saying it&#8217;s not a fee but just a service.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since May, six months before Election Day, the state of Ohio has received a large number of applications from payday lenders seeking to be approved to issue loans under the Ohio Mortgage Loan Act. There also have been 702 applications from lenders interested in offering loans under the Small Loan Act.</p>
<p>The Small Loan Act governs non-depository lenders who make loans up to $5,000 not secured by liens against real estate. Lenders can calculate interest by charging a maximum 25 percent on the entire loan amount or 28 percent on the first $1,000 and 22 percent on the remainder of the loan up to $5,000.</p>
<p>The Ohio Mortgage Loan Act governs lenders who make unsecured loans and loans secured by real estate or other personal property. The maximum rate is 25 percent with no loan amount limit.</p>
<p>But both of those laws allow lenders to charge origination fees that would increase the annual percentage rate.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that customers need access to short term loans, and lenders need to be able to make a reasonable profit.  Market creativity will likely make sure that both objectives are met in Ohio.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In November, the payday loan industry in Ohio took a big hit when &#8220;Ohio Issue 5&#8243; on the November ballot passed.  Here&#8217;s a quick summary of the ballot measure (which was a referendum):</p>
<p>Ohio voters were asked whether they want to approve Section 3 of Ohio House Bill 545 that caps the Ohio payday loan industry&#8217;s interest rate at 28%. The interest rate cap prior to the passage of HB 545 was 391% ($15 per $100 on a two-week loan). </p>
<p>The ballot language was the subject of intense debate and argument prior to the election.  The payday loan industry was successful in having the language of the ballot changed so that it did not contain any mention of a &#8220;391 percent interest rate&#8221; (which was the language in the original ballot). Instead, the ballot item only told voters that if they reject a portion of the law restricting the industry, payday lenders would be able to charge rates and fees that &#8220;substantially exceed&#8221; a 28 percent annual rate. The 28 percent is the cap placed in the law approved this year by the Legislature.</p>
<p>Ohio Issue 5 was passed by a wide majority of voters, leaving payday lenders in Ohio with a major problem (and likely leaving many Ohio citizens with no option when it comes to short term loans).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The payday loan industry in Arizona suffered a defeat in the November ballotrs.  Arizona Proposition 200 (also known as the Payday Loan Reform Act) was defeated. </p>
<p>The Payday Loan Reform Act was backed by Arizona Payday Loan businesses, and was less restrictive than the Stop Payday Loans Initiative, sponsored by Rep. Marion McClure and Sen. Debbie McCune Davis. That measure was withdrawn in early June when not enough signatures were  collected to qualify it for the ballot.</p>

<p>The 100-word description filed with the Arizona Secretary of State&#8217;s office for this initiated state statute reads:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Arizonans use payday lending services everyday to meet unforeseen expenses and financial emergencies. The payday lending industry is set to be eliminated and the Arizona Legislature refuses to enact reforms to benefit borrowers while preserving this important financial option. This measure will bring dramatic pro-consumer reform to payday lending and preserve consumer choice. It includes a substantial rate cut, eliminates rolling-over principal to extend a loan, creates a repayment plan at no cost to customers that can&#8217;t meet their obligations, and inhibits a borrower&#8217;s ability to obtain more than one loan at a time.&#8221; </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="drop_cap">F</span>inancial problems always come about in an unexpected way. So many people live paycheck to paycheck, which means there is no money to take care of an emergency situation. When an emergency situation comes up between paychecks, it is very likely that the money is not there to take care of it. This is when panic begins and stress becomes very high. The person experiencing this will start trying to figure out what they can pawn or who they can borrow money off of. Unfortunately, there is one option they forget about and that is the payday loan online.</p>
<p>The payday loan online is probably the most forgotten option at times because it is so easy. However, the payday loan cash advance is growing in popularity because more people are realizing it is there. Now there are millions upon millions of people receiving an online cash advance each year to get themselves out of those tight financial situations.</p>
<p>Non-discriminatory</p>
<p>The payday loan cash advance does not require a person to have good credit. As a matter of fact, getting an online cash advance doesn&#8217;t require your credit being looked at. The only requirements are that you have a job and a bank account. Because financial problems don&#8217;t discriminate against who they inflict their wrath upon, the payday loan online doesn&#8217;t discriminate either.</p>
<p>Just imagine a world without the payday loan cash advance. If the bank was the only option, then most people would not be able to get out of their financial turmoil. If a person doesn&#8217;t have good credit, they can&#8217;t acquire financing from the bank. Some people literally have heart attacks because they don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re going to do when money becomes an issue, but the growing popularity of the online cash advance is putting minds at ease all of the time. These are people who know that they can turn to the internet to find a solution that will not discriminate against them because of their financial problems.</p>
<p>Quick and easy</p>
<p>Just know that when the going gets tough, you can send the tough right back out the door. The payday loan online can be the stick that you use to ward off financial problems. It is quick, easy, and gives you peace of mind in so many ways. All it takes to get your payday loan cash advance is a quick journey on the internet. You&#8217;ll notice that your online cash advance will be in your bank account within 24 hours. That&#8217;s what makes the payday loan online great. You apply, you get a quick approval, and your payday loan cash advance is yours the next day. You can then rest because you don&#8217;t have to pay your online cash advance back until your next payday. That makes the payday loan a viable solution to unreasonable situations. Unfortunately, problems don&#8217;t pick and choose. They just happen, but you can counteract the effects by going online and applying for a payday loan. You&#8217;ll be glad you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You work hard for your money, and you work just as hard to make your money go as far as you can. You keep records of all your bills, how much is due, and when they&#8217;re due. Then you make sure they get paid in plenty of time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s too bad being responsible isn&#8217;t enough to guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong. There are no guarantees, and sometimes you may get more than your fair share of bad luck. A Payday Loan Online can help you get your finances in order. If you have unexpected expenses, you may not have until payday to get the cash you need. You can get a payday advance, and defer repayment until your next payday. That way, your bills get paid on time and you don&#8217;t end up paying late fees. It&#8217;s like getting your regular payday, only sooner!</p>
<p>To qualify for a Payday Loan Online, you need to be of legal age. You also need a current savings or checking account so that the money can be deposited and repayment can later be withdrawn electronically from the same account. You also need a stable source of income. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you get paid weekly, biweekly, or monthly. If your income doesn&#8217;t come from a job, but from some other stable, verifiable source, that&#8217;s okay, too. You may still qualify for a Payday Advance Online.</p>
<p>Sometimes credit doesn&#8217;t help, we need cash! If you can get a cash advance from an existing credit card account, expect to pay high interest rates. Often, the interest rates for cash are three or four times that for other types of purchases. Then, the interest is added to the account balance monthly. It can take you years to pay off one cash advance from your credit card!</p>
<p>There are businesses that you can go to in order to get a payday advance. Of course, you have to go to them during their business hours. You have to take copies of bank statements and fill out a pile of paperwork. You also have to write a check that you usually have to pick up when repayment time comes.</p>
<p>With a Payday Loan Online, you can skip all that! Just click on the link and it will take you to the application. It takes no more than two minutes to fill out. Approval is almost immediate, and if you are approved, the money may be in your account within one hour. When it&#8217;s time to repay the loan, the amount you borrowed, plus a small fee, is withdrawn electronically from the same account. There&#8217;s never any paperwork, no faxing, not even a check and the online lender&#8217;s are always open!</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to have credit references for a Payday Loan Online. In fact, you don&#8217;t have to have good credit at all. There&#8217;s no credit check. So if you meet the three qualifications, you may still qualify. You can get from $500 to $1500, depending on the amount of your income. The fee also depends on the amount you borrow. When you get your regular payday, the loan is repaid and you don&#8217;t have to worry about paying long-term payments or high interest rates.</p>
<p>A Payday Loan Online can get you your money when you need it, so that you can stay on schedule!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A payday loan, also sometimes known as a cash advance loan is a short-term loan that is borrowed until the person&#8217;s next payday. Normally on a payday loan, a person can borrow from $100.00 to $2000.00, which is due on/ in two weeks. The fees usually run approximately $15.00 for every $100.00 that is borrowed but this can vary significantly.</p>
<p>Payday loans are unsecured loans, so there is no long wait for money, you can get your money in just a short time, and there are no credit checks. The only thing that is usually required is a few check stubs to show the lender that they do have a steady and secure source of income. They are great for those urgent past due bills that need to be paid before one of your utilities are turned off. They are also good for a small loan for a down payment for something that you really want or need right now.</p>
<p>The lending company may want you to leave a post-dated check for the amount of the loan plus the fees and finance charges. On the day that the loan is due, the borrower is expected to be at the lending facility in person to pick up the post-dated check, and pay back the loan in cash. However, when people do not get to the loan office in time the lending company can then deposit the post-dated check into the bank, or by electronic withdrawal. If the borrower does not have the money in the bank to cover the amount of the post-dated check they end up having a bounced check fee, plus the amount of the check that they have to still pick up with an additional late fee. This turns out to add up to much more money than the original agreement called for.</p>
<p>Many internet lenders offer more money and cheaper finance rates if you borrow from them. The reason for this is that the money lending market is extremely competitive, and doing business online can be done with much lower overhead.  But as with any company you do business with, either online or offline, you should check into the company to make sure they are legitimate.   </p>
<p>In countries such as Canada, the regulations are strict, and if any lender charges above 60%, it is a criminal offence. In the United States, the regulations are left to each state as to how payday loans are handled. For instance, in the state of Georgia, payday loans have been banned for over 100 years. But in 2004, the Georgia Legislation has made it a felony for anyone who offers a payday loan. New Mexico and North Carolina are two other states that have very strict regulations on payday loans. </p>
<p>Payday loans in the UK have been on the rise, because there is no law against payday lending, and there is now pretty much an limited amount that you can borrow. However, the interest rates are drastically higher. </p>
<p>Be very careful as some loan companies have been known to charge up to 400% interest and even more in certain countries. So be sure to read the fine print. Never be late on your payment, so that it will keep your rates down to a minimum. Payday loans are good in their own way, but when it is abused people start having trouble paying it back.  If you can afford to wait a few days to get approvals, a personal loan with an extended payback period may be better for you, but if you need the money right now, a payday loan is the way to go since you can usually get your money in a few hours instead of a few days.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Payday Loan Online is a short-term unsecured loan that lets you borrow money from your next payday so that you can use it when you need it. Then payment is deferred until your next paycheck is in the bank. A Payday Loan Online is not like a long-term loan where you borrow large amounts of money and then make payments on it for many months or years. High interest rates are added onto the balance, and you end up paying back a lot more than you borrowed.</p>
<p>There are three qualifications that must be met to qualify for a Payday Loan Online:</p>
<p>1. You must be of legal age.</p>
<p>2. You must have a current checking or savings account</p>
<p>3. You must have a stable source of income</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how often you get paid. If it&#8217;s every week, every two weeks, or every month, you may still qualify.</p>
<p>To apply for a Payday Loan Online, just get online an start searching all the different lenders that are on the internet. You can complete the application in no time at all. You will know almost immediately if you qualify. If you do, the money will be electronically deposited into your bank account. Often the money is deposited within one hour. If you apply on a weekend, then the money will be deposited on the next business day.</p>
<p>When your next payday is in the bank, the amount of the loan, plus a small one-time fee, depending on the amount you borrowed, is electronically withdrawn from your bank account. Your loan is repaid and you don&#8217;t have to think about it again.</p>
<p>The lenders don&#8217;t require any collateral to get a payday advance and they don&#8217;t use credit checks. If you qualify, credit history doesn&#8217;t make a difference. They don&#8217;t ask you what you want the money for, either. Once you&#8217;re qualified, the money is yours. It&#8217;s what you would have gotten on your next payday, only sooner.</p>
<p>You never know when something unexpected is going to happen and cause you extra expenses that you just don&#8217;t have the money available for. People get sick, things tear up, and sometimes there&#8217;s just no way you can wait. That doesn&#8217;t mean you should have to get in over your head to get the money you need. You don&#8217;t have to wait until we open to apply. You don&#8217;t have to leave your job to come to a cash advance office during business hours. They are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The entire loan process is completed online, so you don&#8217;t ever have to leave home. There&#8217;s no paperwork to fill out, no faxes to send, no checks to pick up on payday. They are here for you to make it fast, easy, and private to get your cash.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are all kinds of circumstances that can cause money troubles for you. Many people live from paycheck to paycheck and constantly struggle to make ends meet. It&#8217;s really hard for them to pay rent or mortgage payments, car payments, utilities and of course buy groceries. Not to mention just paying for gas to get back and forth to work. This is difficult even for dual income families.</p>
<p>What do you do if problems arise and you need money now? In the event you find yourself in this situation you should consider a payday loan. This is a small, short-term loan to help you get by until your next payday. These types of loans have become wildly popular and it&#8217;s not hard to figure out why.</p>
<p>There are, as usual, some things to be aware of before you apply for one of these loans. These loans like most everything else have their pros and cons. A cash advance loan designed to get you through to payday should not be used as along term solution for financial woes.</p>
<p>Now the amount of money you will be able to borrow from these lenders will vary. Some will allow you to get more than others will, but, most will not give you an amount that is more than your next paycheck will be. Remember this is a short term loan and the lender will want to be repaid quickly.</p>
<p>Some lenders of payday cash loans will be more flexible than others. For example, one lender may give you another week if you&#8217;re late with repayment and simply charge you a finance fee for the extension. Others may not be so lenient if you falter on your original agreement. It&#8217;s best, however, to try to repay these cash advances when they are originally due because the extra charges for weekly extensions can add up in a hurry.</p>
<p>Finance charges also vary from one lender to another. It&#8217;s easier to view their charges as simply finance charges rather than interest since it is a weekly or bi-weekly agreement.</p>
<p>The finance charges may seem a bit steep at first but when compared to credit card late fees and over limit fees or overdraft charges by your bank they will seem more reasonable. These charges also will vary from state to state as well.</p>
<p>These days you can get approved for a payday loan online without ever leaving the comfort of your home. You can get a loan while wearing your pajamas if you want to. You simply provide the payday cash advance lender the needed information and the lender will deposit the funds directly into your bank account. This makes getting a payday loan extremely quick and easy.</p>
<p>Again, I feel the need to stress that payday loans online or offline are only a temporary solution to help you out in the short-run. If you have long-term financial problems, then an easy payday loan may not be the best solution for your circumstances. Is a payday loan right for you? Only you can answer that question.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The average home has at least one computer with internet access. That&#8217;s all you need to apply for a Payday Loan Online. If you have internet access, that&#8217;s all it takes. Chances are, if you don&#8217;t have it at home, you have it available to you at your place of employment. It&#8217;s not that hard to access the internet anymore since it&#8217;s become a staple to so many of us. Even if you&#8217;re away from home, on a business trip or vacation, internet access is probably going to be available to you at local businesses that offer internet services or at many libraries.</p>
<p>A Payday Loan Online is available anywhere there&#8217;s internet and the entire process takes place from your computer. You just click on the link, and it takes you to the application. The application can be completed in no more than two minutes and you&#8217;ll know almost instantly if you&#8217;re approved. Once you are approved, the money from your loan can be in your bank account in as little as one hour.</p>
<p>All you need to qualify for a Payday Loan Online is to be of legal age, have an active checking or savings account, and a steady source of income. There&#8217;s no credit check, no long waiting period, and no having to leave home to apply.</p>
<p>Cash advances are available from $500 to $1500, depending on how much your income is. If you don&#8217;t need the full amount you&#8217;re qualified to borrow, then you just borrow the amount you need. When you get your payday, the amount of the loan, plus a small fee, is withdrawn from your bank account.</p>
<p>If your income isn&#8217;t from a source of employment, but is a stable, verifiable source of income, then you may still qualify. That means a reliable source of income that you receive at regular intervals.</p>
<p>A Payday Loan Online is a short-term loan that can be used for emergencies, such as car repairs. You may want to give your living room a facelift before visitors arrive. Or maybe you can&#8217;t wait until payday to get that swimming pool out in the backyard. Whatever you need the money for, if you need it now, get it fast with a Payday Advance.</p>
<p>Long-term loans are usually used for bigger priced items. Verification of where the money is going is required, and often the money doesn&#8217;t go directly to you. With a Payday Loan Online, there&#8217;s no verification. You don&#8217;t need someone else&#8217;s approval to get the money you need. There are also no long-term payments with high interest rates added on regularly so that you end up paying back double what the loan was for. The loan is repaid your very next payday, and you don&#8217;t have to worry about it again.</p>
<p>A Payday Loan Online is available to you any time you have internet access. It&#8217;s fast, easy, and there for you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Just click on the link, and you&#8217;re ready to apply!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just imagine what the world would be like without the payday loan online. Think of what type of financial chaos would exist. Well, there&#8217;s already financial chaos in the world, but just imagine how much worse it would be if there was not some type of solution for individuals who need a quick monetary fix for an emergency situation. Life would be a lot more difficult and the public would be a lot more stressed out over money matters.</p>
<p>If a cash advance such as a payday loan online didn&#8217;t exist, then people would be bickering with their families more. They would owe money to family members and not be able to pay it back by the time the family member wanted it back. They would also lose very important pieces of jewelry or other possessions to pawn shops for small amounts of money. Of course anytime someone tries to retrieve those belongings, the cost can be double the cash they received when they pawned the items. Both of these can lead to an utter mess.</p>
<p>Fortunately, payday loans do exist. They exist so that you do not have to borrow money off of family members or pawn your grandmother&#8217;s 100 year old jewelry for pennies. Payday loans exist to make life easier for you when the unexpected comes your way. Unfortunately, we are not psychics and cannot tell when an emergency is going to come about. If we did, then there would be no such thing as a crisis.</p>
<p>But the crisis does exist and usually involves money. Reasons why you may need a cash advance from payday loans include:</p>
<p>1. Your kids tell you at the last minute that picture day is just a couple of days away or they have a field trip coming up.</p>
<p>2. You have a sick family member in another state and you need gas money, a rental car, or a plane ticket in a hurry.</p>
<p>3. Someone within your household becomes sick and you need money to purchase medication.</p>
<p>4. Your car breaks down and you need a way to fix it so you can go to and from work.</p>
<p>5. Your air conditioning or heating goes out in your home and you need money to have the unit repaired.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the reasons as to why you need a payday loan online. Your cash advance can solve any issue that comes about. The company providing you with the cash advance will never ask any questions. They don&#8217;t want to know why you&#8217;re using the money. They don&#8217;t even check your credit. They just want you to have a job and a bank account when applying for payday loans so that the cash advance amount can be deposited into your account.</p>
<p>Seems easy enough, doesn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s because it is. Your payday loan online is designed to help you dig yourself out of a hole quickly and that is exactly what it does. So if the world didn&#8217;t have payday loans, you can probably see that it would be in total chaos. Fortunately, the payday loan online keeps that from happening.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you in need of cash in a hurry? If you do, then that is no problem. It is inevitable that emergencies come out of nowhere that result in a need for cash fast. These are usually the times when the money isn&#8217;t in your pocket and it isn&#8217;t in the bank either. If this describes your situation, then you are in luck. How could you be so lucky? It is more or less the fact that there are companies out there who realize things happen, so they provide you with the opportunity to receive a payday loan online.</p>
<p>These cash advances are also called cash advance payday loans. When driving around your town you may see offices that are advertising payday loans. You may have even utilized their payday loans services at one time or another. But with cash advance payday loans online, you do not have to step foot in an office. What you do is you simply hop online to see how much money you can possibly receive to take care of your emergency situation. However, there is a proper way for you to handle this kind of loan so that you can reap all of the benefits.</p>
<p>How to handle it</p>
<p>A payday loan online, just like any short-term loan, may require you to provide a few pieces of basic information. Since you are dealing with the company online, you may need to fax a copy of your license, a bank statement, and/or a check stub. This is simply to ensure that you are who you say you are and that the bank account involved is a real bank account. Besides, you are receiving a cash advance online that is carrying you over to your next payday so that you can take care of your emergency situation now.</p>
<p>Also know that cash advance payday loans come with a higher interest rate because they are a short-term loan. They also do not usually require a credit check, but just proof that you are employed and can pay the money back in a timely manner. Paying the money back late can result in a late fee. However, paying off payday loans early can reduce the interest you have to pay.</p>
<p>Benefits</p>
<p>After you have received your payday loan online, you are then able to take care of your emergency situation as soon as possible. If your car needs that new alternator or your child&#8217;s medical treatment cost you so much that you don&#8217;t have enough left to get groceries for the week, there is no reason to fret. Getting a payday loan online can be the solution you need. There is nothing wrong with cash advance payday loans for the simple fact that everyone has encountered an emergency situation at one time or another.</p>
<p>Another great thing about cash advance payday loans online is the fact that everything is very discreet. No one has to see you walking into or out of a payday loans office. No one at all ever has to know that you&#8217;re using payday loans to get yourself through the rough times. What&#8217;s even better is that you will have the money to get done what you need done and a payday loan online will help you get that done quickly.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A cash advance payday loan might just be the solution you are looking for if you have found yourself coming up short on cash. Coming up short on cash can arise at any given time and leave an individual feeling hopeless. For these reasons, people start to look for a relief to their financial problems. This is where a cash advance or payday loan can come in handy.</p>
<p>What is a payday advance or cash loan you might ask? Well, for one, these loans have a lot of names that you might have heard them called. You might have heard, short term loans, payday advances, cash advance loans, cash advance payday loans, cash loans, fast cash, fast loans, bad credit loans and deferred deposit loans. Whatever term you use, they all mean the same thing. A cash advance loan is a short term loan usually loaned out in the amount of $100.00 to $1500.00. Because this type of loan is meant to be short term, it is expected to be paid back on the next payday of the borrower. Usually withing 2-4 weeks time. Most of these cash advance payday loan lenders will not require direct deposit, will do no credit checks and often times no faxing is required. What other kind of loan is this easy?</p>
<p>Requirements to getting a cash advance payday loan are really very easy to meet. The first requirement that you must meet in order to qualify for a fast cash loan is that you must be a United States Citizen that is at least 18 years of age or older. A second requirement that a lender will require you to have is that you must be employed at your current job for at least 3 months or more (sometimes you just have to show proof that you make a steady income of at least $1000.00 a month if you don&#8217;t have a job and you get social security for example). A third requirement is that you have an active checking account. These are the main requirements that you will need to have in order to apply for cash advance or payday loan.</p>
<p>Reasons that you might need to apply for a cash advance payday loan are, you might have some unplanned bills to pay, a vehicle repair, buy something you need or just need some money to have some fun with. You can use your money for whatever purpose you like. It&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p>There are two ways of getting a short term loan. One way to apply is to go to a local payday advance office and fill out all the paperwork and sit there and wait to be approved. Or, you can choose to go online and apply for a fast cash loan on one of the numerous websites that are on the Internet. It is up to you, but, if you should choose to go online to apply it would be a much faster and easier way then driving to a local office. By choosing to go online for a cash advance payday loan all you will need to do is fill out a quick and easy 2 minute application form and submit it at the click of a button. The approval process takes no time at all and then your money will quickly be deposited into your checking or savings account.</p>
<p>When paying these loans back, always make sure that you pay them back on time or before the due date. This will save you from having to pay an extra fee for being late. Also, there are no limitations to how many of these loans you apply for. You can take out one, and then when you pay it back, in a month if you need one again you can easily apply for another.</p>
<p>A cash advance loan can very well be a quick and easy solution to coming up short on cash. If you need money now you can easily get the money you need within 1 hour after being approved.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Out of all the different types of personal loans that are available to you, a payday loan is probably the easiest. That does not mean it is the best, but it is certainly the easiest and absolutely the quickest way to get a personal loan. Let&#8217;s look at the factors behind this statement.</p>
<p>When you go to apply for a personal loan, you have many options, like going to your bank, your credit union, or a company that specializes in personal loans. The latter type of company is going to charge you a higher rate of interest, typically, but then again they are usually quite a bit more lenient with their credit requirements than banks are. You fill out the credit application form, perhaps put down some collateral to secure the loan, and then several days later, you find out if your loan was approved and are able to go and get your money.</p>
<p>This is all well and good, but what if you have some kind of pressing emergency or financial obligation where you need that money RIGHT NOW?  Or what if your credit score is a bit tarnished, or you even know that you have bad credit and filling out that credit application is just an exercise in futility?  In fact, what if you know that your credit is so bad that if you were loaning the money, YOU would not even loan it to you?</p>
<p>This is where a payday loan can be a life saver. There is typically no credit check so you don&#8217;t need to worry about how bad your credit might be. If you have a regular job and source of income, simply bring your last couple of paycheck stubs with you when you go to get your payday loan. That&#8217;s all there is to it. With your identification and paycheck stubs, you can have your loan in a matter of a couple hours. This is the only type of personal loan that can be provided as quickly as this, which is a major benefit if you have bad credit or you need the money as soon as absolutely possible.</p>
<p>Now on the downside, if you have decent or good credit and if you don&#8217;t need the money right now but can wait a few days, this is not the type of loan for you. In this case, you are much further ahead to go to your bank, credit union, or loan company.  First of all, the interest rate is going to be lower, almost guaranteed. While a payday loan is quick and easy, it is also a big risk for the lender, who covers much of that risk by having interest rates that are typically astronomical. The other reason is because a payday loan needs to be repaid within a couple of weeks to a month, usually on your next payday which is where the name of this type of loan comes from. You can sometimes extend the payback period if you cannot repay the loan on your next payday, but getting such an extension will cause very high late fees to be added to the payback amount, so you do not want to extend the payback period if you can absolutely avoid it.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that a payday loan can be a superb way to get a loan quickly without having to worry about your credit score, but be aware of the downside of this type of loan so that you go into it knowing what to expect.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have probably seen the commercials telling you to &#8220;bring in your car title and get the cash you need&#8221;. It sounds easy enough. You just give them your car title and they give you the money. But what do you think happens if you don&#8217;t come up with the money when it is time to repay the loan? If your car is worth several thousand dollars, you probably don&#8217;t want to risk losing it to borrow $500 for a couple of weeks!</p>
<p>With a Payday Loan Online, there is no collateral. You just need to be of legal age, which is 18 years of age or older, have a current checking or savings account, and a stable source of income. If your income is not from employment but is from a steady, verifiable source, you may still qualify.</p>
<p>You can usually borrow in the amount of $500 to $1500 with a Payday Loan Online. It is a short-term loan that costs you a small one-time fee that depends on the amount you borrow. There are no long-term payments, no high interest charges, and no collateral. To apply, just click on the link. The quick and easy application can be completed in no more than two minutes tops. Approval is almost instant. Then, when you qualify, the money is deposited into your checking account in as little as one hour.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no real risk with a Payday Loan Online. If you get a loan based on your current employment, you&#8217;ve probably already worked enough to secure your next payday. If something goes wrong and you have to miss work, your next payday is already covered. There&#8217;s no collateral, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about losing your car and with no long-term payments and high interest rates, you don&#8217;t have to worry about losing your shirt!</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also no credit check with a Payday Loan Online. You don&#8217;t have to be concerned about being turned down because of a couple of late payments. Or if you&#8217;ve never really established credit, that&#8217;s okay, too. Your payday is your security for your cash advance.</p>
<p>The application for a Payday Loan Online is completed on the internet. So is the approval and the repayment of the loan. When your next payday is deposited into your bank account, the amount you borrowed, plus the fee, is electronically withdrawn from the account. There is no paperwork to fill out or to fax from start to finish. You don&#8217;t have to supply bank statements or pay stubs from your employment. You don&#8217;t even have to write an actual check.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s completed online, the Payday Loan Online is private and secure. You don&#8217;t have to worry about your information going to someone else. You also don&#8217;t have to feel uncomfortable about going out to a payday advance office. Nobody else will need to know your business. A Payday Loan Online can be applied for at any time, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. If an unplanned expense should arise, you&#8217;ll know within minutes if you qualify for the money that you need.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s say at this moment you have officially encountered a situation in which you need money fast. You have found that your wallet is empty, your checking account has a zero balance, and you had to drain out your savings account last month when your car broke down. This seems like a rather grim situation, doesn&#8217;t it? But it doesn&#8217;t have to be. With all of this hanging over your head in a little dark cloud, you went online to find a solution. What you found is that a payday loan online can provide you with the answer that you need.</p>
<p>Cash advance payday loans provide you with the short-term solution that you need by helping you with your finances in between your paydays. Most of the time payday loans are sought out because an individual has encountered a situation that is an emergency. In this emergency, money is the only thing that can rectify the situation, but solving the problem is hard to solve when there is no money to work with. That is why the payday loan online was invented. It was invented with the intention of helping people make it to their next payday when unexpected expenses come about before the paycheck does.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the catch?</p>
<p>With payday loans, there is no catch. Everything you need to know is disclosed to you at the time you take the cash advance online. There is a fee for taking the payday loan online and there is interest that is incurred during the period in which you are borrowing the money. If you are late in paying back cash advance payday loans, then there is a late fee. And yes, payday loans are as simple as that.</p>
<p>It may seem too good to be true that you can receive a cash advance online since it seems hard enough to get one when walking in a financial institution in person. Fortunately, it isn&#8217;t too good to be true. In the day and age when the world moves so fast that unexpected things seem to happen constantly, it is only reasonable that a solution such as payday loans exist. Cash advance payday loans take the financial stress out of a person&#8217;s life and put it at bay. This stress is unnecessary stress that something as simple as cash advance payday loans can relieve. And all of this can be done for a minimal cost, although it is hard to put a price on being able to pacify an emergency quickly.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate</p>
<p>So if that emergency comes about and you need to do something about it fast, don&#8217;t hesitate to apply for your payday loan online. As said before, it is a cash advance online that can take care of your situation in no time. You can quickly have the money in your bank account ready for you to use. That&#8217;s the beauty of a payday loan online. But you don&#8217;t want to hesitate because the sooner you act, the sooner payday loans are processed. The sooner cash advance payday loans are processed; the sooner you can take care of your worries and get on with your life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve read the fairy tales. You know&#8230; the ones where the night in shining armor rescues the damsel in distress. The endings are always happy, but many cynics feel that real life can&#8217;t have such an extravagant ending. They believe that once a crisis hits, nothing can go anywhere but downhill. Fortunately, that isn&#8217;t the case. However, those fairy tale happy endings had to be based on something in real life, right? And the good news is that you can have a happy ending of your own even if the times are way beyond the days of Shakespeare. But how do you know that your own night in shining armor exists? Well, that&#8217;s easy. It&#8217;s called a payday loan online.</p>
<p>A payday loan online rides up on its white horse and whisks you away from the woes of financial distress. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are a dame or a sir, financial emergencies constitute some kind of rescuing. That means anyone is a candidate, especially when in need of a short-term solution, which is exactly what a payday cash advance gives you. This type of cash advance does not require that you wait in your prison tower for long periods of time before being rescued. It also does not require you to be confined in the shackles of a financial institution while paying back a long-term debt. What this cash advance does is place money in your hand quickly, provides you with what you need to solve your problem, and allows you to pay it back quickly. This makes a payday cash advance very handsome or very beautiful to the eyes that fall upon it.</p>
<p>Is there a catch?</p>
<p>The only catch to a payday cash advance is the one you get when you jump from the tower window so that you can run free. A payday loan online does, however, contain a cash advance fee and interest. But what lender doesn&#8217;t have some kind of fee or interest? The answer to that is none. Yes, it may seem like your payday cash advance is charging you for the rescue, but think of it this way: If a payday loan online didn&#8217;t exist, where would you be able to go? You probably would not be able to go much of anywhere. For one, those with bad credit cannot acquire personal loans and, second, those with good credit can acquire a personal loan, but not without borrowing more than they need and paying on that for years.</p>
<p>You certainly don&#8217;t want to be indebted to anyone for long periods of time because of a cash advance. You only need to be indebted to a lender until your next payday. That&#8217;s the beauty of a payday cash advance.</p>
<p>Are you swooning?</p>
<p>So now that you laid your eyes upon the very handsome and beautiful payday loan online, it is hard to not want to reach out and scream, &#8220;Rescue me!&#8221; This cash advance can bail you out of your financial prison and allow you to continue on your anxiety-free road to freedom. Just remember that you will be able to call on your payday cash advance lender anytime you are captured by the villains of circumstance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes borrowing money seems like the only way to deal with debt. Whether you need rent money or your car payment is due or whatever the case may be the fact is, sometimes you need cash and you need it yesterday.</p>
<p>But what if you really need to borrow money but your credit stinks? This can present a real problem if you need thousands of dollars. But if you only need a few hundred dollars then you&#8217;re in luck because there are Payday loan lenders that you can turn to in your time of need.</p>
<p>What exactly is a Payday Loan?</p>
<p>Bad credit payday loans are basically a cash advance on your next paycheck and can be obtained easily without good credit. These are basically short term loans without a credit check. They can be obtained quickly providing the cash you need when you really need it. Now!</p>
<p>Payday cash advance lenders are readily available and you can get a loan and get your money immediately if you are in a lenders office or usually the same day or overnight if you apply online.</p>
<p>No Credit Checks Required!</p>
<p>You are not required to have good credit or any credit at all to qualify for a Payday loan. These lenders will not check the borrower&#8217;s credit report or contact your creditors or your employer (except to confirm employment).</p>
<p>There Are However Some Requirements to Get a Cash Advance Loan</p>
<p>The approval process may be quick and easy but there are a few requirements that you must satisfy in order for your application to be accepted. The main criteria that are needed by a lender are as follows:</p>
<p>1. You must be employed or otherwise have a stable and steady monthly income of at least $1000.</p>
<p>2. You must have a checking account with a bank that is in good standing</p>
<p>3. You must be 18 years of age or older</p>
<p>4. You must be a U.S. citizen</p>
<p>If you can satisfy these requirements then your cash advance payday loan should be approved and you will have your much needed cash quickly.</p>
<p>Higher Interest Rates Are the Price You Pay for Bad Credit Loans</p>
<p>Be aware of the higher than normal interest rates and other fees that you may incur with your payday loan. These extra fees may include but are not limited to flat rate finance charges or one time service charges. Shop around to find a lender that best suits your needs. Just because most lenders are generally the same does not mean they are all created equal. Their interest rates and additional fees will vary from business to business.</p>
<p>Also some lenders may offer discount rates for new or returning customers so shopping around can lead to savings now and in the future.</p>
<p>Where You Can Find a Payday Loan Lender</p>
<p>You can find lenders to provide the payday loan you need in the yellow pages of your phone book and by searching for the keywords payday loan or cash advance loan online at your favorite search engine.</p>
<p>Online is the preferred way to find a lender.</p>
<p>Online you will be able to locate a variety of lenders quickly and apply for your loan immediately. This gives you the ability to get a loan and have the money in your bank account the same day without ever leaving your living room.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New York Times has a good overview of the various payday loan reform bills currently being considered as well as some of the laws that were passed in the past several years.  Here&#8217;s an excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ohio lawmakers sought last spring to aid borrowers like Ms. Minda by capping annual interest rates for payday lenders at 28 percent, a sharp reduction from 391 percent. But lenders are fighting back in a novel way, collecting enough signatures, once certified, to force a vote in November on a ballot measure that could overturn legislation that established the rate cap.</p>
<p>“You can’t make a payday loan cheaper than the industry does,” said Steven Schlein, a spokesman for the Washington-based <a title="More information about Community Financial Corporation" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/community-financial-corporation/index.html?inline=nyt-org">Community Financial</a> Services Association of America, which represents lenders.</p>
<p>Mr. Schlein said lenders had left other states that had recently capped rates at 36 percent or lower. “Consumer choice has always worked best,” he said. “That’s what drives prices down, not eliminating competition.”</p>
<p>In Arizona, an exemption allowing payday lenders to charge 400 percent interest will expire in 2010, with the cap reverting to 36 percent. Lenders there are supporting a ballot measure in November to extend the exemption permanently. The payday loan industry has grown fivefold this decade, from lending $10 billion in 2000 to $50 billion in 2007, according to Stephens Inc., a brokerage in Little Rock, Ark., which said lenders collected $8.6 billion in fees last year.</p>
<p>In 2006, Congress capped rates for payday loans at 36 percent for military personnel. Following that example, Arkansas, the District of Columbia, New Hampshire and Oregon, as well as Ohio, have capped rates at 36 percent or lower.</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[ For immediate release: Sunday, August 31, 2008 Ohioans For Financial Freedom Files More Than 400,000 Signatures To Give Ohioans Financial Choices and Jobs Columbus? Ohioans For Financial Freedom made its voice loud and clear today filing more than 400,000 signatures with the Ohio Secretary of State from Ohioans who want to keep their financial choices and 6,000 good paying jobs. Ohio consumers and volunteers helped unload the boxes and boxes of signatures helping put a Vote No on Issue 5 measure on the November 4 ballot. “This effort was a great opportunity to hear from Ohioans, and it’s clear from this massive number of signatures there is a strong sentiment among voters that politicians need to stop killing jobs and financial choices in the state – especially when the economy is faltering and businesses are fleeing Ohio, “ said Committee Member Bridgette Roman.“ In signing the petition, Ohioans took part in their democratic right to repeal a bad law (H.B. 545). “Ohioans have been enthusiastic about this effort because they are tired of government inserting itself where it is not needed,” said Roman. “Ohioans deserve to have financial choices.” The number of signatures filed is well over the 241,365 signatures from 44 Ohio counties required by law. The signatures provided to the Secretary of State (SOS), are now sent to the local county boards of elections for verification, then back to the SOS for official certification. Today’s filing of the 400,000 plus signatures comes on the heels of strong endorsements from the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Grocers Association. read more ]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve recently read about several contests or competitions to encourage low or middle-income families to save more money.  The contests are usually sponsored by local banks or non-profit organizations, and reward the family that saves the most with a financial bonus.  One example is discussed in today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.elpasotimes.com/business/ci_10294191">El Paso Times</a>.  Here&#8217;s a brief quote about the contest:</p>
<p><span id="RDS-site"></p>
<blockquote><p>The Duran family is one of six families participating in this year&#8217;s GECU Savings Challenge. The families were given &#8220;coaches,&#8221; GECU employees who helped them set goals and are giving them guidance.</p>
<p>The top two families will win $10,000 each, while the other families will get $2,500 each for participating.</p>
<p>The goal of the program is to educate the families about sound financial habits but also help educate the community by using the families as examples.</p>
<p>Maureen Hankins, director of the El Paso YWCA&#8217;s Consumer Credit Counseling Service, which is not affiliated with the challenge, said that using the families as public examples can help others who are facing similar issues.</p>
<p>Consumers &#8220;can read about other people who are just like them and think, &#8216;I can do this too,&#8217; &#8221; Hankins said. &#8220;People don&#8217;t want to discuss their money issues and money problems with other people.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of people think they are alone in their situation. That&#8217;s not true. Everyone has the same money issues. Everyone is trying to save and everyone is trying to get out of debt.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The credit crisis is about to hit our quality of life according to a recent article in Fortune.</p>
<p>We are used to being able to afford a higher standard of living each year.</p>
<p>Even with stagnant real incomes, we can always live a little better every year through borrowing and pretending that our living standard is still rising, just as it was for decades. Last year, just as the subprime crisis happened, credit card debt took off. The home-equity ATM had been shut down, so people turned to the last source of easy money they had left, the most expensive debt on the menu, credit card borrowing. Since credit card debt has been growing much faster than the economy - more than 8% in last year&#8217;s third and fourth quarters and over 7% in May (the most recent month reported)- people are apparently using it as a substitute for income. Credit card debt, like mortgage debt, gets bundled, securitized, and sold off by banks. Citigroup, one of America&#8217;s largest credit card lenders, just reported that it lost $176 million in the second quarter through securitizing such debt. That happens when the buyers of those securities observe rising delinquency rates and rising interest rates, and decide the debt is worth less than Citi thought. More generally, the amount of credit card debt that is securitized nationwide has plunged by more than half in the past five months because it&#8217;s getting riskier. That means credit card issuers will be charging customers higher interest rates, and since the banks can&#8217;t offload as much of the debt as before, they&#8217;ll have less money to lend to cardholders. But bottom line, the credit card money window is going to start closing - and soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Seattle Post Intelligencer has a great essay on the political psychology of debt.  Here&#8217;s a taste of the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>Today, our current economic troubles notwithstanding, we yet presume that prosperity-via-indebtedness is our natural and eternal condition. As for our addiction to debt-as addicts say, &#8220;We can handle it.&#8221; But we can&#8217;t. And the four addictions that have made for our 21st century prosperity are rapidly becoming the four walls of our debtors&#8217; prison.</p></blockquote>
<p>The essay argues that, unless we change, Americans are doomed to end up in a virtual &#8220;debtors prison&#8221;, strapped with consumer debt.<br />

<p>Here&#8217;s a quote from the post:</p>
<blockquote><p>On average, the nation&#8217;s five publicly traded payday lending companies earn a 6.6 percent profit on their income. To help put this in perspective, IHOP Corp., otherwise known as the International House of Pancakes, earns a profit margin of 12.6 percent. Is IHOP gouging Americans&#8217; wallets with their Belgian waffles, omelets, and blueberry pancakes? The restaurant industry is commonly said to have &#8220;razor-thin profit margins,&#8221; yet payday lending companies earn half of what this well-known chain brings in.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although it is unfair to compare payday loan fees to credit card fees (a payday borrower may not even have access to a credit card due to a poor, thin, or non existent credit history), the comparison is often made.  With recent fee increases and penalties by credit card issuers, the gap between the two products is closing quickly.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quote from a recent article in Parade Magazine which describes rising credit card fees:</p>
<blockquote><p>Consider the case of a young sailor who opened a credit-card account at First Premier Bank in November 2006. By the end of January 2007, thanks to a pile-on of charges, he owed $379.45 on $84.85 worth of purchases.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sen. Daniel K. Akaka, D-Hawai‘i, introduced legislation recently to improve access to banks and alternatives to payday loans.</p>
<p>The bill is cosponsored by Sens. Charles E. Schumer, D-New York; Joseph Lieberman, ID-Conn.; and Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii.</p>
<p><span class="storydetail">This bill will also encourage banks and credit unions to provide an affordable alternative to predatory payday loans which typically carry exploitative fees.”</p>
<p>The bill creates two grant programs within the Department of the Treasury. The first authorizes grants intended to help low- and moderate- income unbanked individuals establish bank or credit union accounts, providing consumers with alternatives to rapid refund loans, check cashing services, and lower cost remittances. In addition, bank and credit union accounts provide access to savings and affordable borrowing opportunities.</p>
<p>The second provides consumers with a lower-cost, short-term alternative to payday loans by encouraging the development of affordable payday loan alternatives at mainstream financial institutions. Consumers who apply for these loans would be provided with financial literacy and educational opportunities. Loans extended to consumers under the grant would be subject to the annual percentage rate promulgated by the National Credit Union Administration’s Loan Interest Rates, currently capped at an annual percentage rate of 18 percent.</span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And then we&#8217;ll take a break.</p>
<p>There was lots of local news coverage this week about the payday loan legislation in Ohio.  Here&#8217;s a sampling.  This one is from the <a href="http://blog.dispatch.com/dailybriefing/2008/08/first_payday_fight_who_gets_th.shtml">Columbus Dispatch</a>.  </p>
<blockquote><p>But those fighting to protect the new payday lending law say this is not a traditional referendum. Instead of asking voters to repeal the entire law, payday lenders are asking for only a partial repeal of House Bill 545 – the portion that eliminates the current payday interest rates.</p>
<p>“What they’re actually doing is trying to repeal the repeal of the old payday lending law,” said Bill Faith, leader of the group trying to save HB 545. “So if they want a ‘vote no’ to repeal the repeal, I don’t think that meets the standard of clear and concise language for the voter. So the Ballot Board has a challenge.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Stay tuned&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The CFSA (an industry association for payday lenders) has released a new research report that discusses what would happen if payday advances were eliminated.  The report argues that families could be worse off without access to payday loans.  A review of the report (and a link to the actual report) can be found at PaydayPundit&#8217;s website.  Here&#8217;s a snippet from the paydaypundit review:</p>
<blockquote><p>Urban Institute report recommends better disclosures and increased competition to protect consumers WASHINGTON–A new report by the Urban Institute finds that if payday advances are eliminated they “could be replaced by alternatives that make families even worse off.” In “Enabling Families to Weather Emergencies and Develop the Role of Assets,” by Signe-Mary McKernan and Caroline Ratcliffe, the researchers find that low-income working families need access to small loans, such as payday advances, to help weather bad patches. Instead of regulating prices charged on small, short-term loans, the authors argue that increasing competition will drive prices down. They express concern that regulating prices “would make fewer small, short-term loans available” and suggest that prices can be driven down, not by setting rates, but by “regulating disclosures; requiring licensing, reporting, and examinations; and creating incentives for financial institutions to provide small loan services.” “The Urban Institute understands that eliminating payday advances is not in the best interest of working families,” said D. Lynn DeVault, president, Community Financial Services Association of America. “Its recommendations ensure that consumers would be aware of all of the fees associated with a credit product so they can compare their alternatives and make an educated decision based on what is best for them.” Specific policy recommendations in the Urban Institute report: Disclosures. Regulate standard, clear, and timely disclosures of the total loan cost so consumers know their full obligation and can easily compare what various lenders charge for loans…Stating the fee as a dollar amount instead of or in addition to the annual percentage rate (APR) may be easier for consumers to understand on short-term loans. read more</p></blockquote>
