A payday loan is an unsecured, short-term loan until the next salary. Usually it is used to cover unexpected expenses that might crop up between two pay days while avoiding late payment penalties and bounced cheque fees. It can be applied online at the numerous websites available for this purpose and the money will be deposited via secured internet service into the borrower’s nominated savings or checking bank account.
To qualify for a payday loan in UK one must be:
Qualification is simple but the loan is not for those who only earn Social Security, Retirement Pay, Commission based pay and payment only by mileage. The loan is also approved to borrowers having bad credit history, bankrupts, tenants, living with parents, etc.
In UK, one can borrow between £300 and £1000 for the first loan. Once that is repaid in full and within time, the borrower can borrow more. However the maximum amount depends upon the net take home salary of an individual.
Repayment period is between 15-30 days and is a very simple process. The amount due plus the charges will be taken out of the bank account via a pre-authorized debit instruction from the bank on the due date. The charges vary from different financial institutions offering pay day loans. In UK it is mostly around £30 for every £100 borrowed. These fees must be paid in full on the repayment of the loan. One may need not fax the documents. Verification is done over the phone and via internet and so approval of the loan is very fast.
Summary:
Payday Loan is a great option to salaried individuals for meeting those unexpected expenses between successive paydays. Although it is very easy to get a payday loan, one must exercise great caution in using the loan money and repayment is a must because one may easily get burdened with extra fees and bad credit history which will get reported.
